This is a thread that discusses Creationism verses Evolutionism, and would invite responses that you can report.No, there are countless Christians that do not believe that part of the Bible. That is only a minority of Christians today. One cannot both claim that and claim that Christianity is the number one religion in the world.
Probably over a billion Christians do not take the Adam and Eve story literally. It is a hard statistic to check.That statement is actually a violation of forum rules. The assertion that it is necessary for a Christian to subscribe to a literal reading of the Genesis creation stories effectively denies the faith of millions of Christians worldwide and is forbidden here.
Do you mean support? That can be roughly supported. It is hard to put a hard number on it. Creationism is mostly an American problem, though there are some believers all around the world.This is a thread that discusses Creationism verses Evolutionism, and would invite responses that you can report.
And there are many who do take it literally but do not insist that such a belief is necessary for salvation.Probably over a billion Christians do not take the Adam and Eve story literally. It is a hard statistic to check.
I don't have to discuss Christianity at all. All I have to do is repeat my request for proof that the evolutionary process is scientific according to the scientific method.It does relate to the evolution=atheism issue, which s frequently discussed in this forum.
But you don't even understand the scientific method and refuse to discuss the concept. How would you recognize such "proof" when it was given to you?I don't have to discuss Christianity at all. All I have to do is repeat my request for proof that the evolutionary process is scientific according to the scientific method.
But I have never made a statement like that in any of my posts in this thread. All I have done is to ask questions to provide proof by the scientific method that the evolutionary process is actually scientific. I have not said that evolution is not true. You have just assumed that from my questions.That statement is actually a violation of forum rules, not just a hijacking. The assertion that it is necessary for a Christian to subscribe to a literal reading of the Genesis creation stories effectively denies the faith of millions of Christians worldwide and is forbidden here.

If you understood the scientific method, you'd know that it doesn't provide "proof".
Worded better than when I pointed out that error. I hope it makes an impression.

You are defining Christianity is such a way as to exclude millions of devout Christians.A Christian believes that there was a real Adam and Eve.
But you don't even understand the scientific method and refuse to discuss the concept. How would you recognize such "proof" when it was given to you?
Here is the scientific method:
The scientific method
At the core of biology and other sciences lies a problem-solving approach called the scientific method. The scientific method has five basic steps, plus one feedback step:
The scientific method is used in all sciences—including chemistry, physics, geology, and psychology. The scientists in these fields ask different questions and perform different tests. However, they use the same core approach to find answers that are logical and supported by evidence.
- Make an observation. Where are the actual observations of the evolutionary process?
- Ask a question. How can the question be asked if there is no observation of the process?
- Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation. The evolutionary process cannot be tested so a hypothesis cannot be form.
- Make a prediction based on the hypothesis. A prediction cannot be based on the above, so it can be only based on a guess about the probability that it might have happened that way.
- Test the prediction. The prediction cannot be tested because there is nothing to test it on but a guess.
- Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions. The results then is that the evolutionary process cannot be proved by the scientific method.
So, what other method can be used to prove that evolution is a science?
Also flaming and insulting members in the way you people have done to me on this thread is also forbidden by the forum rules. Also, by insulting and flaming me for being a Christian is flaming Christian faith, and this is also forbidden according to the forum rules. It is only by the grace exercised by Christian believers that you people have not been repeatedly reported and warned for flaming Christians and ridiculing their faith.That statement is actually a violation of forum rules, not just a hijacking. The assertion that it is necessary for a Christian to subscribe to a literal reading of the Genesis creation stories effectively denies the faith of millions of Christians worldwide and is forbidden here.
I think that you have been corrected. I don't think that they has been any flaming aimed at you. In fact everyone has assumed that you are able to learn.Also flaming and insulting members in the way you people have done to me on this thread is also forbidden by the forum rules. Also, by insulting and flaming me for being a Christian is flaming Christian faith, and this is also forbidden according to the forum rules. It is only by the grace exercised by Christian believers that you people have not been repeatedly reported and warned for flaming Christians and ridiculing their faith.
You will see by my other post on the thread that I analysed the evolutionary process in terms of the scientific method and came to the most logical conclusion about it.If you understood the scientific method, you'd know that it doesn't provide "proof".
I'll answer that on the other forum thread.You said,
