Can Christians believe in evolution? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Graylight Can you point out where in scripture?

@Graylight
If evolution had occurred, Jesus would've known about it and taught about it.

@GeistInTheMachine No, I can't, any more than I can point out where Jesus discussed homosexuality, because he didn't. You can't point out what isn't there.

@GeistInTheMachine
I believe Graylight was referring to Moses and the prophets.

@GodSpeed63 Homosexuality existed, and he didn't speak about that. Or gravity. Or the light spectrum, or distant moons, or viruses, or germs, or the Andes, or...

Is this really your argument?

@Graylight
Yeah, He did, in the OT and in the NT through the Apostle Paul.

@GodSpeed63 No, he is attributed with nothing in the OT and Paul spoke for Paul, not Jesus. Remember, it was Paul who advocated not marrying at all.

@Graylight
Read Leviticus.

@GodSpeed63


That seems like a flawed argument. By that logic If germs caused disease, Jesus would've known about it and taught about it.

@boopboop

Oh so you agree that AIG is a biased, intellectually dishonest source.
Good.

@Pikachu
Doesn't matter what it seems like to you, it's the truth. Jesus said to the Jews, "Before Abraham was, I AM!" Meaning: Jesus was with God before the foundations of the earth.

@GodSpeed63

By that logic If germs caused disease, Jesus would've known about it and taught about it.
But he didn't.
So give me a straight answer since you claim to do so: Do germs cause disease?

@Pikachu
He did know about it and He did something about by healing those who had diseases.

@GodSpeed63


No, no, no. You're moving the goalposts. You said if Jesus didn't TEACH about evolution then it wasn't true.
The scenario here is that if some significant scientific fact is true the Jesus would have known about it and TAUGHT IT.

So by your logic either germs do NOT cause disease since Jesus never taught it (arguably the most important advancement in medical history) OR a thing can be true even though Jesus DIDN'T teach it.

Do you understand?
If you say that evolution is true because Jesus never mentioned it then by the same reasoning, germs don't cause disease because Jesus never mentioned it.

Do you concede?

@Pikachu
Yes, yes, yes.

@GodSpeed63 No. Pikachu is correct. You're free to interpret the Bible any way you like, but in no way does that make it accurate, infallible or worthy to use in any scientific argument.

@Graylight
There's only one way to interpret God's Word and that belongs to Him alone. After all, He wrote it, not man. This is part of the reason we need to be born again so we can interpret God's Word the way it's meant to be interpreted.

@GodSpeed63 Says you. And I mean no disrespect, that but's hardly a majority world opinion.

@GodSpeed63


😏 Ah, so you do concede by default because simple contrarianism is not a counterargument.

The godspeed special: when you're intellectually outmaneuvered and backed into a corner, just pretend the argument was never made and respond to some trivial element of the post🤪

And you wonder why people think you're dishonest lol

@GodSpeed63 Unless you’re still getting it wrong.

@LeopoldBloom
Through His Spirit of Truth, I'm getting it right.

@Pikachu
You're day dreaming again, Pikachu. Snap out of it before you go over the deep end.

@GodSpeed63

Don't cry over spilled milk, kiddo. You had your chance to respond to the argument like a big boy and you backed down.
Let it go.😏

@Pikachu
Who says I'm crying over spilled milk? If any body is crying over spilled milk, it's you.
