I have been visited by God all throughout my life & God constantly shows me the future & it all comes true within hours. One day God manifested & walked into me as if I was an open door & instantly I found myself floating above the universe & I was larger than the universe. And I could feel God's body moving inside mine & when God moved a fraction of an inch in any direction I found myself flying through space for trillions of miles in that direction. God was moving a little bit in each direction & I found myself flying trillions of miles in those directions as He moved. People are trapped in time & space & so they think that God must also be trapped by them, but He's not. He has absolute control of them. I don't care what atheists think, just as I don't care what a chimp thinks. They will meet God eventually & evolve. I'd probably be an atheist also if God had not visited me. I'm just an ordinary person like everybody else. Only God is Great. Humans are less than specs of dust compared to God. They are so tiny that they do not exist. It's only God's love that lifts them out of time & space & sets them free to live eternally with God. Bye

The fact that God exists necessarily rather than contingently, allows us to argue for God’s existence in a variety of ways, while also allowing us to discredit atheistic arguments which attempt to disprove God’s existence!

Many scientists actually reject the theory of evolution! Yes, while it is true that the majority of scientists believe in evolutionary theory, this does not make it true, which is what you appear (from my perception) to be arguing from. The logical fallacy: Faulty Appeal to Majority/Authority, is believing something just because an authoritative figure (such as these scientists), or the majority of people (such as the majority of scientists holding to a particular view), believe it. Just because they believe it does not make it true! What makes it true is the evidence, and there seems to be no good evidence for the theory of evolution that I can find!

The reasons may be numerous as to why they accept evolutionary theory. Listing those two options as the only possible options (which it seems as you are trying to frame it) seems intellectually dishonest to me. A couple of reasons could be that it is a carefully protected religion (which many instances support, you can listen to Dr. Kent Hovind's Creation Seminar in the playlist section of this channel as a source). Also, there is an enormous amount of peer pressure around this topic! While I could list more possible reasons as to why, I personally think that the theory of evolution is wrong because there is no evidence to support it!

@@ImperativeApologetics feel free to add other options as you did. indeed I can also think of one more: they know something you don't. But somehow people tend to dismiss that option - after all, scientists only spend 8+ years studying and then worked with it for years. What could they possible learn from that which you can't learn from watching a bit of youtube videos. peer pressure is indeed an option - is that the part where dissidents are sent off to Sweden to have lunch with one or another old guy insisting they call him "your majesty"? I think it is called the Nobel Prize reception or something. Kent Hovind (I know how he got his "doctorate" from, so out of respect for people who worked for their degree not going to use it for him) is not exactly a shining beacon of knowledge. I like the recent idea of his where he "demonstrates" the earth can't be old as it is slowing down - not realising the speed it slows down with. His moon dust and receding moon arguments are also hilarious. Can you give an example of a convincing argument from him? To be fair, he does actually accept macro evolution, he just does not want to call it evolution. It is just adaptation to such a degree the species can no longer interbreed.

It is true that macroevolution has never been observed due to the big time frame. But that does not neccesarily make the conclusion that it did not happen. If we can agree that evolution can change the beak shape of the bird, wouldn't it at least make sense (on that premise) that it is at least worth thinking about if an animal's leg, body shape and entire body system could change as well? I see your point that it would be so cruel for God to use evolution as the method of creating life such as us. But if we simply observe the animal world today, we see plenty of brutal suffering out in the wild even where there has been no human intervention at all. What are your thoughts on all of this?
@ImperativeApologetics
@ImperativeApologetics 2 месяца назад
There are six types of evolution. There is: 1. Cosmic Evolution (i.e. Big Bang) 2. Chemical Evolution 3. Stellar & Planetary Evolution 4. The Origin of Life 5. Macroevolution 6. Microevolution The changing beak shape of the bird that you are referring to is microevolution (or simply called variations). That is science, but the other forms of evolution are complete speculation. There are limits to the genetic variation that an animal, plant, or human is able to go through. There will never be a pig as big as Texas for example. There is simply a limit. There is no evidence of macroevolution ever occurring (or at least I haven't seen any). The animal suffering is simply a result that we live in a fallen Creation. Man's original sin brought death and suffering into the world. God had originally Created a perfect world, but sin ruined it, which is consequently why we see this animal suffering and so on. But thankfully God is going to Create a new heaven, and a new earth! (Those are my thoughts on those points!)

I’ve never understood people who think the earth is young. I actually would side with atheists when they would easily debunk these claims from people such as Ken ham. If you read genesis literally then you think God gets tired, that God has a mouth and speaks, that God physically hovered over earth, and other things like that. Even before I accepted old earth and theistic evolution I never assumed genesis was literal and it’s completely dishonest to say that. Genesis also claims the earth is flat with water over it in the sky. So unless you also accept this to be literal then you can’t accept that the first part is literal either

Dude, you shouldn't be taking every part of the Bible as literal. Secondly, it is a trap for us to say science isn't compatible with Christianity, because it makes us look anti-intellectual. Science is the study of God's world, so it should be supported. Many of our scientific advances have been done by Christians even. Evolution DOES NOT claim to explain the origin of life, only how it changes over time. Genesis explains how it was created. There is no discrepancy.

@@ImperativeApologetics The Big Bang is both Christian and true though. This is what I mean by a trap. We've been tricked into thinking that the big bang is an atheist belief, but it's actually Christian. Before the theory was proposed, Christians believed the world was created by God, and had a beginning. Atheists didn't believe in God, so they claimed the universe was eternal. No beginning, no creation. The Big Bang proves there was a beginning! Therefore God is real! Origin of life isn't evolution, science can't really explain that. I learned from biologists that evolution can't answer that question. That's what theology is meant to answer.

I find it incredibly difficult that someone (being unbiased) could read the Genesis account of Creation, and come up with the notion that God Created everything by means of evolutionary processes. Just because we believe and know that the world was Created by Almighty God, that does not mean that He used the Big Bang/evolution to Create! I would ask you for the evidence supporting the Big Bang theory, and what verses in the Bible support this theory being used by God in His Creation?

Evolution is not science! Variations certainly do happen, but macroevolution and the other forms of evolution are purely imaginary.

The simple answer is not so simple. There are two types of evolution micro and macro. Microevolution is very possible and happens everyday. Basic small changes to adapt to an environment. Macro evolution is much more extreme. For instance monkeys to humans or human fish to lizards. I don't think macroevolution is real since it would require a very intricate mutation and not only that the mutation would be required to happen on two of the same creature for them to repopulate
@ImperativeApologetics
@ImperativeApologetics 2 месяца назад
Yes, I agree that microevolution (or simply variations) do in fact happen everyday, and I was not arguing about whether or not variations occur in nature (which they do). Microevolution seems to me to be the term in which evolutionary advocates 'bait and switch,' while attempting to prove evolution. They oftentimes point to a variation within a species, and then use that to argue for macroevolution, which is way more extreme than microevolution! Kent Hovind described the six types of evolution: 1. Cosmic Evolution (i.e. Big Bang) 2. Chemical Evolution 3. Stellar & Planetary Evolution 4. The Origin of Life 5. Macroevolution 6. Microevolution The first five types of evolution are the ones which I was showing were incompatible with the Bible. I wholeheartedly agree with you that microevolution does in fact occur everyday, and it is the only scientific form of evolution!

If you would like research more, I would recommend: Kent Hovind's Creation Seminar (Can be found in the Playlist section of this channel) Ken Ham with Answers in Genesis William Lane Craig with Reasonable Faith Gary Habermas J. Warner Wallace Ray Comfort with Living Waters (There are so many more)! Please remember that everyone, including you, are a sinner. Everyone has broken the 10 Commandments. Everyone has lied, stolen, blasphemed the name of God, looked with lust, which Jesus equated to committing adultery in the heart, and etc. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

Jesus Christ has given you the free gift of everlasting life, and all you must do is repent of your sins, and trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior. EVERYONE has lied, stolen, etc. I know I have! Everyone deserves the death sentence for their sins, but Jesus Christ took your place on the cross! The God of the universe suffered and died for you! As for some evidence: The Kalam Cosmological Argument states: Everything that begins to exist has a cause, The universe began to exist, Therefore, the universe has a cause. Whatever Created the universe must be outside of the universe (therefore immaterial, non-spatial, and not affected by time), and also must be enormously powerful: God. Where do moral absolutes/values come from? These must be nested in an objective reference point, namely God! The Bible has prophesied to stunning accuracy, as well as stating scientific knowledge thousands of years before they were discovered in modern times. For instance, the Bible prophesied the Creation of the nation of Israel on the exact day of May 14th, 1948, and the Bible declared that "the life of the flesh is in the blood" (Leviticus 17:11). The Gospel accounts, as well as non-Christian records record that Jesus Christ did truly die on the cross, and many ancient towns and communities reported the martyrdom of the apostles, this martyrdom being because they would not recant their claims that Jesus Christ rose from the dead! Jesus Christ died on the cross, taking your place, and wants to save you. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Please please please think about this seriously. If you do not accept the free gift of everlasting life, you will be sent to an eternity in hell, where the fire is never quenched. I will be praying for you. I want you to know that I truly care deeply about you, even though we have never met. Please receive the free gift of everlasting life, because you deserve to go to hell, but Jesus Christ paid your fine, but you must repent of your sins (be truly sorry for them, and willing to turn from them), and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!!

The martyrdom of the apostles provides strong evidence that Jesus was truly resurrected from the grave. The apostles died, refusing to recant their claims that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. But if the claim was simply a part of an elaborate conspiracy, why would the disciples willingly die for it? It can thus be stated in confidence that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a true event within history.
