Just who do you claim created you, GOD or man?

you can never beat a good platitude, eh joe?

I think I'm losing the will to live.

Faith is only truely validated within the hearts of believers.

Too bad faith isnt fact

 

[Mike Flynn]

Christians believe that God created the earth and all of its inhabitants.

As do all theists.

Evolutionists believe the earth created itself.

Evolution studies the mechanisms that gave rise to biological life on the earth. If God's tool to form life were those mechanisms, then who are you to say otherwise?

By the way The Big Bang Theory is tyhe silliest theory ever embraced by modern humanistic society.

Since the Big Bang is quite biblical, I would say that your assertions are false both theologically and scientifically.

 

[PreacherJoe]

You're right; it doesn't stand up to the one about the two naked people, the magic garden, and the talking snake....

Nathan as Christians we accept the creation story completely on faith and not the merits of how plausible it may seem to the human mind. Are you admitting by your corellation that the Big Bang is also accepted based on faith rather than factual evidence ? Are there any atheists or agnostics on here that question any of these theories ?

It didn't really work for me. Perhaps he needs a platitude adjustment?

By your own words, it would be hypocritical for you to refer to any other theory as "silly."

Are you admitting by your corellation that the Big Bang is also accepted based on faith rather than factual evidence ?

Not at all. There's plenty of factual evidence for the Big Bang... look it up sometime.

Are there any atheists or agnostics on here that question any of these theories ?

Constantly. Non-stop. 24/7. That's what science is all about, after all...

That these theories have thus far stood up to every question, skeptic, and attempt to tear them down is what makes them generally accepted.

I am new here so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place, I have read this whole thread and I would like to say.....God asks us to have child like faith, close our eyes and walk on water.........knowing He will catch us...if you look at the body and the miracle of birth ( how the body knows just what to do, even down to breast feeding ) how could that come from a big bang in the sky.......If you look at a flower and the simple beauty of it, how could that come from a big bang.There is a Master mind behind it all, God............As far as sin we are covered by the blood of the lamb, no matter how hard we try each day we blow it, ans sin......The painful nails were pounded into our Lords flesh so we can life in freedom and peace of knowing we don't need to worrry about works or being perfect, as the Holy Spirit directs us to want to be more like Christ, or we are doing it in our own flesh, not the spirit of Christ..........A child has a special way of looking at things, and are not so wrapped up in the complications of things........I watched my sister die, and felt the Holy Spirit and my sister walk right through me.I have never been the same since........I can see Christ in everything around me, as i can see evil in things as well .its a spiritual war going on that we can't see..............I find it hard to understand that we all came from one man and women, but I stand on the faith that I feel inside, its real. Jesus is real........evil is real. doubt is real, as even the disciples had them as the walked with Jesus.........Lord Bless

But on what basis do you assume that every detail of the creation story was intended by God as literal history. Jesus rebukes his disciples for confusing biological death with real death in their interpretations. But literalists make the same mistake when they read Genesis.

Don't forget PreacherJoe that God wants us to understand Him. We believe in Him and accept Him through faith, but we can also understand Him through the Bible and through Creation itself.

Precisely. What is so horrid about thinking that God (assuming He exists) created the universe in an insanely complicated manner, but chose to reveal this to us in a simpler, allegorical version?
