Okay, now you're just making me sad, because it's clear that you didn't bother with my request before you posted again. So let me be clearer: evolution has never stated that inanimate objects will turn into living ones over time, either. That's literally, from the very moment the theory was proposed, never been a part of it. Evolution is a process that happens exclusively within groups of living organisms.
The term you're thinking of is abiogenesis, not evolution. They aren't connected; evolution happens to things that are alive, abiogenesis describes life forming from non life. Now, it doesn't have as strong a body of evidence supporting it as evolution does, but we know through experiments that abiogenesis is at least possible; we just don't know how- or if- it happened here on earth.
Like I said, please go and actually learn what you're talking about before you decide it's wrong.
Quote:I don't need to justify any of my claims that are biblically true. The Bible is God's word sent for man to obey. No amount of saying "prove it" is going to change that fact. You do not know that the Bible is not God's word. I know that it is His word.
If you're going to have a productive discussion with people who don't believe the bible is god's anything, then you're going to need to start justifying your statements. You say you're here to preach the gospel: do you want to be convincing while you do that, or do you want to be ignored and then eventually banned for disobeying rule one?
You'll find most of us here will be happy to take your points seriously and discuss them with you; what will turn us off real quick is being talked past and berated by someone who's uninterested in understanding why we might not find the bible convincing.
Nothing is going to sink your ship faster than not listening and adapting; we aren't a captive audience here, you know.
Thank you for the correction. Though it could have been avoided if you had simply pointed it out in the last post as I requested. I have to say I do believe in abiogenesis. I believe God literally made man out of the dust of the ground. I also believe the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead, giving life to His dead body.
Also I'd like to ask, at what point have I berated anyone? To be honest it seems it has been others who have been berating me. Though if you show where it is you feel I have berated anyone I will apologise to that person.
