why wait?

[Assyrian]

actually, the idea of evolution has been around since the ancient greeks. It's Darwin who discovered the mechanism for it to function. The idea didn't suddenly appear.

link? proof?

I realise you are quite capable of denying evidence even when we show you the very own words of church fathers like Athanasius and Hippolytus, but is this a credible enough source for you?

well the thinking of evolution was around long before darwin mad it popular. his grandfather wrote a pamphlet or a book on the topic, in fact as far back as the 6th century b.c. we have people proclaiming this very idea ('after the flood' by bill cooper)though it did not take root until darwin published his books.
people struggle with more than you know and earlier than you realize.

Why ever would you want to ask philadiddle for link and proof of something you already believe? You even admitted to philadiddle you believed it in your very next sentence.

i know how longit has been around but it never received any notice until darwin, which should give you a clue as to its falseness.

Like heliocentrism then. This idea has around since the time of the ancient Greek Aristarchus but wasn't treated with any credibility until Copernicus. Atomic theory dates back to India in the 6th century BC, but wasn't established until modern science came along. This is great archie in one fell swoop you have shown how to disprove evolution heliocentrism and the atom.

wrong again. i have made numerous requests for scripture to be posted that shows evolution is the method God used..so far zilch.

Have you forgotten all the times we answered this telling you that scripture no more has to show the earth produced living creatures through evolution, than it shows God places the sun in the heavens in a heliocentric solar system, that the sun appears to rise and set because the earth rotates, that the sun and moon keep their places in the heavens through gravitation, or that creatures are fruitful and multiply using double helix DNA?

1) it has been said by those who accept evolution that the 'truth' has suddenly appeared 150 years ago.
if this was so, why did God wait 8-10,000 years to disclose this 'truth'?

2) why would He use unbelieving men to contradict His holy and infallible word?

3)why would God use secular science which omits the supoernatural to provide answers naturally when naturally doesn't even come close to addressing supernatural events?

4)why would God say, 'the just shall live by faith' when He could have said, go to your science teachers and learn from them all that I have done?

5) why does God say do not follow the world and its thinking then turn around and use unbelieving men to originate and promote an idea about the originof life and th euniverse? that is hypocritical and sin?

6) what does that say about God?
.

1) For the same reason no one would teach quantum physics to a 3-year-old. We learn what we need to learn when we need to learn. There's a zen saying: "when the student is ready, the teacher appears". That's how God Show us the Wonders of this world

2) I fail to see any contradition in the findings of scientists on The world God Made and the Bible. Maybe in a strict, literal view of it, but there's plenty of other views that remain untouched. Analysing Genesis under the Cabballah, for instance: Adam (humanity) looses his aleph (symbol of Divine particle) and becames Dam (an anagram for the hebrew word for "blood"). So... no contradiction at all.

3) Because we learn studying the rule, not the exception. Let's say... the Illness X is cured, 99,5% of times, with antibiotic Y. 0,5% of he times it desapear on it's own. Of these few cases, 2/3 are explained by genetic predipositions. Ther rest is still beyond our knowledge.
Scientists keep looking at this fraction of unknow cures, but you have to agree that the best for the inflicted is to have the antibiotic.

4) Because He Knows the diference between the Spiritual and Earthly side of our lives?

5) God Wrote the book called Earth and Nature. Why humanity can't learn to read it, and follow only the opinion of ancient writers?

6) That He Cares about us and Our Development
