If he’s not trolling:

Does he think that a monkey gives birth to a half monkey half human, which then had sex with another halfy, making a full human?

I could understand 1 dinosaur, but 2?

You won't find many churches still teaching that mumbo-jumbo anymore. The few that actually hold on to those beliefs are likely wise enough by now to keep it to themselves, or at least not tell anybody they don't actually believe it either. The Ark is not plausible the way it's interpreted and ministries now know they can be instantaneously fact checked on certain things with the interwebs and stuff.

I'm still waiting on someone to explain exactly how this layer of water floating in the atmosphere (the one that eventually fell and caused The Great Flood) enabled humans to live for literally hundreds and hundreds of years. And still be healthy enough at age 500-600 to build a cargo ship out of timber, in the Middle East of all places.

Did it act as a natural sun screen to the entire planet, blocking out harmful UV rays from the sun and blocking space radiation? Thereby slowing down the aging process somehow? Or do we even believe in space and/or radiation?

Name literally just one of these discoveries that has "blown evolution theory out of the water"



What is the point?
We could post an argument, but no one is "argued" to a faith they aren't seeking. There's evidence that is being interpreted by two sides in their own ways.

My question is "what are your answers?"
This board complains about the rampant crime, the ridiculous depraved spiral of our culture and the hopelessness of a country speeding toward communism.
Then the same board turns to ruthlessly mock good people that read the book with the solution.

Let's be honest. The nuclear family as God intended... do you propose a better environment to raise a healthy family? The Judeo-Christian values made this country great and provided a moral fabric that served us well for a centuries, then the cancers of hubris and liberal progressivism exalted feelings over facts. This whole site was a haven of information when the vaccines were being pushed. The government does not know best; it's a lousy substitute for God.

Arguing on a website is pointless. Crapping on people with differing beliefs than you is pathetic.
It's a free forum. If you'd rather champion the cause of pedophiles and narcissists, knock yourself out. Others would rather look up for answers to life's biggest questions. But it's a valid choice.

If you seek Him, you'll find.

So if Noah only saved 2 of every "kind" of animal instead of 2 of every "species", then does the vast biodiversity of species today mean that evolution is also canon in the christian worldview?


I mean it’s observable so yes. I was actually convinced about evolution by my 7th/8th grade biology teacher who was also our (Methodist) church videographer and saw no conflict between the modern evolutionary synthesis and Christian faith including the immaculate conception, resurrection, and power of prayer.

While a water layer would help with radiation, it wouldn’t do shite for the fact that our telomeres shorten with each cell division, which is the primary cause of “aging” and the reason humans have a best case shelf life of about 130 years. Shame a ceiling of water wouldn’t fix that little issue

Dude got so flummoxed that he couldn't disprove evolution that he went straight to a political rant instead

This is my favorite part:

By "liberal progressivism" I'm assuming you mean science. They're the ones pushing feelings over fact, not the religious zealots. Bc the facts are written in an ancient book that tells you to take it's words as fact based solely on faith.

Brother, did you even read the diatribe you just wrote? All you did was crap on people for not accepting your beliefs and claiming to be a mocked victim when they offer counterarguments to your beliefs. The persecution fetish is strong in you.

The very next line you go on to call non-christians pedophiles and narcissists (a statement dripping in irony, if you really want to start that discussion). What a great way to win over nonbelievers. That's exactly how Jesus would've witnessed to sinners. WWJD and all that

Lol. I really think if anyone even considered for a minute what I said, it might make logical sense to y’all evolutionist sheep. But, by-and-large I know most people are gonna always mock and scorn what they refuse to take time to put their own logic and reason into learning about, testing and considering.

And, BTW to tell someone who grew up in public school in this day and age, and then went on to get a liberal degree at a secular university, that they have no idea what the theory of evolution is or how it’s supposed to “work” is a poorly thought comeback. Evolution taught as fact has been crammed down everyone under 50’s throats at every point in their academic career. Now, I challenge that you are not knowledgeable enough on intelligent design’s argument to make a statement of any weight against it.

Some of us are just smart and aware enough on both sides of the issue to challenge the status quo, actually consider and weigh the holes, and actually put both sides to intellectual test. I think that’s called actual science. To me, and a lot of Christians (and non-Christians), the most likely answer is glaringly obvious. It HAS to be intelligent design by a creator.

Well since you're so much smarter than the rest of us sheeple, maybe you can stop mocking us idiots for a second and help me wrap my smooth little pea brain around a couple of concepts that I can't quite grasp. How did the water canopy allow pre-flood humans to live for 500+ years? And how has the Earth regained such biodiversity post-flood when Noah was only able to save two of each "kind" of animal?

I'm also a little hazy on the timeline. So the Earth is 6k-10k years old? Adam and Eve were the first humans, at the beginning of that timeline. In the pre-flood days Methuselah lived to be nearly 1000 years old. How many generations was he after Adam & Eve? And how much overlap was there in his life and Noah's, who was 600 years old at the time of the flood? At what point in the timeline was the flood that wiped out everyone on th planet except Noah and his immediate family? I'm curious how long it takes to grow world population from 1 single family, to over 8 billion VERY different looking people

Young earth

Genealogies and chronologies rabbit hole

Timeline

If you actually are interested, here’s a few things that most people (and probably all liberal atheists) have never seen, heard, or considered before. If you have the time, the genealogy and chronology one is absolutely fascinating, and gets into a LOT of things dealing with origins of the different races, cultures, etc…

Plate tectonics and continental sprint-Fountains of the Deep

Here is an interesting explanation of the “fountains of the deep” and their contribution to the flood, as well as Pangaea breaking apart rapidly. This answers several questions that cannot be reconciled through contemporary versions of plate tectonics theory, which rely on more of a “continental creep” as opposed to a rapid spreading during the flood.

The Bible does talk about a protective covering of vapor or ice crystals in the atmosphere, but that’s not all- it makes a major emphasis of water trapped in the Earths crust that also was released during the flood, and contributed just as heavily, if not even more so, to the global flood. We see evidence of this trapped water by the Bible revealing that a mist would actually come out of the ground to provide nourishment to plant life prior to the great release of all this water during the flood.

Whether you choose to believe or not, it is a VERY interesting scientific construct that coincides more fittingly and makes more sense to what we see and know of today… and the Bible fully corresponds to the information… a LOT of which has only been discovered since sea floor mapping began after WWII.
