I would like to know why folks just can't accept it?

To start the christian flaming off, this was my response to another guys' question about creation. So please answer an enlighten!

I believe in Creation because it makes more sense to me. Science can only go back so far in describing the origin life until it reaches the point where their scratching their heads trying to figure out how something came from nothing. I don't know the whole story on amino acids and what not occuring naturally to result in the construction of an organism, but i really don't care..cuz its irrelevant to the fact that until SCIENCE can tell me where the first thing came from to make the second thing to grow into the third thing to morph into the

Really..



you need to study biology and history more. There are single celled organisms fossilized in rock from over 580 million years ago.

Well if you look at what is currently going on in Switzerland at the CERN labs with the LHC machine,or the Big Bang Machine they will explain the so called head scratching that you seem to think science has.



If science doesn't make sense, answer me this.



Why would an all powerful god need to send his son to earth to bring about salvation? Why not just think it and it's done?



Why is it that he waited almost a millennium from creation before realizing that he forgot to judge us?



Why are there so many contradictions in the Bible? The begats describing the lineage of christ don't match in two different places in the bible?

Let's say something did create the universe...



Still, logic does not lead to the conclusion that the creator still interacts with it's creation, nor does it prove that the creator was had a consciousness.



It doesn't conclude that the creator has instructions for this insignificant part of the universe.



Why would the creator create this perfect creation and then seek to alter it through an organism such as the evolved primates of one tiny planet?

Because evolution was through observations, and creationism kinda feels just like word of mouth and the wrong people enforce it, ya know? Not being disrespectful, just trying to answer your question as nicely as possible even if you did use the words painfully obvious ;) haha.



Now, If i might start you thinking and pondering to yourself :). I myself am not religious, but i like to think of things in different ways that feel right for me. Believing in certain things is only really necessary in my mind to make you feel at peace or for other such reasons of personal fulfillment. Now here's what i want you to just think about (don't flame me please), if you believe in God and feel like denouncing evolution, why not consider that maybe evolution and mathematics and all that stuff is God? You can't believe that God just DOES things that resemble magic, no? Science is pretty convincing and amazing stuff.. But really, how the hell does most of it work?? If you wish to believe it, perhaps God is the ultimate scientist? Take cells for example, why do they DO what they do, right? You can make scientific reasons and what not but how amazing is everything really? Why does anything do anything? Humans are amazing, but we sure can't fathom the endless possibilities of everything!

ought to then you definitely agree that - utilising your common sense - that "god" only then " 'occured' someplace in area"? And in case you do not comprehend it in those words, why? because one way or the different no longer questioning in those words is "logical" to you, or only disallowed on your modern religious custom? the hunt for the Origins of existence isn't a self-discipline with all the solutions - like many clinical fields of diagnosis, that is bright with discovery and wonder - the hallmark of a questioning and perceiving ideas. Explaining all of it away by using invaribly claiming "Goddidit" (and extremely actually adequate, your own version of the diety at that!) is in accordance with an smug certitude, it really is the hallmark of religious conception. manage your self to a visit to the library, or visit the practise business organisation's cyber web web site and reserve a replica of their lecture THE ORIGINS OF existence. it may no longer make you a extra powerful Christian, inspite of the undeniable fact that it will make you a extra honest one. EDIT: And making a declarative reality that you're utilising common experience does no longer for this reason advise you're, in reality, utilising common experience. fact is, once you would possibly want to declare it, that's uncertain you're everywhere contained in the ballpark of it.

its painfully obvious that creaion "theory"(if it is even worthy of that word) is in fact a falsehood for the simple reason it was made up pretty much on the spot and has absolutely zero proof supporting its validity



i will tell you something else too even the apparently mundane science i get paid to practice everyday helps to save lives, i screen blood samples all day long and this means that everyday thousands of diseases are caught early enough to be cured therefore saving a life each time thats what science does for us bub.



p.s. if jade goody's smear samples had come through my lab she would be okay by now

Profound, yes. Supernatural, no...



The chemistry does allow for a combination of events that creates a replicating molecule. Our problem is that there are now around two dozen candidate descriptions of event combinations that could have produced early replicators. What we're struggling with is finding a way to establish which one of those two dozen event combinations was *the* combination which actually occurred.



Explaining it is therefore not difficult. Discovering which specific explanation is 'the one' is a little more so...

God created the Universe and the original animals which then evolved from that point in accordance with Darwin's theory. To allow us to study it he created a back history in the fossil record, and for a joke left major gaps in it which wouldn't be there is it had occurred naturally.

Science cannot explain why the universe came into being ("Big Bang" is just a label for something they cannot understand) or how life first occurred. Give me bacteria, some algae and a few billion years, I might see a planetary biosphere evolve, but give me nothing and a billion years later I'll still have nothing.

Wow you are totally out of touch with mainstream christianity!!



The Pope, Catholic Church, Church of England and mainstream churches all accept evolution and the big bang!!



Lord Carey the former Archbishop of Canterbury put it rather well – “Creationism is the fruit of a fundamentalist approach to scripture, ignoring scholarship and critical learning, and confusing different understandings of truth”!!

because it is painfuly obvious that most religions dont follow common sense.

never do we see someone reincarnated until medical science comes around, except in religions.

creationism is not a truth until proven, the big bang is not truth because we cannot prove it. gravity is still a theory because we have no idea where it comes from, but we experience it everyday.

i've never heard god talk to me like he talked to countless people in the bible. to me it just makes no sense where I'm told to believe in the bible when biblical things don't happen anymore. with that as my observation i can conclude that those things probably never happened.

So if you need Science to tell you where the first thing came from to make the second thing to grow into the third thing, then asnwer this...



If God made the earth then who made GOD? Where did he come from?

Why do you need to know how/why we are here? What satisfaction will be achieved by being right? I'll tell you: Absolutely nothing. Why not try spending you days trying to find inner peace. It's well worth the effort.

God: No proof at all

Science: So much proof that we made laser beams and the internets with it



Take your pick dude.



Also; if you've never wondered why you believe the same thing as your parents, now's the time!

I can't "just accept it" when there is no evidence that it is true. Creationism has just as many problems with it. Who made god? for a start.

I'm going to explain this to you in the simplest way possible.



"I don't know," means "I don't know."



"I don't know," does NOT mean "I don't know, therefore I DO know and what happened is Magic Man dun it."



The proper response to "I don't know," is not to make up a bunch of stupid crap. The proper response is to go investigate. If the investigation reveals nothing, then you may conclude that "I STILL don't know at this time."

have any of you "christians" ever considered the possibility that if there is a god, that he created evolution? there are scientists of many christian faiths who believe that.
