Evolution or Creationism

[Innsmothe]

Though alot of his earlier work is being improved upon, especially after the discovery of DNA and genes.

Give him credit, though; he did do a lot to advance it. With the help of his partner who's name escapes me...

Technically he used alot of his grandfathers work.

True, very true.

[Abdju]

people who believe in a religion usually are nicer and have more morals.

Evidence?

Fred Phelps.... Osama bin Laden.... Abu Hamza al-Masri.... Jerry Falwell

god started life, and evolution occurred naturally thereafter

I do so love this answer... But might I question for some proof?

[Innsmothe]

god started life, and evolution occurred naturally thereafter

I say we were all created from insects that were chewing up an ex-giant's corpse.

Prove me wrong infidel.

I'm a Christian, i also believe in evolution.

It's a lie!!!! If that were true then how would we have survived the flood? There is no way we could have got the giant onto the ark, so we would all have had to become cannibals, and Baby Jesus doesn't want us to be cannibals... That's why he turned himself into crackers and wine...

You forget that Thor (god of storms) is one of the most regarded of deities, he would not let us drown like babes, he would have us fight and die in bloody and spectacular fashions so he could get it up for his wife later that evening.

Ah yes... the 'God of the Gaps'

[Dypsomaniacs]

Put your hands together.

It's said that God created the earth in six days. Well, what's a day to an omnipotence/omnipresence? Why, it could be millions or billions of years, by golly. Who's to say evolution isn't part of the creative process?

Apparently, a day to God is a thousand years(so sayeth the bible). So its still wrong.

The word "day" that is found in Genesis of the bible comes from the Hebrew word "yowm".

This word can mean a few things -
1 - day; as daytime not night time.
2 - A twenty four hour period.
3 - days or lifetimes - In all their days.
4 - General time period.
5 - year
6 - reference of today, yesterday, or tomorrow.

The creation story of Genesis does not actually specify that the days were twenty four hour time periods... All that is said is - And the evening and the morning was the Xth day.
This is the sort of confusion that happens when words are translated for their literal meaning with no regard for the context in which they were actually used...
Old timers are the most likely to be heard using phrases such as - Back in my day... Only the silliest of fools would be confused enough to think that their reference to the word day meant a twenty four hour period...

Well you goddangedid evil-lutionists ain't never seen this happen yet has ya? Therefur they ain't no evil-lution!

If fire type animals won't evolve into grass type animals over the course of their lifetimes, evolution ain't real!

sssh, I'm getting closer to a bingo than I have in ages, I still haven't gotten one yet.

I believe Carbon dating is inaccurate. (does that help?)

Doesn't make much sense to me. It's like saying that you believe in walking across the room, but not across the house.

I believe in Micro evolution but not macro evolution. (does that help?)

Uhhh, that's a fallacy.
Micro leads to macro. It's quite proven.

Something changes so much to the point that it can;t breed with others it is considered a new species.
This takes thousands to millions fo years.
Dog breeding is 'Micro'. Wolfs being changed into domesticated dogs through thousands of years of 'Micro-evolution' is 'macro'.

Either way, the Bible is still an inaccurate text of the complied stories of Bronze Age goatherders, regardless of translation.

Apparently you do not get the joke. Sorry for the grammatical error.

[Dynaminterra]

here's a joke to describe the thread....

and here's another one!

[Unhealthy2]

My question is why did it expand, or rather how did it expand if there was no force?

Well, a uniform energy density that doesn't depend on time will cause space-time to expand exponentially. That's the easiest possibility.

Possible. But that would make the insects God.

[Dynaminterra]

no because they were created from cells.

cells reproduce A-sexually, thus they reproduce with the same sex which is apparently against gods will. (see homosexual thread for more mind numbing religious stupidity/hypocrisy.)

According to Leveticus it is against the Abrahamic God's will.
The more you know!

[Autumn Wind]

It's a lie!!!! If that were true then how would we have survived the flood?

Because the people of Atlantis gave the humans food shortly before founding the illuminati, DUH! Since someone once wrote a book on it, and you can't prove it didn't happen, it must be true.
