Evolution is true. We observe it. Just as reproduction is true. God made us like that. As for the rest of the fable, relax. No one will ever find out it is true.
You said "Believers have the mind of Christ".
Dad, your credibility in denying evolution might increase if you show that you understand what the word actually means.
Science makes no statement about it one way or the other.
What you call a "fantasy world" is made up of a number of unrelated scientific disciplines. You can call them "fantasies" if you want but lumping them all together and and calling them all the theory of evolution just makes your position seem ignorant and childish.
I don't think you mean "godless," I think you just mean that they don't agree with your shallow reading of Genesis.
It's not even that. If evolution is true it doesn't even mean that his religion is harmed. All that is harmed is the feeling of superiority to other Christians that his Fundamentalist beliefs give him.
Evolution is true, and the theory of evolution explains how it happens. Why do you have to make it any more difficult than that? Why keep adding strawmen to ToE?
What's this "rest of the fable"?
? Why would anyone deny evolution does occur today? Your credibility might improve if you did not try to use that to mean that the fable of the evolution of life. (that evolving is why all life exists and where we came from)
The creation story of the BB itself is the statement!
Usually people talk about evolution and what they mean is how life on earth was not created directly by God as genesis states, but that little worms and whatnots evolved into man and all animals. Looking at that from the outside at a distance, one can see that it is a story about origins of life that is not inspired by God to say it mildly. We can also look at the stories about where the universe came from and see the same underlying methods and outcomes.
I'll pass on that one in this forum, as there is a hypersensitivity among some mods on the issue.
Anything more than the observation of current evolving today, in this nature.
What's with the strawman? ToE explains how change happens. That's all it does. There is no end goal of explaining why a particular lifeform exists.
Hey maybe a medicine man might explain where we came from also. Maybe a lot of religions do that too. The issue is not whether someone can use beliefs to come up with some so-called explanation.
No. That is not all it does. It offers itself as science and fact.
The problem is not in any particular lifeform. The problem is that they say evoutiondunnit rather than creation for all life.
Special pleading. All you do is "use beliefs to come up with some so-called explanation", but you want to claim your argument is not subject to that same restriction.
No, it really doesn't. That's yet another of your strawmen.
And here you want to eat your cake and still have it. You want creation to have brought about all life, but at the same time you pretend to accept evolution. The bad news for you is that it doesn't work like that - you cannot reasonably espouse mutually contradictory explanations for the same thing without some incredible denial and mental gymnastics.
Nothing special about picking one belief or another from a pile of beliefs. What would be special is if you had any proof or evidence.
Have you some reason that creation would not result is creatures with adaptive ability? You just want to run wild with godless speculation using that ability and credit IT with creation!
Good news for me, not your position. It is reasonable to assume that God created us with the ability to adapt to the various things we would encounter when doing what He commanded. Namely, to fill to multiply and fill the world. How could a fish do that if some areas were land and water? How could man live in sunny places unless his skin could adapt..etc?
Don't you ever get bored spouting the same nonsense, post after post, thread after thread when, in every thread, you are shown how erroneous your claims are?
