Huh?!?!?! It is not a matter of how I feel. You do not remotely know how I feel.Sorry u feel that way
A survey of Christian theologians in the States concluded that roughly 70% believed one could believe in both Divine creation and the ToE.Only one is right, including the science of evolution.
Theologians do not represent the the beliefs at the grass roots. Polls indicate between 38 and 47% of those polled in the last 30 years believe humans were Created in their present form, current poll 40%. In 2014 the polls indicated that 46% believe evolution was in conflict with their beliefs. This is representative of the whole population. If you separate Christians the percentage is higher/ Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent DesignA survey of Christian theologians in the States concluded that roughly 70% believed one could believe in both Divine creation and the ToE.
I think I got a pretty good ideaHuh?!?!?! It is not a matter of how I feel. You do not remotely know how I feel.
70% are wrong as there’s only one explanation as to how we got here imo.A survey of Christian theologians in the States concluded that roughly 70% believed one could believe in both Divine creation and the ToE.
That's right. They had eyes but didn't see.Who said u need eyes to look?
The cognitive dissonance is in you in that you fail to realize there IS a God and He is greater than his laws. (Have a good one...)Unfortunately cognitive dissonance keeps creationists from understanding that they are calling God a liar. In fact when I ask them that they more often than not twist the question and seem to think that I am calling God a liar. The person that you responded to does not understand your point and may never do so.

Evolution without any supernatural influence.70% are wrong as there’s only one explanation as to how we got here imo.
Who told you this? And why did you decide to believe them?The cognitive dissonance is in you in that you fail to realize there IS a God and He is greater than his laws.
The cognitive dissonance is not with scientists, but with those that take faith in ancient tribal scripture in asserting the rejection of science.
IF God exists God did not Create false physical evidence concerning the nature of our existence. Of course, God does not lie.
Your God is self contradictory so it clearly does not exist. You cannot see that. You appear to be too afraid to learn. For some odd reason you believe that not only is your version of God a liar. You also believe that God is very evil I guess that might explain your fear.The cognitive dissonance is in you in that you fail to realize there IS a God and He is greater than his laws. (Have a good one...)
But once again I ask on RF, what real entity do you intend to denote when you say "God"? Or am I right in thinking that the only manner in which God is known to exist is as a set of ideas / concepts / things imagined in individual brains?The cognitive dissonance is in you in that you fail to realize there IS a God and He is greater than his laws. (Have a good one...)
70% are wrong as there’s only one explanation as to how we got here imo.
No you do not. You apparently do not comprehend the facts and the limits of fallible humans of what we can 'see' versus what we believe concerning the nature of our physical existence. What we 'see' should have some common agreement with what one believes.I think I got a pretty good idea
Evolution is about MORTALS.
Creationism is about IMMORTALS.
The two aren't comparable.
For Gods' sake!
We know with certainty that life forms have evolved and appear to be still doing so, thus the only serious question is what are the mechanisms that are generating these changes? Even common sense supports this, namely that all material objects tend to change over time, and genes are material objects.If you look at the theory of evolution, science uses statistical methods to support it.
The reality is that the Creation accounts simply don't make one iota of sense at the literalistic level but can make a great deal of sense if taken at the allegorical level. It is likely that the original penning of the accounts was to offer a different position from the earlier and much more widespread Babylonian polytheistic creation narrative. A Babylonian tablet was found in northern Israel that predates the writing of Genesis, so at least some Jewish scholars would have been familiar with their beliefs.
That's too broad a stroke for my blood. No doubt much of it was taken as literal history but not necessarily all of it. Maimonides, for example, felt that the first dozen or so "chapters" in Genesis should not be taken as literal history as parts may well be allegorical.You need to take into account the authors of Genesis and Exodus considered the documents as literal history., even though later authors of the OT and NT often used the accounts in both a literal and an allegorical manner. The position concerning the context of the Creation accounts was not much different.
If you look at the theory of evolution, science uses statistical methods to suport it.
What is the science behind random change?
Who is/are the god or gods that create blank spaces in the mortal mind that can defy his ability to reason? Science has not been able to create life from scratch in the lab, yet life is here on earth. This initial event is part of the blank space, attributed to the gods behind cards and dice. It is not phrased that way. However, it still requires faith in what is still not seen in the lab. What is the faith attached to? Who are the gods of the voids.
Creationism also has it blank spots, but overall it tries to assign a God of design and choice, instead of gods of dice and cards who walks around randomly, like someone who had too many drinks, and where he will falls, the oracle tries to predict.
The ideas of God's plan implies a deterministic universe subject to mortal reason, once we know all the data. It does not imply a universe subject to whim and chance, with lots of gaps and voids that are taboo to see without an oracle to guide you.
Casino science is a type of religion. It tries to read the minds of the immortals that create the blank spaces in reason. It is not sold that way, since this would have consequences, but it adds up to faith in blank spaces and voids, and a dark unknown force that can make voids anywhere at anytime. Sounds like the work of the immortals of the void. This pins them down so reason can fill in the void spots.
