Rep. Paul Broun: Evolution a "Lie" From the Pit of Hell

[RedDead1981]

The part where it's a satanic lie used to battle scripture.

I guess one day one of us will be proven wrong...I will stick with God on this.

What part of that is false?

Evolution is a scientific theory with confimed predictions that fundamentally underpins most of biology. There's no lie, let alone any satanic ones. And the earth is not 9000 years old. If you say it is and tie Christianity to this claim, you're going to turn away anyone with a basic understanding of science.

I guess I'm sticking with Satan. At least his account is backed up by mountains of scientific evidence

What makes you think they were heading for Christianity in the first place? Somebody needs to be heading toward something before they can be driven away.

Christianity is not like the salad bar at Bonanza. You don't get to pick which parts you like and which parts you don't. You either accept all of it or you walk away like the Rich Young Ruler.

Instant ridicule...that's what not surprising. I for one am proud to see a Christian stand up for the literal truths of the Bible.

Yes, it's hard to sift through the Bible with ALL of it's literal truths on Embryology and physics.

The House Committee on Science, Space and Technology is not the place to "stand up for the literal truths of the Bible."

There's evidence waiting for you in the other thread on this subject. Why haven't you addressed it yet?

You can discern which parts are myth, which metaphor, and which literal. Of course you can. You have to.

MOD HAT ON

Stick to the subject. This is not General Apologetics.

MOD HAT OFF

I think it's pretty worrying how a man on the science committee can possibly speak such nonsense. And he's a medical doctor? Considering that a great deal of medicine has its roots in evolution, I'm willing to bet he can't honestly believe what he's saying.

All we now need is a flat earther and someone who rejects germ theory in favor of 'demons cause illnesses' and we will have a full set.

Rest assured, there's a GOP legislator out there for Flat Earth.

Something like this?

Because I tried to address it for several pages and none of you would. All you kept doing was making the same accusations over and over, as if repeating them would make them true.

You had your chance and you failed. After a while, it becomes a situation described in a certain verse in Proverbs, which I will not name because the moderators consider the invocation of this particular verse against the atheists here to be flaming, a situation in which we are told to walk away.

I realize you're going to try to goad me and mock me, but I can tell you right now that it won't work.

I addressed a number of your posts on the 9th, and addressed Broun's exact words a little ofter midnight CDT on the 10th.

Did you miss those messages when you posted this one?

Every part. It's absolutely ignorant.

 

[Supreme]

Exactly. I think we as Christians really need to embrace evolution and science, and disregard this nonsensical Middle Aged thinking that rejects science. It doesn't exactly endear Christianity to non-believers, and won't do us much good when evangelizing.

 

[mpok1519]

It's like people don't respect the fact that God gave us a brain for a reason.

 

[rambot]

How long did it take science to get the church to abandon geocentrism? I wonder if we should expect the same kinda time line with evolution?
