Is it possible to believe in both God and Evolution?

That was a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference

How did this refute what I said?
Your argument basically says this
"In the naturalistic world, we can break down the incomprehensible into little bits of the comprehensible"
That means a section of God is naturalistic and subject to our logic. You can't say which parts are not though. If you can apply the laws and logic of our naturalistic world to god, so can I.
That poses a problem for you as your god is illogical but can no longer transcend our logic. So we reject your god.
That is why I brought up the 'poof of illogic' bit.

Well, two things God has lots of and that is patience and time.

the simple fact, is that any God that uses evoulution to create is not the God of the bible, unfortunatly any evidence of that is discovered that might support the opinion of Gods existance is always disregarded because people are simply too proud to admit that they need God.
Any God that uses evoulution to create is cruel and wastefull and indecicive. All evidene that i know of points toward a literal 6 day creation and a young earth (less that 6000 years old)

Every time I come across it this view renders me speechless :shrug:

The phrase "willful ignorance" comes to mind - willful in that the opinion expressed demands, not only the 'religious' avoidance of evidence, but also the pathetically self-serving distortion of the meaning of that term.

Yes exactly, it's like someone purposely seeks out the 'off' switch for rationality. I don't know.

Thank you, your post indicates concisely why YEC leads directly to atheism.

So, if you find out that the evidence does not support a 6000 year old earth, will you deconvert?

What evidence is that?

So what do you think about all those geologists--basically, all of them--who think the evidence says very different? Are they stupid? Don't know what they're talking about? A bunch of atheists who refuse to open their eyes to the truth? Engaged in a massive geological conspiracy to deny God's word? What?

Are you familiar with the evidence at all? Do you know what a varve is? Do you understand radiometric dating? Are you familiar with King's Holly? What about stalactites? Dendrochronology? Coral growths? Are you aware that they all come out the same? And that same is much, much older than 6000 years?

Well whatever it is you do for a living, I hope you do it as well as you evade questions. Let's try a yes or no: Is God incomprehensible? yes or no?

You should know that yes or no are not correct answers sometimes. You can't suck me into that one.In my view God is comprehensible only to the degree that He allows and we are able to absorb.
P.S. I don't have a problem with God using evolution .He can do whatever He wants to do.

That reminds me of a scene from the TV show MASH:

Hawkeye- Would you like to talk to Father Mulcahy, our Chaplain?
Soldier- OK, but I am an atheist.
Hawkeye- Really?
Soldier- Swear to God.

Ha Ha . That reminds of the atheist who met a bear and said " O God O God.."
