The TOP five signs you are a hysterical evolutionist.

5. I acknowledge that it is a theory
4. haha...Nope, I believe in God...sometimes I get pissed at him, though
3. Umm...can't we be both?
2. No...the Big Bang is still a mystery to everyone...that's where I think God kicked everything off
1. Oh...I definately don't have all the answers...

Well, looks like I'm not hysterical...but I am still firmly convinced of evolution.

You cant be a hysterical evolutionist if you understand that a belief is not a concrete fact.  Just the best conclusion that fits the facts that you believe.

There is nothing in the bible that says that says evolution does not happen. Genesis says that the earth and animals were created in the same order that the theory of evolution suggests they were created in. It states that they were created in 7 days, but it also says that a day to God is like a thousand days to us, with a thousand just being an arbitrarily large number. There is no part in the theory of evolution that states that God did not create the heavens and the earth, it just gives a plausible explanation as to how he did it.

I believe that evolution and creationism work, together.

I believe:

God created the world, and evolution is either:

A) A natural process, needed for species to survive.

It is one of God's tools.


Simple, and what i believe.

so am I, I have seen the human species evolve, we are bigger,faster, stronger, smarter. I just do not believe we are a cosmic acident.

I do not look at an accident creating the entire universe and the life on this planet as plausible.

"I do not look at an accident creating the entire universe and the life on this planet as plausible."

Did martimus call it an accident? Did myrr pee in your wheaties? Why do you like to emulate the people who obviously get your goat? First a bizzaro SConn1 impression, now a bizzaro Myrrander.

it's called balance baker, balance.

The only way you can balance them is to be just as fringe, only in the opposite direction. Do you think being a caricature of a caricature really makes things better, or does it just give them examples to prove what they are saying?

look the thing with sconn1 was war... it was me being as mean and nasty as I know how to be. period.

this thing with Intelligent design and evolution is something I have written about before baker. I always come down on the side of I.D.

I always come down on the side of I.D.

Why not both?

Why accepting that both work, together? Why does it HAVE to be one or the other?

Good one Modman!! Balance is good. But it's been mostly one sided around here lately...at least from my viewpoint.

Genesis says that the earth and animals were created in the same order that the theory of evolution suggests they were created in. It states that they were created in 7 days, but it also says that a day to God is like a thousand days to us, with a thousand just being an arbitrarily large number.

you're actually talking two diff things here. “Day” with numerical adjectives in Hebrew always refers to a 24 hour period. That is the word used in the creation week. The thousand years you're talking about is found in Peter. That has nothing to do with creation and is talking about God being outside of time. God is not bound by time. It has nothing to do with the passage in Genesis.

But it's been mostly one sided around here lately...at least from my viewpoint.

 Funny that.  

"The thousand years you're talking about is found in Peter. That has nothing to do with creation and is talking about God being outside of time."

LOL. When I challenge you about God 'hardening' Pharaoh's heart, you quote from the New Testament. You do it almost all the time to make your little myths work out. You think how long a year is doesn't have anything to do with God and His relationship with time?

My, my, my, how you pick and choose, lol...

5. If you bothered to read Darwin's theory, you would see it is all based on exactly that, theory, not fact .

What facts do you have to dispute the theory?

4.If the Mention of GOD sends you into a fit of anger.

Why would anyone get angry at or about something that doesn't exist?

3.If you would rather believe that we are monkey people instead of GODS.

What's GOD like about the human condition?

2.If you believe that all of life is based on some kind of "cosmic accident"

In other words: to hold a belief in miracles?

And the number one reason is, You refuse to even consider you "MIGHT" not have all the answers.

  Its Creationist dogma that would have us all believe everythings already been settled. Not having all the answers and therefore seeking them out is what separates ET from Creationist censure.

How deluded does one have to be to suggest the reverse?

Reply #15 5. If you bothered to read Darwin's theory, you would see it is all based on exactly that, theory, not fact . What facts do you have to dispute the theory?

what facts do you have PROVING IT?

4.If the Mention of GOD sends you into a fit of anger. Why would anyone get angry at or about something that doesn't exist?

why even mention this if it does not annoy you?

.If you would rather believe that we are monkey people instead of GODS. What's GOD like about the human condition?

what's MONKEY like about the human condition?

2.If you believe that all of life is based on some kind of "cosmic accident" In other words: to hold a belief in miracles?

no , not in other words to suit you, the words I chose are the words I mean, not some other words.

and how deluded must one be to believe a monkey is your ancestor>?

thank you, it has been a little slanted in the big bang direction.

5. If you bothered to read Darwin's theory, you would see it is all based on exactly that, theory, not fact .

Answer: Yep, it's a theory. But one that's been affirmed over and over again

4.If the Mention of GOD sends you into a fit of anger.

Answer: No, no fits of anger here! Except when people try to tell me they've got God all sewn up.

3.If you would rather believe that we are monkey people instead of GODS.

Answer: we are monkeys. At least we act like 'em a lot. (except sometimes monkeys make more sense with their actions!)

2.If you believe that all of life is based on some kind of "cosmic accident"

Answer: What's an "accident?" That's just a human mind thing, like time and fairness.

And the number one reason is, You refuse to even consider you "MIGHT" not have all the answers.

Answer: I've found that the older I get the dumber I get. Now if you'd a met me in my twenties you'd have said " that Joe, now he's a smart motherfucker!"

"what facts do you have PROVING IT?"

People who espouse a belief that can't be proved sound odd demanding proof of other people's theories. You've already denied the need for proof by believing what you believe, right? Why hold them to a higher standard?

I know you'll say they claim to have a higher standard, and they do, but in the end what does that matter to you? There are Christians in the religion section making holier-than-thou statements constantly, to you they'd be boldly proclaiming falsehoods as well. Don't they bother you, or is there something about the leftist bent of this that gets on your nerves?

The problem isn't one side or the other. It is with people who "know" things that they really don't know telling other people that they don't know what they think they know. If it mattered that much, wouldn't God make sure you had the answer?

The only honest people in this whole issue are the people who admit they don't know one way or the other.

and how deluded must one be to believe a monkey is your ancestor

Now of course a monkey wasn't our ancestor...it's our cousin. An ape was our ancestor.

nobody "knows" one way or the other baker, that is why it is called belief.

What facts do you have to dispute the theory?

That is the funny things about theory. They are not facts. Oh, they are good theories (the ones that survive), but you dont have to disprove a theory with fact. Just with doubt.

Personally, I am with MM. I do beleive in Intelligent design, which does not negate evolution, but does allow for a guiding hand. Perhaps the better argument is disprove Intelligent Design. What facts do you have to disprove that?

And dont bother googling them. For the simple fact is there is none. So we come down to belief.

And yours is as valid as mine, just not to me.

(Citizen)Dr. GuyNovember 6, 2006 17:56:07

I think that is what gets me the most... it plainly states it is a theory, yet proponets of it state it like it is fact.

what's MONKEY like about the human condition?

I appreciate that the words you choose are the words you mean, not some other words but dont you mean APE?

Doubt in the form of?

You cannot "disprove" a theory without contrary fact.
