Zone1 do you believe in evolution or in creation?

[Moonglow]

this topic is often talked about here.
but there is no poll about it as far as i can see.

btw .... one can believe in evolution and still be a Christian believer, there is no contradiction

Both.

Both.

I agree but there's no option to select that answer.

It's important to note that hell did not freeze over when I agreed with you.

There simply is no physical Hell to freeze over.

I trust science. Not made lies in Holy Myth Book full of lies and distortions

The two are not mutually exclusive.

It's a fact that life forms of every type evolve and organic chemistry in the form of DNA is the driver of that evolution.

But, we also know that the molecular building blocks of that chemistry come from stars which came into being in a sudden explosion of creation from nothing to The Universe.

Something from nothing, nothing ever could. Makes no sense. There are three questions people often ask, Why am I here, Where did I come from and Where am I going after this life? If you know nothing about where you came from, you have no clue of why you are here. God has a plan for everyone. It began long before the foundations of the earth were laid. But, the foundation of the earth was laid by God. Not some random event that makes no sense if you believe in the big bang. Since there's no friction in space, the particles formed by your big bang would not slow down. There would be no gravity to slow them down. Instead, the universe always existed and the matter is mostly unorganized. God came down and organized with the help of other energy or intelligences. They were put into spirit bodies to do this work. We were one of them. We don't remember because the plan is to come to the earth and by faith, with faith and real intent, develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We came down to see if we would be able to accept Jesus Christ if presented him to us by faith. DNA cannot happen in 13.8 billion years. Impossible odds.

God is no thing. Something came from no thing.

You haven’t really impressed me with your scientific prowess.

Should be other choices.....

Such as.....both......

Neither........

lol. I don't BELIEVE IN Evolution. Evolution is NOT a religion.

Evolution is a scientifically established fact.

We can tell that things have evolved as they morph and adapt.

The real question is...is man a product of evolution or creation (as described in the book of Genesis).

So does religion.

Just not as peacefully.

God doesn’t change. Humans do.

 

[fncceo]

God doesn’t change. Humans do.

And religion is human’s representation of G-d’s plan.

It evolves as civilization and our understanding of The Universe evolves.

 

[Cougarbear]

God is no thing. Something came from no thing.

God doesn’t exist? I thought you believed in God? Strange thinking. God is a glorified resurrected personage.

As a Christian I believe in both.

No. I don’t believe it is. That would be quite presumptive of us. Now that I think about it, why does there need to be a plan? Isn’t it already magnificent and impressive enough? What’s wrong with just living in the present?

 

[ding]

It evolves as civilization and our understanding of The Universe evolves.

If you are saying truth is discovered, I agree. Not sure that extends to us knowing God’s plan. I think it’s pretty easy to glean the right way to be and exist. Not sure we should take it any farther than that. Doing good is its own reward. I doubt God wants us to love him because of what he can do for us.

 

[BackAgain]

Both.

Damn. I hate it when I find that I am ever in agreement with Goonblow in anything.

But, here, I have to ask why the Creator could not have simply made use of evolution once He got the whole “ball” rolling?
