Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire So, which of the 6 theories of Evolution do you unbelievers believe in?

Is that your whole argument?

Do you accept that there are perhaps 20 or more hominins between australopithecine and modern humans?

OK, I will try to find something else to bitch about...

Ray's keeps giving us plenty of material.

Why do unbelievers continually and FAITHFULLY push their unbelief and harass believers of God? Some of you seem downright angry that we (believers) believe in, worship, and agape love our almighty living God. Unbelievers/atheists can’t seem to accept that believers believe in a holy, supreme, almighty, sovereign, living God by FAItH.

Why does that irk some of you? What exactly is your mission in trying to discredit our faith and belief in our God? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Did satan assign you this mission?

It takes an act of FAITH to believe God doesn’t exist, and it takes ballsy, smug arrogance to mock and belittle believers about their love of and belief in God. Some of you are FAITHFUL in your unrelenting satanic assaults.

Unbelievers and atheists lack a faith in our God but have FAITH in their belief that there is no God. Give it up. Some of us love Jesus, and Jesus is our everything.

It’s better to trust and have confidence in the Lord rather than in mere man. Psalms 118:8

Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which art in Heaven.
Matt 10:33

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Praise the Lord !!!!

Odd that a christian Diety would be just like Pagans
and their blood ritual magic human sacrifice practices.

Even the Romans as pagans abhorred human sacrifice,
as practiced by the Druids and Carthaginians which the
Romans put to the sword.

It's amazing how evidence is ignored, claiming that science is based on faith, implying that faith is a poor tool with which to determine truth....yet when it comes to the 'correct' religion, faith becomes a virtue, a beacon of truth.

A double standard, it appears. Not that evolution is based on faith.

It's a discussion. A question of sorting out what may be true or what may be false. False as in misconceptions, errors or myths. Is the sacrifice of truth a fair price for the comfort of faith?

Gotta say I love the "where's your evidence" arguments. Any decent natural historu museum has it out the wazoo. Try walking through the Smithsonian some time. You may not like it, but there it is.

And by definition theories cannot be proven, only disproven. If generally accepted they may be called "laws" but not proven. Einstein's Special Theory is still routinely tested as new experiments evolve. His predictions have been right so far but it has not been proven.

But what the hell, carry on.

It would be so much easier if firearm manufacturers
simply faithed barrels and actions instead of proofing
them.

as it stands they require increasing levels
of proof.

(a) Provisional Proof.

(b) Definitive Proof.

(c) Special Definitive Proof.

After a dozen or more posts with a basic and consistent message, you arrive at this question on page 48.

LOL

Christians can be life long God botherers,
but object to scrutinity of their parroted
blatherings.

I missed the practice of science in which blind faith is an accepted means. Could you point it out, please?

A scientific theory has two components, the world as it is, how it works and functions, the objective world...and our study of 'how it works' - which we call "theory."

Science doesn't rest on faith. Observation, evidence and testing is the foundation of science.

One should actually look at the title of this thread. Then consider who wrote the OP and reason therefor.

It appears the entire reason for the post was to invite criticism upon his faith. Some have obliged.

Okay. So where’s the double standard?

You're ruling out science as faith (which it isn't) yet choose your faith. Pretty simple to understand I thought.

And if someone else has a different religious faith to yours - which one is wrong. Maybe both?

Well, I am going to say that I believe there is a supernatural power that is unknowable. It is beyond me to understand how something like our well ordered, synchronized, rhythmic universe could come from nothing. Now as to earth and our existence. Anyone who believes the earth is only a few thousand years old is deluded. Anyone that rejects the idea that living things evolve is wrong and they need to realize a lot can change in a few million years. Anyone who believes the bible is to be taken literally must not have read the whole thing. As to the flood, I believe as the last ice age ended the ocean poured over into the Black Sea and wreaked havoc that is dimly remembered by various societies. As to the Jews, they are a remarkable people and I do believe their survival as a separate entity is a miracle and there is no other explanation for their return to Israel. I believe Jesus is who he claimed to be and brought mankind a message from the creator. I also believe there may be such a thing as reincarnation and Jesus himself even hinted at it. That might explain a lot of the misery in the world. I mostly will say there is a lot I'm not sure of but I'm sure that many of the folks that are so sure of their interpretation of God's will are full of it.

I don’t rule anything out. As DBT (and you) have pointed out, the champions of science rule out faith as a practice in science. .

That’s not a double standard. That’s a contrast (please feel
free to correct this term if you don’t consider it correctly used and it distracts you to the point of not getting my meaning).

The point is, as a Christian, I understand faith doesn’t apply to science, yet it seems like the science fans take a leap of faith in human evolution. Yes, there’s evidence. Yes, there’s a theory. But it’s not a proven theory...or a law. This is where it gets sticky because our term enforcers start to speak in absolutes. We’ve jumped from an unproven theory to its a done deal. That is a leap of faith.

Didn't you implicitly disparage faith when you applied it to science, yet extol its virtue in Christianity?
