  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why do Christians have trouble with accepting Evolution?

I'm done playng games with you. What you perceive as simple English is gibberish that makes no sense. A simple explanation would have sufficed but instead you want to play word games.
No word games just plain simple conversational English in reply to your posts. I shouldn't have to explain the topic of your post to you so you know what "it" is. If you find things that difficult then I can't help you.

Because sin has caused us to have a genetic mutation the same as a primate only proves we have the same genetic defect...

Paul, if we are created in the image of God, do you believe all the animals are?

evolution is a strained/far-fetched concept, there are no more than 5-6 millennia for the sin to reign over the world reckoned from the day of the original sin(fall) on, so there is a (short) transition rather than an evolution

Revelation 17:10 "there are seven kings(i.e. seven times): five are fallen(i.e. it is expected that 5 millennia pass reckoned from the day of the original sin/fall on), and one is(i.e. and the end of the reign of the "darkness" is expected to be in the 6th millennium), and the other is not yet come(i.e. and the time for which the "darkness" will continue to reign (before the end) in the sixth millennium will come last); and when he cometh, he must continue a short space(i.e. but it will be (very) short)."

Blessings

I'll post it again for you so you may understand simple conversational English.
You said
I agree you can't prove the bible to the unsaved that lack the Holy Spirit.
and in reply I said
Sometimes you can't even prove it to the saved.
Which directly translates to. Sometimes you can't even prove the Bible to the unsaved. What is so difficult in that for you to understand? Unlike you I'm not going to call you ignorant but I will call you up on twisting things so you can get a bite.

Doesn't follow.
resurrection and the lie of evolution ..are totally incompatible .one is truth then other a lie .

science knows dead is dead .. no one evolves back to life
science is a carnal minded observation of the created world.
but god is not and never wil be governed by the creation he made . -he is God .

he to whom all things are possible and with whom nothing is impossible says he created it in 6 days .. it is " men" who say other wise .

You just made that up, you have no logical reason for saying that.

science knows dead is dead .. no one evolves back to life

What evolves is the pattern for the following generations.

science is a carnal minded observation of the created world.

Developing vaccinations and cures for diseases doesn't strike me as particularly "carnal minded".

but god is not and never wil be governed by the creation he made . -he is God .

And you can't tell Him what He has to do to qualify as God.

he to whom all things are possible and with whom nothing is impossible says he created it in 6 days .. it is " men" who say other wise .
You should trust the direct word of God, written in the stars, the rocks, and the genomes.

This is the best argument you have against a flat Earth. There are hundreds of indications of a flat Earth, which refutes the idea of a ball.

If you believe in the Bible, which I believe you say that you do, then you'd support the flat Earth.

NASA is lies. It is filled with freemasons who are about nothing more than deception. Freemasonry is an arm of the illuminati, just as the Jesuits of the Roman Catholic church are too.

If the Earth is a sphere we'd have untold numbers of REAL photos of Earth, of which we do not. All we have is cgi or composites. Yet, we had Hubble out far enough to take a picture of the Earth. It is a fraud. I can't believe that you can't see it. Hubble in space doesn't exist. Every photo of Hubble is computer generated. It's not real.

The moon missions were complete fakes. There's plenty of evidence to indicate what a mockery and what deception that they partook in.

Or,
There were 7 popes named Paul. Five were fallen. The six was. The seventh was John Paul, who died after 33 days. The next was John Paul II, under who's reign the sex abuse scandals rocked the church. Revelation is all metaphoric, but likely the Lord's return is imminent.

I am still having trouble with your posts, KW. You say that you do not want to rely on human judgment. OK, fine. But that is all I find on your posts, human judgments. For one thing, you are presenting your own judgment, you own theory as to how God, Scripture, and science should be related. For another, you are reiterating the views of church fathers and the natural theology in vogue at the time of Darwin. So others do have to right to challenge and question what you say. When that happens, you should take it as constructive criticism telling you that you need to modify parts of your theory. Instead, however, you demonize your opponents. That's bad form in any theologcial discussion.

That isn't at all accurate, BornAgain. Evolution came from painstaking observations of nature. Alfred Russell Wallace, a colleague of Darwin, spent almost ten years living in jungles, painstakingly studying specimens. That shows a lot of courage and determination. Certainly far more spirit that we arm-chair naturalists have. So, yes, I am going to listen to Wallace, to the man who lived it first-hand.

"Evolution" is a man created pagan religion based on pseudo science.

Please don't defame religion by using religion as a derogatory term. I am a religious man myself, a Christian, and I think that being religious is a good thing, not a bad thing.

People don't trust evolution for their salvation. They have, however, discovered that species did evolve to become what they are today. Its analogous to discovering that the gravity of the moon causes tides. Interesting, but not a religion.

The science behind evolution theory is quite sound. In fact, evolution is confirmed over and over again by new discoveries in the fossil record and in analysis of living forms. For example, your body contains vestigial ear wiggling muscles, a clear remnant from an ancestral species that could move its ears to good effect.

That isn't at all accurate, Alithis. Science is not at all equipped to investigate what happens after death. Furthermore, you made some questionable claims about God. All things are possible with God? OK, does that mean God can do evil? If all things are possible, then it is possible God will do evil. Do you believe that? Does that mean God can create a stone so heavy that he can't lift it? Divine omnipotence I think is a major theological mistake. It denies human freedom and makes God the author of evil.

Can you explain what you mean by "new discoveries in the fossil record"? Honestly, I don't see anything to support evolution.

Species did not evolve. If you believe that, then you're being deceived. There is no genetic, physical, or any type of evidence to support such a claim.

Gravity does not exist. It is nothing more than the density of an object being greater in comparison to its surrounding substance. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's not "proof", it's "evidence". It is possible, however unlikely, that next time you add heat to water it will freeze. That's how the whole "just a theory" thing works. Yes, evolution is "just a theory", the same way "adding heat to water boils it" is "just a theory".

If there's no such thing as gravity, how does a denser object know which way to fall?
