My TE Challenge

[AV1611VET]

Explain Theistic Evolution in light of a literal interpretation of Genesis 1.

 

[Psudopod]

I'm not a TE, but you can't. at least not any way I can see. It's not that TE is wrong, but that a literal interpretation of Genesis doesn't tie in reality.

Why is a literal interpretation of Genesis necessary, again?

Answering that question is a challenge AV will never be able to meet.

TE works, because its practitioners do not have to think too much.

When asked about Genesis and/or creation they can answer “it’s not really true”.

When asked about evolution and humans shared origins with other apes they can answer “it’s not really true”.

Liberalism at its best

Except that TEs will say evolution is true -- the answer is still "goddidit," but at least now it's "Goddidit... not how it was described in the Bible, but according to science."

At least with TEs, religious faith is supplimenting the facts, not superceding them.

TEs get round awkward questions but saying evolution and everything else is right; but stick a caveat onto it GODDONEIT.

In short: It’s all true magical mysticism.

Even shorter: It's a miracle.

Explain Theistic Evolution in light of a literal interpretation of Genesis 1.

Seeing that I am not and neither is any other Christian required to believe the Bible to be literal, your challenge is baseless and your continued attempts to disprove evolution say more about your poor education in science then it does about the validity of evolution.

simple, it was all created last thursday with a history

I don't need challenges to "say more about my poor education in science." I've already admitted that I don't know diddly about science. That's old hat here, my friend --- catch up.

And as I'm fond of saying:

• If I want to disprove evolution, all I need is the first chapter of the Bible.
• If I want to disprove atheism, all I need is the first verse of the Bible.

Right -- we're all just a bunch of dummies. We're not real smart like you.

When asked about Genesis and/or creation they can answer “it’s not really true”.

There are TEs who say that (including TEs who have no regard for Christian and Jewish scriptures, of course), but most don't. You are aware that "not literally true" and "not really true" are different statements, aren't you?

When asked about evolution and humans shared origins with other apes they can answer “it’s not really true”.

What on earth are you talking about? Could you please point to anyplace where I have ever said "It's not really true" about common descent? Don't forget to include my published papers on human evolution, by the way.

Then you need to do yourself a favor. Sit down, shut up, and actually listen to people who know more than you do. Until you do, you will remain what you are now, a joke. A caricature of the man who wallows in ignorance and stupidity.

Explain Theistic Evolution in light of a literal interpretation of Genesis 1.

God Created the Laws of Nature that triggered the evolution proccess. After billions of years, give or take a week, someone decided to write the spiritual realtionship between man and God according the tales that, to that date, were passed by mouth thru generation after generation.

So, this spiritual truth stopped being Oral and became Literal.

My apologies if you think I am referring to individuals are stupid, I am not.

TE is nothing more than a caveat that makes people feel superior to other biota. If we “that is humans” are the best thing a so called all powerful deity can come up with in ~12,000,000,000 years; than she’s not as cleaver as you make out.

Give me a few links to paper, I will read them.

When this becomes Scienceforums.com --- I'll think about it --- for about 1/10 picosecond.

Until you do, you will remain what you are now, a joke. A caricature of the man who wallows in ignorance and stupidity.

LOL --- okay, newbie, thanks for the psychobabble.

FYI --- I'll vouch for ignorance --- stupidity will be up to you to demonstrate.

You do understand that people come here to laugh at you. The foolish little man who freely admits that he rejects reality.

Problem is that when they see a Christian acting like you do, they don't always come away from it seeing you as an anomaly. They start to see all Christians as ignorant little people who reject reality.

Do yourself and the all Christians a favor, take a remedial biology class and actually try to learn something. If you can't do that, don't get involved in debates about a subject (Science) that you reject.
