    Life From Dirt?

    At least they are conclusions and not just "We don't know" statements as atheists/skeptics give. There are no conclusions from science or skeptics and atheists that say there is no God unless a few assumptions etc are thrown into the logic. Theists have something and atheists have nothing. But...

    Life From Dirt?

    I did not read the whole article but did note that they said they are not certain of the absolute truth of their results as they have not tested all other possible scenarios. I don't know if they tested on life groups that are completely divergent in the tree of life, such as mushrooms and...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    1Corinthians is said to have been written in the early to mid 50s AD and was being written to people who knew of and probably had heard the witnesses speak. That is pretty good historical hearsay writing when compared to other historical records of events that we have. For those who do not use...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    There is evidence of a very large local flood thousands of years BC in that area. There are also reasons why the Ark could have landed in the foothills of the Mountains of Ararat even if it started at a lower altitude. There are also reasons why the flood might have taken so long to subside...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    The Epistles of Paul are hearsay, much earlier than when the gospels were written, and his audience knew the truth of what he wrote here, that Cephas (Peter) taught the resurrection of Jesus. 1 Corinthians 15:3-11 “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, … that...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    The Ark is not said to have ended up on a mountain. It came to rest in what is called the mountains of Ararat. Ararat was a region and the mountains can be seen as the hills in that region.

    Life From Dirt?

    That is like the question that asks: What are the criteria by which you can say that something was not designed? I might decide intuitively but others, who work in science, want to try to do it rationally and so Michael Behe came up with the idea of irreducible complexity.

    The speculation comes in deciding what are the facts.

    Life From Dirt?

    Cause and effect tell us the direction of time, that it goes in a direction. A cause and effect can begin at the same time, the beginning, and continue through time.

    There are others who have gone deeper into it and can explain it rationally.

    Life From Dirt?

    If the evidence said "no" then it would be irrational to say "yes". What is irrational about believing in God? If I do not believe in the theory of evolution then I cannot know anything about evolution because I have not even the basic necessity of belief, which can carry me forward in my...

    You have chosen non belief in a designer but belief in chance and natural forces. If you want to go on the journey you need to begin.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    IMO my beliefs are not contrary to the claims in the Bible, just to the common translations of the Bible. Alternative legitimate translations can support a local flood imo.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    Being witnesses of the risen Jesus.

    Life From Dirt?

    My faith in a designer/creator who does things with a purpose in mind.

    But of course you don't know that common sensing design is wrong do you?

    Life From Dirt?

    What I said is that if what appears to be facts shows that the Bible is wrong then I have to just accept that. But as I have also said, the full scientific theory of evolution is not known to be factual all the way through, and in fact it is not known if a God or pixies were involved in the...

    Yet there are commonalities in the corrollaries that come from being atheist/skeptic.

    Life From Dirt?

    Well yes, it's no good without belief that they might be true experiences. But it's a start and it can lead to finding a cosmic purpose. With faith in whatever deity it is, all these things can become evidence for that deity.

    Life From Dirt?

    It is evidence because it points to the truth of something. It is a matter sometimes of belief in a story or being incredulous that something could happen without a designer. It's one of those things that needs an operating system that works or not, nothing in between. If you say so. I...
