Why does evolution threaten God?

[The Lady Kate]

I appreciate your input good sir, but am still waiting to hear how my using the Internet equates to hypocrisy due to my belief that the theory of evolution is just that, a theory. And a bad one at that. I don't appreciate "being put in my place" by pseudo-intellectuals of your ilk. The argument the supplied is, at best, a non-sequitur.

Then perhaps you shouldn't have turned your boundless contempt on all of science, when in reality, all you seem to take issue with is evolutionary science... for reasons you still haven't discussed.

You attacked all science by claiming that scientist's are "Satan's clergy" but obviously enjoy such fruits of science as the internet and modern medicine.

You are a new to these discussions and this board, so I will mention for your enllightenment that in science, a "theory" is an explanation for observed facts that has been repeatedly tested. It is not a hunch, a guess, or a daydream.

The "Theory of Evolution" is a very robust theory that has been repeatedly challenged, tested and refined for over a hundred and fifty years. It attempts to explain the observed fact of evolution, which is simply the change in the frequency of alleles over time in an interbreeding population.

I don't appreciate "being put in my place" by pseudo-intellectuals of your ilk.

I suspect you don't like being shown your proper place by anyone of any ilk. It really not the fault of the usher that your proper place is in the pit. You purchased your position with intellectual sloth and sloppy thinking. Do a little work, and your place may elicit more respect.

The argument the supplied is, at best, a non-sequitur.

Are you sure it isn't a straw-man? It surely isn't an "ad hominem", like, "All scientists are Satan's clergy".

Then perhaps you (TwoSteppinDino) shouldn't have turned your boundless contempt on all of science, when in reality, all you seem to take issue with is evolutionary science... for reasons you still haven't discussed.

What she said! You have pulled a Mel Gibson, TwoSteppinDino, and you probably weren't even drunk!

Dude, grab ahold of reality and never let go. Evolution is real even though you refuse to accept the facts and realities of life. You would understand and accept evolution if you would just pay attention and comprehend these scientific principles that evolution adheres to. What education level do you have? Are you in middle school? If so I cam understand your skepticism.

Have you ever taken a unversity level course on the subject? If not you probably don't have any valid reason to even post in an evolution thread since you have very little if any education within the realm; you should go to school before making stupid comments. Once you've been educated you're free to make any ignorant opinions you want.

 

[The Lady Kate]

Middle school is all that's necessary in God's country thank you very much!

So, it's not merely evolution, or even all of science, but education in general which you take issue with?

 

[Split Rock]

Evidence on "evolution" is like reading from the book of Satan. It simply exists to lead people astray from God's path to glory. Scientists are nothing more than Satan's clergy.

Nothing but empty rhetoric and flamming. Let's see if your posts improve any...

I don't see what any of these things have to do with the bullpucky that is called "evolution". Do you claim my clothes, house, and car evolved from a flatworm, platypus, and elephant?

Look again at the part of your first post I bolded.

What's this to do with evolution? Is it then, your claim oh wise science-worshiper (and witch too, I see!), that the Internet evolved from a lesser creature such as a stink beetle? Because the only thing that stinks here is your logic

What stinks here is your hypocrisy. Also, I bet you just cannot wait until you get the opportunity to burn that "witch" on the stake of God's love... too bad its illegal, huh?

You have supplied nothing here at all resembling logic. Just more hypocrisy.

Middle school is all that's necessary in God's country thank you very much!

Ah yes... it is not just science that is the work of Satan, but education itself! I am reminded of when I lived in Mississippi near Greenville. Greenville is the third largest city in the state, but it has no colleges to speak of. "It don't take no fancy book learn'in to drive a tractor," was the philosophy. Now that cotton is no longer "king," in the Delta, they would benefit from having a state university. Since they rejected having one in the past, it was built in Cleveland, MS instead (Delta State Universty). I'm soooo glad I don't live in "God's Country" anymore!

What? No PhD in truthology at the christian liberty college?
Well at least you seem eager not to learn too much about what you think is Satan's work.
And I can tell you one thing, if everyone would finish their education after
middle-school, that country would be Satan's country rather than God's.

Absurdity is one thing but calling scientists evil and the devils advocats is just downright repulsive, so grossely offensive I can't even find the right words to describe it.

It's interesting that some won't bat an eye at calling us creationists "glorified apes", but howl at the moon if we say they are in any way associated with an angel -- albeit a fallen one.

 

[Vatis]

Yes, honestly, it is a shame witch burning is illegal. It's too bad the Salem Witch Trials were so badly mishandled that they make it look bad today.



With your attitude, I'm glad you are out of God's country too.

Shoo! Go away nasty poe!
(If this is serious I'm glad I don't live in God's country/Jesus land/the red states but way over the pond were we still think witch-burning is bad )

Glorified is a complete exaggeration, really we're all just apes. You, me, the guy who lives next to you and even Jesus.

Too bad it takes more than Middle School for Doctors (So you don't use them right) Software Engineers(So you don't use any thing they write), Hardware Engineers(No Hardware either ? )ect.

 

[AV1611VET]

Quite a staggering claim, given that you yourself are using technology built and maintained by scientists.

Yup -- said scientists breathing God's air and using God-created materials to build an Internet so they can claim God doesn't exist.

That makes a lot of sense.

 

[AV1611VET]

Ya -- well, some use the term 'glorified ape'.

You know I have a feeling you'd really like the middle-ages.
Lots of God-fearing people, no science at all, good ol' witch-burnings and [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]-drags, public executions every day and the list goes on.
Sounds good, eh?
Maybe someday scientists will invent a time-machine and all your dreams will come true....

Look over their posting History, they're not a poe, I'd go for a different type of Internet Poster.

 

[AV1611VET]

Perhaps then you could use it to go back in time and get a real picture of what you think the middle ages were like?

 

[Doveaman]

Thank you very much, but I believe I have the real picture of what the middle ages were like.

I don't think he meant you.

 

[Vatis]

I don't understand the "poe" reference. Edgar Allan Poe? What does "The Raven", "The Tell-Tale Heart", or anything else of its kind have to do with this? Please, stop trying to derail the conversation and leave your atheist, European convictions exactly where they belong...out of God's America and "way over the pond"!

Definition Poe
A person who writes a parody of a Fundamentalist that is mistaken for the real thing. Due to Poe's Law, it is almost impossible to tell if a person is a Poe unless they admit to it.

Quote: Urbandictionary
And yes I am the one derailing the conversation because I am the one making a vile claim like science is the devil's work, right?
And yes I will post my atheistic European convictions anywhere I damn well please!

 

[Split Rock]

AV1611VET, I am SO sorry I acted in haste

Are you going to apologize to the rest of us as well?

 

[The Lady Kate]

My apologies, this thread has got me all riled up. So sorry all..

Well, take a breath, count to ten, and explain then how a scientist claims to be any kind of prophet, let alone a false one.

 

[Doveaman]

My apologies, this thread has got me all riled up.

I understand.
