  Are you a Christian Who Accepts Evolution?

  if you identify as a christian but you have accepted that the diversity of life - including humans - resulted from a process of biological evolution could you add your name please?.

  just to be clear i am referring to the fact that our physical lineage could literally be traced back all the way to non-human species.. if you like maybe you could comment on why you see not conflict between evolution and your christian faith.. there is a tendency to conflate evolution with atheism.

  it would be good to show that this is not the case..

  Wake me - it only seems that way because you are thinking about Jesus' death in Watchtower terms.

  Most Christians don't understand soteriology in that way.

  Supporting Marxism is the moral equivalent of promoting German National Socialism.

  It is a dehumanizing ideology that sacrifices the individual in order to further the collective. It has murdered tens of millions of its citizens and all its proponents can say in its defense is that we haven't seen "true" communism yet. Well thank God for that.

  Are Jehovah's Witnesses a cult just as evil and dangerous as Islam?

  i know you might think i'm exaggerating but if you really think about it, maybe i'm not.

  these two religions originate with the same ancient belief system.

  islam is a dangerous middle eastern cult that seeks to control every aspect of its members' lives.

  #2 dna functional redundancy comparison of the dna that codes for the amino acids of ubiquitous proteins predicts the tree of life with an astonishing degree of accuracy..

  #3 ervs endogenous retroviruses that infected our ancestors are found in the same place of the genome of our closest primate cousins..

  Will do Saename. I might include it in the next thread in the series.

  Off the top of my head the vitreous humour does most of the lensing and the "lens" provides some additional resolution that, thanks to the muscles that control the lens, is adjustable.

  Very good reasoning Saename. Way over Perry's head but excellent.

  What do you have to gain from running from my two challenges to you?

  I am running away from nothing.

  1 - Get me a personal message from your imaginary professor friend inviting me to meet with him.

  Can you explain (in your own words) how caterpillars and butterflies came to be using evolution principles such as random mutations, small incremental changes, and natural selection?

  No I personally can't but I can find plenty resources that contain the answers.
  I will deal with new topics of may choosing in my own time. I have covered 40 topics already. If I take time out to cover your insincere question you will immediately choose another one from thousands of potential challenges. If you really want to know how metamorphosis evolved you have access to all the same resources that I do. I am not your personal tutor. Since you have not read a science book in your life I would not suggest starting with such a challenging topic. I would be happy to recommend a suitable reading list.

  I have produced forty threads in this series. Every one explained and illustrated in my own words. Each based on many hours of reading and research conducted during the past 10 years.

  The sources for these posts are a large range of science books and articles written by leading experts in their own specific fields. Their books are in turn backed up by countless peer-reviewed academic papers that you can access if you have the interest to do so.

  On the other hand Perry you admit you have never read a relevant science book in your entire life.

  You could read my threads and engage in a dialogue about things you don't understand or can't accept. That way you would learn things and others might enjoy the conversation.

  Insted all we get is grandstanding, abuse and lying.

  Why are you so afraid of the fact of evolution Perry? The vast majority of christians have come to terms with it and maintained their faith. Do you think you are a more faithful christian than they are for managing to ignore the facts of modern science? Would god be diminished in some way if humans evolved over millions of years?

  Perry you clearly haven't ever met or spoken to this prof. You don't know him, he doesn't know you, has never heard of me. Your so-called offer is nothing more than your usual lying for Jesus.

  I have presented 40 separate threads each containing hard evidence that support the fact of evolution. If you want to discuss any of them with questions or counter arguments in your own words feel free.

  You don't get to change the subject to any one of thousands of details I have not covered yet.

  So far you haven't even had the humility to read a single book that presents the scientific evidence for evolution. Your ignorance is a choice. I used to be where you are now. I thoroughly understand both sides of the question. You live in a self-imposed thought-bubble.

  Your loss. Evolution is a fact. Most sincere christians have no problem with that.
