That implies the doctrine of Sola Scriptura which is not accepted by all Christians. Is Sola Scriptura required for salvation?How can you desire to become an American and not believe in the Constitution on which it's founded?
He did create all things. Evolution and the creatures it produces are His handiwork.Let me ask you a question and hopefully you can be honest in your answer.... if you don't believe that God created all things, as His Word says, then how do you believe that the same God can redeem you, offer you salvation?
How can you make such a statement... have you seen "with our own eyes" anything that is supposedly billions of years old? You may have seen an old object that you were told was billions of years old but if you were not told that objects age, would you reason it's age just from it's appearance?So we have to deny our own eyes that show the earth is billions of years old and life on it evolved?
So now you're going to resort to insults? I did answer your question if you read what I wrote.Instead of being mealy-mouthed about it, why not just answer the question directly?
Is belief in independent creation of living organisms required to be a Christian. Yes or no?
No, I asked "as His Word says"... He did not infer evolution at all. How can you reject a part of His Holy Word and yet accept another part? Convenience?He did create all things. Evolution and the creatures it produces are His handiwork.

It's interesting that the Nicene Creed is upheld as more truthful than the Word of God is on these forums...That implies the doctrine of Sola Scriptura which is not accepted by all Christians. Is Sola Scriptura required for salvation?
You seem to be confusing "interprets differently" with "rejecting". No Christian rejects any part of the Bible. That's is a libelous and borderline CF rule violating falsehood that Creationists spread.No, I asked "as His Word says"... He did not infer evolution at all. How can you reject a part of His Holy Word and yet accept another part? Convenience?
I don't reject any of it. I just interpret parts of it differently than you do.No, I asked "as His Word says"... He did not infer evolution at all. How can you reject a part of His Holy Word and yet accept another part? Convenience?
Please enlighten me.... show me in the Bible were God implies the evolutionary concept?Looks like we've got someone who doesn't understand the difference between Creationism and God creating.
There is no such part. The Bible does not address the topic of evolution.Please enlighten me.... show me in the Bible were God implies the evolutionary concept?

You are speaking for Christians now as an atheist? That's rich.... you can't misinterpret the creation account in Genesis. You can reject it or seek to alter it in your own intellectualism but the Word is plain as written. "And the evening and the morning were the 1st day"You seem to be confusing "interprets differently" with "rejecting". No Christian rejects any part of the Bible. That's is a libelous and borderline CF rule violating falsehood that Creationists spread.
I've long tried to figure out the point of creationist beliefs. It's been quite well established on this forum that creationist beliefs offer no scientific value. And given that all the organizations promoting creationism are inherently religious in nature, the only reason for creationist beliefs seems to be theological.
Thus, is creationism* as a belief required to be a Christian? Is it required for salvation?
Is anyone who is not a creationist doomed to go to Hell?
*(For the purpose of this thread, I am defining creationism as the belief that life forms on Earth were independently created by a supernatural being and not a result of biological evolution.)
How do you interpret "and the evening and morning were the second day" as anything other than what it says? How do you reason that God made the grass and trees on the 3rd day but not the animals to pollinate them til the 6th day? Is this even remotely possible in a "millions of years" separation of creation days? No.I don't reject any of it. I just interpret parts of it differently than you do.
There are Christians in this forum who are, unfortunately, evolutionists.
Maybe because it didn't happen that way? Beware the word of man over the Word of God.There is no such part. The Bible does not address the topic of evolution.
Because you lack faith, you of course could not understand how these things could exist in God's universe. Because you reject God, you must find an alternative explanation for these things. I do not...
