Can You Believe in God and Evolution?

If you think so, bishop of your own church with one atheistic member. For sure I have to warn everyone to follow your wrong way. Never forget that everything all around is word of god - is creation. And it is good. We are not living only in our own psychological matrix - life all around and everywhere is the deeper reality we are a part from. A Christian without other people - without church - is not thinkable. If someone reads something and another one reads the same sentences then there are often very big differences in the experiences and interpretations. Nothing is understandable for reasons of its own - we have to learn, to study, to look, to search, to find, to discuss and so on and so on - it's often very difficult to find the truth - and you are for sure not in a priviledged position. We are all responsible in the eyes of the Lord. Everyone.

But the Bible makes no mention of dinosaurs. Based on your logic about evolution, since the Bible doesn't say it, it is a lie. So, to be cinsistent with your beliefs, you can't think dinosaurs existed because the Bible doesn't say so.

So: Why is "life" possible? And is it good or bad that life is possible?

Evolution has been proven?

The "Skeletal Remains" that were trotted out as proof of evolution 100 years ago, were recently dismissed by genetic evidence that it was a Human Body and skull with a Monkey's Jaw.

So far there's been ZERO Genetic evidence produced in the Human Genome Project to prove there's ANY mechanism FOR evolution.

If anything, the opposite has been found to be true. Most of our Genome acts as a buffer AGAINST change.

So far there's been over 4500 genetic mutations cataloged, only 4 (like an adaptation to high Cholesterol) have been proven to be of any help, most are defects that are causing DEGRADATION of our DNA.

Finally, let's go back to the very beginning, the Big Bang.

You MUST believe in Magic that somehow a tiny little spec went BANG and created the universe, that somehow SOMETHING came out of NOTHING, but not even that. Where did the spec come from?

 

there are scientific explanations about how life came to be - none of which means that God does or doesn't exist - and it doesn't say WHY life happened, although my understanding is that some scientists believe that eventually, with the concoction of atoms around, it would have happened eventually.

Is it good or bad?

well - personally I think it is good - but in the grand scheme of the universe, it may not matter at all.

of course, if I believed in God would think it was good, too.

 

oh for God's sake what rock have you been hiding under for the last 50 years?

there is HEAPS of evidence for evolution.

go and read some of the threads on this forum that deal with that, and look at the links provided by educated posters.

 

So.

No, thats based on your logic, not mine. The Bible doesn't say a lot of things. But what it says is true.

I have presented this before but Im not sure if it was on this forum or another. It gets rather lengthy, so Im inclined to start a new thread for it as this one is probabably on the verge of being stopped due to its length already.

Unfortunately, you don't have to have fallen behind in order to think like in NoSocialism.com's example. It's being fed to young people as we speak.

I'm pretty sure that NoSocialism.com has been raised thinking that the apologetics that he/she now spouts off actually represent the best state of the art education available.

 

If everything would be true what's written in the bible then no one had to think about the problems and the decisions the people had to do in their times - so it's for me personally clear that not everything is true what's written in the bible - because otherwise would exist an automatism and no one had to search for truth any longer. Word of god is written in the bible - from human beings and not from god himselve. It's word of god how human beings understood god. Not to forget: It's not over - the bible is a very important book, but it is not the one and only book of the christian religion.

By the way: an example of a word in the bible that needs an interpretation and/or a decision:

Matthew 12.30: He that is not with me is against me
Marcus 9,40: For he that is not against us is on our part

But you don't believe in evolution because it's not in the Bible. So whats up with you believing in dinosaurs, even though they aren't mentioned either?

It's not my logic. I'm not an ignorant fundementalist fool. This is all you and your thoughts.

All this talk about literalism made me think of a short story by Isaac Asimov titled "How it Happened"...
