I don't 'fear' evolution. 'Fear' is a co-opted leftist term used as a veiled way to scream 'heretic' while hiding the faith aspect of their doctrines.
If we evolved, scientists sure haven't made a very good case of it. Give me something that holds water and I might listen.
@Free VulcanThank you. That was a smug attempt by the author similar to "homophobia" BS.
Here's the thing. I'm not going to try to find ways to fit the Bible into evolutionary theory. Rather,I'm going to see if evolution fits into the Bible. It doesn't. I know a lot of Christians recoil at the idea of being viewed as an unsophisticated snake-handler, but oh,well.
If it took millions of years for life to evolve, what's the basis for the sabbath? Where does it even come from? It's based on the creation week, so if that didn't happen...?
The Bible says that sin, death, suffering, etc. came into the world after the Garden--in other words, after Adam and Eve brought it about. But the fossil record shows plenty of death and suffering before humans showed up. Both can't be right.
The men who wrote down the Bible believed in the creation account; they referred to it many times. Jesus Himself spoke of "He who made them
at the beginning", which is the same phrase used in Genesis. In other words, humans did not come along toward the end of an evolutionary process.
I know I'm expected to call Jesus a liar so intellectuals will approve of me, but it's not happening.
If we go down the road of the creation account being an allegory, then how much more Scripture is allegorical? How do we know what we can trust? Why did Jesus even die on the cross if we can't be sure that sin came into the world and requires His redemption?
Charles Darwin vacillated between agnosticism and outright atheism, at one point in 1880 saying in a letter that He didn't believe the Bible as a divine revelation and therefore not in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Somebody want to tell me why on earth I should accept his attempt to explain away God's creation? Or why I'm supposed to say, "Oh well, harrumph, I'm sure it fits in somewhere, and what do I know."
Yeah, nope.
