Why is Christianity opposed to the theory of Evolution?

[Armoured]

No, that is not what I said. I pointed out that the article referred to was based on theory not fact.

Show us a single scientific understanding of anything, anywhere, that is based on fact, rather than theory?

 

[SteveB28]

No, that is not what I said. I pointed out that the article referred to was based on theory not fact.

Not what you said?

I have highlighted the keys words which are theorized, theorising, infer and theory. Notice, no facts only supposition. Please forgive me but I don't base anything on supposition or theory.

Why do you feel it necessary to tell such blatant mistruths? Is your argument so weak?

Sure. Genesis 1:20 shows that One God commanded that every living creature that moveth, be created and brought forth from the WATER. Gen 1:21 Science has learned that the cells within flesh cannot exist without liquid water.

Godless Science rejects this Fact and CLAIMS that life which came from the water, came about "Naturally". This means they also had to change the name from descent within "kinds" to evolution. These dreamers will say anything to support their False Religion of Evolution. Beware their lies. God Bless you

So you do believe in evolution. OK.

You should want to live in Australia. Alan Bond served time in an Australian jail for a $1.2 billion fraud.

He served a full 'one day' for each million dollars he defrauded. (We're not in the convict era now.) Link to news item below.

News item -- August 4, 2004
A former trusted lieutenant of Alan Bond helped carry out a $1.2 billion fraud that was astonishing in size and audacious in execution, a court was told today.

How is corruption reclaiming America?

Doesn't matter, as we're talking purely theoretical.

But if you want "real world" examples, well, bacteria don't die. Certain species of jellyfish don't die.

WHAT?!?

From where did you get your understanding that "bacteria don't die"? What species of jellyfish don't die?

 

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

What species of jellyfish don't die?

I assume he means this

Bacteria don't die. Of course, they can be killed, but they don't die. Wait a sec while I find the jellyfish...

Through asexual reproduction, the resulting polyp colony can spawn hundreds of genetically identical jellyfish—near perfect copies of the original adult.​

Through sexual reproduction I and someone else produce somewhat copies of myself. Because our genes live on, we don't die.

And I thought I had to go to heaven to live forever.

Well now you no better. Just be a jellyfish.

Do you mean I know better?
Or do you mean I am no better?


In any event, I don't have to be a jellyfish nor do I need to go to heaven to live forever.

I mant know.

And sure you don't. You could be bacteria or an alligator, too.

Alligator, you say? They don't senesce.

You go back far enough, and you will eventually get to the non-mammalian ancestors of dogs. Heck, go back far enough, and you get to single cell pond slime.

In someone's imagination at least.

Evolutionists push the point 'regarding many things' that although they may have the appearance of being designed for a purpose, there is no such intended purpose.
Example, we may eat an apple, or a mango and enjoy it. And it appears to us that it is designed as food. Evolution never intended to grow an apple or mango tree for us to enjoy. Evolution does not have a purpose.
.

Do you have a scientific definition, of what design actually is?

Do you have a falsifiable test, to determine when design is present?

Don't forget Dr. Kent Hovind. Very vocal Creationist. 10 years of jail time spent, for what? Taking out 10 k of his own bank account? That's what rapists get. Naw it was a smear campaign. At least be honest about it. http://www.hourofthetime.com/wordpresstest/who-is-kent-hovind-and-why-is-he-in-prison/ Plus, tell me why was his wife was thrown in prison?

You are missing a few facts about his case.

That's ok, I understand why.

 

[bhsmte]

It is. If "science" is biased, can we agree that you would need to show where 2/3 of scientists are biased?

Didn't you know, the 99% of Phd biologists who agree with evolution, all do so because of a world wide conspiracy?

 

[bhsmte]

Actually it doesn't bother me that you are a Creationist. People can disagree with me and I'm fine with it. I actually LIKE IT when people disagree with me becaue it makes me think. After all I might be wrong, and how will I ever correct myself if I don't talk with others who disagree?

What bothers me is your irrational thinking. The arguments you are making, your points about the Berkley statement, for example, and your statements that evolution is atheistic, are illogical.

Fundies choose comfort over logic.

 

[bhsmte]

How so? You say that you have no trust in ANYTHING "based on theory".

I point out to you that ALL science is based on theory.

How does it not follow, then, that you would distrust those things based upon scientific development?

What some folks don't realize, is how much they rely on scientific theories to be reliable for them, everyday of their lives.

 

[bhsmte]

No, that is not what I said. I pointed out that the article referred to was based on theory not fact.

How do you determine whether a scientific theory is reliable or not?

 

[Aman777]

How do you account for the fact that very many christians believe in biological evolution?

I blame it on reading Genesis through the eyes of ancient men who could NOT have known what Genesis was teaching. What I have learned from knowing this, is that it's all just a part of God's perfect plan. By hiding His Truth from mankind in Genesis, it insured that ONLY by Faith could one come to know God.

Today, there are so many stories being promoted and so many denominations claiming to know the real Truth, it is the SAME. ONLY by Faith that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him, can one be saved. Of course the biggest reason for Christians to believe in biological evolution is that they have been Forced to believe that Lie since the first time they went to School.

Biological evolution is nothing more than arrogant godless scientists changing the name from descent within His and Their kinds, into the word "evolution". They start with that REJECTION of Gen 1:20-21 and then proceed to dream up all kinds of lies to force upon our children. Amen?

So you do believe in evolution. OK.

I believe in descent with modification within His and Their kinds. Those who cannot define His and Theirs have NO idea what I am posting. Do you?
