Answer 1

You are absolutely 100% right, all evolutoinists have not read the bible! if they did they would realize how true it is!

I think people should have to read the bible in school so they wouldn't be brainwashed by evolution. I do, infact own 2 bibles and i read them often. I will see you in heaven brother.

Can't you see that, because they have not read the bible that they have hatred in their heart and they post so angrily?

They need jesus in their hearts! amen!

Answer 2

If a four year old asks you how a television works, how do you explain it to them? In terms that they will understand. Imagine yourself about six thousand years ago. Your conception of the universe is limited. The sun moves across the sky, so it must be moving and the earth stationary. The stars wheel through the heavens at night, so they must be pinned to something that holds them up. Try to explain to this person that everything that they see is made of tiny bits that are in constant motion. Try to make them understand atoms, and electrons. In those days dust was the smallest thing that a person could see, therefore it was the smallest thing that existed. When the bible says that god took "the dust of the earth" isn't it possible that "dust" is a metaphor for the atoms that make up the whole human body? Isn't it possible that "let there be light" refers to the event that generated... everything?
I challenge, if you really believe that the bible is "the word" not metaphorical, but literal, to follow EVERY tennet and rule written therein. So that means that you can't have contact with a woman for seven days after she has her period. Oh yeah or eat a meal she's prepaired or drink water she's handled. Hope you know the cycle of everyone who works in the bottling plant. Oh yeah, you also can't eat any pork or shellfish. There's more, you've read Leviticus. By the way, when you say the bible, you mean the King James version right? A little something that you might want to know about your "holy writ" King James commisioned a new translation of the bible in 1611 to put to rest once and for all a power struggle that had gone on between the english monarchy and the vatican for centuries. What you take to be the literal truth is nothing more than a self serving attempt to undermine the authority of the papacy. Henry VII tried to do it when he created the Anglican church. Ever read the gospel of Thomas? You may want to. James decided it undermined HIS authority and had it cut.

The fact of the matter is this. I have read the bible. I can't quote verse for verse, but I do know what it has to say. Guess what? Even knowing that I'm still a Taoist, and still an evolutionist. Evolution is a fact. You know the video where Kirk Cameron and that Aussie Bloke is claiming that a bananna is proof of gods existance? They're really proving evolution. The Chiquita bannana that they are holding is the product of eons of selective breeding by humans to be just what it is. A wild bannana doesn't look ANYTHING like what we pick up at the supermarket. If humans can do it, why isn't it possible for natural pressures to have done the same, albiet over a much longer time span. For that matter, why isn't it possible that god set evolution up as a tool, one of the means to an end? Because the bible doesn't specificaly mention it? The bible doesn't say anything about abortion either. Pro Life people *infer* that its bad. Why can't creationists *infer* that evolution and the existance of god aren't mutualy exclusive?

Answer 3

I am a biologist and I do read the bible. I do not think science and belief are mutually exclusive. Nor do I believe in a litteral interpretation of the bible or pseudoscience based upon such interpretations. The bible originally comes from latin and aremaic doccuments. Many of the terms used have no litteral equivelents in english, many more have multiple interpretations. Add to that the fact that the bible was assembled by comittee and has been edited and modified by every king and major religious sect that has ever existed to meet their own designs. My conclusion, the bible cannot be treated as a litteral history of the universe. Rather it is more of a general description of what happened for the uneducated populace of the time it was written. How would you explain the big bang to a 3 year old. Would you talk about billions of years and how all of the elemental particles interacted and formed the universe. NO, you wouldnt. You simplify it. Well son there was nothing then this big explosion happened and over time it became our universe. Kinda sounds like genesis doesnt it? I dont belive 7 days was based on a 24 hour day. Who was holding the stopwatch? What is time to an immortal being? The problem is that people try to change belief into science and science into belief. The fact is they are two mutually exclusive realms. Science deals with the empirical, that which can be demonstrated and experienced. Faith is based on personal belief, the intangible. There is room for both in the world, we just need to quit trying to unify them. It cant happen.

Answer 4

I have read the Bible, there are many inconsistancies I dont know if I have spelt that right early morning here. I think the person who wrote it was high on drugs and drink. I do not beleave in religion at all any religion. I think people who beleave in god are like people who beleave in an invisable friend and yet one is classed as sane the other insane, interesting but if it helps people cope through the day it is fine with me. Personally I beleave it is about getting up of your bum and making things happen. Those people who sit and wait should expect nothing,but of course ones born with silver spoon they get things through different channels. I have had some bad things in my life but I have also had alot of good I have learnt through this nothing else' Life is about learning from mistakes and if I make any I am the first to own up. I do know right from wrong. But if anyone blames me for doing something I didn't they had better watch out? If the courts and the Police do not deal with men women should there are ways of doing it within the law?

Answer 5

I have but then again I am born again.I was an atheist until I was 17 and old enough to realize that atheism is a dead end street(except when the street evolves from a culdesac to a 4 lane highway).I used to ridicule the bible because I was ignorant of what it said and I was "brainwashed" into believing in the different sciences that are "preached" in junior/high school.
Now I still logically adhere to common sense and the science that we have that is proven,But to me it takes more faith to believe in the non existance of God than to believe that He is.
I sympathize for those people who are so closed minded on both sides that they don't question everything and find out for themselves and not follow anything like sheep.I have questioned and for me,as it says in the bible "as for me and my house I will serve the Lord".

Answer 6

We do not have a problem that you believe in the Bible, but stop trying to convert people. Have you ever heard of free will. People believe what they want to believe in.

Yes I do have a bible, 2 in fact, but as I'm now an evolutionist, I believe in facts not fiction.

I've been reading the bible since I was a child to find truth in it, but still I'm not convinced. I have studied anthropology about evolution and it seems to give me answers than the Bible has.

So sorry to disappoint you if I say I will stick with the theory that is valid and has evidence not fiction.

Answer 7

No I don't go much for bad fairy tales!

No I do not own a copy. It is a waste of paper. I would rather it was recycled and used for much more suitable work, like toilet paper.

You will never learn anything from the bible, apart from how not to write a book; how to be an evil person; how to judge others; how to be a bigot, etc.

I will stick to my science books written by educated, logical, knowledgable, sane individuals who test theories, produce physical evidence through experiments.

Answer 8

I was sent to Sunday school as a kid and read it there. I also had to read it at senior school and do you know what? It makes no sense to the intelligent person. Throughout the bible there are so many contradictions. As I grew up I gave myself a thing called CHOICE. I either believed it and worried that I would burn in hell for not following the faith or I threw it all away and lived a happy life. I opted for the second one. I work, I pay my taxes & bills. I don't steal or live a life that involves the police. I do enjoy a drink, a smoke and having a laugh and any God that feels that I don't fit in with his plans for not following his faith is not worth praying to anyway.

Us evolutionists as you call us know where man came from and we don't all make up stories about the human race evolving from one man & woman. We're not the stupid ones as we don't follow a stupid book that has been re-written so many times to suit the faith at the time.

Answer 9

I am not an evolutionist in the real sense of the word. I don't say 'uncle' to a chimp. But creation and evolution are not mutually exclusive. And I have Ocean Bible installed on my PC. If you have any questions your pastor is too scared or dumb to answer, click on my profile and you can email me.
The meaning of the word Redeemer is 'to set a slave free'. So now you should go and study what Paul did to a slave who escaped.

Answer 10

to be honest the anger in your question shows me u have no real belief in what u say r read your belief stems from the fact that your afraid to die but u cove this truth with a false belief that u wont die but go to paradise I've read the bible I've also read book on alot of the worlds religion and one thing that always got me was only ever in one country has your god or any other of the worlds gods appeared i mean did gold appear on mount blanc in france to help the french r wasn't jesus born in china to help the suffering don't worry am not taking the piss its the same with all outside the country of origin these gods or sons of god never appear so that alone what does it tell u

Answer 11

I did read it, and all I found was cruelty, contradictions on every page, and a bunch of good bedtime stories.

There is no proof of anything you say-- so I remain Agnostic. And saying that I don't have to do everything on my own is like giving the human race an excuse to be lazy and hope for miracles that may or may not happen. If I want a life change I'm not going to wait for it and hope it happens, I'm going to help myself.

I have my beliefs for a reason, not because I was told to have them. What about you?
