Andrevan,
Yep you are right. And it is a good thing that he did not need a million years to do so, or else the multitudes would have died. I got a sick sense of humor.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire

It is quite interesting what falls under behavior condoned on this board and what is condemned as outside the bounds of the allowable discussion, but I digress....
I believe that belief in God and acknowledgement of science is not only possible, but a requirement for the modern believer.
Peace

I tend to agree with your statement in a way. We live by faith not by sight, we don't necessarily require physical evidence for everything. "Now faith is an assumption of what is being expected, a conviction concerning matters which are not being observed;" Hebrews 11:1[clv].
For a Christian to believe in evolution would require them to accept philosophical and mythological ideas that contradict what real world experimental science shows. Christianity is rational and grounded in history, evolution is grounded in philosophy and pseudoscience. Experimental science is on the side of Christians, however, they've been falsely lead to believe otherwise. Just some of my observations from the real world.
God bless.
Andrevan.

Here is the larger problem with that and Michael Behe sums it up better that I can in this article.

I have seen web pages and alternate teachings get posed on the Forum with dire consequences. For me our like-mindedness is found in the fact that we agree with the teachings as presented through Ray Smith. Those who are not able to understand, find in the Forum a place where they can be encouraged and counselled and edified to assist them find meaning and understanding in the Ray Smith teachings. This opens up the opportunity for us all to encourage and fellowship and share what we have been taught. With Modification, we are then able to walk peacefully together in companionship with the truth.
Also, the report to Moderator item in each post section, allows us to assist the Mods where we may see interference or off sided approaches which the Mods then can umpire. This way we can alert the Mods who may not have caught up yet to the fact that a thread is going sour or is in need of some supportive authority to keep things on the up and up.
Also, I have found that these interferences are also opportunities to exercise our discernment. Is the error in innocence, from a teachable spirit or is it in deliberation to cause strife and division? It is an interesting learning curve to see how the Mods respond to having to deliver an error correction or simple reminder of Forum rules of participation and how it is received, rejected or contested sometimes vigorously right into the PM section!... Which ever way….
"God works all things together for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose." Rom 8 : 28 :)
I find Rays response to this subject helpful in demystifying the deviancy and myth as Andrevan also notes.
Here is how Ray responds to an e-mail. Quote…

Hi Ray
What do you think of Darwinism and how do you refute it, in a few words? Thanks.
Tom from CT
Dear Tom:
Charles Darwin did not himself believe in Darwinism Evolution. He admitted that his theories were not plausible.
How is that for a few words?
God be with you,
Ray.
Peace be with you
Arcturus :)
