The man is a very dull speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said you can't discuss your implications for the length of such a discourse, but surely you can give us some more rationale and explanation behind your post?

It is a very interesting audio talk by Lamoreux. Anyone who thinks you cannot be an Evangelical Christian and an evolutionist needs to listen to it. Since coming to this forum it is the 2nd Evangelical Christian / Evolutionist I have come across. I found his talk interesting because its focus was something I debated recently with a friend at another forum. Thanks Hal for the post. It was so INTENSELY dull that I don't see how anyone could get through it. You CAN'T be an evolutionist and a believer....there is no way to do it.

Have you ever actually discussed it with any of them or read what they have to say? There are a load of blogs run by evangelicals who accept evolution where they discuss the science and theology involved; http://evanevodialogue.blogspot.com/ http://scienceandcreation.blogspot.com/ http://sfmatheson.blogspot.com/ Many of them are former anti-evolutionists and YECs. The American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) is an organisation of Christian scientists, the vast majority of whom (pretty much all of whom) accept evolution. Then there is Biologos too, started by Francis Collins. Almost every day they put up a new post on their blog on some aspect of science or Christian belief and anybody who wishes to can comment. All of these organisations are run by people who think that the God of the Bible created the universe, that Jesus rose from the dead and so on, but they also think that evolution is the way life has got here.

Well then they are people who deny the Creation as put forth in Genesis...which tells us how we came into being. No one celled organism or great apes mentioned. These are pseudo-Christians and any true believer recognizes that. I guarantee you that I will go to their blog and post; but only to tell them how foolish they are.

It's pretty easy to defend your views on a forum where essentially everyone agrees with you, and those who don't (Lurker) are shouted down with cries of "apostate." Maybe not so easy when you are in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
