Christians, are you embarrassed to admit you believe in Genesis verson of creation?

Question

Christians that believe in evolution need only look around. All the other animals are naked. They have no knowledge of good and evil.

Just look at us. We rule over the entire earth. That didn't happen through some evolution process.

The Scriptures say, In nothing is Gods wrath kindles then in those who deny his hand in every thing.

By embracing a pagan belief like Darwinism you not only admit to denying your creators hand in his work but you also show your self as a bad example to other Christians and become a stumbling block to them.

Did you know that Evolution is starting to lean on the idea that there may have been an Eve that started man kind?

They are starting to see the truth.

I like this verse:

As for the world all things will pass away, but my word will not pass away. -GODS WORD

Answer 1

I am not ashamed to say that I do believe in the accounts of creation as written in the book of Genesis. I believe that with God's might we came into existence. Some may consider that as lack of knowledge about science but having faith in God and disregarding one theory out of many laws and theories of science doesnt mean i dont believe in science at all. At the moment, science still has limitations if we are to explore the truth about man's origin. There are still many things yet to be explored, discovered and invented. For a time, people who believed in evolution believed that neanderthals are one of man's ancestor, but now by studying the DNA, neanderthals and man are just 'cousins'.

For me, believing in evolution takes for faith than believing in God.

Answer 2

Humans rule over the entire Earth? That's a pretty arrogant statement.

I think there's a few million species of beetles that would disagree with you there.

And how does human clothing, food chain superiority, or knowledge of good and evil necessarily make the Genesis stories in any way plausible?

And Darwinism is a pagan belief?? I don't think you have a very good handle on the definition of either paganism or the theory of evolution.

Yes, there is evidence that there may well have been a mitochondrial "Eve" - a single female from whom all human mitochondrial DNA can be traced. To me that sounds like a pretty strong indication that evolution and Christianity can be easily reconsiled, if you give up an irrational need to take the contradictory words of Genesis as literal truth, and instead read them as allegory.

Answer 3

(a) "Good" and "evil" are man-made constructs. They don't actually exist.

(b) Actually, I think many scientists would agree that insects, not humans, rule over the entire earth. And they've been in power for millions of more years than we've even been around. Your statement that this "didn't happen through some evolution process" is random, stupid and ungrounded.

(c) People who (logically) don't believe in the inerrancy of the bible don't care what it says.

(d) Pagan ≠ "Darwinism" (as if that's a real word). Anyone who thinks so is ignorant and foolish.

(e) Just because there's a "scientific Adam" (or Eve) doesn't even BEGIN to imply that the bible is in any way scientifically correct. Just because there is one person to whom everyone can trace their ultimate ancestry doesn't confirm your Christian god, moron.

I like this verse:

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Psalms 93:1.

Are scientists really "starting to see the truth" of the bible's geocentric universe too?

Answer 4

I am a Christian and a mathematician/scientist.

I view the creation/evolution argument as more of a distractor than anything else. Neither side is EVER going to prevail...and the topic really ISN'T that important (when compared with the important things like forgiveness of sin and salvation of the eternal soul).

But, that being said, I don't believe that Genesis is a LITERAL and FACTUAL statement on origin. I *DO* believe that God created the earth, but it was up to HIM how He chose to do so.

I also believe that blindly stating something as FACT without examination and consideration is the "bad example" and "strumbling block".

Just my thoughts.

Answer 5

*sigh* So...people in the Amazon or th African jungles who are mostly or entirely naked don't have knowledge of good and evil either? Little more than animals? How very...Imperial 18th century.

I have the terrible feeling Counting Crow 's getting his "Eve" quip from an earlier answer of mine...which he has of course completely taken out of context: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am.SWI8eLKxJOYok661fc.rty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071119204517AACHXb9&show=7#profile-info-K7jjZIZsaa

Get a clue: evolution has ALWAYS said that we all have a common ancestor. It's a common part of the theory. I had to explain it to ou because you were so badly misinformed on the very theory you're trying to debunk.

Answer 6

Brave post.

I believe in the literal account of Creation as found in Genesis.

Either there is a God or there is not. If He is, then what can be impossible for Him?

Answer 7

are you kidding. we are evolving as we speak. human being are slowly evolving, being born without unnecessary organs like the appendix, tonsils, toes, etc. it's happening at too high of a rate to be mutations; it's just nature helping us out. the world around us is evolving before our very eyes every day plants develop new pesticides to protect themselves, and bugs develop ways to protect themselves form the pesticides. some animals actually change gender to compensate for sexual disparity. God created a wonderful world and give it the gift of evolution so it could continuously be making better.

Answer 8

No I am not ashamed at all. Why would I put the limited knowledge of man above God's inspired word? I would rather believe God than man.

Answer 9

Either the Bible (AV1611) is 100% truth or it's 100% lie. There is no "gray" area.

Answer 10

I am never embarrased on Gods account of His creation.
