that is a redundent statement and means nothing as i have addressed this already.
It is important to remember that God created a real world and that it is also his revelation. It happens that this is the revelation science chooses to study.
it doesn't address the fact that science is not following God, nor looking to God for the answers they seek. they omit Him to find alternatives to God's word.
But these are not facts. They are just your prejudices.
Scientists are looking at what God created. Does what God created stand in contradiction to the the very Word by which it was created? That is hardly a tenable position.
in one sense you are right--most secular scientists acept evolution BUT that doesn'tmean it exists or it is responsible for what we see in the world.
Whether evolution exists is not a matter of any authoritative pronouncement, but of how God created the world. Since God created life that evolves, then it is no surprise if scientists find that life evolves. Evolution is concluded from the evidence provided in God's creation.
the other sense you are wrong. if one is a believer they cannot follow that which is not of God no matter the field they are in. if they do then they are hypocirtes and sin.
Agreed. A believer does not follow that which is not of God.
evolution does not exist, it does not exist no matter how loudly the secular world cries and whines.
The same can be said in reverse. No matter how much you cry and whine, evolution does exist. Playing a "Yes it does, no it doesn't" game is for children.
read the book. sorry you are wrong on that. the book shows you why.
I may read the book one day, but I have at least two years worth of reading on my list now without adding more.
AT NO TIME DOES HE SAY TO FOLLOW SCIENCE, THE SECULAR WORLD OR THEIR THINKING.please show me a scripture where he says to follow evolutionary thinking and not Him.
And at no time does scripture say it is wrong to study creation scientifically. Scripture says nothing about evolution. It does not say evolution is contrary to God's Word. Since evolution is part of creation, it is hard to say how it could be contrary to God's Word. After all it was created by God's Word.
gluadys said:
Your assessment that evolution is not true is what I question
then you question God and the Bible for nowhere do either state evolution exists,or was used by God in lieu of His own power and creating by His spoken word.
Excuse me. I didn't know that you claimed to be God.
all the creation scriptures deny evolution.
Creation does not deny evolution as any study of creation shows. Are you claiming that creation contradicts scripture?
so?? that proves that evolution does not exist and shows it has no divine origins.
Newton's imagination was stimulated by a falling apple (so the legend goes) and the result was his formulation of the law of gravity. So the origin of the law of gravity in human imagination proves that gravity does not exist, eh?
Or how about the imagination that led Watt to devise a steam engine. I suppose that means steam engines don't exist either.
Not too long ago a foolish woman imagined a great absurdity: that women could study medicine and become doctors. I guess women doctors don't exist.
science has no authority to change that. we are not to see things differently than what God has said. we are to believe God.
Agreed. But remember what God has said in creation as well as what God has conveyed in scripture. Science listens very attentively to the voice of creation. And it believes the evidence provided in creation.
Do you believe that creation contradicts scripture?
where? prove it. using contextual scriptures and other credible sources, references and links.
The key text of course is John 1:1-3 where the Word is identified as Creator.
"All things came into being through him and without him not one thing came into being."
All of nature has its roots in the divine Word which made it. That, of course, includes evolution.
Other supportive scriptures: Colossians 1:16 reaffirms Christ (the Word) as the creator of all things and the agent in whom, through whom and for whom all things were created.
All texts in Genesis 1 which show creation as a consequence of God speaking also root nature in the Word of God.
Paul in his letter to the Romans points to created nature as a witness to God, as we would expect since it comes from God. (Romans 3:20).
Proverbs 3:19-20 and 8:22-30 are also pertinent, for the Greek term Logos, usually translated Word, includes the concept of the wisdom, study and reason expressed in the Word and not just the mere speaking of the Word. (That is why so many fields of study end in the suffix "-ology" from "logos"=study)
The Logos is the expression of the mind of God, or, as the writer to the Hebrews puts it "the express image of his person, upholding all things by the word of his power".
I think there is little doubt that the created world in all its aspects, including evolution, is rooted in the divine Word of God.
again prove that evolution is a creation of God.
Everything in nature is a creation of God. As the scriptures just cited remind us, he is the Creator of "all things" and upholds "all things" by the word of his power.
So, as part of nature, evolution is a creation of God, just like electricity, photosynthesis and every other natural process.
there is no scripture that links evolution to existence or to being responsible for what God did.
Of course, evolution is not responsible for what God did, any more than magnetism or tidal forces. It is God who is responsible for the existence of natural forces and processes, not the other way around. God brought evolution into being when he brought life into being. God made living things to evolve and they do.
again you go tothe extreme and the absurd to try and find an excuse to justify believing in evolution and not God.
Well, I am glad you also think it absurd to avoid the use of organs in church just because they are not mentioned in scripture. But the whole of your argument against evolution is based on the same silence.
If it is ridiculous (and I agree it is) to ban organs because of scriptural silence, it is just as ridiculous to oppose evolution because of scriptural silence.
Silence does not imply condemnation.
Is this your opinion, archeologist, or are you claiming to be God again?
the above says you do not understand the very theory you believe in.
It never occurs to you that it may be you who does not understand it?
it is substantiated by the Bible, Jesus and the Holy Spirit along with the apostles.
So you claim. I find no substantiation of your claim.
that which is not of God is of the devil and secular science, evolution are not of God.
Repeating your mantra does not make it any truer than when you first said it.
