Creationists accept Evolution

EVERYONE accepts evolution...to some extent. You can say things like "kinds" or "micro vs macro" or whatever you want, but you understand that evolution DOES IN FACT happen.

Kingheathen, what can you say to someone that thinks that there is a conspiracy by scientists about subjects such as Evolution, the Big Bang, and even the age of the earth?

[KingHeathen]

@MingBaiLiaoJie Well, let's just start with the obvious...Which is more likely: Atheists, who make up a tiny minority of our population, have somehow infiltrated and managed to convince 99% of all other scientists in biology, geology, cosmology, anthropology, etc. of a theory and convinced all of them to believe in "evidence" which isn't real to accept the theory as true as part of a conspiracy to turn people against god...OR...a 2000 year old book didn't know as much as we do now?

[MingBaiLiaoJie]

@KingHeathen

I think you're underestimating atheists KingHeathen, don't they make a higher percentage of scientists?. But yes, I get your point, how could they do this indeed, but they would still consider this 2000 year old book as their holy book and would stick with it, so what else can I tell them? Is there some book or website you recommend me to look at for people who don't know much about evolution(Big Bang and the age f the earth would also be good)

[KingHeathen]

@MingBaiLiaoJie try talkorigins()org

Yes, we make up a larger percentage of scientists, but it doesn't change the issue and when evolution became the accepted origin of species theory, it wasn't nearly as high as it is today. Another thing to point out to them is that the Big Bang was first proposed by a CATHOLIC PRIEST! It's quite ironic that the Big Bang was originally seen as proof of Biblical creation when most atheists accepted Steady State. Atheists accept BB and suddenly it's wrong.

@KingHeathen

Really? Just because atheists accepted Big Bang it became wrong? Odd, I never knew it was like this, but I don't think it's proof of Biblical creation, we just don't know what happened before the Big Bang

btw I heared the pope said that evolution is an acceptable theory and that even religious countries in europe like Italy and Ireland mostly accept evolution, can you give me more details like this to convince Christians that it's not some satanic theory?

[KingHeathen]

@MingBaiLiaoJie Ehhh...perhaps that's over simplifying it a bit. It's not like the Christians that accepted Big Bang suddenly denounced it...I mean that the general population turned on Big Bang when atheists used it to prove the Earth wasn't just 6000 years old claiming it was an atheist plot to turn people away from God.

And yes, Catholics as well as Anglicans and several other denominations accept evolution. Go to talkorigins. They cover that topic in depth.

[KingHeathen]

@MingBaiLiaoJie Oh...and look up Ken Miller. An evolutionary biologist AND a Christian.

[MingBaiLiaoJie]

@KingHeathen

Where in talkorigins do they answer this question? In the list of creationist claims?

OK, I'll check Ken Miller

Thanks a bunch

[KingHeathen]

@1aaronaaron1 Oh I agree...that's why I tend to only cover the topic when it's relevant to something I'm covering regarding religion

[1aaronaaron1]

@KingHeathen btw they dont teach the whole kingdom, phyla, class thing anymore. it is still around because its how they always did it but it is not a good representation of how life is related. i guess this video is 3 years old so you might be off the hook. i like it a lot better when you talk about scripture. no offense but there are a lot of people that make better videos when it comes to biology. no one can match you when it comes to you vids about the bible.
