EVOLUTION-Does anyone have quick lines to paste into facebook or the like

[Boo]

We would not have to debate evolution much if we'd all admit our own ignorance of events in the past.

We are not told in scriptures when the earth was created, because scriptures don't tell us when the heavens and the earth was made. Scriptures only allude to events that took place before God put light on Earth. Before that, we are not given the history. Fossils, bones, etc, etc, can be on earth from before day one of scriptures.

Because of that, I have no problem rectifying in my mind the truthfulness of scriptures. It is because I am ignorant to the details of what happened before "God said, let there be light." I do know, however, what transpired from that point on.

about evolution which can cause unbelievers to think a bit harder?
Please let me know where, or post them.

Prove that one million DNA base pairs became 3 BILLION base pairs.

(Their only answer is that once or twice in history has a mutation been observed that has any positive effect on any organism, however even these have not involved significant increases in the length of the DNA, and so this shows that their entire hypothesis is not even close to being proven, its just basically guesswork)

If the rock formed from recent volcanic explosions show ancient radioactive dates, surely the whole world could be recent if the whole world is showing old dates?

"Evolution doesn't disprove God. If God is omnipotent, God could have created us via evolution."

Secular Evolutionists believe it does. Evolution could have been used by God but wasn't as it is contrary to the gospel.

No it's not. The Gospel is that Jesus is King and he conquered sin through his death on the cross. The Gospel has nothing to say about evolution.

"To say the world created itself is like saying New York city built itself."

"To say the world created itself is like saying the unabridged dictionary resulted from an explosion in the printing shop."

"Just as behind every watch there had to be a watchmaker, so behind the intricate precision of this great universe there had to be a great designer and creator."

This is a quote from a leading evolutionist: "Although I am a firm believer in the theory of evolution, we, as honest scientists, must admit that we have yet to discover one single tiny speck of concrete evidence to prove it."

There is no evidence whatsoever to prove the evolutionary theory. That's why it's still called a theory. A theory is something put forth that they haven't been able to prove.

Since there is no proof of evolution, that means it is something that has to believed by faith. Which makes the theory of evolution a religion, not a science.

Evolution and Creation are not mutually exclusive sciences with their own evidences. They have the same evidences; the same stars, comets, fossils, strata, oceans, etc. They even have the same scientific methods; palaeontology, anthropology, geology, biology, etc. The only other thing that is mutually exclusive is their worldview. No matter what evidence, or scientific method you throw out there is a rescuing device that they can come up with.

For instance, comets' trails are caused by ice melting and debris being subsequently released from the flying rock-sicle. Creationists say that if the universe were billions of years, the comets would be long gone by now. Evolutionists say no there must be a cloud of comets out beyond our vision that sometimes sends a comet our way where it gets caught in our sun's orbit. This cloud is known as an Oort cloud named after the man who fabricated such a story. Why? Because to the evolutionist worldview the universe IS that old so such a cloud has to exist. No matter how you argue, there will always be some made-up rescuing device that is in no way proven but necessary for the worldview.

What should probably be addressed is not the evolutionist evidences or methods but his worldview. That is the heart of the conversation and I have not heard one argument that can stand up to the biblical worldview.

As far as the few here saying theistic evolution is possible I would like to add Exodus 20:9 "For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day". Without one shred of evidence that evolution on a grand scale has occurred, why in the world should we even consider it when the God you believe in said "all that is in" the sky, land and sea was created in 6 literal days. It takes more faith for me to believe men who have come closer to disproving their own theory than even rationally explaining it, than to believe the statements of the God who not only witnessed the events of the creation but caused them. Gotta go with the tried and true word of God on this one.

Darwinists and Christians both share the same basic belief: You have to grasp onto what sustains life the longest

I don't know how unbelievers get rid of guilt but God takes care of mine.

Wasn’t it sin that brought death (Rom. 5:12)? So, how could animals have been dying before Adam fell?

[tango]

Rom 10:8-9 NKJV But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): (9) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.


I don't see anything in there about having to have figured out the precise details of how we got here.

As I see it the Bible tells us what God did rather than providing excruciating levels of detail about how God did it.

At the very least, 'death' was still an inherent part of creation. Plants died to become food for animals or humans. Animals died to become food for other animals. Sin brought death to humanity in particular; that 'leaves room' for plant and animal death to be a part of how the world worked even before the onset of sin.

The original question is the height of irony. Asking for a question to make evolutionists "think" about their stance, and pretty much indicating that the OP has not thought about it enough to come up with the question on his own. Rest assured, they WILL ask you questions that you can't answer. Don't go into battle into areas where you're ignorant - a little humility will serve you well.

How long will Christians waste their time dealing with evolution? Its truth or falseness is irrelevant to the existence of God or the Truth of His word.

Yep, exactly. :-)

Some will not accept God's design no matter how scriptural or scientific you are. I suppose a good starting point is to ask where the Big Bang (or Creation Event) came from since nothing except an eternal God could have created it.
As for evolution, what did evolution evolve from? Evolution is a consequence of Creationism - this is what atheists can't abide. Let's not forget about the power of faith, there is no faith in adding 2 + 2 = 4.
