God Created [Spirituality & Religion]

I will be removing all rude and condescending comments.

There are currently 829 comments and so many of them are rude and condescending!

Currently, there is a rather misleading thread which asks...

"For my creationist friends who reject that evolution has occurred: What do you consider to be the best COUNTER-EVIDENCE that evolution has occurred?"

This question is misleading. Most Creationists believe that God created a world with many Kinds of creatures and that these creatures multiplied and grew in diversity. We believe that God used genes as building blocks for creatures in the same way that we might use cement to build very different structures. Similarities between creatures that are of different Kinds are simply the result of having the same building blocks. A dome structure and a skyscraper might both use cement but the similarity means nothing. It means nothing in biology as well.

Similarities between organisms might be used to classify organisms but using similarities to make assumptions about origins is ridiculous!

I am, however, thankful that God gave each Kind of creature the genetic ability to become diverse. So, we have many kinds of birds... many breeds of dogs... etc. Some call this ability evolution... but it does not imply that dogs came from an ancient bacterial ancestor. lolol.

So, does evolution occur? Yes, within each Kind of animal, of course! Does that mean that Darwin's dream might have merit? Of course not. The intricacies of nature and the masterful use of genetic building blocks implies a Creator... an organic architect and engineer.

When did God do all this creating and when did he stop?

I’m trying to understand how your loose description of evolution contradicts Darwin.

@JoeyFoxx

Hot tip - when ever you begin your question with "So, "- question your own honesty in the question you are about to ask. It's a red flare to all reading your question.

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Budwick thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.

Can you help answer the question?

Budwick · 70-79, M

@JoeyFoxx Taking the word "So" out of the sentence doesn't not remove the negative reasons for you asking the question.

As I recall God's Creation took six days.
The seventh day he rested.

It's not Biblical, but I'm pretty sure cynical disbelief began on day 8.

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Budwick whenever you can’t find a proper answer to a question, you take shots at me or ascribe perspectives to me that I do not possess.

When did God’s evolution start?

5 thousand years ago?
10 thousand?
A million?
100 million?

I am merely seeking context.

It's not Biblical, but I'm pretty sure cynical disbelief began on day 8.

At day 8, there were only 2 people walking around.
And according to scripture, they were literaly walking around with god in the garden... Do you think Adam and Eve were that stupid characters to not believe the character they were walking around with? And when the snake asked Eve to eat the fruit of the tree, do you think there would be a conflict before she ate if she didn't believe in the person that set up "the rules" in the first place?

@Budwick
Yes, good point The hatred of God started as soon as they were thrown out of the Garden and Cane Killed Abel! It’s just a rebellious spirit that hates God when he gives favor to others! But God has promised that “Everyone who comes to me I will not cast out”

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Kwek00 You know there are some people that are REALLY stupid and don't believe in God at all!

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Carazaa I don't hate any gods

Carazaa · F

@JoeyFoxx Good to know! But only one took your sins away and that’s Jesus!

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Carazaa the only person that has ever existed that can account for my wrong doings is me.

Carazaa · F

@JoeyFoxx So Jesus was tortured for your sins so you don’t have to be🙂

Budwick · 70-79, M

@JoeyFoxx

the only person that has ever existed that can account for my wrong doings is me.

That's the very reason you would be sunk without Jesus.
There's no way for you or me or anyone to make restitution for all our sins. Our salvation is only possible through Jesus Christ - the Son God.

Carazaa · F

@Budwick Amen!

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Carazaa I fear for those that don't 'get it'.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick

You know there are some people that are REALLY stupid and don't believe in God at all!

What point where you trying to make, because this makes no sense in the context of the coversation.

That's the very reason you would be sunk without Jesus.
There's no way for you or me or anyone to make restitution for all our sins. Our salvation is only possible through Jesus Christ - the Son God.

You are aware that this is only true, if what you believe is true.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Kwek00 Yes.
Do you think you've found a loop hole?

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick So you are not going to answer the first part?

If the believes that christianity holds aren't true... then I don't need a loophole Budwick. 🤷‍♂️ I don't need to squirm out from annything that doesnt excist.

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Budwick For those aboriginal communities that have never been taught about the Christian god, are they going to suffer eternal damnation?

Carazaa · F

@JoeyFoxx No God says “ the firmament declares his glory”

Budwick · 70-79, M

@JoeyFoxx For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God himself has made it plain to them.

But, you are welcome to go and witness if you wish.

Carazaa · F

@Budwick Yes good point, thats why God sends missionaries !

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Budwick and if the aboriginal communities witness all that you ascribe to a god, and do not conclude there is a god, should they be condemned?

Budwick · 70-79, M

@JoeyFoxxNo excuse.

Read Romans 1:20
…19For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. 21For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.…

JoeyFoxx · 56-60, M

@Budwick In other words, when people see beauty in the world and develop a very similar standard for moral behavior as what you claim to believe, but ascribe it not to a god, but to a sense of duty we owe our fellow man to make this world a better place... these people are to be condemned because, in your words, there is

No excuse.

Gotcha.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@JoeyFoxx Joe - I am not trying to attach 'mans moral behavior' to God. I think mans immoral behavior is pretty clearly his own doing.

I was referencing the recognition of God's existence is available to all. Some like you apparently have decided to look away - your choice.
