What does that mean? I said that I do not believe in the selective advantage of mutations. I said I do not believe in evolutionists mutation theory. That does not mean I do not believe in mutations. Population genetics is based on markers that are mutations. I use that as evidence for the historical accuracy of the Bible. Do you not believe in mutations when those mutations prove that the Bible is true and accurate?Hmm... So now you believe in mutations?
So Agnosticism runs on no need for evidence, does it?I have no faith, so no need for evidence

Fair enough -- neither does mine; so don't call your mindset 'science' and mine 'religion' and expect me to agree.
You go, sis!Can a believer in Christ believe in evolution? Absolutely not.
The position of theistic evolution is false. God did not use evolution as his methof of creation. This is a contradiction in terms. Natural selection is cruel....the struggle for life and the elimination of the weakest....not part of Gods plan for the human race. What Christian could defend this method? God is not about mutations and trials and mistakes. If one thinks theistic evolution is true...then Genesis is a farse a book of misinformation.
If Adam did not eat the fruit and fall into sin then we has human beings do not need a Savior, sin doesnt exist and there is no need for redemption.
Mathematician Dr. David Berlinski had this to say. "Darwin's theory of evolution is the last of the great-nineteenth century mystery religions. And as we speak it is now following Freudianism and Marxism into the Nether regions, and I'm quite sure that Freud, Marx and Darwin are commiserating one with the other in the dark dungeon where discarded gods gather."
To think that complexed biological systems just formed perfectly...the eye and what about the egg...one of the most complexed structures in the universe. To think this all just arose for no reason...and by chance.
One giant leap of faith...........
Evolution.......
Everyone on earth has a different genetic code and fingerprint? Wow what are the odds of this happening?

Since Christ is Truth the quest of Science appears to be a very christian endeavor, indeed.
And, in this Age we have established this scientific method by which Truth can be pinned down and made explicitly the same for all observes.
Truth for me, under laboratory conditions is the same truth for you and our peers.
However, it is more germane to Christianity that we discover, recognize, and admit to the Truth in the discipline of Human Behavior.
As an example, the Bible focuses our attention on the distrucive nature of sexual promiscuity.
We are advised against toleration of harlotry and overt homosexual expressions in our society.
The atheist and Gay communities fiercely attack this advice and have always argued that their behavior hurts no on.
But the evidence today is now available in Statistics which show that Single Mothers have grown to @ 50% of all American families.
In addition to requiring a change in economics, (promoting an untried Socialism to replace a system that would not otherwise have seemed "broken"), that Stats tell us that 75% of crime and all social problems are caused by kids raised without the authority of a natural father in the home.

Science is not a religion, and is not the opposite of religion either, as much as you guys want to make it so.
You go, sis!
The Bible says otherwise.Science is not a religion, and is not the opposite of religion either, as much as you guys want to make it so.
I'm sure she is referring to macroevolution.I don't get it AV, you mentioned many times here that you believe in most of evolution, and then you agree when someone says that a believer in Christ can't believe in evolution?
I'm sure she is referring to macroevolution.
Microevolution is a.k.a. adaptation.

Changing topics again? Start a new thread, and I will gladly answer there. Actually, those questions are more appropriate in the Philosophy subforum. Just a reminder, this thread was started by someone asking for evidence from creationists (of which there is none).
it was only a meeting where Christianity tried to get its story straight.(i) First Council of Nicea primarily rejected Arianism. What exactly is your point?
So you think Christan is the one special religion from all the myths? Prove it. Oh... your proof is your religious book and you cant give evidence for why its true over any other religious book? well though luck then.(ii) I'm afraid this is such a poor argument, and one that I would challenge you or anyone else to back up.
Firstly, it's completely wrong to say that "every religion" makes these claims. Give me one example of another religion (other than Christianity) which argues for it's validity based on historical accuracy. And don't just name another religion - lay out the argument briefly with a reference to the historical evidence.
If you research this properly then you will find that only Christianity is founded on actual historical evidence.
Secondly, it's a totally fallacious argument anyway. Do you not understand that something can only be true if it corresponds to reality? Does it not occur that if 2 belief systems say opposite things then they both cannot be true?
The argument that other religions making truth claims based on correctness and historical evidence somehow cancel each other out is completely false.
And yet again you've provided 2 points (they're not arguments) and nothing evidence wise to back them up.
In future, if you say something like "First Council of Nicea (enough said)" - it might be an idea to actually explain what your argument actually is??? Or have you just picked up a copy of The Da Vinci code?
You have read the bible right? You must have skipped a few chapters.God IS Love.
The Holy Bible was written by those in Love(God).
All in Love(God), are one.
Love is peace, joy, all things that are good.
Thanks to youDefinitions today are not nearly what they used to be.
Today, they are watered-down, spineless, candy-coated, mixed-up hybrids of what they used to be.
