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

The sense in which Adam is said to have been created must be taken in context, which is that Genesis clarifies that there is an equivalency between 1) God having created something and 2) nature having brought it forth in response to his command. God forming Adam from the slime of the earth must be interpreted in light of "And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life ..." That would include Adam, who is certainly a moving creature who hath life. This informs us that "The Lord formed man from the slime of the earth" is figurative, not literal.

But the time frame of six literal days of creation is given and described. If Adam/humankind evolved just as the evidence tells us, there is no need to invoke special creation or intelligent design...which is not supported by the evidence, fossil record, multiple extinction events, etc.

The time frame is allegorical.

God can command X,Y, and Z, and see that it is good, then move on to command A,B, and C, both billions of years before any of it actually takes place. Time duration and sequence is a thing for us, not for God. He doesn't live within the confines of such concepts.

That clearly avoids answering a direct question....and since the answer of “No. No human missing link has been found” doesn’t support the theory of evolution, it’s safe to assume that “no” is, indeed, the answer.

Thank you.

Highly subjective belief based on mythology
and personal fear of the unknown.



Can you disprove Santa travels around in
a flying sleigh led by Reindeer?

Santa/St. Nicholas sounds just as amazing
and credible as Bible script miracles..so
surely you believe in a magic flying sleigh.

Well, there are some real smart guys on the Fire, for sure. Seems to me the smartest are believers, though they may disagree on the mechanics and timelines.

It's been an educational and enlightening thread.

Thanks and GOD bless all those who didnt act as trolls and who revealed their own selves, GODs greatest masterpiece, and destiny through their own observations, revelations, investigations and contemplations.

Where does the allegory end then? God is allegorical?

Please prove this.

Kinda smug statement there sport.

Then maybe you would inform us how DNA came to be.

I love this question!

Seems there are 3 main lines of thought/belief on the origin and development of human beings...

(1) human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process;

(2) human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process; and

(3) God created human beings pretty much in their current form in the last 6,000 years or so.

Believe what you like. I wont tell you how to interpret the Bible. Those who are already within the fold believe rightly when they read it, at least those portions necessary for salvation. If you're not within the fold, you will understand very little if any of it correctly, try as you might.

Right. but a snake don't got one of them either.

Watch the series I recommended on systematic classifications of life, by Aron Ra. He explains it nicely.

LOL.

He didn't ask to interpret Bible for him,
he asked you how You interpret Bible.

Ie; where does the allegory end in your
interpretation.

and please lay off the 'special fold' approach.
to many dime a dozen types like that already.

Telepathy folks.

Which part of the brain does one need to communicate with another being without using speech???


49 pages,


we're almost there.

I wonder what the conclusion will be?

That's pretty basic Christian doctrine, and Biblically based.

"But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead'." - Luke 16:31

Just because it's doctrine, that doesn't make it so.

The question was obviously disingenuous.
