Two Part Question: "Who?" and "How?"

[BenDare]

The Creationist- Science argument yells from two different assumptions, and the defenders do not listen to one another. Christians accept as fact the first four words of Genesis. Some other people ignore God.
The Bible does not give all the details. It does not tell us HOW God did all that He did. It does indicate that man was a special order of created beings. God did leave some clues in the rocks He made. Let's not ignore these. Instant miracles are not God's usual method. MIGHT He have used a process such as evolution in preparing the planet for us?

I belive not. God created everything, and saw it was good. There was absolutly no need for evolution. If God says itwas good, then it was ready for man.

Evolution is completely un-biblical. I belive in the Bible, and the Bible says God created everything the way it is. No need for something like evolution.

The Bible gives an accurate accounting of the history of the world from the first day of man to about the end of the 1st century AD. The Bishop Ussher, using only the Biblical recounting of history, determined the origin of the world to have taken place in October 4004 BC.

That means the world is 6000 years old, or at least man. Evolution claims that modern men have existed for tens of thousands of years AT LEAST. So even if you were to try to play a "doesn't tell us how" game, the fact of the matter is that Biblically human development COULD NOT have occurred in an evolutionary matter, even if we discount the literal passage of Adam's creation from the earth by God.

I think that "Creavolution" is one of the most hurtful doctrines of the "new" movements within Christianity. In believing that we MUST accept this sort of scientific malarkey, you are inherently giving credence to the Word of Man over the Word of God, which is the highest blasphemy. It is this sort of thinking that is destroying the modern Christian church for our young people.

Never mind.

Never mind.

Amazing, isn't it?

This is the kind of blind faith that makes us ignorant.

Why do you suppose that so many Christian colleges feature evolution prominently in their biology curriculum? Baylor, Wheaton College, Notre Dame, Boston College -- just to name a few.

I thought we had run all the true-blue creationists out of this forum (except for dad, of course)?

Yeah 2 in the same thread!!! Not to mention a TE. Nice one!

Because they are attempting to compete with the secular realm, and are willing to give up the basic fundamentals of their faith in order to do so.

One of them isn't even allowed to be a Christian on this board because of the fascists that run this web site.

 

[GoSeminoles!]

Would you consider them to be true Christians? Do you see any way for a person to accept evolution and be a good Christian?

 

[Donkeytron]

You might want to step back for a second. Most christians don't consider a literal bible to be a "basic fundamental" of their faith.

Since when is anti-evolution and anti-science a fundamental of christian faith?

Since they became sure-fire ways to raise money from scientifically illiterate congregations.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to GoSeminoles! again.

No such problem for me, though it's probably less than he deserved

 

[BenDare]

Wow! I didn't mean to start a fight. I had hoped to start some thinking. When we polarize ourselves we seem more interested in defending our own little fort at any cost.
I believe the Bible. It does not give many details. Reading things INTO the Bible is close to blasphemy. Our Creator left us with a puzzle and gave us the brains to (reverently) figure it out. Just because some people jump to their own confusions, should Christians avoid such a challenge?

No need for something like evolution.

Yeah, no reason to arrive at the conclusion of evolution. Except for the evidence. Whatever.
