I liken any and all evolutionists to being true misanthropes because you really have to truly hate humanity to believe in evolution of any kind. That means just what it says too.

There is still a debate amongst learned scientists about this topic. Everyone on both sides have the same exact evidence, but they come to different conclusions. Darwinist evolution and intelligent design are all based on faith. And that faith is informed by your paradigm and world view. If your world view is from the perspective of Scripture, then you will look at the evidence and apply faith and come to one conclusion, but if your world view is based on humanistic ideals to the exclusion of a Creator, you are likely to come to a different conclusion especially if your goal is to disprove a Creator.
Theistic evolution assumes there was death, sickness, and decay prior to the fall of man in Genesis 3. And scripture says that it was the fall of man that brought all death into God's creation and put creation under a curse that includes sickness, decay, and entropy.

As Christians, we must decide weather or not we will submit to what is written in Scripture and allow that to inform our understanding of His Creation and of this universe. Thiis does not mean we dismiss the Scientific Method, which is merely a method of observation and study. Our conclusions must be based not only on the evidence, but also from our perspective and what we are told in Scripture. These things do not contradict one another and neither are they mutually exclusive. What we are told in Scripture are one more set of facts that must be applied before reaching our conclusions. you are so silly if you think there is actual scientific debate about evolution. every bit of physical evidence points towards it. |

Creationism is anti-christian because it is anti-science. Science does not disagree with God, seeing as how he created physical laws that dictate nature. Creationist claims fall under the slightest scrutiny. Hasn't it occured to you that the authors of the various books of the bible weren't scientists and that the bible was not intended as a scientific text.

That's quite a supposition. I believe in evolution, therefore I am a misanthrope? And the movie expelled dealt more with the political side of the scientific community then whether or not creationism/ID is factually tenable. I agree there needs to be a debate, but don't act like all the evidence is just government conspiracy trying to cover up the truth. - NorthernAsh wrote:

That retarded run around you are referring too is what is called a presentation of the facts. Just because you don't want to take the time to actually process them is your own fault. Unfortunately this method does not count as winning a debate. |

| Origins: There is a first nesessary cause that was caused by no other. We call Him God.
From the Alpha Sentory Galaxy the Earth is a very tiny little light. The Expanding Universe goes on forever. How small does it get? And how large does it get? It's relative...
Cause and effect as aplied to human beings: You can throw paint at a canvas for a million years, and you will never get the Mona Lisa. She is a direct, intentional, loving, creative act.
Perfection: Give an ape a million years and see what it becomes. Now, give the Blessed Mother of Christ all Eternity, and see what she becomes. Jesus would not let his Mother come from a damn howling ape!
In the begining God created Man in His own image. In the Devine Image He created them Male and Female. The family genealogy is listed in the new testement. As in the old testement are the names of a thousand children born of Adam and Eve.
God provides beautiful and delicious fruit trees and vegitables, with their seed in it. We also cooked and ate all kinds of clean animals thankfully to God. The Earth dosen't just have life but it has abundant life.
We are created in the Image and likeness of God, with Free will, Intellect, bodily supplty. This means our bodys would never die and we would do as we pleased. Free will is another aspect of God's children. Free choice between good and evil. The choices we make directly influence the quality of our days. We have all been called to be great Saints.
Some say Our first parents were more advanced than we are today. That things have been going down hill ever since. They lived 900 years and their minds and bodys were created directly by God. The first Man and first Woman were strong and healthy.
How do you know Adam and Eve when you get to Heaven? They don't have belly buttons. No parents.
That throws the ape man idea out the window. Remember the Devi's temptation. And that he doesn't want you to believe that the story of original sin is true history. The Devil wants you to believe that he doesn't exist. Thus giving death in all types of sins. Show me your God!
Our first Parents fell into original sin and died. In time they were redeemed by the blood of Christ. This means they would have lived forever with God's Children and the works of their hands. We had high tech inventions very quickly.
Creative acts: Children do good works, and have fun with the Arts and Crafts. Man's creative potential seems limitness. Before you is fire and water. Whichever you choose stretch forth your hand, that you shall recieve.
God, the Father of Christ is the first cause that was, is, and will allways be a Devine Being! Creator of Heaven and Earth. We have Heaven here on Earth to do our part.

The "evidence they try to use" has also hads to be proven. Evolutionists try to prove their theory..with other theories..which proves absolutely nothingt. So no physical evidence points to it... "physical theories" point to a theory |

Maybe Mark, but evolution isn't science in any, way, shape or form, so what does that have to do with anything?

That shows that you have no understanding whatsoever of the scientific method and you would do well to know what scientists ACTUALLY do before throwing out platitudes. Now, by theory, do you mean inference and indirect observation? |

Now, by theory, do you mean inference and indirect observation? Let's put it this way, they try to prove an animal evolved by finsding skeletons or fossils...but tehy have never proved that the fossil was linked to that animal |

| Because animals don't just rapidly evolve from one to the other. As theonymic pointed out. Also, there are transitional fossils, and they aren't even that rare. There are many transitional fossils. The only way that the claim of their absence may be remotely justified, aside from ignoring the evidence completely, is to redefine "transitional" as referring to a fossil that is a direct ancestor of one organism and a direct descendant of another. However, direct lineages are not required; they could not be verified even if found. What a transitional fossil is, in keeping with what the theory of evolution predicts, is a fossil that shows a mosaic of features from an older and more recent organism. Here are some transitional fossils, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBuPHbuI9WM&feature=channel_page |

If there was ever a time when everything was absolutely still, there would be no Motion today.
Therefore, there is and will always be perpetual Motion.
God is Omnipotent, and all Powerful. What existed before the big bang? Spirit Life.
The God of the past, present, and future.
Your heart is beating, the wind is blowing, we know not where it comes, or where it is going.
The breath of life is within you. God breathed life into man's nostrills and he became a living being.
The buildings around us are slowly crumbling to the ground. As the great citys of Antiquity, this too will come to pass.
Our generation too left it's mark. The future relys on the faithful. The Children of our life to come.

| God is Light, Light came first. Universal darkness was never the case.
Jesus, I AM the light of the world. Those who follow me will not walk in darkness. They shall have the light of life.
The light shines on in darkness, a darkness that did not over come it.
Light of the world shine on me. Love is the answer. Shine on us all, set us free. Love is the answer.
The Sun is so powerful. Yet a baby can look upon the world and not go blind.
What keeps that ball of fire floating in the sky in the first place?
Twinkle twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high. Like a diamond in the sky...
If the eye is sound the world will be filled with it's light. But if the eye is blind the world will be filled with darkness.
Son of David, have mercy on us! What do you want me to do for you? Lord, we want to see! I will it. Recieve your sight.

An atomic bomb when looked upon burns out the cornea.
We all shine on. Like the moon and the stars and the sun. John Lennon |
