Evolution

I have no need to expand my understanding of man-made fantasies.

Engineered DNA from God that allows for variations within kinds

Firstly, the fact that you are convinced of something does not make that something a fact. Secondly, let's be clear about terms: most Christians do accept the reality of microevolution, but reject macroevolution.

You're wrong. The Bible states that each "kind" of creature is to reproduce after its kind. Dogs produce dogs. Bacteria produce bacteria. Humans produce humans.

Unearthed, random variations are normal, but a random variation cannot produce a new species. Case closed.

If you've ever watched Pokémon you will know that evolution is a fact

Young earth creationism is the idea that God setup a pool table and took 20 shots to sink 20 billiard balls. Evolution and big-bang models are the idea that God took 1 shot to sink 20 balls.

1) An endorsement of evolution is not to say that the human form happened by mistake, nor to deny Colossians 1:15.

2) There are two aspects to evolution, the ability to predict past events and the ability to predict future events. Even if a concession was made that applying the theory to past events is incorrect, applying the theory to future events is still correct.

Therefore: a Christian can endorse evolution without denying a literal interpretation of Genesis scripture. There is perhaps no conflict at all if the Genesis creation story is not literal. In either case, a Christian may safely endorse evolution without conflict.

So many responses that I could provide... none of them complimentary....

If it can't explain the origin of life, how can it explain variartions/iterations of life?

Oh, so you think that a theory has to be able to explain absolutely everything in order to be valid?

no, it doesn't but doesn't make it true when it is just a theory.

What do you mean when you use the term "just a theory".
Can you tell me exactly what you think a theory is.

sure it is a supposition which is an uncertain belief. an example would be Darwinian Evolution.


Truth is the state of being true. And it is the truth even if it is denied or believed not to be true. Truth and Law stands. The only way truth doesn't stand is when it is a lie, unproven, or if one is seeking the truth and performs analysis, gathers data, and form a hypothesis which leads to a theory that has to still be proven the truth or a LAW.


Darwinian Evolution is not true. it is a belief system founded in error. the error was a man tried to prove the non-existence of God and became a FOOL>. Yet he was able to deceive many and they too became utter fools.

A theory that can’t explain everything is inadequate at best and likely incorrect.

OK, let's work with this.

Going back to the example of Newton's laws of motion, were they true before Newton came up with them? Are they considered true now....?

Interesting. By all means a theory can be incomplete, however the reason you have the lifestyle you have today is because of science.

Which has nothing to do with evolution.

I've heard a saying that Darwin's theory of evolution doesn't say that man evolved from apes. Those are the conclusions guessed by those who read his book.

I wouldn't say Jesus is a fact and I wouldn't say I believe in evolution.
I believe in Jesus and evolution is a fact. There is no conflict in my mind between those two statements.
God made Adam and Eve long after the first humans. Adam was the first man and Eve became the mother of all living. Before them, humans were just special animals that God decided to make in His image.

On what evidence do you make these claims (bolded)?

I get the feeling that in many cases detractors to modern evolutionary theory don't understand how science works. Or how theories are handled. Or what the current model of evolutionary theory is (hint: it's not Darwin's model). Ignorance is a sign of hardened heart (Ephesians 4:18).

The purpose of scientific theories is to help make predictions. It must have observational utility. For those that interpret evolutionary theory as being at odds with Genesis, the question is why do you feel this way? It is not necessary to interpret Genesis literally, and to do so is at the expense of other valid interpretations of the creation story.

Ultimately, whether it contradicts the creation story or not is irrelevant. If the creation story is literal, evolutionary theory still has utility for future events. It is an observation of "this is the way things have been set in motion". No different than looking at the orbits of stars and projecting forward or backward in time to calculate a star's position. If 10,000 BC didn't exist, it doesn't mean that calculations of star movements are suddenly invalid, it just means that there is a limitation in how the model can be applied. Likewise with modern evolutionary theory! If 10,000 BC didn't exist, it just means that the model can't be applied backward to that time. It doesn't render calculations for the future incorrect.

Use scripture, use modern scientific theory. Demonstrate logically why it is necessarily the case that modern evolutionary theory is false.
