What *specfic* part of the 10 commandments is undermined by evolution?

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
I'm not seeing any commandments.
I didn't post one.

Instead, I posted the part you were looking for.
Hans Blaster said:
Is this part of the filler between commandments?
This tells me you're really not interested in learning; but here to ridicule.

God - ie. Jesus, is The Author and Perfecter of 'our' faith (being etc.)

Are you in or are you out?

Choose this day who you will serve, as for me and my house, we will serve The Lord...
I have, but it's really none of your business.

Do you mean The Bible?
Familiar with it as A Book of text? who isn't? Its the best selling Book of all time.
Read it thoughtfully? Don't believe that for a second.
Why not? some of us are Christians who have put a lot of effort into it. Of the individuals who regularly post here, even including the atheists, I would say that the creationists, on the whole know the least about the Bible. There is really more to it than just parroting proof-texts.

Definitely the least about science

That doesn't mean a little child can't look a scientist in the eyes and tell him he's wrong.

As long as the child doesn't mind being wrong.

The Christian forum is right here, but you're using it, may I ask why?
There are a number of reasons I post here, one of which is to help with getting the science right. It's a waste of everyone's time when they try to argue against misinterpretations or misunderstandings of science.

Don't get me wrong, FB, but I'm glad you -- and people like you -- are here to challenge our beliefs.

And I would like to hope that you learn things as well.

I've learned a great deal of science through reading prompted by these forums, and a lot about human psychology, particularly in respect of beliefs and belief systems ;)

If your faith and your Lord are nothing but Creationism, I'm happily "out."

Would you be more comfortable on a science forum?
Christians tend to follow God's word first and foremost, although you may come across a few Thestic evolutionists on a Christian forum. I tend to comment on these threads, because creation (YEC) was divinely revealed to me. I'm so passionate about it, that i believe that I need to share it.
Sometimes though, we just need to disagree, agreeably :)

This is a science forum.

Discussion and Debate/Physical and Life Sciences/Creation & Evolution

See?

Christians tend to follow God's word first and foremost, although you may come across a few Thestic evolutionists on a Christian forum.

And since those Theistic evolutionists are every bit as Christian as you are, we find discussion and debate with them interesting and constructive.

I tend to comment on these threads, because creation (YEC) was divinely revealed to me. I'm so passionate about it, that i believe that I need to share it.

Well then, you've shared it; we've laughed at it; everybody wins.

...or are you looking to do more than just "share"?

Sometimes though, we just need to disagree, agreeably :)

Obviously indeed -- of all the things God could have chosen to reveal to you directly, literal 6-day creationism seems like a raw deal, IMHO.

I mean, seriously? World peace, cure for Cancer, nah.... This is what matters!

This is a science forum - the clue is in the title: 'Physical & Life Sciences'

In my experience, Christians tend to say they 'follow God's word first and foremost', but for the most part behave little different from anyone else.

But sure, as an atheist, I obviously disagree with all theists on the existence of a god or gods, and they disagree with me. That's not usually a problem per se, but some here find it hard to have an agreeable & honest discussion with someone with a wholly different worldview.

This is a science forum -
Last time I looked, it was Christianforums.com. Do you mean, a couple of science threads within the site? There's a lot more to see and learn on here you know. Peel the onion.
