I believe God created evolution just because he can and merely left it to it's own devices; I also believe heexists and watches what we do...

Please remember to flush twice; it's a long way to Landover.

Hello Miss Megan. You know, you can respond to bits of quoted text, just remember to wrap text in quote command either by highlighting the quoted bit and clicking on that little text icon next to the little picture icon, or by manually writing [quote] at the beginning of each quoted text and [/quote] at the end of it.

I believe God created evolution just because he can and merely left it to it's own devices;

This is interesting. So what you are saying now is that God merely created the first prokaryote 3.7 billion years ago and then He let it go, and let life evolve however it wanted, with all of the dumb evolutionary dead ends ranging from the hybrid eels and other weird extinct species to the very unintelligent design of human body.


That statement stands in clear contradiction to what you said earlier, quote:

I believe God when he created life merely told the animals be what you are created to be except cats.

So which one is it? Did God simply create the first living organism and allowed the mechanisms of evolution to act, or did He create different species separately as they appear today?


If your current position, cited previously, is what you really believe, then you render God practically useless - someone who has no control over what's going on in the world. If your previous position, as cited above, is what you really believe, then you should discard evolution and join the anti-science Bible thumpers such as this lovely church. I do recommend the Landover church in this regard as they are the church which treats the Bible more seriously than any other Christian denomination - and you should treat Bible seriously if you are taking the Christian creationist perspective that God created all animal species.

I also believe he exists and watches what we do with the freewill he gave us.

That's a very creepy idea of God you have there. Please explain, in your opinion, why does He only watch and not interfere? Does He not interfere because He actually enjoys watching humans inflicting pain on other humans, or because He's powerless and cannot interfere? If the former is correct then He is disgusting and not worthy of our worship. If the latter is correct than He's useless and worshiping Him is useless.

I do doubt the bible as being the ultimate word of God because again so many authors and cultures and such a span of time that It's mostly just questionable. It really reinforces the idea when we have countless examples in history of people using the bible as justification to sastify earthly desires.


It makes me question did God really command this or are we putting words into God's mouth?

Well, here's your problem: religions in general and Christianity/the Bible specifically are the only evidence we have that God exists. If you reject the Bible, or any other sacred text of any other religion, as a reliable proof of God's existence, then you are left without any evidence for His existence whatsoever - since science explains the origin of universe and the origin of life without any supernatural intervention.

You will see that this denies any Godly involvement in the settling of cornflakes, and if we accept such a heresy, then we will end with questioning what He does all day, let alone asking why there is a need for God!

From this follows the slippery path to The Gates of Hell in which the weak and gullible are persuaded by atheists that as “nothing exists without a reason, there seems to be no reason for God and thus there is no reason for God to exist”! Outrageous!

But this is precisely what you have done!
You have reduced God to a CCTV camera!

Exactly, Pastor Bathfire.

Have we encountered same sex couples dancing at Homeschoolers Proms? That is a topic that should be discussed on detail here.

What security measures can be taken? What fines or penalties can be levied?
