Hello all, Both sides of this argument have been very entertaining so far. I can't recall just how much time I have sat here reading the whole thread.
Yes, us literal bible believing conservative creationists are not the sharpest tools in the tool shed. We don't really listen to much as we believe we know the truth already. And yes, I take it on faith. I am unwise in the ways of this world and I kind of know a few things about ToE but not enough to even begin to debate.
I really do believe that some of you who have posted here are very intelligent people. I am quite sure you have a more perfect understanding of science than I will ever dream of having.
That said, I have read a lot of things about Christianity on this thread and I would like to clear up a couple things. We are at the end of the Church age and just like any other period before this one, the period is ending in total corruption. What you see in the world around you that call themselves Christians are the reason that the God of the Bible is blasphemed. Jesus was a man who humbled himself and became a servant. He served God first and others second. To be a real Christian one must follow his example. He took no thought for himself. Nor did he entertain himself. He simply carried out the work of his Father in Heaven, which is the work of reconciliation. He passed that work on down to his disciples.
You can be too smart to get God. "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1 Cor 1:26" You are very useful to me as you have done so much work in modern medicine and all. The bad news is that God's ways are not our ways. God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud.
As for the thread, I vote that you go ahead and ignore real Christians. But as for those fighting mad creationists with a grudge to settle....beware of em.
God bless
