Lesson 10/16: Special Creation and Evolution

Special Creation teaches us that the entire universe was created in its present state. More specifically, that all creatures alive today have remained more or less unchanged since their ancestors appeared on earth some 6,000 years ago. Evolution, on the the other hand, teaches us that the earth and all living things change slowly over time. While Special Creation is clearly more compatible with a plain face-value reading of Genesis, Evolution provides scientists a material framework to investigate questions in the life sciences. This tension between philosophy and utility creates an interesting dilemma for Bible-believing Christians: how do we teach our children biology without compromising their trust in God's Word?

@seraph595 Most people who accept evolution are Christian, and most Christians accept evolution. Let that fact sink in a bit.

@seraph595 LMAO! that's some good stuff, mate. Make sure you put on your tin-foil hat, too.

Evolution is the creation of the desperate atheist to understand the world around him. If your an evolutionist stop believing lies, its not too late. Weird theories like this will not save you from death.

@Majoofi just another example of how fear blinds the great muscle that is the mind

I can't get over how someone who thinks as systematically and logically as you can still assert that a god exists without any evidence for it. Surely as anything but a comforter you can see how a god is reduced to a logical triviality

Much of the confusion today is because of the term "evoution" itself, which is a very poor descriptive word of what is actually going on in the real life reality and should have been discarded long ago. It is misleading to pretend that species "evolve" from other species. Rather, ALL OF LIFE is created to be able to adapt and change to changing environments in order to survive. This is fairly described as "life in transition", rather than evolution. Life is created to adapt so it can survive

@richardaberdeen Again with the swearing! I already checked out your website, had a good laugh and then recommended you to Hee Haw fans. See I do my research. I again ask you for the Biblical chapter and verse to support your crazy apocalyptic predictions. Oh, wait a minute, you said you were not going to respond anymore. You lied again. Lying, swearing what a typical follower of Jesus.

[richardaberdeen]

@Dchellberg It is literally impossible to discuss evolutionary theory in any kind of legitimate context in the amount of space allowed on YouTube. I have very clearly provided substantial evidence in Appendix C in my free online book, Fixing America in 500 Words or Less, which can be found at my website, my name and dot and then com. Thus, your comments about my lack of supporting evidence are like everything else atheists pretend, nothing but a big fucking lie.

The horror of eugenics became for adolf hitler,the main motivation and basis for the final solution.The evil acts that he attempted to carry out-selective breeding based on racial purity is proof of an evolutionary ideology.Now,anybody who knows and has biblical wisdom,understands this to be a wicked new age plan that of a masterfully cunning madman who gave himself over to the power of darkness,He being a shadow of him who is to come -Antichrist on the authority of a New World Order endgame

@richardaberdeen This is where you would support your "facts" with evidence, in this case the Chapter and Verse that supports you. I do agree that this has been a waste of time for us but hopefully not for those who might have followed the posts. I think it is pretty evident who is the "lying-ass". It should also be clear who is a hypocrite claiming to follow Jesus while lying, insulting, & swearing. I would also recommend Richards channel for any of you Hee-Haw devotees.
