Why do some fundamentalist reject evolution?

[NBB]

Its generally ok to express opinions or attitudes,
though ones disparaging person's of ideas you
know nothing about, not so much. We noted your
"or worse". You should too.



IF evolution is " wrong" it will take more than your
attitude to show that.
Attitude in this case being that you know more
than tens of millions of your fellow Christians,
and more than any scientist on earth.
We've noted that humility is a Christian virtue
that is little exercised by creationists.

There is no problem whatever in inuding God in evolution.
There is a problem inventing facts.
Your post contains several made up facts. Attitude does not equate
to fact.
Truthfulness is another Christian virtue.

There is zero evidence that anything supernatural is
involved in crystal formation, math, rain, chemistry,
or life processes. Inserting supernatural agency in .
these is senseless. Show us evidence, then talk.

A God may very well have started the universe, made all physical
laws, and so forth. Nobody can make sensible argument for
or against that.
Saying He puts each molecule in place as a crystal grows or
supervises each genetic change in living things is speaking
authoritatively of things for which zero evidence exists.

We realize you want to believe as you do.
I might want to believe I've a chance to grow over five ft .
tall but that's not going to make it so.

What you want to believe plus no facts does not show
evolution is "wrong".

The universe and its people talks of God, and God can interact with us, the same interacted iwth me and millions others, people are just ignoring everything worth knowing, that we are in this earth to seek God and makes things right with him. Sadly.

That's pretty rich, coming from someone who once said this:

"The nature of the God Christians believe in"

Having actually read the Bible I find I know more about said God than a majority of Christians I've spoken to.

Its not knowing in theory and in your natural mind anyway, its knowing him with his spirit, you can't know God and be dead spirituallly, you need his spirit to know him, and for that you need to be born again.

The thing about interacting is a nice thought, though
I don't happen to believe it, or anything else for
which there is no evidence.
I need more than "nice" or any other emotional
thing to translate into the " facts" you put forth.

Who is ignoring everything worth knowing is
partly a matter of opinion.
In my opinion, the chance that anyone knows
what "people" are ignoring v what is important
and real is not very good.

Ya -- here's an example of how well she knows the Bible "better than the majority of Christians she's spoken to":

Considering how Christians found the inquisition, witch burning, pogroms, crusades, and black slavery all justified in the bible and they all go to war with Gods aid invoked, its easy to see why some of are leary, suspicious, skeptical.

For me God is as real as anything else real, not because blind faith only but because the Holy spirit can reach us.

I don't go by emotions to determine the nature of reality

 

[AV1611VET]

I don't go by emotions to determine the nature of reality.

Science's version of reality ends at the edge of the universe.

An edge they admit they can't even see.

But reality is much, much, much more than nature itself.

Especially considering the fossil record, DNA, etc? Evolution does not mean anti-God.

Repeat. You can be a Christian and believe in evolution. period

not unless you dismiss Genesis .... we did not come from animals ...

God made Adam from dirt ... not the animals and on a different day

We were created in the image of God .... not in the image of animals.

We should take Genesis 1–11 as straightforward, accurate, literal history because Jesus, the Apostles, and all the other biblical writers did so. There is absolutely no biblical basis for taking these chapters as any kind of non-literal, figurative genre of literature.

The Bible is crystal clear. We must believe Genesis 1–11 as literal history because Jesus, the New Testament Apostles, and the Old Testament prophets did, and because these opening chapters of Genesis are foundational to the rest of the Bible.

and the morning and the evening was 1 day .... don't get any clearer.

Exodus 20:11 states: “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” This, of course, is the basis for our seven-day week—six days of work and one day of rest. Obviously, this passage was meant to be taken as speaking of a total of seven literal days based on the Creation Week of six literal days of work and one literal day of rest.

If not .... the Jews, Jesus and all the apostles would have no idea what day of the week to gather and worship on and any day would be fine .... and none of them taught or practiced this.

Jesus was/is God/the creator ... our example in everything .... and we are wise to follow in His steps .... His steps included keeping the 7th day Sabbath.

1 Peter 2:21
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

(Jesus speaking) But from the beginning of the creation ‘God made them male and female.’” (Mark 10:6). This makes it clear that Jesus taught the creation was young, for Adam and Eve existed “from the beginning”—not billions of years after the universe and Earth came into existence.

Follow the Lamb and His teachings .... not man's ideas about things.
