Evolution and God are compatible Part II- Ken Miller

Stop making people "choose" between evolution and God. This is EXACTLY what fanatical Christians want you to do.

what i'd like to say is that. If you try to accept god through evolution like I used to have, you are basically lying to yourself. If you accept such god you should also accept a god that just started the universe and left everythign to be. A non intervening god that doesn't care and will never care. A god that doesn't provide you with afterlife and you aknowledge such god only by his presence. I am sorry but such god is not enough f0r me, and not even logical.

thx

Non intervening period, or non-intervening until we evolved?

[pnx031]

I believe you are an intelligent man that's why I subscribed to your videos. But on this issue I do think you are just holding on to to something that makes u sleep better at night.

If it works for u then fine :)

Great claims require great evidence.

[DonExodus2]

It doesnt make me sleep better at night, I hold onto it because for me, the amount of subjective evidence required to overcome the null hypothesis of no God has been met.

Don,

These compatibility videos are excellent. However, given your own brief descriptions of your faith here, I have to ask. Have you looked into Deism? If you believe in God as a source of objective morality and ordered natural systems in the universe... but see the bible and organized religions are getting it wrong and doing more harm than good, I'd love to welcome you over to my world.

The question of God's existence is largely irrelevant. Time to ask about the nature of God is.

"Thus why evolution is not accepted by the majority of scientists but by only the majority of atheists"

you, sir, are deluded. Forgive me but how anyone can look at evolution and all the evidence provided for it and call it faith is beyond me. Unless of course that person is deluded. Also, on that quote you provided, I'd like you to define postulate. I just wanna see how knowledgeable you are of the words you are using.

[hisham031170]

Stephen C Meyer has a clear position on this. Unlike Ken Miller, he emphasized that evolution is athiestic concept and is contradictory to religion. I doubt Ken Miller's christianity.

Cont. This is the same person that holds workshops called The Collapse of Intelligent Design! Lol! How can Jesus have created everything while at the same time do it without intelligent design? If you like double talk and double think, evoevangelists and evolutionary literature is the place to go to get it. And certainly not just in the realm of theology!

[LoricaLady]

You can believe that YHWH, aka God, & evolution are compatible if you are willing to ignore the 1st law of logic (and since evolutionists base their case on a series of logical fallacies, they have no problem with that). Aristotle taught us the 1st Law: 2 contradictory statements cannot both be true. It cannot both be true that things got here by accident and that they were designed. In the Colbert report Miller says that as an RC he believes "Jesus created all that is, seen & unseen". Cont

Furthermore on Evolution being the enemy of God, is that an atheist can easily dimiss the Bible as fairytales, and say here's the proof (Evolution).

[ZebrasFirst]

I loved the Christian Fish eating the Evolution Fish. That's what evolutionists get for being smart alecks.

Evolution IS the enemy of God because it claims Man and Beast are ONE, when Genesis clearly states the two were created separately.

Sure one can be a Christian AND an Evolutionist, however, they'd be in major contradiction.

[Indy4fan]

@DonExodus2 therefore Zeus exists?

[Indy4fan]

@GreaterApe And that's what we're doing, we're pointing out the bad evidence when they try and reconcile faith and reason. What's baffling with ppl like Ken Miller is that he doesn't believe in ID yet believes in God and Evolution.... um isn't that ID? lol I mean if u're gonna believe in a theistic, christian god, then it's an intelligent entity but that's not in evolution. He's no better than the creationists and their christian delusion.

[crockoduckevolved]

evolution dosen't disprove a god, it proves genesis is a fairy tale.

[YaWhatIThoughtYa]

@DonExodus2 Tell him to read fourth century theologians Saint Augustine's commentary "The Literal Interpretation of Genesis" where he says the order of the days is not literal. Also many past theologians thought that Gen 1:1 refers to God's original creation and Gen 1:2-2:4 refers to a ruin of God's creation brought on by the fall of Satan and God's renewal of it, so it could refer to a repopulation of creatures.

[YaWhatIThoughtYa]

@highwind8124 Read fourth century theologian Saint Augustine's commentary "On the Literal Interpretation of Genesis" where he argues that the order or the days are not supposed to be taken literally. This is important because he is considered by both Catholics and Protestants to be one of the greatest Christian theologians who ever lived.
