I only believe in evolution to a limited extent, but I see a second Sodom and Gomorrah arising if the western world doesn't change its ways.Hello,
For those who believe in evolution I wondered what you believe we are currently evolving into?
Thanks
So the 160 years of overwhelming evidence is just a scam by those godless heathens, right?
It's just a theory. It has never been substantively proved by conclusive evidence. Even Darwin himself in later life said it was "the unborn ideas of a young man." There is no "overwhelming evidence" just one more theory built upon another. There is more actual evidence for creation than evolution, but because men choose to reject God as the designer and creator, they have to come up with an alternative set of theories that leave God out of the equation. If they were to accept creation, then they would have to accept that there was a Designer, and He would have been the God of the Bible. Then they might have to accept that what the Bible says about Him is true, and then they might have to accept that the Gospel of Christ is true and that they are hopeless sinners needing a Saviour.
Actually what is happening is that our society is de-evolving. It is rapidly degenerating into godless paganism. All you have to do is to read the newspaper, and walk down the main street of most cities and you will see the godless heathenism in the form of prostitution, homosexuality, murder of unborn babies, robberies, school shootings, terrorist attacks, Muslim mosques and Hindu temples springing up all over the place, false cults increasing, greedy employers raking off the cash while their workers live in poverty. When was the last time you were able to walk down the main street of your city at 2:00am and feel safe? (unless you live in a town where there are more godly folk than godless). When was the last time you were able to leave your home without setting the burglar alarm and leaving the front door unlocked? How many faithful Christian teachers have been fired from the jobs because they refused to teach evolution? So who are the heathen then? Could it be the ones who fired these godly Christian teachers? To be honest, isn't it quite easy to believe that our Western society is turning more and more into a godless heathen one every day? I do.
Well, lets see. We have homologous structures that show common descent, that's some evidence. And in science a 'theory' is used differently than it would be in everyday conversation. In science, a theory is a statement that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experimentation. And, we have seen a bacteria cell and its descendants evolve in a lab.
And other people believing in a different religion than you do is a problem?
Myself, I don't take the Bible literally, I take a bit more of a contextualist approach to it. Everything just seems to make more sense that way.
Not a problem for me. People have the right to choose their path in life and what they want to believe in - and to accept the consequences of their choice.
I was referring to Micro evolution with the germ tidbit, but to be fair, I didn't really specify that. And observation and experimentation don't have to be direct. For example, no one alive right now has seen Jesus Christ, yet we know He is real.
