Why did God do this...

[Mike Flynn]

Its foolishness to me. God is my plausible theory, and what process he used to create the world isn t important to me, only the spreading of his gospel. For every true christian this world is not their home, its with the creator. Evolution is a stumbling stone to many people.

But is it a 'stumbling stone' becuase the science disproves God? Well, those that make that claim are the real problem there. Evolution niether proves or disproves God. I wouldn't listen to any argument that says otherwise.

OR is it a 'stumbling stone' because Biblical literalists who call themselves Christian 'authorities' say that its heresy (and foolish)? Make no mistake, there are some Christians that are the real 'stumbling stones' to many who might otherwise accept Christ into their hearts. Is that how Christians are called to spread the Gospel? Is it really Christ's heart toward scientists to call their work foolish? The woman at the well comes to mind here...

And the world IS our home, it is the good space that God created for his good creation (Gen 1). We live in the world, but we are called not to BELONG to the world (John 15:19)..a very important distinction. Our hearts belong to Christ and we are called to be a blessing to others and to help further God's kingdom HERE in this world, empowered by the Holy Spirit. With that in mind I would like nothing more than to welcome all people in the science community with open arms into the body of Christ.

I would also add that if looking into the world of science is not important to you and tends to shake up your faith..then the simple solution is to stay away from it and focus on what counts. But why slam the door on other Christians who don't have a problem with it?

Science is not foolishness to me, but the idea that you take a dog, add 1 billion years and mysteriously it evolves into a horse is, not saying that scientist have said this, but this is the general idea behind evolution. Thus evolution is foolishness to me.

poor strawman you even ADMIT that your strawman is a strawman when you say that "scientists do not say this" so why do you thing that burning your strawman has any merit whatsoever. scientists do not say stuff like that because it isn't even the general idea!!! basically all you have said, is: my strawman is foolish, therefore the theory it attempts to portray is also foolish. do you even know what a strawman is?
