For my Christian peeps: how much of evolution do you deny? [Spirituality & Religion]

@GodSpeed63


Well exactly.
It was written down by men of a time who could not possible have understood what genetics were and how traits were passed down.

They told the story in the terms the people of the time could understand.
Of course evolution happened. It takes too much faith to ignore the evidence at this point.
But that doesn't have to mean that god isn't ultimately behind it.

@GodSpeed63 I take it you just cut and paste these comments.

@Bushranger
yeah that one was pretty cookie cutter...

@Pikachu @Bushranger
What left field did that come out of, Pikachu?

@Pikachu As are most of his responses. I'd love to see some actual research and original thought from him.

@GodSpeed63
What part of that post did you have trouble with?

@GodSpeed63
I took it from your own words : He wrote it through holy men of their time

I agree. It was written by men at a time when genetic inheritance was not something that anyone understood. It would be like asking them to explain the internet.
It's just not something they had any frame of reference for. So they relayed the way animals came to exist in a way that was simple and easy to grasp even if it wasn't actually accurate.

@Pikachu
So?

@Pikachu
According to whom?

@GodSpeed63

According to what is written in the bible vs what we know now.

Allow me to give you an example.

Will a cow upon seeing a striped stick give birth to a striped calf?
Yes or no?

@GodSpeed63 come on man..you can’t really think like this at this day and age.

@SW-User

Faith is a powerful force. Reason is no match🤷‍♀️

@Pikachu yeah i get that but still. It’s a little bit scary

@Pikachu Bet he avoids your question.

@Bushranger

lol quite likely

@Bushranger @Pikachu
Not at all. Just waiting for you jokers to show evidence that Yahweh doesn't live rather than run around like scared chickens hollering ridicules, mockings, and insults at us.

@GodSpeed63


lol *facepalm*

That has nothing to do with our current conversation and you know it.
That was a defense reflex and nothing more.

And you just proved Bushranger correct....

@Pikachu
It has everything to do with it and you know it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so quick to find fault with God or His Word or with us.

@GodSpeed63

lol you don't even remember what the subject is here, do you?
God as your witness, when you typed that response to bushranger and i, did you remember the specific subject we were discussing?😏

@Pikachu @Bushranger @SW-User
Since you appear to value a straight answer, anyone of you, give me a straight answer on this: Do you actually believe that your claim on God, Yahweh, doesn't live will alter the fact that He does live?

@GodSpeed63

lol this is such an easy question and if you promise to give a straight answer to the questions i have asked you then i will happily answer this one for you.

So...do accept those terms or are you a hypocrite?

@GodSpeed63

No? That doesn't sound like a deal you're prepared to accept?
Not surprised.

@GodSpeed63 OK, I'll give you a straight answer to that. In fact, it will be pretty much the same answer I've given on numerous occasions. I, personally, don't believe that any God exists. But that doesn't mean they don't, just that I, personally, have not seen sufficient evidence to convince me.

Am I trying to prove that God doesn't exist? My previous responses to you about this should have precluded the need for you to ask me. I've told you before that God can't be definitively proved or or disproved.

Where I disagree with you is your lack of understanding of science and evidence, and your unwillingness to consider anything outside your beliefs. And before you accuse me of the same thing, present testable evidence that provides a better explanation of reality and I will change my opinion.

I've given you a straight answer and would appreciate a sensible discussion on the topic. In other words, one where we look at each other's evidence and discuss it using our own thoughts, opinions and words. Are you up for that?

@Bushranger
Bushranger, countless times I've presented evidence of that Yahweh lives and cannot present anymore than He has already given. In other words, you're blind to His grand design.


On the contrary, I seem to have a more of an understanding of science than you do even though I am not a scientist. The fact remains that the Truth has me and not the other way around, but, the Truth doesn't have you which is why you have a lack of understanding of science.
