I didn't ask you if it was scriptural. I'm looking for clarity on something very specific. Is this important to you. Do you need this to be true for your religion to be true?
You know, this would make for an important separate topic: why can't Christians embrace the evidence of their senses and science without losing their faith? The speculation I thought was most on point is that what really matters is not losing their community standing. A shared understanding of the scripture is felt to be essential for a continued sense of belonging to that community. Since you can't get the whole community to take the step to incorporate evolution together, no one must change a thing. It is too bad and is a real hinderance for them all. Soon they'll have little communes like the quakers where everyone seals themselves off from the modern world.

Right? It's only Some Christians™ though.......many are perfectly capable of compartmentalizing their beliefs about divinity and the status of some matter of natural fact. For those that aren't so capable...you have to wonder what life is like.
Is god turning some gargantuan spigot in the sky every time it rains?

The conservative appeal of a stolid monolithic orthodoxy. In effect, those incapable of the above already have cloistered themselves into little huts. Other christians know what kind of christians live in those huts.

Hello CDF47.
So, if your diety works I such mysterious way that you cannot truly understand it or its motivations in regards to certain aspects of reality.......
Why does it deserve anything?
Cheers!
I do understand it. Some of it has to do with sins of their fathers. I provided another example as well in the post above.
Cheers to you as well sir!

Your bible god has no problem with incest.
Incest is a forbidden act. It had to be performed by early humans to populate the Earth. Other cases of it were sinful.

It suggest a being/god over a work bench with soldering iron and a welders mask until something works. You would think if a god existed and spoke "Let there be life" and man appeared, we'd be incredibly simple creatures, as no thought or actually physical "making" has been done.
The theory of evolution is scientifically sound, and directly does explain why things in life forms are so complex, because they have been slowly changing over billions of years.
Again, the information is not just Extremely complex, it is also functional as it encodes for proteins. See the short video in my signature for further explanation.
Lot impregnated both of his daughters with your gods blessing and he wasn't repopulating anything.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
