If we ever come up with a cure for cancer, do you think we should use it?Cancer and all sickness, illness, disease, pain, suffering and death is a product of NOT following the Law and Commandments of God. He is a God of justice and He would not allow people to suffer unjustly. Even when people do suffer He will cause good to come out of it. So that all things work together for the good for those who love God and are following His plan and purpose for them and their life.
Of course, we pray for people with Cancer all the time and often they recover. The Bible says to choose life, health, blessing and prosperity. It is never to late to repent, turn away from your sin and live righteous before God,If we ever come up with a cure for cancer, do you think we should use it?

Again, science is more strict then the Bible when it comes to eating the right food to avoid cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Even IF you have a genetic predisposition to cancer still you can hinder the expression of those genes with the right program of diet and lifestyle changes. So based on what you say that cancer is "is present in virtually all complex eukaryotes." then all the more we need to be very careful to hinder that cancer so that we can continue to be healthy.The idea that it is the result of not following the law and commandments of god is doubly ludicrous
And yet, a virus does not care if you are Mother Theresa or Charles Manson; it will reproduce regardless.Of course, we pray for people with Cancer all the time and often they recover.

It is not that He invented Cancer, it is just a result of living in rebellion to the world we live in. God created the universe with laws that need to be followed.I think it is a real shame your God invented cancer: he must have been really ticked off, that day.
If you want to live to be 80 then diet is going to be a part of that.And yet, a virus does not care if you are Mother Theresa or Charles Manson; it will reproduce regardless.
If I were an all powerful being who wanted to create something as big and beautiful as the ENTIRE UNIVERSE... I would NEVER do it all by hand. I'd be too smart for that. First, I'd create the Laws of Physics, chemistry, etc. Then I would design a mechanism by which life of all forms can flourish.... IE... Evolution.
To me, Evolution is proof of creationism. It is proof that there is an Omniscient, Omnipotent being out there.
Most people who don't believe in evolution say "it's just a theory, it hasn't been proven" Which is a blatant misunderstanding of the word "theory". In scientific terms, a theory is something that has been proven, but not quantified (As opposed to a Law which is always true in every instance and can be calculated). It happens folks. No amount of whining and moaning can un-prove or undo evolution. So instead of believing that it is some affront to God, why not realize that Evolution is actually God's work?
We've seen evolution in our lifetimes. On microbial scale, we see things like algae being coaxed into evolving into fuel producing species. As humans, we've had a hand in the evolution of Dogs. We chose the ones that are loyal and that look nice, and the rest were routinely killed off. Even an astute person can see how traits are passed down from human parent to human child. We see hundreds or thousands of versions of the same plants and animals in different regions of the world.
So lets look at this differently.
Evolution does not disprove creationism, it is the mechanism. Science is how were discover God's universe. It is not the unholy tool by which we unravel God. It is God's tool by which we discover HIM!
Will you answer the question then, or do you too wonder if I'm too dumb to understand?
Let me see if I can help.Will you answer the question then, or do you too wonder if I'm too dumb to understand?
Or you might have to abandon the idea that dinosaurs died 70 million years ago.
Thanks for that AV. Such wisdom from the atheists that is ahem, wisdomless.
Few scholars would agree that Jesus is a mythical character.That quote attributed to Jesus (most likely a mythical character; certainly there was no Christ), is a comment on hypocrisy. It is borrowed from the Greeks as is a great deal of the New Testament, Platonism.
Phenotype, I am surprised and touched by the heartfelt plea that you have included in this post. It seems that you truly feel for the welfare of my soul. You have taken the time to bear your personal testimony of how valuable the study of empirical fallacies can be. I believe the term for this is "witnessing." I am glad that you took this moment to ensure that I was "saved" and to share your personal conversion story.Zosimus, education, reading science and scholarly books and interwebz articles is transformational. I can attest to it. Neural pathways are created in the brain with the acquisition of understandings, paradigms like evolution, geology, genetics, ethics. As the intellect is developed, one simply becomes more of oneself, opened up, realising intellectual potential. It is the great preventive against bigotry and narrow mindedness. It is rather important for mental health.
Your argument presupposes that the igneous rock really is 30 to 10 million years old.Then why can't we find any dinosaur fossils above igneous rock that date to 30 or 10 million years old? Why are all of the dinosaur fossils below igneous deposits that date to 65 million years and older?

I just didn't think that atheists were evangelic in that way. This is the first time I've ever been witnessed to by an atheist.
Of course, if science is to be believed (something I personally doubt) then there are a number of ways to create neural pathways in the brain. Learning new foreign languages or playing video games are both believed to create neural pathways.
What makes your faith so special?
Could you explain that mechanism in more detail?It is not that He invented Cancer, it is just a result of living in rebellion to the world we live in.
How´s that statement different from "God invented cancer" when cancer is part of the laws that God created?God created the universe with laws that need to be followed.
We can bring out the best or worst in our genetic predispositions based on the nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices we make.Could you explain that mechanism in more detail?

Creationism uses Science to help us understand God's message for us today. He talks to us through the Bible. Also God talks to us through the natural record that He created for us in the natural world. Through things like geology we can study the geological ages in the past. Through fossils and now DNA God gives us a record of his Creation so we can better understand how He created the world we live in.Creationism is not science.
There are wild dogs and there are domesticated dogs. Just like there are wild and domesticated plants. Often the domesticated plants and animals can adapt outside of their bio diverse ecology. Here in America we are told that the Amish and Mennonite people were some of the first to get plants from Europe to adapt to grow here in American.There is no "first" dog, just like there is no "first" spanish speaking child.
Sorry, but I don´t see how this is an answer to my question.We can bring out the best or worst in our genetic predispositions based on the nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices we make.
