The problem is the demonic power of "rationalizing". Admitt it, you are like I was, desperately clinging to little scraps of info you heard about evolution that you believe disproves it.
If you found other ways to cope with the concept of death, do you think you might have the courage to actually study evolution in an honest way?

Even if evolution was true, would that change the fact that I believe there is a God and Jesus died on the cross for me. No. All it would change is that God took longer to create the world.

If it is true it still would not make me doubt God not even for a second. I dont have to 'cope' with death it is a natural part of life, when God says it is time for me, I am ready!
This is a silly question I dont believe in evolution why on earth would I study it. If you found other ways to cope with the concept of life, do you think you might have the courage to actually study christianity in an honest way?

I don't check links because if you can't express yourself you aren't worth responding to.
However, I cope with death, being a Christian, it is rather easy. I'm not afraid of death.
Also, the THEORY od evolution is not fact...has millions of holes in it and I have as yet ...AND I ASK PRETTY OFTEN....found anyone who can coherently explain the theory of evolution to me. I mean specifically. They just call you names. I have asked on this site also and I have not received an answer.
I want to know when, why and chronologically how evolution happened. Piltdown man, neanderthal man, Peking man, Lucy (bone fragments from all over Africa rolled into one) and the rest have all been frauds, so the believers in evolution have nothing to believe in.
So, I have studied it. It is complete nonsense....BUT it is IMPORTANT to atheists that it be true. That's why it continues. They need an alternative answer to creation.
Show me the fossils of these transitions!!! There are none. But we have dinosaur fossils don't we...so we got all sorts of stuff...but nothing that shows transition of any species to any other species!!!!!!!
There is no proof of evolution AT ALL!
If things evolved...from single celled things...how did the sexes begin? Where did that come from. Why, if you split and developed into something else...well how did we get two of each species to reproduce.
Please includ that in your answer also.
You can email me on this.
Can you be that honest?

Why do you assume everyone who is religious does disbelieve in it? I certainly don't.
That said, it is unlikely even you "understand" it fully. Evolution is a very, very complex subject, and even though the underlying premise is simple enough, I doubt anyone has fully mastered an understanding of how it has worked since the times the first lipids formed into cellular membranes. There are always improvements in our understanding of it... such as punctuated equilibrium... and questions of why certain phenomena like Island dwarfism and gigantism seem so common...
But in terms of coping, what's to cope with? Very few religions need their creation mythology to be absolutely and literally true. Be it the story of Genesis, or the world on the back of a Turtle as told by the Algonquin Indians, creation mythology can be powerful, beautiful, and in many very real ways, even true, without being Audubon field guides to prehistory.

If you stop assuming that you know the answer and allow yourself to continue learning you may become enlightened. The answer is quite a ways beyond evolution and the idea that mankind and other life forms were created as they are now. These concepts are pretty old news.

it extremely is something that i discover the two factors are in control of. it extremely is purely that human beings are entrenched of their evaluations and hence the evaluations or perspectives of the opposing factors are perceived in simplistic and as caricatures. i do no longer think of it extremely is an attempt to deceive, yet is purely human beings arguing approximately issues they are unaware of. Examples from the two factors that i've got seen on R&S: - there is quite no data for evolution (despite if authentic to a pair volume, i.e. that there is not any singular piece of information that proves it, there's a extensive physique of helping data) - faith is the reason of all wars/extra wars than something/extra suffering than something. - faith prevents scientific discovery - Islam is a violent faith - Medieval Christians have been ignorant illiterate people who believed the international replaced into flat - concept X disproves evolution... and so on and so on and so on. It gets somewhat boring after a mutually as, simply by fact it extremely is obtrusive that maximum folk make claims and counter-claims with none concept or analyze and are purely parrotting oftentimes-held yet erroneous homilies.

Dear Las Vegas Steve,
My brain works right every day. Perhaps that may be the reason why my understanding of God and the Universe is based on the Truth about evolution. God also evolved.
Now wrap your mind around that. It is called "Rational Spirituality". If you grasped it, you may abandon asking the same question.
Best wishes.

Pretty graphics and slick packaging is all that site has to offer.
Nothing new there.
What's to understand about evolution except that it is wrong?
Do you have the courage to believe Adam lived for billions of years in paradise before he died?

Beholding a scientific theory is not complex or daunting. Beholding in awe the power of God is.
Who is the coward here? The one who has a cozy worldview that death is the end of things and that he or she won't be held to account for his or her life, perhaps?
Because it is arguably the accounting for one's life in front of the creator of all that is good that is a thing weak people seek to rationalize away as something that will never happen.
There is no courage in fulfilling one's transient whims then vanishing from sight forever.

Well, at least you don't have any self confidence issues... LOL!!!
But then again...you are desperately searching for approval by posting your beliefs here... I stand corrected.
How are the concepts of God and evolution contradictory or conflicting in any way?
Oh, they don't? At all? That's what I thought.
