Help Me Understand

Can all christians that don't believe in evolution explain to me your problems with it. It is just really hard for me to rap my head around someone not believeing in evolution in the 21st century, so it would make it easier if I understood exactly why you don't. And maybe I can help you through your confusions, maybe not.

Thanks!

I think I may be the only one that falls in to this category and while my objections to evolution are many and deep, I don't think we can cover all of it, I'm also curious why you care?  You state you want to help through my confusions, but confusion is far from my objections.  Does it matter to you that I accept evolution?  I see some have stated that Christians deny evolution because it goes against Creationism.  I have logical issues with the theory of evolution, irregardless of Creationism.  

I will get in to these objections when I have a few, though I know I did this fairly recently.

I care because I don't like being confused. And, also, every argument against evolution I have ever heard can be destroyed by one googe search.

Kingpin, what mechanism do you think there is which prevents small mutations from adding up to species changes?

Inference is part of the process of scientific understanding.

In the case of the Eucharist ceremony, it is the Catholics who have the magic beliefs, not most protestants.  And in that instance, it is far more insane than the idea of a being who can create the universe out of nothing decided to create animals fully formed.

Lutherans, some Anglicans, some Episcopalians and some Methodists are examples of Protestants who believe that Jesus is present in the sacrament in a real way.

And the Orthodox, of course.

God established an infallible Church

This is an empirically false statement.

Care to expand on that?

What would of stopped him from not using evolution? Maybe not wasting billions of years for a product he could have made in a split second.

Nothing. He could have done it either way...even to the point of putting dinosaur bones in the ground for us to find. If He really wanted to.

I just think the evidence suggests that He chose to use evolution.

There is no God creature in this solar system.

Finally. Progress.
