  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why is evolution taught in our schools?

So all you have as evidence for design is quotes of scientists explaining why it is not a design and a quote of a failed scientist. Not too impressive.

You can't even properly define design much less find it.

Now you are making the error of reinterpreting the Bible in light of today's knowledge.

Amen, since God hid His scientific Truth in Genesis and I found it. In the last days God is pouring out His Spirit of Truth upon ALL flesh. Joe 2:28 and Act 2:17 Future scientific discoveries are coming soon so that NO person can deny them since they are coming by the discoveries of Science, just before Jesus returns. They confirm the scientific Truth of God hidden in Genesis.

Worse yet you are contradicting yourself by using evolution, which you deny to support your incorrect claim.

Descent with modification within kinds is what you refer to as evolution. Evolution is not a scientific fact but instead is a false assumption which is incomplete, untrue and soon to be disgraced.

You need to learn how to properly interpret the Bible. No cheating by looking ahead allowed.

Actually, the entire Bible is written in past tense. When we open it and read it in Heaven, we will truly appreciate, that Scriptural Fact. Since God sees the end from the beginning, He wrote our complete History before the first Day. Our God is an Awesome God, His name is Jesus.

No, quotes of scientists that recognize design when they see it, then try everything they can to explain why it really isn't design they see, but just looks that way.

Don't believe your lying eyes people, instead believe the lies the design you see isn't actually design.....

Sure I can. Those scientists could find and define it too, they then just pretended what they just saw and defined was not really what they saw and defined.

You know, double-talk. The evolutionists best friend.....

Agreed. They stand on and use biblical principals such as morality and logic but then deny it in the next breath.

I always find this apologetic humorous. It's almost as if the claimant thinks societies before the Bible didn't have logic, laws, ethics or standards of conduct.

I wonder how the civilizations of India, China and Greece, Rome, Carthage, Persia, Akkad, Sumer etc. etc. survived without "biblical principles such as morality and logic".

So why do all the atheists spend so much time trying to disprove what they firmly say "does not exist"? If God does not exist like you say you believe, then why would someone even spend one second of their life trying to convince themselves of something's non-existence? Where is the logic in that? By your own submission its illogical...

Prove its not a religion. Its illogical for you to expect anyone to believe you because "You said so."

As has been stated. Evolution is no more a "religion" than plate tectonics, dynamo theory, relativity or germ theory of disease. All of them are known and understood phenomena supported by large amounts of evidence. Calling evolution is "religion" is simply asinine.

There is plenty of evidence that has been presented in this forum and is available for anyone with an iota of curiosity. I made a thread last year where the first 10 posts or so are me posting various pieces of evidence for evolution.
The evidence for evolution for Kenny'sID thread

Tell me, does an atheist believe there is no God?

Off topic. The topic of this thread is evolution.

@46AND2 But then why the title of "Atheist"? By ones own representation of a claim to a particular group there seems to be a need for cohesion to their standard. By its definition of:

atheism (āˈthē-ĭzˌəm)

  • Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods.

  • The doctrine that there is no God or gods.

I have no idea who you're talking about. It certainly isn't me because I spend zero time "trying to disprove" any religious claims and I sure as heck don't "firmly say does not exist". Would you like to actually have a discussion with me or would you rather stick with the straw atheist in your head?

If God does not exist like you say you believe, then why would someone even spend one second of their life trying to convince themselves of something's non-existence? Where is the logic in that? By your own submission its illogical...

What does any of this nonsense have to do with the fact that societies and civilizations long before encountering the Bible or the Bible even existing had and used logic, laws, ethics and standards of conduct that and thus the claim that those are based "biblical principles such as morality and logic" is false?

And what does any of this have to do with Why evolution is taught in our schools? The forum rules require that responses be on topic and atheists or atheism are not the topic of this thread.

This thread is about why evolution is taught in our schools. Why are you posting inaccurate dictionary definitions of atheism when that is not the topic of the thread?

" Evolution is a religion. Yes, evolution is the faith of atheism because it replaces God with man. When you've conned yourself into believing that some kind of ancient slime morphed into progressively complex and directional life forms, you are in the realm of faith, not science."

"There is plenty of evidence that has been presented in this forum and is available for anyone with an iota of curiosity. I made a thread last year where the first 10 posts or so are me posting various pieces of evidence for evolution."

I have read all of your copy and pasted evidence long before you copy and pasted it.

Evolution is a religion.

Repeating a lie does not make it the truth. It has been explained to you. Evolution is no more "religion" than plate tectonics, dynamo theory, etc. I'd suggest you stop repeating this lie.

Yes, evolution is the faith of atheism because it replaces God with man.

Why do you keep screeching about atheists? There are millions of religious people, including Christians, who not only accept evolution but vigorously and vociferously defend it.
BioLogos
And how in the world does evolution - which Creationists are constantly screaming that evolution says humans or "just animals" - replace God with man? That makes zero sense.

When you've conned yourself into believing that some kind of ancient slime morphed into progressively complex and directional life forms, you are in the realm of faith, not science."

A straw man wrapped in vacuous rhetoric. I always see this sort of blovaition from Creationists by they never can back it up by actually falsifying or in many cases even addressing the evidence.

I have read all of your copy and pasted evidence long before you copy and pasted it.

Your vacuous rhetoric in lieu of presenting evidence says otherwise.

I'm guessing the definition in bullet point two, which you purposely omitted, is probably the definition i subscribe to.

I am both

agnostic (lack the KNOWLEDGE of the existence of god)

And atheistic (lack the BELIEF of the existence of god)

The scriptures themselves

No, those are the claims.
The evidence in support of those claims would necessarily have to come from another source.

Unless you don't mind fallacious circular arguments, off course.

It would be so cool if you could explain 1. what relevance your reply had to what I had written and 2. why there is no evidence for the creation tales.
