This is for my Christian brothers and sisters. Do you believe in evolution, that all species came about from a common ancestor? Is that belief consistent with Scripture?

You Say You Want An Evolution!
Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

I'm divided. I don't have a problem with the idea that evolution could be true, or that the earth could be millions of years old, and don't believe that these things being true would necessarily undermine scripture, but I'm not convinced that the evidence we have points in a singular direction, either, so I take the matter as an open question and don't really dwell on it.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Brutal honesty - I know what the Bible says, and I believe the Bible is the Word of God. I know SOME of what Science says, and that apparently is a problem with the Biblical record.
My job, as I see it, is to preach Jesus, crucified, buried and risen again. There are a lot of things I don't know, and there are a lot of things I know but don't understand. To me, it's all about Jesus.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I believe in an old earth, but not in evolution, although if it were true I don't think it invalidates.
To me the whole issue is not important to my faith. Was the earth made in 7 days? in 7 seconds? in 7 million years? I don't care.

As to the second part, you are absolutely ri.... You are corre... You're riiiii... You aren't wrong. And Sparko isn't wrong (for once) either when he says that it "is not important to my faith." Simply put our salvation does not hang on whether the earth is billions or thousands of years old. Nor does it depend on whether life has changed and adapted over time after it first arose or was zapped into existence as it is now ex nihilo. What matters is our faith in Jesus as our Savior.Last edited by rogue06; 02-12-2019, 12:55 PM.
