Souls and Evolution

[Gracchus]

Does this count as a science textbook?

Amazon.com: The Soul of Science: Christian Faith and Natural Philosophy (Turning Point Christian Worldview Series) (9780891077664): Nancy Pearcey, Marvin Olasky, Charles Thaxton: Books

I wouldn't think so. Her "degrees" are in ... Oh! Wait! There are none listed. She does research at a bible college, where she is apparently a "professor" of "Christian Worldview". I "profess" to be unimpressed.

She also wrote the overview in the book "Of Pandas and People" where the terms "creation/creationisT" were inexpertly and incompletely altered to "intelligent design/design proponent".

It may be a textbook at her bible school, but it has nothing, I think, to do with science.

Has Christianity played a part in scientific discoveries? yes. Does that mean that Christianity is correct? No. After all, a great deal of science was developed by Muslims, but I don't think a Christian would think that makes Islam more true...

What does this have to do with what we're talking about?

Let me say it again: 100% of Atheists accept Evolution.

And backing up even further --- here's my whole point:

Atheists have two doctrines that I know of:

1. Evolution
2. There is no God

How would you know what 100% of atheists believe? You are a Baptist.
There are atheists who don't know enough (or anything) about ToE to believe one way or the other.

Good points -- I'll acquiesce mine --

I dunno, can you re-enter a thread you already /thread? I'll have to check internets etiquette.

I believe that was the second time he did it on this thread.

Getting back to the OP (I know that topic is most likely lost, but what the heck). I created my own "Atheist Doctrine."

1. I accept the fact that I do not believe in any supernatural deities.
a) I also accept the fact that I am not 100% certain, as no one of any faith is 100% certain until death.

2. I accept the fact that all life is related and no life should be harmed without reason or allowed to suffer.

3. I have hope that is not dependent on belief in a deity. I hope that my actions will help make another life happier, put a smile on someone's face, and create a better future for my children and others.

While it is nice, I doubt that 100% of atheists would subscribe to all three points.
