  Marry Christmas Jan-evolution goes down in flames

  by clash_city_rockers in

  darwin on trial is the title of a book on evolution that has ruffled the feathers of the secular scientific community.

  though a christian, author philip johnson critiques evolutionary theory from a secular standpoint as he examines the philosophical games many scientists play to protect their evolutionary ideology.

  johnson, a law professor at the university of california at berkeley, attacks head-on the often-heard statement that evolution is both a fact and a theory, an evolutionary dogma that has been a major source of confusion for a long time.

  What is EVIL?
  Who defines what is truly Evil?

  space.com dates Noah's flood to 2350 B.C.

  the watchtower society dates noah's flood to 2370 b.c.e.

  they do this by following bible chronology quite closely, counting backwards from 607 b.c.e., their date for babylon's destruction of jerusalem.

  however, as we know, the society's date for that event is in error.

  One thing that could help in our understanding og the creation account in genesis is this:
  The writer who wrote Genesis was not around when the 1st six creative day occured, and if the writter was Adam then he was only around durring Eve's creation but was asleep durring the process.

  So the term we translate day would have the meaning not of the writer but the teller to the writer.

  I would like to say this about morals for the christian and atheist.

  Being created in God's image both the beleiver and nonbeleiver have a inner sense of right and wrong.
  Which can be quite faulty or good sometimes.
  Evolution in my estimation could not logically account for this inner sense.

  There are good and bad(morally speaking) atheist and theist.

  So if evolution is true and it is survival of the fitest morals don't fit into the processes that make evolution work.

  Of coarse these last points you bring out are speculations made by intelligent men.
  They in time may or may not be verified.

  I feel that the explanations that christians or others give for evil to be allowed to exist in a just God's universe, are for the most part speculations, that may or may not be true.

  As those teaching evolution they should be more honest in there conclusions, as to how many things are not proven and subject to change with new data. I feel the christian has not been totally honest either, in their defense of God's actions. The wiser christians, IMHO, are the ones that can admit to these things and acknowledge the limits of their understanding.

  Some of the advocates of evolution have mentioned to me that they should not have to be saying all the time that things they teach are tenative. And I agree, you need not do that if you don't talk about these theories as if they are definite.

  Non the less you make some very valid points that I ponder often.

  I think we must keep in mind that Santa lives in a different time continuum.
  And so you would have to adjust your figures.

  Alan,

  The points you make here are valid points that have not ever really been answered well by Christians.
  Although I concider myself a christian I don't have a good answer and I feel that I have to be honest and admit it.
  I am learning everyday but will I find a good answer to the problem you bring up before I die, I don't think so.
  My reasons for beleiving in God are not based on finding an answer to this aspect of God's fairness, Although it would be nice if I did.

  I think it would be fairer to give them a warning and cancel the extra accounts and if spamming continues then cancel their account.

  Wouldn't that be far better?
