A way to reverse the cultural decay in America is to take a stand for truth -- which means exposing frauds like evolution and global warming. I've read many books that question evolution and this pseudoscience is on par with the flat earth theory.

But the truth is a difficult pill for liberals to swallow and espcially, as Ann Coulter put it in Godless, when they consider Darwinism to be a religion. It never ceases to amaze me how the self-proclaimed intellectuals can get away with believing that fish used to walk and that reptile scales turned into flight-worthy feathers.

It's what is happening, and in my humble opinion it's not about changing the government, or what "America" believes. It's about individual persons and winning them over for Christ, for His sake not ours. Christians living a Christ filled life and exemplifying this via their life thereby being an example for others that want that life too. These fads and popular scientific belief's are going to continually be on the forefront as is Shriek or whatever, but Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. In the end it'll be as He expressed in the parable of the wheat and the tares.

   One of the more qualified critics of the theory was Darwin who pointed out  that there were some serious holes in it.

Yes, Darwin did as he grew older change from being atheistic to agnostic. "The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble to us; and I for one must be content to remain an Agnostic." His upbringing is evident in his belief, which should serve as a lesson for parents desiring their children to have a life long and firm belief. "I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so the plain language of the text seems to show that the men who do not believe, and this would include my father, brother, and almost all of my friends, will be everlasting punished." What Darwin failed to recognize is that it was their-his choice, which is ironic in that he embraces natural selection. Obviously he failed to make the correct and most natural selection available, that of course being that God created nature. See Colossians Chap. 2 vs.'s 15-17.

Hey boys,

Evolution is Science, not fraud.  Open up those closed minds and expose yourself to the many Science Facts that have emerged from Science Fiction.

Our space program is another example of what lies ahead, NOT BEHIND.

Thomas Jefferson took all the miracles out of the bible as they are fiction, based on ghost stories.

 

the bible is a good primer for society to not become extinct.

tally ho

sure evolution is science - and the theory holds too - just not in all cases and applications

it explains how beaks get longer and shorter.. how whales returned to the ocean but it doesn't explain how not life got to be life.   And that's where all the trouble is. 

Darwin wasn't trying to explain the origin of life but its diversity.  So it makes little sense to declare him bankrupt of value on the latter when his work addressed the former.

Besides - who is to say God wouldn't use and engine like evolution to populate his planet?

pole.cat, You are entitled to believe as you desire. It's your free will. Please though don't tell me how I am to believe, and we'll get along, i.e., coexist. No one, I don't think is forcing you to believe that the Bible is the Truth. I will say though that the joy and refreshing life changing experience that comes about from accepting Christ as ones Saviour is unparalleled, and incomparable. I must also remind those that continue to reject Christ, that that is the only unpardonable sin. Think about it. It's not about me and what I say, or Martin Luther, or Thomas Jefferson, or anyone except you and your one on one relationship with the Creator, who is the designer of all science, and all that is, or will be. What do you really have to lose for making a sincere educated investigation into His (Christ's) claims? The worst thing that could happen to you is that you would have used some of your time. On the other side though you just may have an epiphany and come to know Christ for who He really is. You are the only one that may control that no matter what others may say or try to force upon you. We're only on this earth for a short time. Don't you think it's worth an educated investigation. Maybe you could even think of it as a challenge? God loves you pole.cat even if some people don't. They cannot help it. That is part of the challenge.

It's interesting that you immediately jump to attacking the Bible, as if that supports evolution. Evolution, which poses as a science, should be able to stand on its own. However instead of holding its own with real science like physics, chemistry and biology, its advocates have to attack people of faith.

Also, the fact that evolution is dependent upon lame assumption, half-truths, hoaxes and an agenda of atheism also shows what a sham it is.

Evolution as an alternative to intelligent design posits that all current species evolved from existing species (or extinct species while they were viable) and achieved the current complexity and diversity beginning with non-living matter in an uninterrupted process.  The process is one of continuous events that were significant enough to create a new specie and widespread enough to ensure that each new specie could survive at least long enough for the next evolutionary event to produce the next specie in the evolutionary chain.  While it acknowledges that only the fittest will survive and therefore many mutants will disappear, it requires that the mutations in the evolutionary path to todays diversity of species all created an improved being, which is in direct opposition to the nature of the universe and entropy.  A specie is defined as the lowest unit of classification that is capable of reproduction of fertile offspring.  So simply a change in dominance of color, whether insect or human, for example, is not the same as creation of a new specie.  Evolution cannot occur by interbreeding.  Only by mutation of one specie into a fitter specie.

How could this occur without external input (such as intelligent design) is beyond comprehension to this humble engineer.

One argument in favor of evolution might be that once a false (fake) news story or a rumor or a scare (Y2K end of the world all hell going to break out) is posted on a web blog forum and emailed to enough "TRUE BELIEVERS" who want it to be so it has an inherent ability to morph into the absolute truth leading to petitions and insistences upon overthrowing a nation's national governance. It becomes a living organism without any assistance at all from an external input which could in any way be considered responsible for an intelligent design.Tongue outLaughingWink

Thank you on both counts. Being an attorney who has not yet been killed pursuant to the suggestion which has been made, I do manage to get one off now and then. Like the blind hog that turns up an acorn now and then?Smile

that or the other fraud foisted upon us from time to time, namely the perpetual motion machine.  Cool

It depends on who you ask. One day it's gradualism and the next it is punctuated equilibrium.

Interbreeding is a risk, but not a guarantee of bad offspring.  What happens is that defects which might be minor or recessive, are more likely to be seen with interbreeding.  Perhaps the original 2 were more or less perfect and there were no faults until some time had passed and offspring were exposed to external mutagens and also to express traits that were favored in their environment.  But not having been there, all we can do is speculate.

But forgetting for a moment if there were only Adam and Eve in the beginning.  Suppose there was evolution and the "missing link" is found.  Wouldn't the same situation exist?  One or 2 or a very small number of a viable new specie called man spontaneously appears via evolutionary mutation of a previous specie.  They would also have to interbreed to grow and populate, would they not?

There's no child story in the Biblical record of Creation, including Adam being created from the dirt/dust of the Earth. Afterwards, while in a God-induced sleep, the Creator of the whole universe took from Adam one of His ribs and created Eve to be Adam's mate/wife, not from Earth's dirt/dust was she created but from Adam's rib...flesh of his flesh, bone of his bone. Eve was fashioned from Adam's DNA. They mated/procreated and had children, many children. Those children with all of the diversities God had created in their DNA mated with each other and procreated. That is true and it's the Truth. There is no lie in that. Billions of people inhabit the planet today and billions have and billions more may before mankind's history is brought to its final conclusion but mankind certainly started with one male human being and one female human being. Was there what you call inbreeding?, yes. There still is to this day. Is procreation between a brother and sister of the same family held in disdain today?, yes, for scientific reasons discovered through the years. Does denouncing incest today somehow discount the truth of mankind's genealogical history?, no. Why would it and how would it?

As a Christian, who has no faith in anything religious, I can tell you that it would require a far greater faith than that which I have in God's Scriptures, and a greater imagination than I have ever possessed or could ever hope to possess, to believe in the theory of evolution as factual and truthful.

If the concern is that there were only two... well, few options huh?  The alternative, under that scenerio, is no incest and no more people.  Take your pick.
