Creationists: Share with me your honest understanding of what Evolution is and how it works.

[b]Don't google it, don't give a snarky reply. Just share your honest understanding.

[/b]My general experience is that while creationists reject evolution, most of them don't have a very good grasp on what they're rejecting and certainly not the evidence they're rejecting, basing most of it on what they hear from their favourite youtube preachers.

Good grief! What a bunch of baloney. Cause we all know people got no learning that believe differently from you. Things evolve. No one rejects that. But a monkey being my great grandpa? Who bumped you on the head when you were a baby? Sorry! But sometimes…..

*Ahem*

"[i]Don't google it, [u]don't give a snarky reply[/u]. Just share your honest understanding.[/i]"

We'll call that strike one.
Would you like to try again?

If you want to have a discussion then i'm here for you. If you're content simply to insult people on the basis that you disagree then you may excuse yourself.
What'll it be?
@Pikachu The reason I replied was because of the insults you were using about people who don’t believe like you. Stop insulting us or grow up would be even better. You didn’t want an honest discussion.
@Evegpt

Can you go ahead and copy/paste what you felt were the most egregious examples of me insulting people on the basis that they don't believe as i do?
Or is that just you trying to shift my criticism of your post back on to me?

I'd love an honest discussion and to that end this is the last response i'll give you unless you demonstrate that you are interested in the same.
Go ahead.
No, I will not because people can read your original post. I mean no offense to you but you are dishonest. Have a nice night! 🙏🏻@Pikachu

[quote]you are dishonest

I think if you took the time to actually talk to me you would find otherwise.
But i guess you've passed judgement already.
You have a pleasant evening too🙂
@Evegpt the evolution theory doesn't claim your great grandpa was a monkey. Maybe you should read the basics of it before calling it a bunch of baloney... 🙄
@NerdyPotato

Yeah i can't tell if she's being facetious or if she genuinely doesn't understand.
I think probably the former but you never can tell. I have in the year of our lord 2022 had creationists earnestly come at me with "well if we evolved from apes then why are there still apes?"

....hence this thread lol

@Pikachu Some people have a very low threshold for perceived insults. They need to not be as sensitive and to educate themselves.
@Bushranger

lol yeah it was only reading back that i think she was offended by the perspective that many evolution-denying creationists don't understand evolution very well...but that's not an insult, that's my real world experience.

@Pikachu The most annoying thing is when you question their claims, you're accused of attacking them and/or twisting their words.
@Bushranger lol i do remember being accused of twisting words but i can't remember by whom

You need to learn to play nice yourself 🙂
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Carazaa I was being nice. Didn't call anyone names, just asked questions and challenged assertions. What's wrong with that?

Gossiping is not nice!

@Carazaa Not gossip, statement of fact.

@Bushranger Talking crap about others is gossip, fact or not!
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Carazaa If I was talking crap, you might be right.

@Bushranger Someone told me a long time ago, [quote]"If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all"[/quote]🙂

@Carazaa I much prefer, "the truth will set you free."
Carazaa · F
@Bushranger Not by hurting people!
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Carazaa When did I hurt anyone?
Carazaa · F
@Bushranger When you talk about Christians.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Carazaa Do you think you might be hurting some atheist with some of the comments that you have made about them? Is it fair to say that questioning atheists' opinions, or claiming that they can have no moral code, but not OK for an atheist to challenge a statement that contradicts observed reality?
Carazaa · F
@Bushranger I don't speak negative about people!
I think it's childish! If I am upset I tell people directly how I feel, or I challenge their claims. I have never said atheists have no moral code! I post what the Bible says here.
