The Golden Rule

[Phred]

Where does it say that in scripture?

It doesn't... here are your choices:

1) The Bible - just one of thousands of books supposedly written at the behest of a deity.

2) The Universe - only one in existence and, if you believe in such things, created directly by a deity.

I was reading from choice #2.

 

[Gipper]

It doesn't...

All the amdission I need.

 

[Phred]

Show me where it says "evloution" in Genesis.

Show me where it says "gravity" in Genesis.

 

[Phred]

All the amdission I need.

To prove what? That it's not in your fairy tale? Then neither is the computer you're typing on... must not exist either.

 

[Gipper]

Show me where it says "gravity" in Genesis.

Gravity is not a plot brought forth to undermine God/s word.

 

[tapero]

When God says he created heaven and earth, it's safe to assume he meant evolution as well.

hi, just to be poetic here,

have you not read, God formed Adam from the dust
and Eve from Adams rib?

and all descendants came from them, that is every one of us are descendents of adam and eve who God did create.

Genesis says that the uvinerse was created 6000 years ago by the hand of God evolution says that the universe is older than that and created by accident it doesnt much to realize that God is right and you are wrong.

 

[HouseApe]

Show me where it says "evloution" in Genesis.

God wanted Genesis to be metaphorical. Evolution is so obvious, God so no reason to put it in.

If its so ovbious why do scientists have to fake there ebidence for it?

 

[Phred]

Hahahhahaha.... oh that's rich.

How would you know? You don't know what evolution is.

Back to the original statement. We share a common ancestor with chimps and bonobos... do they have special knowledge?

You do know that's not true, right?

 

[Phred]

Genesis says that the uvinerse was created 6000 years ago by the hand of God evolution says that the universe is older than that and created by accident it doesnt much to realize that God is right and you are wrong.

Evolution says that the frequency of alleles changes in a population over time. It says nothing about the age of the earth or the universe. Science does however specifically refute the 6,000 year claim of Bishop Ussher. The Bible does NOT make a claim to the age of the earth, that claim is made by man adding up the ages listed in Genesis and making a guess. Since the times listed are using words that could mean anything the age of the universe cannot be discovered from Genesis. Also, since the authors of the book had no way to know the age of the universe their best guesses aren't worth a hill of beans.

I don't know much about what God thinks is right or not... but you're wrong.

 

[NeTrips]

Well, that's certainly true too, but as a practical matter I don't see what can be done about it. I only have the power that I have.

I don't quite follow this. How does Jesus' setting high altruistic examples give people the power to do what He did? I mean, He was God, after all. He didn't even stay dead when they killed Him!

It is written: Mat 22:29

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

As for Jesus giving His followers power, it is written: Luk 10:19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Speak for yourself, my lineage goes back to Noah. If your claim is true, then you'd have to thank my ancestors for caring for and feeding yours all the while keeping them dry.

There was also no global flood. So if you can show your lineage goes back to Noah I'm wondering how you do that? 8 people that suddenly managed to hyperevolve into all the different types of people we see on earth today. From eight came Eskimos and Africans, Asians and Caucasians, Arabs and American Indians, Persians and Egyptians...

It didn't happen because it couldn't happen.

Who created Cain's wife and the people of the land of Nod? The bible doesn't state how God created these people.

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

It is written: Gen 9:7

And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

 

[elman]

Seeing as we evolved from a common ancestor that we share with chimps and bonobos, do they have that knowledge as well?

Nope. He does not seem to have given it to them.

doesn't say;

we know then, that since all is from adam and eve, that other were born, and so..

doesn't go into years or show genealogies of all in the bible.

but we all come from adam and eve.

theres' much not provided us in the bible, but God gave us what we need.

but no denying all came from adam and eve
at least that's what i believe to be true
all are from adam and eve
