Hmm, not everyone. lolEverybody accepts evolution.
Most?Most people don’t accept Darwin’s theory.
So, do you believe that evolution was a God-guided process?It is the rejection of that, that gets these guys goats.
Me, too. I believe in Jesus' teachings, as well. I'd say though that I believe science and faith can coexist, but unfortunately, many theists are branded ''irrational,'' if they think God had anything to do with creation.I am a monotheist.
I believe in the One God, The Supreme Cause of ALL Causes, Who Himself is not caused.
The creator of gods, and all creatures.
I see, we are like an ant-farm for God's entertainment. Good to know.For His creatures.
Why should Jesus' teachings be evidence of God? Is Muhammad's teaching evidence of Allah?I am a monotheist.
I believe in the One God, The Supreme Cause of ALL Causes, Who Himself is not caused.

Jan Ardena said:Most people don’t accept Darwin’s theory.
Jan will probably try to weasel out of this one too. Notice how he carefully did not specify which "people" he was referring to, there? That leaves it open to him to define some particular group that has the required majority view, later.wegs said:Most?
So you say.Remember that critics of religion at Sciforums, generally speaking, don't know a whole lot about what they criticize; also keep in mind that some of them actually think they don't need to know about what they criticize.
Before Jan tries to pull the wool over your eyes yet again, let's be clear: Jan doesn't believe in evolution, period. Not in any meaningful sense. Not in the way that any competent scientist would use that term. Jan is a creationist, not a believer in "guided" evolution.So, do you believe that evolution was a God-guided process?
It's not what I mean...address the BS out there..it's not mine you know.“a loving God”?
What do you mean by that?
Jan the proposition is simple please give me a direct honest reply.Things are designed for necessity, according to specific laws. Excuse me while I round up some sheep in my Bentley. Because my helicopter is being repaired.
Come on Jan pick one or the other.We are immortal.
This life is temporary.
Cut to the bottom line...if God has control why do we have sexual abuse? Does it make him happy?Sexual abuse occurs because we become slaves to the dictates of our senses. Our senses are are firmly attached to our temporary bodies.
??? Seriouslyaddress the issue.
You’re the one who asked the question.It's not what I mean...address the BS out there..it's not mine you know.
You’re jumping on the “atheist bandwagon too”?Jan the proposition is simple please give me a direct honest reply.
I don’t need to.Come on Jan pick one or the other.
Already dealt with the issue.Cut to the bottom line...if God has control why do we have sexual abuse? Does it make him happy?
Stop sidestepping and address the issue.

Yes they do, because it’s a reality.Hmm, not everyone. lol
They accept the word of the popularisers, and mainstream scientists.Most?
I believe nothing can happen, without the Will of God.So, do you believe that evolution was a God-guided process?
You shouldn’t have to hold that belief.Me, too. I believe in Jesus' teachings, as well. I'd say though that I believe science and faith can coexist, but unfortunately, many theists are branded ''irrational,'' if they think God had anything to do with creation.
Whose lecturing atheists?Why don't religious people sort out their own Books and Gods, before they presume to lecture atheists?
It’s a start.I see, we are like an ant-farm for God's entertainment. Good to know.
Since when has being a reality been sufficient for everyone to believe in it? The world is not flat, yet some people do not believe that reality and instead believe the world is flat. So for you to offer “because it’s a reality” as support for your claim that everyone accepts evolution is insufficient.Yes they do, because it’s a reality.
That in itself is not evidence of evolution, though, but rather just a biological trait that those horses happen to have. Move them to different temperatures and they grow coats accordingly. If God came along and created horses with that capability, where is the evolution?They might not know to call it evolution, but they have to accept it. You can draw it to their attention, by looking at the different types of animals that adapt to certain condition. For example horses grow hair to combat very cold climates, and shed it when it gets warm.
Everyone accept that.
Yep it is consistent and compatible with all other atheists.Whose lecturing atheists?
They can stay atheist as far as I’m concerned.
It’s the best position for them to be in.
A start of what?It’s a start.
The Earth I experience is flat. As for the whole earth,?I can only go on what evidences there are. But the “reality” is, I don’t know.Since when has being a reality been sufficient for everyone to believe in it? The world is not flat, yet some people do not believe that reality and instead believe the world is flat. So for you to offer “because it’s a reality” as support for your claim that everyone accepts evolution is insufficient.
Why is that not evidence of evolution/natural selection? Isn’t that what Darwin experienced with the finches?That in itself is not evidence of evolution, though, but rather just a biological trait that those horses happen to have. Move them to different temperatures and they grow coats accordingly. If God came along and created horses with that capability, where is the evolution?
I’m here to engage in discussion.A better question is; Are you sorting your books and beliefs among all other theists?
