No you aren't. You are directly insulting Christians who accept evolution. Which by the way, happens to be the overwhelming majority of Christians in the world. Saying the ToE is from Satan implies that those who accept it are followers of Satan. You constantly give us grief about calling Creationists dishonest, or stupid because they have no understanding of science, and yet you see no problem with calling us followers of Satan?
No, no, no. You may NOT put words in my mouth. I can differentiate between the belief and the person holding the belief. I'm sorry you don't understand that. I'm also sorry you don't see the difference between saying someone is mistaken and saying that someone is deliberately conning people and lying. By the way -- I would say that all of us have swallowed / are swallowing lies of satan all the time. For example, right now I'm struggling to correct an imbalance between my working and my family. I'm spending way too much time at work. At various times I have bought satan's lie that I should never say "no" to an assignment at work.
Is the Theory of Gravity also a subtle lie from Satan?
Oh, please. Not this old canard again. There is a huge difference between science that conflicts with the revelation of God and science that does not.
Considering evolution has far more evidence supporting it than gravity, logic would dicate that you dismiss the Theory of Gravity well. Otherwise you're nothing more than a hypocrite.
Actually I would strongly disagree that evolution has more supporting evidence.
Glad to know humility isn't one of your strong points. Does God usually reward know it alls?
Nice. I guess only evolutionists are allowed to express their viewpoints around here?
Of course, we all know the difference is your knowledge is based on your opinion, whereas evolution is based on solid evidence.
Nope! Evolution is NOT based on solid evidence. It is based on INTERPRETATION of evidence and CONJECTURE. I find the interpretation to have major flaws.
Creationism requires you to stop using your God given brain to accept something never intended to be taken literal. Do you think God is proud of you by rejecting the intelligence and reason he gave you? If we throw away our reason and intelligence, what is left to make us in God's image?
Not even close. I completely reject your characterization of evolution = intelligence and reason (and the implication that creationism = stupidity and non-reason). For hundreds of years, the Christians were at the top of intellectualism. It is logic, reason, evidence and faith that leads me to reject evolution.
Actually, Geology and Archaeology are far older than evolution. Geology was the first field of evidence that disproved the global flood. The person responsible for disproving that was a minister and creationist.
Yes they are. However, modern Geology and Archaeology have been very heavily influenced by evolutionary interpretations. Also, the flood has never been "disproved" -- that is also an old repeated false statement. If it has been disproved -- what is your evidence? Where is your case? Just calling it disproved proves nothing.
If science has proven so effective in the areas you do accept, don't you think you are being inconsistant by rejecting the science that just disagrees with your view? Think about that very hard laptop. Science has proven overwhelmingly successful in everything from the internet and engineering to medicine. And yet, despite it being so successful, as soon as science crosses into an area you personally disagree with, suddenly its hundreds of years of success comes crashing to a halt? That's called illogical.
NO. Again, I reject only the conclusions that stand in opposition to the explicit revelation of God. This is especially easy when there is no conflict between the physical evidence and the Scripture. Yes, there is a conflict between the interpretations of that evidence -- but not the evidence itself.
Adaptation is evolution. But seeing as you as well as most creationists refuse to actually learn the definition of evolution, you still refuse to accept that fact.
I am not talking about the narrow use of the word, but the broad one. In particular, I have no problem with mutations and variation -- to a point. Variation within a kind -- no problem. Beyond a kind -- never demonstrated. (and I've linked to technical discussions of the boundaries and definitions of kinds in the past -- it is an active area of research and discussion at this time.)
Of course, the truth is, you very well could be accepting your word over the truth of God.
It is about interpretation, because Genesis is an allegorical song written from an ancient mindset. Trying to just apply a 21st century view on it, and saying that's the only correct interpretation is downright arrogant.
I could very well be wrong. I'm human. Calling me arrogant is laughable compared to the arrogance and hubris exhibited around here every day. If I'm wrong when WE get to heaven, I'll buy the first round of sasparilla.
However, I'm not going to call the sky purple with green spots on it. Its blue. God caused the Scriptures to be written to man throughout the ages. He knew it needed to stand for a loooooong time. Jesus reaffirmed them. They have relevance and meaning to us. They are unique from every other ancient writing. They contain Truth. They portray actual events. (Yes, they also have parables, stories, word pictures, etc -- but those are not the sticking point, are they?) When the Scriptures present a global flood as real history, it IS real history, and it is supported by the physical evidence that we have all around us. God's Scriptures stand firm. They are NOT just the spiritual stories of ancient people. To claim that they are is to deny God's work. Just to make sure we didn't mistake them, He included information that the authors could not have known as validation and a sign that it was from Him, not them.
"You're all followers of Satan... but may Christ enlighten you"....
No. TEs are typically brothers and sisters in Christ who are mistaken on this point. Don't put words in my mouth. Yes, you have been lied to by satan. We all have, all the time. It is up to you to choose to value God's revelation over the fairytales of satan.
