Religion requires no evidence. It is based solely on belief. In science, beliefs have to be proven, we call them hypotheses. Many scientists have a belief in God but separate that from their real-world hypothesis, theories and experiments.I don’t presume one or more gods.
The planet is very old. We have no evidence of supernaturalism. Those are material facts.
Evolution isn't even a theory or hypothesis. It's ALL LIES. There is nothing that happened millions or billions of years ago. The earth layers are based on location. Check the names out. They refer to location and not time. Evolution scientists just made up the layers to refer to time. The layers were laid down by the global flood.There are so many threads from religious fundamentalists trying to debunk the Theory of Evolution. And, I might add, failing.
My question is simple. Why? Why does what happened millions of years ago matter so much?
Christianity is a moral framework for a society. It is especially helpful because human capacity for empathy varies with each individual. Evolution is on-going scientific research into the origins of life and should never be confused with religion which is based solely on belief.
Agree. A collection of allegory and fable, written by many authors over many decades and reflects a period in time when life was harsh and the ebb and flow of life was dictated by events and forces little understood at the time so various gods and demons, most of which were passed down from earlier times, were the causes of existence.Or the stories are not meant to be history, but teaching a primitive, nomadic people about their world.
Events that happened millions of years ago are a direct contradiction to the Bible and thus Christianity. Consider some of the central themes of the Bible. Without supernatural creation of the universe and mankind 6,000 years ago and a global flood perhaps 4,000 years ago, entire themes of the bible disappear. The known universe is somewhere around 13.8 billion years old with this planet around 4.5 billion years old. That’s utterly incompatible with a young earth.
The ancient, physical universe utterly contradicts the Jesus fable. Without Jesus as a savior, the crucifixion and subsequent rise from the dead, you have removed all the basic elements of christianity.
Evolution is on-going research into origins. Those who point to evolution as the answer to origins are actually trying to turn evolution into a religion, which it is not.Couldn't agree more about the roll Christianity can play ... nor about being confused with religion ...
I'm not sure it's correct to say "evolution is research" ... research is conducted within the framework of evolution ... we test new drugs on rats because humans and rats are very close cousins, evolutionary-ily speaking that is ... (adverb troubles) ...
Moral frameworks for moral questions ... scientific frameworks for science questions ... I have no problem existing in both ...
Yet some of the progressives gave credence to Lucifer. Are you saying the Obama and Hillary are liars?Hmmm, so we don’t know then…
My personal opinion of the deity called Lucifer is that it was created to scare children into believing that evil deeds done by humanity is the fault of a fallen being but in reality it is our own dark nature within us instead…

the big problem with the two theories is did it happen millions of yrs ago,,There are so many threads from religious fundamentalists trying to debunk the Theory of Evolution. And, I might add, failing.

Boy, are you WRONG and not even a shred of evidence to show us to back up your spiel.Agree. A collection of allegory and fable, written by many authors over many decades and reflects a period in time when life was harsh and the ebb and flow of life was dictated by events and forces little understood at the time so various gods and demons, most of which were passed down from earlier times, were the causes of existence.

Evolution is also about the future ... and here is it's true strength in science ... it has very useful predictive powers ...

Why do you think folks living in the Kingdom of Judah in the 9th Century BC should have believed the Earth was 4.6 billion years old? ... we didn't know the Earth was round until the 5th Century BC ...
Exact how many scientific truths should we expect from the oral tradition we received from antiquity? ... stories passed father to son for 45,000 years ... told around camp fires while the wimin folk tended the babies ...
Phaw ... a good argument can be made that the Bible is political spin ... we have evidence of Judah, but nothing of Israel ... much like Hitler invading Czechoslovakia, Putin invading The Ukraine, the United States invading Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras, Chile, Panama, Grenada, Guatemala, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iraq (twice), Guam, etc etc etc ... there's a narrative that allows for territorial conquest ... "It was ours from the beginning, the Bible says so" ...
It matters because exploration of the natural world tends to upend religious belief.For those who have trouble with reading comprehension, this thread is not about rehashing Evolution/Creationism. There are already 15 threads in Science & Technology and Religion & Ethics forums doing that.
This is a simple question. Why does the argument exist? Why does it matter?
Politician lie daily like a Preacher that tend too his flock…Yet some of the progressives gave credence to Lucifer. Are you saying the Obama and Hillary are liars?
It matter because people can not agree and both sides have to be right…For those who have trouble with reading comprehension, this thread is not about rehashing Evolution/Creationism. There are already 15 threads in Science & Technology and Religion & Ethics forums doing that.
