54 percent of Republicans do not believe in evolution? Really?

'21st Century Creationism' Same As The Old Creationism


David Rives of WorldNetDaily, claims that unlike Creationists, “Darwinian evolutionists believe, by faith, in the unproven theories of man, therefore their conclusions are also based on a belief rather that fact.”

“The Biblical account of creation as found in the first chapter of the Bible, the foundation upon which the whole Biblical record is based, is being gradually eroded away by unproven theories of evolution – not by empirical science, but by highly interpretive theories, presented by those who reject the God of the Bible,” explains David Rives Ministries. “The question arises: Does empirical science, observable and repeatedly demonstrable findings, prove the theories of Darwinian evolution to be true and the Biblical account to be false? The answer is emphatically no.

“The unproven theories of evolution that are being presented rely heavily on the interpretation of data – ‘ideology’ or ‘worldview,’” Rives explains. “Those who believe the Bible to be true see sedimentary layers of geological formations to be an indication of a worldwide flood in Noah’s day. Those who believe in the theories of evolution view the same geological layers as confirmation of millions of years of gradual deposition. The bottom line is that no one was there to witness the events responsible for producing what we see.

“Those who trust in the Biblical record believe, by faith, that ‘Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith’ (Hebrews 11:7),” Rives continues. “Darwinian evolutionists believe, by faith, in the unproven theories of man, therefore their conclusions are also based on a belief rather that fact. Darwinian evolution is a faith-based religion in opposition to the words of Scripture, which for thousands of years has been received by Bible believers as the inspired word of the Creator Himself.

“I believe that when we take a look at all the facts, it takes more faith to believe in evolution by random chance than it does to believe in the literal Genesis account,” Rives concludes.

When Rives, among on the Bible literalist assholes, starts with the FACT that Genesis, 144 hours to create the universe, is historically and scientifically TRUE, the discussion is dead.

A Missing Genetic Link in Human Evolution

About 8 million to 12 million years ago, the ancestor of great apes, including humans, underwent a dramatic genetic change. Small pieces of DNA replicated and spread across their resident chromosomes like dandelions across a lawn. But as these “dandelion seeds” dispersed, they carried some grass and daisy seeds — additional segments of DNA — along for the ride. This unusual pattern, repeated in different parts of the genome, is found only in great apes — bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas and humans.

Fuzzy, Do you believe aliens have visited the earth?

much like your Messiah I have no reason to believe so. Empiricist. Look it up. I suppose the discussion of spectrum analysis was beyond your mental acuity

Smart people don't need to tell everyone how smart they are and don't feel the need to insult the intelligence of others. Why are you so insecure?

[AntiChrist]

Napoleon complex, perhaps?

A common trait of Aspergers is a complete lack of social skills.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

This is so cute!

Both of you wits trying variants of the same schtick in an argument you weren't even involved in.

It's sad really. Keep trying and maybe someone will thing you are smart Darrin or you funny TSA.

religious people claiming others can't "fathom" something

Who is religious. I don't even go to church, too lazy to go on a Sunday especially when there is fishing or football.

[rascal]

The religious zealot always backs into an untenable position by the inability to utter a very simple phrase:

I don't know.

When one starts creating rules and deities... It's asking observation, evidence and logic to punch you in the face.

The non believers have no answers as to how the Big bang happened and how did life start from nothing.

[rascal]

I am proud to say I believe in God. You should be ashamed to announce you are an atheist. I wouldn't trust an atheist with anything.

[Blake]

The non believers have no answers as to how the Big bang happened and how did life start from nothing.

Why do you limit your options to two?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The non believers have no answers as to how the Big bang happened and how did life start from nothing.

Yet there is proof that the big bang happened.

Your god has no proof of existence or cause.

An hour in Gods time can be billions of years in our time. Different dimensions- different timelines.

"The non believers have no answers as to how the Big bang happened"

to you duped, naive Bible-thumping literalists, there was no Big Bang, just God creating everything in 144 hours. Makes everything simiple-(minded), don't it?

no, so you interpret "day" as whatever the you want it to be? HERESY!

God caused the Big bang

[Blake]

I am not a bible thumping literalist. I don't even own a Bible.

So you're making up your own version of God.

That's even more illogical than being a Bible literalist.

[Blake]

Who created God?

[rascal]

I am not making up any version.

[rascal]

Who created God?

No one. God created everything. God created the entire 3rd dimension and everything in it. The universe will compact to nothing as it gets sucked into itself when the time is right and expansion from the big bang stops in the future. The 3rd dimension will no longer exist when the end of time comes and the last man is born. the name of the last man is already known, the future is already known and the choices you make are already known. Because the future is known does not mean you didn't have free will.

Seems legit

[rascal]

The problem with Bible literalists is they get confused with meanings in trannslations and get closed minded to all other religions.

[Blake]

I am not making up any version.

you already said you aren't religious.

If you don't subscribe to a religion but you believe in a God, then by the rules of communication using the English language, you're making up your own version.
