One of the things that Christians say to try and persuade others to join is the Bible, and that God made the world. They say that God made the world and it wasn't evolution.
There proof of this . . . .
WHAT EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION.
So in the spirit of this exercise, of attempting to be a born again Christian, I have to ask those who aren't Christian, what evidence of evolution.
Of course there is a logical fallacy here that yes there are some christians who believe in evolution, and of course not all non christians are evolutionists, but again,
this is an exercise, an attempt at seeing the world through the eyes of a born again christian, this is from what i can tell i would be like if i was a born again christian
ok thanks

Psalm 9
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonders.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3 My enemies turn back;
they stumble and perish before you.
4 For you have upheld my right and my cause;
you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy,
you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished.
7 The LORD reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.
8 He will judge the world in righteousness;
he will govern the peoples with justice.
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers;
he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
13 O LORD, see how my enemies persecute me!
Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 that I may declare your praises
in the gates of the Daughter of Zion
and there rejoice in your salvation.
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The LORD is known by his justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
Higgaion. Selah
17 The wicked return to the grave,
all the nations that forget God.
18 But the needy will not always be forgotten,
nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish.
19 Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph;
let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror, O LORD;
let the nations know they are but men.
Selah

Is this the evidence for evolution?
Piltdown Man - A deliberate hoax. Ended up being a ape jaw attached to a human skull that was stained to look old.
Java Man - The discover later rejected it stating that a human & ape were just found in proximity.
Peking Man - Tools & human bones were found near the apes whose brains they were eating (monkey brains are still eaten in China).
Nebraska Man - An entire person (and family) was envisioned from a single tooth... a tooth that later proved to have come from a pig.
Lucy - Reclassified as an extinct ape.
Ramapithecus - A jaw & teeth were eventually dismissed as early human in origin (an Orangutan).
Neanderthal.... a man?
It was once thought that the Neanderthal was a man. But, thanks to advancement in science, genetic DNA research indicates that the chromosomes do not match those of humans. They do match those of bi-pedal primates (apes) though.
Tools? The use of crude tools by Neanderthal does not mean they were human. Many animals including birds, fish, and mammals use "tools".
Shelter? If Neanderthal created shelters, it does not imply they were human. Many animals (beavers, birds, bees) also construct shelters.
Religion? There is no evidence that Neanderthal practiced any form of worship or religion. Interestingly, that is the primary way the bible separates Man from animals.
Why then do some people still insist Neanderthal was man?

You obviously have a wrong understanding of what it means to be born again. Let me try to explain.
Being a Christian, is not about mental consent to a certain idea. It's not about embracing an ideology. You see, the part of you that needs to be reborn is not your brain but your heart!
You could believe in God and Jesus and heaven and hell and everything else but still not be what the Bible considers a born-again believer.
What does it mean to be born into the Spirit of God or to be born again? It's all about understanding who you are and who God is.
It's about knowing that you need God, that even your best will never be good enough and that you need His forgiveness and His power, to become the person He created you to be.
God is not offering you a brainwashing experience or a life philosophy, He wants to become your father, to have a relationship with you.
You couldn't possibly pretend to be born again that would be like pretending to be married to someone you have never met!! How would you possibly know what that is like???

Praise him! Praise him! God is good all the time! All the time God is good! I don't believe in evolution because God created the Bible and the Bible is true and the Bible has nothing to do with evolution. So sorry if I disappointed u.

Yes Mr Jim-I will praise the LORD.
You know the Bible tells us when we are praying for something in God's will-that we should..."speak to those things that are not as though they were...", so-I will start calling you Bro. Jim. Because I have been praying for your salvation. I will not stop until you are born again, or.....I will not say at this point what else will stop me. Just you believe I am praying for you. You are on my list. We did some serious shouting for your soul last Sunday, and we will do it again.

There is some evidence of evolution, take the new fish/land animal they found that came about 280 million years ago. But they still don't have the link between ape and human. And, even though evolution is TAKEN as fact, it is ACTUALLY just a theory.

If you don't know that there are THOUSANDS of pages of proof and evidence for evolution, compared to one outdated book of bronze age mythology for creationism, then I won't try to convice you.
Measure the world against what people say about the world. You'll quickly reject any notion of a god as I did...

Jim, what's with this phrase, born again. Do you mean in your former life you were a Christian? Or you used to be a Christian.
Don't you mean, a new born Christian. Sorry, I'm confused.

Perhaps the proof of evolution is in the fact it is continuing still?
I would be more concerned with the number of people worshiping a human being. Isn't that the mark of a cult?
