If an "evolutionist" is a person who believes evolution to be scientific theory, then I guess I am one. If an evolutionist is a person that believes the universe to be trillions of years old while simultaneously being 6,000 years old, that the universe was created, and that Adam and Eve existed, then I am surely not one and I might be so bold as to say that nobody is one. Seriously? Is this the extent of your knowledge on biological and cosmic evolution? Normally I would think you were a troll or a Poe, but seeing your other posts you are indeed legitimate.
Poor human race.

For example, we know the universe to be 14.6 billion years old and not trillions.

His best plan was to force continual suffering on the descendents of the first man and woman?
This also rules out free will. If he planned them to do these things and made them knowing they would act in that way, then he "programmed" them. That's all there is to it.
(August 6, 2012 at 4:08 pm)Drich Wrote: Genesis 3:2 seem to disagree with your account of things. Satan asks what did god tell her and She repeats the warning. Eve knew what she was doing. again which was apart of the plan.Genesis 3:2 doesn't indicate that Eve heard God directly, just that she understood god to have said not to eat of the tree. I feel silly arguing about fairy tales, so I'll just stop.

That is a consenquence as the direct result of an specific action.The AIDs didn't threaten the guy's dick with HIV before he stuck it in.
The 'punishment' was to be found in the hard labor Men were to do and the pains of labor women experienced in child birth. The handing the world over and making man responsiable for everything was a consenquence.
Even if you insist that it was still a punishment, Punishments are always a consenquence of undesired action. Still makes it a consenquence.

God warned them they would die if they ate of that fruit.. what else is their to say? they wanted to eat of that fruit probably because they did everything else 1000 times over and want to see what elses there was to experience. Even in the face of the warning God gave them.It was "God's plan" though. The prick set it up for their failure by your own admission, so it is no fault of theirs.

Do i have to seriously explain this "moving the goal post" fallacy to each and every one of you?
If you are speaking about God and the bible is the only book that defines God or if you ask a question that is based on what the bible tells you, then the bible (like it or not) becomes a legitmate source. or "real evidence."
You can not base a question from the bible and then refuse the bible as a legitmate source to answer a question derived from with in it's pages.
Lets take Spiderman for example. I hate Spiderman and think it is a crap comic, so it is a good target for an analogy.
The question derived from a Spiderman comic? How about, "Did Spiderman swing from webs?"
The answer is no, he didn't. There is no evidence to support this. But according to you, we should believe that he did in fact swing from webs because the comic says so.

Quote:Either take back the part about God being blameless, or take back the part about prayer being futile.Why?
[/quote]
Logic dictates you to do so?
If God has a part in the world through prayer or anything, then he isn't blameless. Hell, he planned it this way. He created this world knowing full well of disease and cancer and war, so he isn't blameless either way.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
