  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What I can say is that the biblical record doesn't support the psudo-science of evolutionism.

Frankly -57, I could care less whether you or anyone accepts or rejects the theory of evolution (ToE). What concerns me is that the rejection of it is based on the wrong reasons. For example, you call it pseudoscience. That tells me you know very little about the physical sciences and how it comes about its understanding and conclusions, much less ToE. Otherwise you would be able to tell me why you reject it citing "legitimate" scientific facts.

Nor can you make the bible say what you want it to say...but the Theo-Evo crowd sure does try.

Seems many Christians get the bible to say what they want it to say, since there are so many denominations and different interpretations.

Your interpretation is the right one though, correct?

I've already mentioned the video presented in the OP. Why did you disregard it?

I'm not claiming a 100% correct interpretation.

You agree though, that Christians interpret scripture in many different ways?

I wonder why creationists put so much energy into trying to rubbish Evolution. It must be themselves they are trying to convince, because they are convincing nobody else.

It is all about protection. For those who believe in biblical creationism, it is far to painful, to acknowledge evidence that contradicts this belief, so they have no choice but to do whatever is necessary, to deny and or claim those who believe in evolution, are being led by evil.

Very robust defense mechanisms, are interesting to watch in action.

As I said....My guess, atheistic evolutionist give out the nobel prize. As I said it was a guess and made tounge in cheek. I'm not going to debate percentages as this thread is not about that.

To get back on topic...Its video's such as what Grandpa posted that will cause the downfall of evolutionism. There is no way a process using chance mutations could do what the video presents.

You didn't pay much attention in your biology classes, mister.

That is not true. My own denomination has published public statement stating that it has no problem with ToE in 1969. I have seen others as well for the Methodists and Catholics. Furthermore, atheism is an individual personal preference. It has nothing to do with being against any religion or supporting science.

That's the same with us. I hadn't known that but I asked my mom & she said that we have an official statement about it. It's never been talked about at church. For the same reason we don't need to convince folks the earth isn't flat, lol.

Forcing evolutionism into the bible changes the bible especially concerning the reason as to why Jesus died. Some so-called christians change it to the point that its not christianity anymore.

Is it your position, if someone agrees with evolution, they can not be a Christian?

Then perhaps you paid enough attention in class you can explain how the processses presented in the video evolved.

Lol. Are you willing to learn anything about it anyway? I mean legit learn. I mean really if I give you a nice long detailed response are you just gonna say "nope! can't be cause this is what I think the Bible says & so you're wrong."

That just a bunch of baloney, mister. If you're pinning your Christianity on that then you've totally missed the whole entire point of Jesus.

Ok.

Then that would mean, some Christians can agree with evolution and others can't?

Can you explain who can agree with evolution and who can't?

For many christians it's what they have been taught and have believed the lie.
For others they deny the biblical truth that sin and death spread via one man because of disobedience as opposed to the evolution of a sin nature via a so-called natural process.
