    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    You mean the first three chapters? Did you know that Genesis is much more than the creation story? That's a lot of stuff. For a good account by an early theologian admired by Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christians alike: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Genesi_ad_litteram

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    If you consider allegory and parables to be "mere", you've missed the message God has for you. His allegories and parables are eternally true. Jesus died because we needed a savior. No sacrifice humans could do would atone for the sin we were under. A perfect sacrifice by a sinless...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    About 70% of Americans are Christians: https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/united-states/ Which seems like "much of America." It is true that since YE creationism was invented by the SDAs, many Christians now wrongly think that YEC is an essential part of our faith. It's true...

    Actually, they punish themselves. Sinners intentionally remove themselves from God. And that is the punishment. But do you honestly think God decided to put countless trillions of animals though suffering and death to get even with Adam for his transgression? How could you even...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    But God says that's how life started. And scientists are beginning to realize that's exactly how it happened. Why not just accept it His way? And yet the Bible says from dust you are and to dust you will return. If you think about it, you'll probably be able to figure out why that makes...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    (regarding the idea that since God could create all things instantly, He is obliged to do so) God is not obligated to poof living things into existence, even if He can. He doesn't. Humans have to use algorithms to copy things that God does by creation. Many things by evolutionary processes...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    I have to yet again remind you that God is omnipotent. I don't think you've considered this carefully. An omnipotent being would be, by definition, omniscient. First you decide that God can't do things He says in Genesis, and then you want Him to be omniscient. Pick one and stay with it...

    You just object to the way He did it. He says He did. I believe Him. You should, too.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Nope. I just exposed your dodge. YEC is more than a belief in a young Earth. As you learned, the SDAs invented YEC in the early 20th century. Blaming Adam for death and suffering of animals is borderline blasphemous. Sorry, the idea that man forced God to harm animals isn't realistic...

    God made nature to do just that. YE creationists don't approve of it, but He doesn't seem to care. You don't think earth is natural? I think we've found the problem.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    God didn't give us details. But we're learning about it. It was a shock to YECs when it was found that evolutionary processes work more efficiently than design for complex problems. If God was not omniscient, He would have had to use design, not evolution. My God is more powerful than the...

    You don't think you're a creature of God? Nature is the way God creates living things. God says that it did.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    God made it for that purpose. Sorry, the idea that man forced God to harm animals isn't realistic.

    Don't confuse a belief in a very young Earth with the doctrines of YE creationism.

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    If it did, evolutionary theory would be in big trouble. You see, evolutionary theory isn't about the origin of life. Even Darwin thought that God just created the first living things. Over the years, evidence has increasingly pointed to the first life being produced by the earth as God...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Which is more powerful, a God who creates nature to bring forth everything according to His will, (which is what He says in Genesis) or some little god who prances around, making a tree here and a rabbit there? My God is more powerful than the God of the YE creationists. No, I'm just observing...

    [__ Science __ ] The First Lie

    Nope. It's your doctrine. I don't know anything about what you think it says. You're confusing individuals with populations. Populations evolve. Individuals do not. It's yours, then. But given the many, many misconceptions you have about what evolutionary theory says, I really...

    [__ Science __ ] The First Lie

    YECs are always thinking of stuff that wouldn't fit the theory like hippo or bear to whale, or ant to beetle, or bee to dragonfly, or daffodil into redwood tree. As you learned, birds are dinosaurs. Remember, you couldn't name one characteristic of birds that isn't also found on dinosaurs...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    God is not obligated to do the miraculous to fit man's expectations. He does everything in the proper time, and it isn't always the same. Let Him decide. You don't think animals are God's creatures? Seriously? If God uses nature to make living things as He says in Genesis, why do you...
