Motivation of Atheists and Christ Deniers?

Yes they do I do!

Give me a provable example.

While you are at it give me an expalnation of how we got 18 ft Giants with 6 fingers and toes (last one seen by US patrol in Afghanistan 2006), how does that fit into evolution?

I don’t believe the theory of evolution

What motivates Christians to misinterpret every attempt to rationally analyze their religion as a personal affront against themselves? It's not like when someone tries to rationally analyze the policies of the Republican or Democratic Party, that each Republican or Democrat feels personally attacked. But Christians do.


What motivates Christians to misinterpret every atte ...[text shortened]... lyze their religion as a personal affront against GOD HIMSELF? The God isn't the religion, you know.

I concur.

When I first started contributing to this forum, I did this too. Not anymore.

Someone not choosing God isn't an attack on me any more than someone not watching the same TV shows I watch.

Believing in science isn't like believing in God.

The theory of evolution isn’t science.

Its central claim was neither observed nor demonstrated by an experiment. It doesn’t adhere to the Scientific Method and is not science.

<<Atheism does not include any specific theory or explanation about the origin of life.>>

Neither does the theory of evolution but it’s still a gaping hole in the theory - just like it’s a gaping hole in the belief system of an atheist

I remember arguing with you before about this.

How do you reconcile your belief in the theory of evolution with the concept of original sin, how sin entered the world, man’s broken relationship with God, why Jesus Christ had to die on the cross, etc.

Believing the theory of evolution does more than contradict the creation account in Genesis.

I’m flattered

You've never read The Origin of Species, have you?

The Theory of Evolution has nothing to do with Jesus the Christ.

The creation account in Genesis is ancient man of 3500 years ago trying to explain God's engineering of a world, using stories and terms and concepts familiar to man of 3500 years ago. When God explained it to Moses, he understood he wasn't talking to a rocket scientist, but a simple sheepherder.

I've explained this all to you before. You didn't buy it then, either.

Brilliant, a fundamental truth summed up in eight words. Thank you, Suzianne!
