If you believe in God AND evolution, why do you believe in God?

[Spice]

I believe in both, evolution and God.

From the first cell of non-life creation, there was some mysterious "force" that began the divides. Mysteriously "energy" showed up in a single cell that set it off to divide in LIFE. The division, growths, alterations, mutations, etc. IS creation and evolution. Some with no life as we know it, and some with what we recognize as life. But always changing. Always in evolution motion.

Some may think that the very first cell itself is "God" and God itself is expanding with each division. Most seem to think that "God" is a separate puppetmaster of that cell and its continuous action, and that God's breath determines life among certain cells.

But evolution continues with nothing added or removed, just different manifestations, configurations, divisions of that first single cell of creation.

However it's contemplated, that Higher Power of Mystery, Energy, Force, the Infinite One that started it all, that is what I designate as God.

Again: would all of your justifications for belief in God be undermined if you accepted that evolution is real?

That is not my question.

Again, why do you believe in God?

 

[YoursTrue]

Lol...gotta laugh ..no answers Amazing so far.

Because "something" is the energy and life force of creation. That "something" is what I see as God. The Infinite One. Do you understand, now?

I gave you an answer, so I'm at a lost as to what you're expecting. If you believe I could only believe in God if I was told of Him in the Bible, you won't hear it here. God, IMO, is so very, very much more than what the Bible testifies to.

Sorry I wrote that before I read your more explicit response. At least you gave a reason, thanks.

That is not my question.

Isn't it? You asked why someone who believed in God and evolution would believe in God.

Are you afraid to answer because your beliefs are incompatible with evolution, or because they're compatible?

 

[Regiomontanus]

A statement like that calls for some backup.

I would challenge you to prove otherwise. You want a freebie (existence) and then argue some legitimacy? LOL

Please get serious, I am aging rapidly

 

[Quintessence]

So far no brave people...lol...ok ..willing to express why they believe in God if they believe in evolution as well Sad but interesting. Mostly sad.

Why is it "sad" to accept the reality of the gods and that one of them is Evolution?

 

[YoursTrue]

It's sad because few here who are members of a religion and believe in evolution without question or doubt say why they also believe in God.

 

[YoursTrue]

Oh? So you believe evolution is a god?

 

[YoursTrue]

I asked the question. I don't believe in the theory of evolution so that doesn't pertain to me.

So you were just flapping your gums. Good to know.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

I asked the question. I don't believe in the theory of evolution so that doesn't pertain to me.

But you believe in God, right?

Do all of your justifications for belief in God rely on rejecting evolution?

I don't want to insult you but frankly my dear I think your gums are flapping.

I have said on other threads why I believe in God. I do not believe in the theory of evolution therefore the question on this thread does not pertain to me.

What, you are saddened by the idea that your targets are not wanting to be targeted?

That depends on what your motivation for this thread is.

If you're trying to understand this point of view, then what I've suggested is relevant. If you're just looking to make people you disagree with squirm, then I agree it's not.

Be brave--and support your belief in God with reason, if possible, please. That is if you believe in evolution as well as in God.

I can't support by worldview with reason as it is based on faith and belief.
