Do I Have to Believe Evolution?

Well,For 116 years it graced the halls of the National Museum of Wales at Cardiff—the fossilised skeleton of a 200m[illion]-year-old predator that once cruised the Jurassic seas,” says Britain’s newspaper The Guardian. “Then curators at Cardiff decided the remains of the ocean-going carnivore ichthyosaurus needed a brush up—and realised that they had been taken in.” “When we stripped off five layers of paint we found it was an elaborate forgery,” said conservator Caroline Buttler. “It was an amalgam of two types of ichthyosaurus plus a clever attempt at fake parts.” Instead of disposing of it, the museum will put it on display as an example of a fake fossil.

Yes,It is interesting to note that Science Education says: “The basic reason why the theory of evolution is rejected by so many, many who are familiar with modern biology, is because it conflicts with the account of creation in the Bible.” If a person honestly believes that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, then, obviously, this should be the first and foremost reason why he believes in creation. He does not choose to believe in creation simply because he has become aware of flaws in the argument for evolution. No rather, he believes in creation because he believes in God and in His Word. Which is not true of you.

Of course it conflicts with the account of creation in the bible. That's because we now know that the account of creation in the bible is completely and utterly wrong. At the very least you have to wonder how plants survived without rain.

Naomi -Your so clever?

^^I don't understand your question Elderman.

I was just pointing out one of the little design faults in God's blueprint.

I think someone needs to put a penny on Elderman's arm.......he appears to have become stuck...

[RATTER15]

She certainly is Elderman, and constantly makes an a$$ out of you. lol

[beso]

Interesting. Elderman had finally started capitalising He and Him when referring to God.

[jomifl]

I don't think he edits his 'pastings' very thoroughly.

[Elderman]

Satan has used many schemes as well as “teachings of demons” to blind people’s minds. (1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Cor. 4:4) One such teaching is the doctrine of evolution,

Monday mornings sermon...Thanks Elderman......yawn

[beso]

A doctrine is a baseless belief. FOr example the concept that a book was dictated by a higher power.

Evolution is supported a vast body of research and is anything but a doctrine.

Elderman is an idiot.

[seadogg]

Not entirely sure you are right beso. I've met some of these Elders in tin pot sects and they seem to like having power over people, generally the poor suds which cannot do their own thinking.

Re "given" doctrine, spot on mate.

[Elderman]

Yes, Closely linked with pride and unstable tradition is prejudice, which springs from ignorance. It is usually found among those without sufficient knowledge of other people, and so they are willing to accept hearsay or unfounded propaganda. There are many kinds of prejudices: pride of race, of family, of country, of wealth, of class or profession, of religion, and over wrongs and other things. The attitude is a common one, ‘If I don’t like it, it’s wrong and should not be allowed.

Elderman, you really don't see the irony in what you say, do you. :o)

[Elderman]

Regarding Darwin’s Origin of Species, he observed: “We have here the supreme irony that a book which has become famous for explaining the origin of species in fact does nothing of the kind.”—Italics added.
Book also stated: “A century after Darwin’s death, we still have not the slightest demonstrable or even plausible idea of how evolution really took place

[naomi24]

Ha ha! You really should have deleted 'Italics added' before you posted that. Gosh, we may even have believed it was all your own work! Still I suppose that's what happens when you type someone else's words into your computer to see what suitable response it comes up with. :o)

[jomifl]

Elderman, you should be very careful how you use the word 'prejudice' if you knew what it meant you wouldn't use it all at all, unless of course you are being ironic.

[LazyGun]

@Elderman - If you are going to quote reviews, you should really attribute them. The quote you are so fond of is from Christopher Booker, back in 1982. Just remind me again what scientific qualifications he has that make any opinion of his of the theory of evolution interesting or meaningful?

The fact that he is a contrarian with a known bias against science and evolution goes a long way to explaining his dismissive quote, but I find it more interesting that you think that this quote advances your argument at all.
