To believe that requires great ignorance.On the contrary. Many creationists are quite clear about what a lie is. Henry Morris, the founder of modern creationism, put it succinctly: "The purpose of the theory of evolution is to deny the existence of God." (emphasis added)
You were more than ears, chief.Hey, any time you want to talk about joy, blessing, forgiveness, charity, benevolence, or forbearance, I'll be all ears.
Evolution doesn't talk about god at all.God says He created man and evolution says that God did not create man.
One of them is wrong.
Christians believe that God has the better track record at telling the truth.
Too narrow minded an explanation.The real reason is they do not believe that Genesis can be rightly interpreted in any way that deviates from the Earth being created within 144 hours around (roughly) 5782 years ago. An attack on that interpretation to them is an attack on the faith itself, because they consider their method of interpretation to be foundational to the faith.
Paul said that? Anyway, TKLV is an agnostic, not an atheist.You were more than ears, chief.
You had it all.
It's your feet that I'm questioning.
Why'd you walk out on all that?
Was Paul right when he said embracing evolution can lead to atheism?
I wouldn't either if I was evolution.Evolution doesn't talk about god at all.
Affirmative.Paul said that?
Thanks for the correction.ottawak said:Anyway, TKLV is an agnostic, not an atheist.
Could you be more specific? What in my statement about evolution is not true?That may be so. For example your statement about
evolution is not true.
Correct. Because the theory of evolution only explains how it was done, not who did it.I wouldn't either if I was evolution.
Isaiah 29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
It was a special creation whether God made man out of a handful of dust or a precursor primate. You're just arguing about the starting materials.Could you be more specific? What in my statement about evolution is not true?
Evolution claims than Men and Chimpanzees both evolved from a common primate ancestor.
How does that not deny man as a special act of creation (named "Adam") by God?
But the theory of evolution says how long it took to do it.Correct. Because the theory of evolution only explains how it was done, not who did it.
I think there's more to it than that -- much more.It was a special creation whether God made man out of a handful of dust or a precursor primate. You're just arguing about the starting materials.
And so we are back to the Bible again. These discussions are never really about anythiing but how to read Genesis.But the theory of evolution says how long it took to do it.
And it's off by millions of years.
A person can't be evolution.I wouldn't either if I was evolution.
The Bible states that God created Adam:Do you believe that a natural explanation for a phenomenon excludes divine causality? This is an interesting theological question. Most Christians believe that it does not.
And so these discussions about the bible should probably be in the Christian section of this forum so that it doesn't get bogged down with atheists talking about science.And so we are back to the Bible again. These discussions are never really about anythiing but how to read Genesis.
Special acts of creation are not the mechanism of evolution. Many small changes over a long time are the mechanism. So you are denying evolution and just arguing Genesis with God grabbing one of the animals instead of a handful of clay.It was a special creation whether God made man out of a handful of dust or a precursor primate. You're just arguing about the starting materials.
There is self- deception, as in choosing to believe
obvious nonsense. Lying to self.
And theres this, and more
Invincible ignorance fallacy - Wikipedia
Theres a lot of things to to call it when a person
cannot accept proof that they are mistaken.
... but it DOES talk about the creation of man through incremental evolutionary changes that contradict the "God made Adam" explanation. So it SCREAMS in its silence.Evolution doesn't talk about god at all.
" what is if a persons mistake is pointed out to them
but they persist in the claim anyway"?
Your lil anecdote illusrates an example in which
the error is pointed out.
Now what do you call it if they persist in their
claim anyway?
