    You know, I really don't think that they really believe that strongly; I believe it's more that if they don't hold onto evolution they would have to admit that there is something/someone far greater & more intelligent than themselves, and therefore it becomes an accountability issue.

    I don't recall the character's name, but one "atheist" some years ago was honest enough to state that he did not want to believe in God, simply because that belief would mess up his life of $exual escapades.

    When evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.

    I don't think atheistic evolutionists have a monopoly on sexual escapades! We read almost everyday of a preacher getting involved in one way or another,and some big name blokes as well.

    Yes, I believe in adam,,first man, and Adam and Eve as reported in Genesis. Even some 5 other religions have the same beginnings of creation in their writing and some older than Moses' writings.

    By the way, that "atheist" may have been a professor in BC, Canada, speaking to Billy Graham back in the late 50's. He was a biologist!

    Cheers,

    Marcia the above is a very perceptive statement which I believe puts evolution in proper perspective. It is a secular religion based on irrational faith.

    How, then, do you explain the geologic ages as viewed in the rock formations say on the coast of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland?

    There are defined layers using the scientifically approved system of carbon dating. It indicates freezing and flooding, plus erosions.

    Then, please explain the bones of prehistoric animals discovered in Alberta, Canada. Dating has been established..dinasaurs! Should visit the museum sometime.

    What about other peoples inhabiting lands outside the Holy Land. They are not specifically identified in the scriptures we have.

    How do explain prehistoric humans?

    Do you also deny that God used volcanic actions to destroy Sodom, even though the scriptures do not state what action was used, except God caused it?

    I don't usually get involved in these kinds of thing. It would take a book. I just think people should do more research if they really want to answer evolutionists questions.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Did God create Adam from the dust as a zygote, then nourish him until he was able to pick the fruit off the trees in the Garden? No.

    God created a fully grown adult right out of the clay. God created a world that was mature, from day one.

    Carbon dating may be scientifically approved but it is incorrect for the simple reason that it assumes an old earth. That assumption then leads to the erroneous conclusion that Carbon 14 is in equilibrium in the atmosphere.

    Regularbaptist:

    You are correct. Typical evolution assumes that the earth is millions, even billions of years old. It further assumes that carbon 14 is consistent throughout the ages. In this sense it is highly inaccurate.

    It is, however, accurate, given the variables. For instance, the Dead Sea Scrolls. Scientists had a very realistic timeline for these scrolls. The only variable remains the consistency of carbon in the atmosphere. The tests prove accurate within a couple of years.

    Applying carbon testing within a thousand year period proves relatively accurate, give or take a 1000 years.

    Hence, I work within the recorded biblical years. Where I depart is searching the whole globe and not limiting my studies to the Holy Land.

    We are miles apart from those who are traditionally called atheistic evolutionists.

    I don't expect others to believe me on this, and that doesn't matter. It satisfies my mind without compromising scripture and my beliefs in God, creation and life and death.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    I get it now. I think it was late when I was reading what you wrote or I was tired. It just wasn't computing in my brain! :wavey:
