The concept of those things can be found in scripture, just not those specific labels. The concepts you've been trying to claim aren't in the Bible at all.You mean like "trinity" or "rapture"?
But that's not a distinction you can make in good faith or honesty.
Really?
Ever heard of the "gift of knowledge"?
Not everyone is given it.
Some are called by God into the pulpit.
Some are called by God into the mission field.
Some are called by God into the laboratory.
We've been over this before too. If you have a better way to do science, then do it! Show everyone how your way gets better results and the world will beat a path to your door.That's because science is myopic.
(They just don't know it.)
Pairing that data with the number of Christians in those countries shows that most Christians don't share your "science can take a hike" views.
Plus, large denominations like Catholics and Orthodox Christians have publicly stated that there's no conflict between the two.
It's more of what he and I talked about yesterday (everyone who disagrees with him has to be wrong).But that's not a distinction you can make in good faith or honesty.

I think you may have missed the point. Most Christians, including two of the largest Christian denominations, don't share your "science can take a hike" belief and have no problem reconciling the findings of science with Christianity.And what are those views?
Can you name all six of them?
And aren't you the one who wants me to add a seventh?
You say "most Christians don't share my views."
I say "most Christians don't KNOW my views."
Let alone share them.
Let's put it this way:
There SHOULDN'T be any conflict between them.
Not in concept or in any way whatsoever.Not by name.
There's nothing in scripture that even hints at what you tried to claim. There is lots in scripture that describes the Trinity even though that specific term isn't used.If you're going to critique me for "evolution" not being in the Bible, then don't tell me the trinity is in the Bible either.
But it's still not a distinction you can make in good faith or honesty.
You don't know everyone nor their hearts and minds.
Only God can do that.
You're just a man.
A man with a massive chip on his shoulder.
And you can?
I can know them by their fruits, can't I?
Their speech bewrayeth them.
Am I an animal as well?
Like Adam was?
A mutant copy error, made in the image and likeness of God?
You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?

Then your criticisms are hollow.I don't know a better way.
Those are your unique beliefs, yes. Not all Christians agree.Science is myopic because God has placed a veil over our eyes.
But Satan uses his infrastructure (the Muses) to outright blind them to the ability to be able to meld what little facts they do have with the Truth.
Because they dare disagree with you?And those two largest denominations (whichever you had in mind) are shipwrecked, aren't they?
No.Are you familiar with the term: psychoheresy?
We've come full circle now, and you're still mixing up "the Bible" with "my interpretations".Well here they are again, for your edification:
1. Bible says x, Science says x = go with x
2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x
3. Bible says x, Science says ø = go with x
4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own
Prime Directive: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the Bible to be contradicted.
The fact that it's just not there.Too hard to see?
Is something getting in the way?
Not even close to the same thing.Bingo.
Now apply that mindset to macroevolution.

I'm an atheist.Is that what you yourself believe? Do you believe in a Creator God?
Wrong interrogative pronoun. It should be 'what'.I'm a bit confused because you will address the development of knowledge in man, but still avoid addressing the fact that it all pre-existed prior to man's perception of it. Who set all that, including the whole creation and the laws governing it, into motion and ready and waiting for man to discover?
Everything existed before anyone's perception of it.Gravity pre-existed Newton's perception of it, no?
I don't usually talk to people I don't think exist. I leave that to others.Don't wait on me. Ask Him yourself! He's eagerly waiting for us all to seek wisdom from Him out of gratitude for what He has done for us.
Faith.How do I know?
Apparently not in your case. Let me know if you need that reading list. I feel I have an unfair advantage.Give Him another shot. The amassing of head knowledge doesn't quite fulfill all of our desires, does it?
Here's another one, AV...Is that how you read my post?
God warns us not to take His creation the wrong way, or it will end up with the person denying Him.
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Embracing evolution to the point that we are all Homo sapiens (wise men) can end up a person saying in his heart, "There is no God."
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Academia can spoil you, if you buy into her:
1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
- philosophers
- empty arguments
- men's traditions
- the periodic table of the elements (reducing everything down to chemical reactions)
Giving heed to endless genealogies (macroevolution):
Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
- generates questions after questions after questions (ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth)
- prevents God from being edified through faith
Here, the wisest secular man on earth, under inspiration of the Holy Ghost, points out that evolution is an "invention."
That is, not a "discovery," like academia teaches.
