Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Evolution is a myth? Please explain:

Exactly.

Yet it remains true that evolution is an evidence based reality and a belief in the existence of God or gods (there are so many versions) is a matter of faith.

Yes, indeed;


"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as a useful tool." - Seneca


"I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." - Susan B. Anthony

There is no evidence for the existence of a God or gods, so there is no reason to be convinced in their existence.

You're really sensitive about your faith in the theory of evolution being seen as the same as faith in theology.

Hard ta delude yourself into your delusions of superiority, when your faith is the same as anyone else's, although in a different direction.

Which is of course what makes you inferior.

Yeah, it was a accident.

Hahaha. You deniers speak from a position of hope. Hahaha, I wonder why. You seem to hope HE fulfills the fruit of thy lips.

Still a false assertion. Perhaps a bit of study on evolution may help. I doubt it though. Some folks just prefer their own beliefs.



Who is actually assuming 'superiority' when one side is referring to evidence and ongoing research, science being a work in progress where assumptions are tested, and the other side claiming absolute knowledge, that a God (whatever that's supposed to be) created the universe and all that's in it....because that's what it says in this or that holy book, or it happens to be emotionally appealing?

That would be you.

You hide behind your claim that because your faith in the theory of evolution is based in science, it is superior to another's faith in theology, which may, or may not, be based in science.

Faith is faith, no matter the source.

But there's no doubt that faith in theology is superior, because at the least, theology as a social control agent provides a benefit to society, whereas faith in the theory of evolution, and all its studies, provide no benefit to society.

Of course there is but you refuse to acknowledge it because it doesn't constitute an ontological proof. Same is true of science as far as cosmology goes.

Seneca isn't God to me, and neither is Susan B Anthony.

Obviously not. I merely refer to science and research, which as I pointed out, is an ongoing process. Science does not claim to know the answer to the origin of the universe or how life got started, which theists claim to have the answers, their version of God created the universe and life and that is that.

You try every trick in the book to discredit evidence based science, testing and review, in an attempt to justify faith, beliefs held without evidence.



I hide behind nothing. You are equivocating science and faith by ignoring evidence.



Still the fallacy of equivocation. A belief in the realty of Allah is not to be compared to research into genetics, paleontology, etc.




Partly true in the form of Plato's Royal Lie.

Ontological proof? For example?

So you miss the point.

Thank you Father in Heaven for leaving no proof. Heaven doesn't need those too blind to see for with them theres no way it could be heavenly.

+1....

Amen.

Thanks. Great post. Amen and God bless. Truth.

Genetics and paleontology stay in their lane, i.e., they posit theories make conclusions based upon repeatable experimentation.

Scientists who support the theory of evolution refuse to acknowledge the gaps between the observations they make and the conclusions they reach.

Geneticists can make changes in organisms that could benefit society.

Paleontologists are a feelgood branch that survives off the interest in the past.

Scientist who study the theory of evolution offer no advancement to the current state of humanity.

A man who looks at the wonders of the vast universe, or the complexities of the smallest organisms and then sees no evidence of “design” or a designer is like a man who “misses the forest for the trees”. He seeks to be superior in his own eyes and tickles his desire for argument but in the end, is a fool.

They have seen one world while we have seen two and they call us liars when we tell them the truth.

They know for sure we are telling a lie rather than asking Him to show them too.
