If a universal truth is that ALL things change, why do Christian's refuse to believe in evolution? Are Christian's that 'ignorant' to suggest everything changes except animals and people, therefore, not everything really changes?
What else, for a Christian and their "wacky" logic, doesn't change? Keep in mind that your state of mind may have changed several times just reading this question. You may have started thinking, you may have changed moods, you may have noticed you are bored with this. You weren't any of those before reading this question.
So, tell me, why is change only happening to what YOU want it to. I look forward to 'lack of logic' to support your answers and a lot of 'assumptions/made up answers' that will most likely contradict/lead to more questions

I will scoff because any one who would reject it would do so stating, blindly, God did it. all of you who suggest Evolution DOES exist but wouldn't question God proved that point.
God only exists to you. You will state, as I've been accused, that anyone who doesn't would be wrong. The only difference is, I can admit it, you won't be able to.

I think these Christians who believe in evolution are confusing evolution with adaptation.
Lets see - GOD created man in his perfect image and then man evolved? I don't think so. Anyone who believes that is what I call a politically correct christian and really doesn't believe the WORD of GOD.

I don't discount evolution, knowledge is power, I gain nothing from remaining ignorant about creation. The way I see it is the universe is a natural phenomena. Any intelligence that aided it's formation is natural also. I call it God. The more we learn about the earth and cosmos, the closer we become to that God.
I don't try to convince anyone of God existence, it's deeply personal and has no basis in logic. Spirtuality is not about logic.
I do encourage my Christian brethren to not let dogma keep us down. We have to be willing to grow in knowledge of God's creation or we'll create a new dark age.
Remember it was once heresy to say that the earth revolves around the sun.

Actually, Bible-believing Christians require evolution to proceed at a much higher rate than is observed in order to explain how all the biodiversity on Earth emerged from a small box. They just ignore the contradiction that their beliefs require it can't happen initially, then has to go gangbusters later.

You asked this question two weeks ago........ are you trying to beet a dead horse? I am a christian who beleives in micro-evolution (variation) because its obvious and proven. However I do not beleive in macro-evolution (change from one species to another, i.e fish to bird). Why argue over a THEORY when its not fact!! I do keep an open mind however and am always searching for the facts. If the theory of macro-evolution is one day proven fact then I will beleive it.

First not all Christians reject evolution. I recognize that evolution does in fact happen. The question is to what extent has evolution developed the plethora of species we have in our world today.
Second, it is not a universal truth that ALL things change. There are some things that remain consistent throughout time.

I believe in certain aspects of evolution- so does Pope Benedict XVI . But, "Evolution Out Of Nothing" is what Christians reject. God created all things: As St Thomas Aquinas said, God is the first cause that had no cause.
Your argument is with the Fundies and their Young-Earth crapola.

Most Christians have no problem with science, including evolution.
Here's a list of over ten thousand US Christian clergy who are so concerned about the ranting of a noisy anti-science minority that they signed a petition.

They assert that "the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests".

Change happens to everything but that isn't evolution. I reject evolution because it calls God a liar. In His Word He tells us He is the Creator of the universe. I would believe Him over any scientist.
