hah i better stop myself be4 I go off on some tangent talking about how illogical it is to have a single creator that is both omnipotent and who created a world in which free will exists... infinity is not really, nothing is immortal.

I could make fun of your beliefs if I wanted to.... but we're more mature than that here... so you can save your energy for another time.

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

Yeah. I understand that many people have different opinions, but all in all I think it's most important that everyone believes in Jesus Christ rather than Creationism... The gospel of Jesus is the one thing I will never stop fighting for. Besides, I'm sure God will tell us in Heaven what really happened. We'll see who's right :) jk.

No, Evolution is not a proven fact;
a theory is not a series of proven theorums but only a series of tests (or observations) backed-up at times by successful, single experiments that may-or-may-not-be able to be repeated. How does this prove Evolution?

As to reading the Bible: most of the people in this discussion are Christians and yes, we read the Bible-- what is your point? Are you suggesting we use Google as a sort of reference for the Bible? :rolleyes::lol:

I agree with MattyD :)

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

I acutally don't like believing that we evolved from monkeys either, but this is our opinion. :)

Question> Before Pope John Paul II, he released a long statement promoting a new belief of God's Creation. According to the Pope, it is still OK to believe in evolution, as long as one still believes that the Universe itself was created by God (which I myself believe).

I agree.
Although my opinion is a little different ... I do believe we have somewhat evolved from what we were in the beginning, but not to the extent of being a monkey. I believe that God created the universe with Adam and Eve as described in the Bible... but I also think that we have changed since then...

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

I just don't like believing in something that says humans evolved from monkeys. But hey, that's my opinion, right?

So I have a question for you, if you are a Christian but you believe in evolution, what are your beliefs? Does that mean you don't believe in Creationism?

The Bible is meant to guide us through our daily lives. As a Roman Catholic, I'm taught that the Bible is only part of becoming closer to God (the other two parts are Prayer and community service). (From my religion) the Bible wasn't written to be proven (true or false; rather, it's a tool to get us closer to God.

Now yes, I know that you're probably not Catholic, but I'm simply stating my viewpoint.

That's not what I was trying to explain....

I understand the concept of natural selection. But just because you study something that might or might not be true... or if you observe something... you still make your own conclusions... so yes, what I said was just the simple form of that. He did study it and write essays about it... but it was still thoughts from his mind.

Evolution has come into many different conflicts with several beliefs. That's why it is not true. If it were indeed fact, then everyone would surely believe it. Everyone believes there is H2O in the atmosphere right? Of course! Because it is completely and utterly true.

Theories do not = fact.
They are simply a hypothesis of what could have happened if this or that took place.

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster


As for the bible, there are tons of lies throughout it. Have you even read it? As I mentioned before, the bible says the earth is about 6000 years old. However, it is actually about 4.5 BILLION years old. Scientists have discovered this through carbon dating and many other processes... And there are many more lies than this. Simply google it, and you will see.

Yes, I have read it once all the way through, and still read it. But once again, show me a scripture that has a "lie" in it.
And by the way:
Scientists and archaeologists both agree that the Bible is historically correct. They actually use it as a history book at times. Although it is not a science book, it is still true.

First off, Darwin’s theory of evolution is just that- a theory. But do any of you know what a theory is? A theory is a scientific hypothesis that has been tested thousands of times, and has been proven true every single time. Evolution is fact, and whoever denies this is a blind fool.

As for the bible, it is not literal... and not intended to be. There are several things throughout the bible that have been proven false (the age of the earth, for example). The Bible is simply a tool in which the ideas of Christianity are told through parables. Since we know there is some deceit in the Bible, the entire book is subject to deception and therefore we can't trust any of it.

You are wrong my friend.

Evolution has NOT been proven true as fact. It was a theory that came from one man's head, Charles Darwin. But how can you deny something that has been proven since the beginning?

Tell me this, where is there "deceit in the Bible," if you can tell me or show me a scripture that you believe is "deceitful" then please show. Otherwise don't talk unless you have something to back yourself up.

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

First off, I am a Fundamentalist Christian... which means I believe in the Bible as being literally true. It also means that I believe the universe is in existence because of a Divine Creator.

Creationism - an omnipotent and omniscient deity (GOD) created the world as written in the Bible; Genesis 1.

Evolution - humans evolved from lower life forms and turned into what they are today according to a theory made from a single man named Charles Darwin.

The Big Bang - the world was created by a cosmic explosion that pushed matter into all different directions and somehow created the universe.

The two most widely accepted theories are Creationism and Evolution. The problem with certain people is that they NEED proof to believe in something... such as creationism. Evolution is considered "naturalistic" while Creationism is considered "supernatural." But at the same time, evolution and creationism are both faith-based. Evolution has not been proved, so why believe it? The Big Bang has not been proved either, so why believe it? Creationism, however, is obviously proved. Look at the world around you. Look at the mountains, the sky, the clouds, the sun, the life that was given to you. Why try to find answers? Why ask questions? When the answer is clear, it's right in front of your eyes. If you are looking for scientifically proven answers, it is hopeless. Evolution, the Big Bang, and even Creationism will never be proven by scientists. So we have …
