Is there any evidence for evolution?

[Kenny'sID]

Theistic scientists are not motivated by any need to "explain God out of the picture". They are motivated by the evidence for evolution, and they explicitly reject an atheistic interpretation of Darwin's theory.

So you say.

So-called evidence for evolution is motivated for, hence created by the need to explain God out of the picture.

Benn doing this since 2003 and they do not differ from Darwinians in any significant way. The only way to interpret Darwinism is as sheer atheistic materialism. God doesn't even get credit as designer but he can guide the process if he uses only naturalistic means. No nothing atheistic about that at all.

It is creationists who claim that evolution "explains God out of the picture", not Christian biologists who accept evolution.

You are the one who won't give God credit for evolution.

Sometimes I think your a Darwinian sock puppet. Ran into several including one blatantly obvious one arguing the Sun was revolving around the earth.

Unfortunately 25% of Americans believe just that:

I have long since given up be being amazed at what home schooling can do for Americans.

No that would be a naturalistic assumption thar would motivate them to categorically reject God as cause of anything ever.

That is undiluted crap, but don't let that bother you.

I do give God credit for the molecular mechanisms responsible for adaptive radiation on an evolutionary scale. I just don't attribute to the creature what is rightfully attributed to the creator.

 

[mark kennedy]

Undiluted carp yet not one of you considers Go's as Creator worthy of even being an alternative to exclusively causes when logic and reason demand God must be.

How many miracles do you witness each day? If the answer is none, either you must say that God routinely uses the ordinary processes of nature, in order to accompany his purposes, or you must say that he is totally absent from the world.

We no more need to explain away God to escape Hell than you need to explain away Santa Claus to prevent coal from appearing in your Christmas stocking.

Yet you are here day in and day out trying to do just that.

Otherwise, why come to a Christian site and push things that aren't Biblical? Face it, you just tripped over yourself badly there.

For instance, I'm not going to a Flat Earth site to try to prove earth is round. Why? because I think it's ridiculous, same with outrageous religions or whatever, yet you and others are here arguing what you SAY you think is ridiculous Santa stuff. So that all adds up to your quoted comment being and absolute lie. You DO have the need to explain God away with your nonbiblical fantasies, and try to do just that.

Your actions speak much louder than your words.

Not to worry.

No that was a reference to the king James being the only word of God. Just like the Sun revolving around the earth those arguments made by Darwinians pretending to by e creationists I suspect.

And on the other side of that coin. Many so-called believers who choose not to believe in the Bible as it is written, along with bitter Atheists who have the need to make God disappear so they don't have the thought of Hell looming, all have a great tendency to try to explain God out of the picture.

I, for one, am far more fearful of nothingness than hell. It is not fear of hell which affects my atheism. If my beliefs were dictated by fear, I'd be a Christian.

On a side note: I've not found the numbers I was looking for in our other discussion. I'm going to have to find the relative numbers separately and do the math myself, it would appear, or approach it with a different tact. Just so you know I haven't forgotten, nor given up on it, just taking a little time...

What's a Darwinian sock puppet?

Ah, so you have converted to Catholicism.

Read The Trail of Blood, by J.M. Carroll.

When I made my last comment on that, I was actually trying to say, you may carry on without the numbers, just keep in mind that would always be a pending issue. Of course it might be a good idea to settle it first so, I get that too.

Notice that you just can't give God credit for what nature does.

Hell is full of G.I. Joes.

By the way that NSF survey was awkwardly worded and more of a reading comprehension test then a science quiz.
