Wow, Forgiven, there are people who have stated over and over again what evolution is. And then you give that post. Please, please look up what evolution actually is. Look up wikipedia for five minutes. Look up talkorigins.org for an alternate perspective (I look up creationist websites to see their side of the story). Evolution is definitely not what you think it is. You believe in some strange, ridiculous evolution where things suddenly appear and change out of nowhere because some entity wills it.

hey forgiven, i respect ur belief, cuz if there is one of thing that "god" done right is that he or she give us freewill,(well depends on if u believe in multiverse, which i am not going to get in to that.) but i got to say this, is it being human that we should accept more than one ideas?

Forgiven, I have a question about seeing design in nature.

One of the arguments you've used is that living things must have been designed because they are more complex than any of the machines we as humans have built, and all those machines were designed.

However, hundreds of engineers have worked on our most complex machines (cars, airplanes, computers, etc). So, shouldn't living things, which by your own argument are even more complex, have to have been designed by many gods? Maybe thousands, or millions. Isn't Intelligent Design then an argument for a polytheistic religion like Hinduism?

There IS no bridge.

Thanks for asking, and especially being civil about it!
I believe every single word in the Bible. I might not understand all of it, but I get something new each and everytime I read from it.
I do believe that the earth was formed in 6 literal, 24 hr days. Why would God need a million years? I guess He could have created it all in the blink of an eye, but He chose to do it in 6 days. You need to understand that the Bible is not a science book. It is a book to introduce us to God. It isn't a minute to minute account of each and every step of the process. It is meant to help us understand God. Not everything God did was written down. God chose what He wanted recorded for history sake. The entire life of Adam and Eve, and their children are not known. We know what God wanted us to know from Genesis to Revelation.
As far as the age of the earth. I personally think it is only about 10,000 years old or so. But does it really matter? Either way, God created it. If He took millions of years to do it, so what. He still created it. To me, those things are not the issue. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other if earth is 10,000 years old or 10 million. Six days to make or millions of years. My belief is not tied to knowing the answers to those questions. I believe that Jonah was really shallowed by a large fish. What is so hard to believe about that? It is totally feasable. I believe that Noah built a boat on dry land, and that the earth was flooded, and he and his family (and the animals) survived. There is evidence to support a flood approximatley 10,000 years ago. And I certainly believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. And His Literal death and resurrection 3 days later. No, I can't prove it, nor can the skeptics disprove it. I believe it by faith.

I have not meant to sound hostile. I am just very passionate in what I believe in. I guess sometimes it comes out as sounding hostile. That is human side of me showing. I am not perfect, nor claim to be. I am not all knowing, nor claim to be. I don't understand everything about God, but I still believe in Him.

Some post earlier talked about going door to door talking to people about God. That does give some people a bad taste for Christianity... I understand that. I had a guy bug me everyday about it when I was young, and was an unbeliever. So I know how that feels. But I am thankful to that person now, for planting a seed.
When you believe in something, and think it is the best thing that has happened in your life, you want to share it with everyone. Some folks doing this do come on a bit strong, I agree. It may even turn people away. If you had something that could change your life in a positive way, you want all your friends to have it also. So don't blame those that try to share what they have found.

Good night. Its bed time.

which version of the bible do u believe? cuz i read the st james bible, if i remember right, it said if i work on sunday, i have to be kill. so does that goes for everyone who worked on sins.(i can bet with all the money i have, sometime they worked on sundays).

Macro-evolution is just micro-evolution plus time.

The theory of evolution is just the most logical conclusion available based observation and evaluation of the existing evidence that is available. There is a wealth of evidence to support it as the most logical and most plausible explanation for how things came to be.

The only "evidence" that supports any sort of "intelligent design" or creationist theory is people's illogical belief in an imaginary, supposedly omniscient and omnipotent entity, as well as texts written thousands of years ago that have been repeatedly translated, retranslated, and mis-translated for centuries.

That shows ignorance of the history of evolutionary science. Plenty of scientists disagree about key tenets of evolutionary lineage, and the "theory" itself has been constantly revised. "Neo-Darwinism" was coined for a reason.

Hey, evolution is a much more logical theory, with more empirical evidence supporting it, than the theory that someone's imaginary friend snapped their fingers one day (or once every day for six days) and everything just magically appeared.

Oh, and the whole point behind science and the results of scientific research, is that it provides empirical evidence generated by repeatable observation and/or experimentation. Anything that does not hold up to serious scrutiny -- especially something as (ridiculously) controvertial as the theory of evolution -- gets debunked pretty quickly.

If you believe else.... play Spore, be a heretic and create you own life

That's a fairly definitive statement. It concerns verifiable evidence. ID does not.
For those ID enthusiasts, note that: God could have planned all this from the beginning. Is that hard to accept? Why would God create a universe where he'd have to intervene constantly to get anything done, while he could just create a set of physical laws to do it all for him? There is no contradiction, not even with Genesis 1. There is no true religious motivation to think that evolution is heresy, because that is remarkably primitive thinking.

For the guys out there who think that believing in the God of the Bible means believing in Creationism (6-day Creation), you should realise that it doesn't. I can tell you this pretty definitively, and I think a few others on here could as well.

I agree with you, sort of I'm not saying that you think this, because you evidently don't, but the faults with evolution shouldn't be covered up with ID. It's like trying to cover up, say, a gap in history with philosophy. It just doesn't work - it misses the point of either topic.
