Then there is no evidence. 'Faith', by its very nature, exists regardless of evidence. Read your bible, it plainly says so.
If that's all you have underpinning your particular creation story, then it holds no more truth than the 40 or 50 others that mankind has invented throughout history...
You still do not seem to understand what faith is. Faith is not trust. When you love someone they have almost always earned that trust. When people love someone without valid reasons, and that happens quite often for the emotionally immature, they are surprised and hurt when their "love" betrays them.Cheers for reply.
Then this is a question of faith. Lets look at the validity of faith.
Have you not experienced faith being rewarded in your life in some form?
For instance. Trust and hope in someone - love?
What form of evidence would make you believe there is a God?
That all evolutionary biologists are atheists is just another example of creationists' head in the sand, "say it enough times and that will make it true," nonsense.
Then you must have an answer to this question:You bring up a valid point.
A recurring theme with some people around here is - if you accept evolution, you're an atheist. Also, if you're not a Christian, you're an atheist. Of course, this flies in the face of reality, and shows their confusion on the topic.
Speak for yourself.Then there is no evidence. 'Faith', by its very nature, exists regardless of evidence. Read your bible, it plainly says so.
So Kenny'sID, why do you think common descent makes accurate predictions and special creation doesn't?
Then you must have an answer to this question:
Why would a theist (a supernaturalist) subscribe to naturalistic (atheistic) ideas?
Show me how you can provide "proof positive" for any theory in science...!
In science, there is nothing "more than" a theory...
I said naturalistic.Theists subscribe to natural ideas all the time.
Great cheap shot based on a misquote.Or do you still believe that lightning is the result of an angry god chucking bolts of electricity from the heavens?
Why don't you read it again and try to answer the question.Also, keep in mind that 'natural' and 'atheistic' (in terms of metaphysical atheism) aren't quite the same thing.
Great cheap shot based on a misquote.
Apparently you don't appreciate the difference between the natural sciences which are applicable to our natural reality, and pursuing answers about the origins and facilitation of our natural reality.Why don't you read it again and try to answer the question.
They may not realise, just like you apparently, that it's naturalism, see the definition.It wasn't so much intended as a 'cheap shot' as a simple fact that theists subscribe to natural ideas, including biological evolution.
They may not realise, just like you apparently, that it's naturalism, see the definition.
They just think it's science, without that presupposition behind it.
are you agree that evolution is basically a natural process?You appear to be conflating methodological naturalism with metaphysical naturalism (or metaphysical atheism). They aren't the same thing.
Evolution no more requires one to become an atheist than plate tectonics.
