Want to learn about evolution? Take a free course

People will believe whatever they wish to, that is something I cannot change, but I will speak out on these topics as they are blasphemous and an abomination to God.

Ok, it is a problem for you then, which requires you to speak out against what other people believe.

What man wrote and last I checked, everything man writes in stories, is either not meant to be taken literal, or it can simply be wrong.

But, with that said, you believe what you like.

The Bible is God's Word that he worked through man to write. It is infallible and is true in every way. Just because it was written by man does not mean it is incorrect or false.

So learning about evolution is nothing more than a waste of time and money.

Well, the course is free and given the amount of time you spend on these forums, I'm not sure "wasting time" is a valid excuse...

I already know evolution runs contrary to my faith.

I said "learning about it". Do you believe that learning about evolution is something that you are not allowed to do as per your Biblical faith?

It's a type of fear you're not familiar with.

It's called THE FEAR OF THE LORD.

So what? Are you afraid God will punish you if you take a science class?

You wouldn't understand.

If you did, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Then explain it better.

Again, your opinion.

Many people and 'christians' believe homosexuality is not a sin, even when it is clearly expressed as such multiple . People believe that playing/watching extremely violent games/movies with lots of nudity and profanity is harmless. I can go on for literally hours, but the point is there are many things people accept as fine or true which goes completely against what is written in the Bible and what is good in God's eyes.

It is not my opinion, it is what is written.

And yet, many people get along just fine in life, while disagreeing with you on your personal interpretation of the bible.

The good news is, you can live your life as you see fit.

 

[bhsmte]

Yep, it is written, lots of stories are written. It doesn't make them literally true, but I understand you really need to believe that.

But it is not my personal interpretation, it is what is factual and inferred from.

 

[pitabread]

No, it really is your personal interpretation. Which is especially evident given the multitude of beliefs based on varying interpretations of the Bible. Yours is merely one of many.

 

[Speedwell]

The fact that it tries to make the marvellous work of God reduced to just 'chance' without any meaning, which it surely fails at.

The theory of evolution does not address the question of meaning. That is what our faith in God is for.

May I also ask what your belief in evolution is?

That it is a plausible explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.

 

[Danoded]

Yep, it is written, lots of stories are written. It doesn't make them literally true, but I understand you really need to believe that.

So you're implying that parts of the Bible have been made up?

But it is God who is responsible for all the animals on Earth, is it not written so in Genesis?

 

[Speedwell]

But it is not my personal interpretation, it is what is factual and inferred from.

And that is your interpretation.

 

[Danoded]

No, it really is your personal interpretation. Which is especially evident given the multitude of beliefs based on varying interpretations of the Bible. Yours is merely one of many.

Yet there is only meant to be one belief, and no denominations, not to mention also that many other beliefs that exist today is the result of satan's work.

Facts can be demonstrate with evidence.

 

[Danoded]

And that is your interpretation.

It cannot be my interpretation if it is explicitly stated in the Bible what is good and what is evil.

 

[bhsmte]

But it is God who is responsible for all the animals on Earth, is it not written so in Genesis?

And you are free to believe that.

That's your opinion.

 

[bhsmte]

If one can not demonstrate with evidence, the bible is literally true (which no one ever has) it comes down to two possibilities; whoever wrote it, didn't mean for it to be literal and or, parts of it were made up for effect.
