You say you want an evolution?

[Chris†opher Paul]

Morat-

I am NOT a YEC...in fact, I don't even know how old the Earth really is...as there is contradictory evidence. The truth is, is doesn't really matter to me...

Respectfully, I believe I know more about science than a 12 year old home schooler.

Do you even know how the earth is dated?

You have hit the nail on the head!!

None of this truly even matters.

The only reason to promote evolution, which will forever remain unproven, is so that man can be free of God. If we do not owe our life to a Creator than we are under no obligation to him. It must be comforting than for an Atheist to believe that he will not meet with judgment.

Such is the folly of a stone!

  So what, exactly, is your explanation for all those Christians happily working in biology? Are they all closet atheists?

  Evolution is a natural explanation for life's diversity. It's no different than chemistry, geology, cosmology, astronomy, or any other branch of science. It does, however, seem to anger a lot of fundamentalists and is thus constantly attacked and maligned.

  Still, I'll be waiting for you to explain how all those Christians (like Miller) can work in and promote evolution.

I can live withotu God and without evolution.
Hm perhaps the universe and earth wasn't created by God but by Odin as one of three universes?
Or perhpas the universe was created by some Hindu deity and the Hindu creation myth is the true one.
OAnother option is the ancient Greek theory.


See? I can be a creationist withotu being Christian, therefore not abonding teh notion, that some sort of God(s) created the universe and mankind.

 

[Morat]

  You can't believe in Creation without a Creator (a God or Gods). More importantly, you can't believe in a specific version of Creation (like YEC Creationism) without being a member of that faith. Leastwise, I've never heard of any exceptions.

   However, people of all religions (and of none) happily and easily work with evolution daily.

Yep...the rest is just details...and interesting conversation. Besides, there is always the slightest chance we can use it to convince people.

When you "Got Jesus?" its all good.

 Spanish Inquisition? What do they teach kids these days? He was covered in my purely secular, state-run, public school.

Ah, thanks. Although I don't know why I would be equated to a torturous person.

I didn't intend to equate you with Torquemada. I apologize if you interpreted it that way.

I merely meant to point out the folly of using God/Jesus to justify your actions, as Torquemada did.

Hey-

Sorry for appearing critical to you. Its nothing personal, and I didnt know you were twelve when I responded.

I was just pointing out a mistake in your assertion. These debate forums are not a gentle place...perhaps you want the Christian only forums?

Did you see this Puppy Love?
