We're Christians. We believe what the Bible says. If you want to know what we believe, try starting with Genesis.
Read the Creation Science section. We're not here to do your homework for you.
Also, learn how to spell "atheist". Look at the etymology of the word. "A- theist", having no gods. Not "athi- est", or the "most athi", whatever that would mean.
|
I do understand the etymology of the word, from the greek, theos. Unfortuantely my typing doesn't.
As i said before in this thread, I can find out what you belive, and perhaps why you belive it, from reading the bible. I, however, am not passionate about the bible [i dont mean that in a disrespectful way], so i would like to add the fire that is in your belief to the passion that is my acceptance.
Also, i dont really understand your first comment, but thank you for helping me.

I think that sums it all up. OK, stuff happens in the middle and you need to read an understand that bit. However, the advantage is that once you do understand it all, then there is no reason to know anything else.
|
Did you look those up, or do you know them off the top of your head?
One of the major problems for me is having to find bible quotes to back up the opinions of people; would you happen to know any that specifically say that Evolution is incorrect? Or any that may suggest otherwise?
Thank you for giving me your knowledge of the scripture, it is invaluble, and i know that you hold the bible in the highest regard, but what other proof do you have?
Whenever i re-read these posts they all sound so patronising, i asure you that they are not designed to be, and i hope that i take nothing away from your holy book when i ask for alternative proofs.

Go here:
www.biblegateway.com
Read the first five chapters of Genesis. It should take you less than 10 minutes.
God created everything. That means that it didn't evolve from mud.
Microevolution -- within a genus -- is accepted. Dog breeding is one prime example. This is exactly what Darwin supported.
If you bothered to read "On the Origin of Species" before writing a paper on evolution, you'd know that Darwin never suggested that evolution explained life "evolving" from raw chemicals, which came from an explosion of nothing into something.
Macroevolution -- a fish "evolving" into a dog -- is not accepted by Christians.

thank you so much; this is exactly the kind of thing i am looking for:
shades of grey within the two subject areas, and the differences between them.
However, i have read Genesis, and On the Origin of Species; i would be foolish to try and write a report without doing so.

Then why are you claiming that Darwin denied God's existence and believed that all life came from an explosion of nothing into something?

I dont think that i did; i happen to know that darwin was a highly devout man who delayed the pubishing of his book because he thought it would be damaging to his faith.
Im also not claiming anything on this forum, just asking you to claim things.

Then why put evolution AGAINST creationism? Why not show how they work together?
And you still haven't asked us an actual question.

I asked it, because that is the exam question which i have been set:
Discuss the conflict Between Science and Religion with reference to Evolution and Creationism.
The issue is not with Creationism or Evolution, it is just that, in my opinion, the confict being asked in the question is more pronounced between Evolution and Creationism than any other topic; others on this site call it Evilution.
"Creationists ask if people believe in evolution. Evolution is a theory and a fact. You accept it because of the evidence. What the creationists have done is put a cloak of pseudo-science to wrap up their religious belief."
James Williams, a lecturer at Sussex University
you asked for a question: how do you react to that quote? Is it a fair analysis, or is it putting all Creationists into one box?
Also, do you have an official position within the church? Not that it matters, just so i can give you your full title should i quote you in an essay.
thank you.

That is because evolutionists claim the Bible is false.
They often then claim that they are Christian and believe in God, while denying that the Bible is true. This confuses people, who then think they can have both.
God is all or nothing.

Which is it? A theory, or a fact?
Does Mr. Williams not know the difference?
There is ample evidence of micro-evolution. We agree with that. Look at the black/white moths case study. (I'll let you dig that up.)
There is limited evidence of macro-evolution. Never once have the so-called "missing links" been found, for example. How is something a "fact" when you don't have full evidence?
Further, if monkeys evolved into humans through "natural selection", why is it there are still monkeys co-existing with humans, where they supposedly "evolved"? If the human was superior, why did the monkey continue to persist? Does that not argue directly against the "natural selection" theory?
Finally, evolution (change in time within animal and plant species) is used by atheists like yourself to explain the origins of life. In no way has it ever been shown that life can arise spontaneously, but evolutionists are all-or-nothing. They claim that because a dog can be cross-bred with other dogs to create a new breed, or that the dominant coloration of a population of moths changes over time as those who match their surroundings survive or do not, that it means that several chemicals struck by lightning can create complex living organisms.
Where did the chemicals come from, and the lightning? Evolution has no explanation other than "a big explosion of something from nothing".

I suggest you watch a TV program that Sir David Attenborough made for the BBC called Darwin and the tree of life. It is probably on Youtube. It shows you evidence for missing links.
I am aware of the Black White moth case, and the reason why there are monkeys and humans co-existing is the same reason that there is grizzley bears and polar bears; the evolved in order to adapt to different conditions.
I have never read anywhere that evolutionists claimed that chemicals struck by lightning created life- wasnt that frankenstein? Anyway, the theory of evolution does not attempt to explain the birth of life, just its, ahem, evolution.
I belive that Dr. Williams was saying that it is something that you accept, rather than something you belive; a theory, and a fact, rather than a belief, and opinion.
Do you have a position within the church? Also, do you feel that the quote unfairly views all Creatonists as the same- trying to find science to back up their claims?

No, this merely shows lies designed to turn people from God.

Rubbish! God made them like that and Adam named them.

No it wasn’t but I’m glad to see your young mind is not totally corrupted with the evil of secular science

Kneeling before Christ.

No, they are not the same, none of them agree. They all have their own “theories”

No, they are enemies of God bent on the work of the devil.

Thank you Ezekiel Bathfire, and although i can see you are very strong in your faith, could you re-write the same message as if you were preaching to the uniniated? There is nothing in there that i can quote in an essay. Maybe you could just build upin what you said?

Now I get it. You're here to see if you can find ridiculous quotes you can use to poke fun at us.
Later, punk.
(Thanks, Star Finder, for translating from "atheist God-mocker" to English.)

Won't his teacher be surprised when she googles his paper and finds he stole references from here.
Can we just call her and warn her?

ETHICSTUDENT:
Im sorry you all think that i am trying to make you into some kind of joke.
I detest Dawkins and Wilson etc because their books are just mediums through which to spout their own opinions, rather than give a detailed study of the subject.
My point 'Mr Smarty Farty', was that if you draw one line with only 2 points, if one of the points is wrong, your line is wrong, whereas if you draw 3, you can be sure that the line is correct. This is basic maths.
It is interesting that most of you were civil towards me before he joined the thread; sudenly because he makes up a fake quote about me, you all belive that i am making a joke.
As for the latin, Nobar kindly picked me up on a spelling error; it doesnt mean that i am gay, thank you.
Also Nobar, i belive that a man of your intellect should realise that i wont be ripping my essay verbatim of of this website- how could i, that would hardly be objective. Quoting philosophers and theologians is perfectly acceptable, but it seems that the only theologian here with a position in the church can only say that his BENEVOLENT god jsut randomly want people to go to hell.
I hope that, if you take anything from this, you will realise the reason why you are made into pariahs in the press; you cannot be civil to people with conflicting beliefs to yours; i can get on fine with muslims, hindus, gay, straight, anyone- i might not like what they stand for, but i can at least talk to them without thinking that they will twist my words and make me look stupid.
You might think that i am an 'Atheist God -Mocker', but i have tried very hard to not offend you on this website, considering i am (was?) a guest in your religious website. I am under no illusion that you would grant me the same respect on an Atheist forum.
No-one but the examiner and my teacher would ever see this essay- it would not have been in my interest to make you look stupid, i was just trying to find Creationist opinions from people who are not 300 years old, like the christian philosophers i can quote from today.
I hope that your twisted opinions of me, Star Finder, help to boost your already poor rating with this site. I find it ironic that he has a worse rating than me, but is not banned.
Whilst i understand that, for most of the time, you are 'preaching to the converted' in Landover, surely you must realise the importance of debate, if only to further your own ideas.
This thread had been achiveing so much- i felt that, through the contributions by JennyD, Nobar, and, to an extent, Bathfire, i was starting to collect relevant information and opinions, and my personal feelings about extremistic christians were beggining to mellow. Im afraid that Star Finder, and people like him, are the people who are making Creationists look stupid.
I feel that my treatment here was unjustified; i am not the worst atheist on this formum by no means, and i did not make you, or ask you at all to question your faith.
Thank you, all of you who helped me. I feel sorry for those of you who feel so insecure in your convictions that you cannot debate them with me.
I will still post the final draft of my work on this thread.
