Why does evolution threaten God?

[Michael]

Chinese women look much more "just like god' than white anglo dispenso-inerrantists do. Smarter, too.

Well, as a man who dearly loves the women in his life, and women in general, that's not surprising to me. IMO ethnicity is irrelevant, they are all so beautiful.

 

[Michael]

In God, all things are possible. If he chose to take millions of years to develop us, then who are we to argue?

There are also a number of other extenuating circumstances to consider. There would be no point for instance in "creating" us in the midst of the dinosaur era. I doubt we would have lasted very long. It's important to get all the flora, fauna, and other life forms all just right.

 

[Hespera]

Having quite an awesome Chinese girlfriend I'm going to have to agree here.

oh my, dont let Chesterton the Humourless hear you!

he will think you are a racist!

 

[Hespera]

Not sure what you're aiming for, but they don't give awards here on CF for "Most Racist Poster".

Good one! You dont know what i am saying, but you do know it is racist.

We are reminded about the one about Art Bell whose wife reportedly knew him for only a week before they got married.

"i dont know anything about Art", she said, "but i know what I like!"

I never knew, btw, that dispenso-inerranticists were a race! Could you tell me something about their habits, life history, and influence on mankind?

oh my, dont let Chesterton the Humourless hear you!

he will think you are a racist!

Eh, I'm white and (half) anglo, so how bad

 

[Hespera]

Oh I dont know, i hate to think! The internal strife! The left hand vs the right.
The gizzard at war with the sternocleidomastoid!
How do you manage?

My boyfriend is German. So i am really torn, maybe you can advise me from your experience.

How would you advise me, should i hate our baby 12 on 12 off, or, love one side, hate the other, full time?

Or should a person just give up on this racism stuff as a bad job and not worth it?

Any advice for the holier than thous out there always looking to be morally superior by claiming racism in others?

but they have not seen american fundies circle their trailers

We're not planning any great leap forward.

 

[Hespera]

We're not planning any great leap forward.

Neither is anyone else, my out of date friend, whose ancestors were going about poking at cave bears with sharp sticks while mine were writing poetry.

The ones with their circled trailers... funny you'd pick that line to selectively edit for quotet as per your usual...are for sure the last ones who will ever make any leaps forward, no, they will just continue their backward slide into a dusty oblivion of forgotten superstitions and cultural stagnation.

They dont appreciate how lucky they are that they are in such a small minority, you'd have long since lost the country to more aggressive and rational invaders.

Um ... I thought you ... of anyone here ... would have gotten the gist of what I said.

Read it again a little more slowly, please; it contains a double entendre.

So this is to the creationists: why do you think evolution threatens God? Why do you think other scientific theories -- Relativity, chemistry, cell theory, optics, etc. -- do not threaten God?

Science can not threaten God, what science threatens is the credability of certain sources that intend to speak for God.

You wit is about as incisive as a truck tire, and here you come back with it again. spare me.

Was it a true trick?

She got it. She may have ignored it and called you *out of date*, but she got it. You just missed it, thats all. (I know, you were trying to be ironic, but her irony slipped right past you didnt it?)

Back to the OP- Evolution (and the scientific theory of evolution) does not threaten any deity. Anyone who says otherwise LIMITS their deity, given that said deity is omnipotent and omniscient (what I like to call "GodinMYbox&quot. It is simply religious BELIEF that is threatened by such, NOT an actual GOD. Really, what can threaten an omnipotent and omniscient GOD?

I like the fact that the Ten Plagues were not just random plagues, but were targeted at specific Egyptian deities.

God points that out later:

Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

And Asaph reiterates it:

Psalm 82:1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

God also pwned the Philistine deity when the Ark was commandeered by them, and He used Elijah to trump [the prophets of] Baal.

And that has exactly WHAT to do with the possibility (as proposed by the OP) of the scientific Theory of Evolution threatening God??? (btw, is anyone else having an issue formatting posts? Or is it just me? Note that I cannot do bold, italics or even paragraphs...........argh!!))

 

[corvus_corax]

O wait, I think i get you now (I would have ETAd my previous post, but apparently I cannot even do that). Are you saying that God WAS threatened by the BELIEFS of the Egyptians?

A tire? Spare me? That was cute.
