Like I said, if I didn't believe in my religion then there's no question I would accept the theory of evolution, it has an astronomical amount of evidence. Nonetheless, for me, I am more convinced that my religion is true than the evidences that back up evolution ergo I'm a Creationist(May 22, 2013 at 10:07 am)ideologue08 Wrote: Well, the theory of evolution is scientifically valid, there's no question about that, it does make sense. But for Creationists such myself, that is of no concern to me because I believe in the concept of miracles, it is not inconsistent for a person who believes that Moses parted the red sea, or the burning bush or the Christ cures the leper, raises the dead etc. etc. to believe that God created humans directly. So the theory of evolution is the only valid conclusion provided that you reject all scriptural evidences and beliefs. So in the end, it all goes back to religious/non-religious beliefs, it's a theological issue for me first and foremost.
So, to put it a much simpler way: the facts don't matter to you, because magic!
Well, that's tantamount to throwing in the towel. That's admitting defeat: you don't have actual evidence, so you're resorting to unverified claims of fairy dust that you could never possibly hope to demonstrate. You're the equivalent of the kid playing imaginary games on the playground shouting that he has an "everything-proof shield" in whatever battle his friends are imagining.
To be honest, you're starting to sound like a parody of a theist.
I know I might sound strange, but that's because I'm a stranger (at least on this forum) and I believe in a strange religion...so glad tidings to the strangers!(May 22, 2013 at 8:54 pm)little_monkey Wrote: Then how do you explain so much resistance especially by Christians to Evolution? Is it a question of lack of education ( ignorance)?I'm not Christian so I don't know, I'm guessing evolution isn't compatible with the Bible? I don't know what you mean resistance, you can't really resist a particular teaching, Evolution is taught pretty much everywhere. And even if it wasn't, there are an awful lot of websites that discuss it.
