You don't know which scientific theories have helped provide the conveniences you enjoy everyday of your life? Have you ever bothered to think about that? Review the list of daily conveniences I provided for you before. Everyone one of those works, because of some scientific theory that allowed increased understanding of how nature works and to allow technologies to advance.

I assume when you are sick, you seek the care of a physician and or you do the same for your kids, if you have them. Next time you go to see a physician, why don't you ask them whether they agree with evolutionary theory and what role the theory has had in improving medical science? Ask them about germ theory and whether that concept has helped them to treat certain infections and increase quality of life.

Fair enough. However, we may differ on "evolutionary" anything.

Religion has those same limitations, and it has the added problem of ignoring inconvenient evidence while holding onto dogmatic positions.

You are entitled to your opinion.




That seems preferable to inventing a story and never changing it, no matter what evidence is found.

How does this fact impact how you rely on the bible?

You DO realize that the men inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Bible were limited, but God ISN'T, right?

Well in case ya' haven't guessed, i don't give credence to the theory of evolution.

Yea, still don't understand what "evolutionary" everything mean?

And if you don't give any credence to this theory, does it bother you to go to a physician that gives a great deal of credence to it and some of what they have learned of advances in medical science are based on the theory?

i would wonder if this physician is really as smart as he thinks he is....

I know the claim God isn't limited, but you acknowledged, the man who wrote the stories, were limited.

I mean, God didn't even protect the original scripture, it is long lost and only copies starting hundreds of years later are available, which are written by these limited men and many of them are actually anonymous men.

You certainly are entitled to your opinion. And yes, EVERYONE that is a child of the Most High God is "limited." It is written that in our weakness, God's power is more manifested. For it is clearly HIS power that is evidenced, and not ours.

The fact that the process of evolution has given man a way to explain (to some degree) life without God does not mean that evolution as defined as genetic change in a population does not happen. Materialists just have placed their belief on a natural process (the Created) rather than on the Creator.

Amen. What some call "evolution" is nothing more than changes within His and Their kinds. Evolutionists have gone way beyond changes within kinds and entered the realm of Religion by falsely teaching that Humans (descendants of Adam) evolved from prehistoric people. The sons of God (prehistoric people) changed into Humans (descendants of Adam) AFTER Noah's grandsons married and produced today's Humans with the prehistoric people who were already here when the Ark arrived. Gen 6:4

Yes. Amen.

I do not believe in Bible discrepancy, only lack of divine insight.

I have always been drawn to Genesis for some reason. I believe it holds within it all the truths of God incorporated throughout the Bible.

thanks for enlightening me a bit more.

What I find extremely interesting about Genesis chapter 1 is that it is an outline of the first 6 Days/Ages of the Creation...including Future events which will NOT take place until AFTER Jesus returns to this Planet and changes ALL creatures into vegetarians. Gen 1:30 After that God, Who sees the end from the beginning will finally say, It is very good. Gen 1:31

God tells us the complete HISTORY of the Creation in the first 34 verses of Scripture and ALL of the rest of the Bible refers BACK to one of the 7 Days of the Creation of the perfect 3rd Heaven. That's God's Truth. God Bless you

Francis Collins: The evidence is overwhelming. And it is becoming more and more robust down to the details almost by the day, especially because we have this ability now to use the study of DNA as a digital record of the way Darwin’s theory has played out over the course of long periods of time.

Darwin could hardly have imagined that there would turn out to be such strong proof of his theory because he didn’t know about DNA - but we have that information. I would say we are as solid in claiming the truth of evolution as we are in claiming the truth of the germ theory. It is so profoundly well-documented in multiple different perspectives, all of which give you a consistent view with enormous explanatory power that make it the central core of biology. Trying to do biology without evolution would be like trying to do physics without mathematics

http://biologos.org/blog/francis-collins-and-karl-giberson-talk-about-evolution-and-the-church-2

The Theory of Evolution is provably wrong because it FAILS to realize that Humans (descendants of Adam) did NOT have our origin on Planet Earth. Adam's Earth was totally destroyed in the Flood leaving Evolutionists in God's Snare because they have REJECTED the story of the Flood written in Genesis. ll Peter 3:3-7

The biggest Satanic Lie in the History of Human civilization has been forced upon our children for more than 50 years now in the Public Schools. Genesis 6:4 explains HOW the DNA was placed inside our blood by the sons of God (prehistoric people) who were already here and had been for Millions of years when the Ark arrived. Want empirical Historic evidence? Amen?

what I know for sure there is no difference in A Desoto stealing the real property of people here for his King and church.
than all you atheist stealing the intellectual property and patentable property of people that you don't know what they believed in in all ages ! but what WE KNOW FOR SURE NONE OF IT IS YOURS TO CLAIM !
All I can bet on is that it wasn't any of your property to claim for your religion or your philosophies or whatever it is you think you can speak for and have any sort of rights to be part of "it" .
you have no rights to pee on that property or to plant your flap in that property or claim it for your king and church.
your just another batch of thieves with new suits and new armor but the same old tactics . aint nothing new under this sun.

and when it is weighed in His scales I guarantee scientism and farting with nature and drugs created will have more death lies and misery and than ever did any good.
