So christian's beleive in evolution. Apparently.

[JohnDG]

The other day I was having a chat with my aunt about the bible (she brought it up). Somewhere in this arguement I said if your religion has changed overtime doesn't that mean your not worshipping the true word of god? She then proceeded to tell me that people have changed and aren't as primitave as they use to be (Old testament). I said so your religion evolved? Then she says our religion hasn't evolved just the bible and that it's explained by jesus how we don't have to follow the old testament. Mighty convenient, But I ask how can you not beleive in evolution if your bible has evolved? She then told me something about faith but I ignored it and said isn't the devil the most devious being to ever exist? She says yes and I ask her well wouldn't the devil do something like make a new bible, change a few words and trick everyone into beleiving his religion? What if your supposed to be sacrificing animals and locking women in cave's?

Sorry for the extra questions at the end but yeah how can the bible evolve when it's followers don't beleive in evolution? It can't, therefore christians beleive in evolution(practically worship). It's a faith thing...

Because evolving human understanding and scientific evolution aren't the same thing.

[JohnDG]

Tehcnically they are, since suman understanding evolves with our bodies.
If you have to say evolves or changes over time it's simply evolution just in a different form no matter it be physical, mental or technological.

Believe she's trying to express the differences between biological evolution and changes in culture or perception (that may themselves be related to biological evolution...granted)

[thesummerqueen]

Evolution (term)

Evolution (biological)

The term evolution (from its literal meaning of "unfolding" of something into its true or explicit form) carries a connotation of gradual improvement or directionality from a beginning to an end point. This contrasts with the more general development, which can indicate change in any direction, or revolution, which implies recurring, periodic change.

We use the term now to mostly discuss biological evolution. The difference lies in the fact that Christians do NOT see the gradual changes in biology, even if they do recognize it in culture. "Evolution" does not mean only biological change, and thus they ignore what they don't like.

I disagree. Your aunt is as primitive as any goat herder listening to that shit.

Thats just it. the most famous Christian saying about the devil is "The devil is so devious, he has managed to convince the world he doesnt exist"



And they think I am supposed to get chill bumps over this?

No. If the devil TRULY is devious, then how about him being the inspiration of the new testament and the 4 gospels?

Flat out the Christians will say "No, the devil cant do that".

So let me get this straight. the devil can fool people into thinking he doesnt exist. He can fool people into making up religions (such as hinduism, Islam). He can fool people into wicca/witchcraft/druidism/nature worship. He can fool people into becoming agnostic and atheists. He can fool people into believing evolution. He can fool people into believing dinosaur bones are older than 6000 years. He can fool people into believing the big bang. In other words, he has fooled the great vast majority of humanity with the exception of a small handful of "saved" eveangelical "bapticostals"...well, that is the stupidest shit I have ever heard.

If satan can fool people into thinking he doesnt exist, and that LONG list of other things, then surely he can fool christians into thinking that Christ defeated satan.

The funny thing is, if you look at the list again, and assume satan and god are make believe, the list makes MUCH MORE sense.

Why do atheists exist? "because there is no god"

Why do conflicting religions exist? "because there is no god"

etc...etc...
