• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What is the greatest evidence against the theory of evolution...?

Nope. And I'll bet you can't prove that it does without sounding silly.

Perhaps I'm just simple minded but it would seem to me that if a man claimed to come from God, claimed that he would die and then rise again, and then died and rose again then this would challenge the idea that there is no God who interacts with the natural world. Is that silly?

Evolution says nothing whatsoever about God, God's existence, or God's feelings about the natural world. Whoever told you otherwise lied to you.

You should note that I did not say that the resurrection of Jesus challenges evolution as such. Rather, it challenges (as I said) "the wholesale naturalistic conception of evolution" which would include the assumption that there is no God who interacts with the natural world.

Meh, you've got nothing.
It is you who misses something.
Comparing gravity to evolution...
COME ON !
Step up or shut up.
Tough guy.

You want me to spoon feed you, or will you make a little effort with the braincells yourself?

Let me just ask. If you became convinced that the resurrection of the Jesus found in the Gospels really took place would it make you reconsider naturalistic evolution?

Not here. I'll pull that rabbit out of the hat in some other thread.

Would the mountains of evidence to support evolution disappear, because of a resurrection? I follow the evidence, so the answer is no.

Ok, keep the rabbit to yourself, if need be.

Where does evolution assume there is no God?

Evolution as such does not. But I've always explicitly been referring to "the wholesale naturalistic conception of evolution".

I tend to like the actual scientific theory myself.

When the scientific theory is adjusted to say; there is no God, please let us know.

All I've seen you do so far on this board is spout quips and make fun of people for not understanding what you're talking about.

Present your arguments or just shut up.

The evidence is what it is--nothing points to God having interacted in any way with evolution, so a God who interacts with the world is not relevant.

And the fact you demonstrate above, just irks some folks to no end.

Then you seem to have posted in the wrong thread, since this thread is about evidence against the theory of evolution, not a philosophical concept of evolution.
