Why are some Christians anti Evolution?

[Astrid]

From a human perspective, perhaps.

What would you find interesting if you already know
everything past present and future, and every alternative that
is possible or impossible?

 

[eleos1954]

Sounds like I understand pretty well already, but thanks.

Proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.

Can we get a working definition of "sin" before this goes any further?

Eze- peezy.

Anything I can do but God cant.

 

[eleos1954]

sin is transgression of the law.

1 John 3:4

New International Version
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

Proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.

How does that apply to creationists who deny the reality of deep
time and evolution?

I can't imagine being in that state.

Seems the truly wise would be at least a little discerning regarding whose counsel...

sin is transgression of the law.

I understand there are quite a few of those laws -- all of them equally important.

As my status as an unbeliever is a transgression of one of many of those laws, I have no reason to follow any of the others -- an unfortunate flaw in your legal system, don't you think?

So who's the enemy this time?

For Creationists I presume it is science and atheists.

For Christianity in general and particularly for USA Christianity the enemy are LGQBT and pro-choice.
And with the population typically being more and more friendly to LGQBT, this hate coming from Christian groups is turning people away from Christianity.

Which raises the uncomfortable question: What did these people (scientists, atheists, and LGBTs) ever do to Christians to merit such hate?

Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Don't you think humans should leave all the judgement and punishment upto god?

Don’t confuse CF with American Christianity. A majority of the latter say gays should be accepted. Religion in America: U.S. Religious Data, Demographics and Statistics

Shouldn't we be warning them ahead of time?

Most people in the western world already know this interpretation of Christianity. They don't need to be told again.

Aren't you the one who brags about not knowing much of Christianity?

(Or maybe I have the wrong person here; if so, I apologize.)

In any event, do you think you're qualified to speak for those in the LGBTQ community?

I don't know much about Christianity, I haven't read the book and never will.
But hateful Christians certainly make it know that they believe gays are sinning and will go to hell.

I very much doubt many people if any don't know that some Christians believe this.
Walking around telling them is just making a nuisance of yourself and harassing a minority group, and making people think Christianity is a religion of hate.

That's nice. Relevance?

Don't you think you've warned them enough?
Or is making their lives unpleasant in this world supposed to give them a sneak preview of the next one?
