Can a christian believe in evolution?

[Guest Called]

I would say "NO" also. Evolution takes God completely out of the equation, therefore how can a Christian believe in it?

[dwinkjr]

I know ALOT of Scientists and teachers that believe in Evolutionism as Creationism, Which means God Used evolution for creation. Do i personally believe this? Nope... Have I done my research on the topic? Nope... Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Nope...

Praise Jesus for he is Salvation, he is the Way, the Truth, and the life. And by him we shall come to the Father, by him we are redeemed. Let us look to our Saviour and not to Scientists.

God Bless,

Dave

a very interesting site that explains why evolution is a false teaching and backs up the authority of the bible from the very first verse is:

To me, it doesn't matter how God created us, only that God created us.

Greetings Bob Triez,

In fact, you have no argument from me at all period. But I saw it as a foregone conclusion that we could assume evolutionists see it that we arrived from nothing....so I started at step 2 - current life depending on the death of prior life to "perfect" existing life forms....that's what I meant....and that [ concept ] is not Biblical.

I suspected you knew what you were talking about, but you just didn't seem to word it properly. Here you are saying you were talking about reincarnation(?), which of coure is NOT Biblical. Everything is running "downhill", sin increases, death increases. There is never an upward evolution.

Thank you and God bless,

Dad Ernie

if you do not believe in one aspect of the Bible, then you might as well not believe in any of it.... for each and every part of the Bible, backs its self up with other parts of the Bible...

we can not choose and pick what we want to believe in Gods Word...

if we start taking parts of it out, then it will not hold up..... that includes Creation....

the only evolution is the kind ( macro, i believe ) that is where a woman and a man produce children..... the children are then a mix between the mother and the father..... no new creatures, but veriations of the existing.....

man with dark skin and dark hair, mother with light skin and light hair

child 1, dark skin, dark curly hair

child 2, light skin, dark curly hair

child 3, dark skin dark straight hair

child 4, light skin, dark straight hair

and so forth..... each child carries all the information for all the combinations and even mixtures of the combination...

child 5 medium dark skin, light straight hair,

child 6 medium dark skin, light curly hair

child 7 medium dark skin, dark straight hair,

child 8 medium dark skin dark curly hair....

and this can continue on with every trait that each of the parents have....

dont matter how many veriations there are, they are still of the same spieces....

even if two of the children that have the most desirable traits that they like, have children, and they have children and so forth, all you will come up with is a more stable set of traits that will be less likely to have some of the other traits coming thru......

a friend of mine has a peticular hunting dog, that is bread for contest, but his dog is an off colour, which they normally put down as soon as they know the colour, for these dogs are suppose to be a specific colour, and they do not want the colour to change, but being they all came from some dog stock somewhere, there are still traits that come thru, even many generations later......

all the dogs that have been bread and rebread, are still just dogs, they have not turned into lions or chimps or people......

so

how can one that believes in any of the Bible.... any of it..... believe in evolution???

and if they do, which parts of the Word of God are they throwing out in order that they might believe the way they want to?

My thoughts exactly.

Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

God always has been. He alone created the universe and everything in it. If this isn't the whole truth then how could the rest of the bible be valid?

Hi, jcm -

I'm not sure why you brought this up.

I'm even less sure if I should respond.

I'll just say this - when I began reading Genesis 1 as a theological revelation (as I believe it should be read) rather than a scientific disortation (which is really odd since scientific thought and understanding and perspective did not exist at the time the words were recorded), I began gaining a much greater meaning out of the passage.

Something to think about.

[jcm]

I was just curious what everybody thought. It's been really helpful.

I could go on, but I don't have the whole URL's because they are saved on my *old* computer. :x:

Evolution says that man and women were alive millions of years ago, when God says that they were created shortly ago, with woman being made from an already-fully-formed man's side.

The whole problem I have with EVILution is that it makes God the author of death, bloodshead, disease and suffering instead of man (as Bob already pointed out).

Another interesting chapter to read is 1 Corinthians 15. It talks about Adam's sin and death as well.
