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.
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.
Were the men who wrote the Bible limited as well?
What does "evolutionary" anything mean?
How does this fact impact how you rely on the bible?
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?
You DO realize that the men inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Bible were limited, but God ISN'T, right?
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.
Interesting response to my post. Thanks for posting it.
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.
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.
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

when the first single cell organism split to form 2 single cell organisms.
I love that the creator creating things that then create things.... awesome isn't it?
