Is Acceptance of Evolution A Threat To Belief In God - Theism? by huxley2(m): 11:23pm On May 29, 2009
Why do some religionist get so hot under their pants when evolution is mentioned? Is evolution a threat to religious belief?  If it is, why do they consider it a threat?  And what do detractors of evolution make of other religionists who accept evolution?  Do they think that their theology is wrong-headed?

Watch a very good Christian scientist who accepts and defends evolution here.

Don't you have anything doing.  You waste all your life on nairaland making meaningless posts that make no difference whatsoever. You were created to irritate the world and to demostrate the epitome of foolishness. If my dog was half as stupid as you, I would happilly dash it to a Calabar man.  grin. Im my lifetime, I have met a lot of jobless people and also foolish ones but this is the first time I'm meeting someone who is both jobless and foolish. Be a real man and get a life.

Ah, Good Christian. I guess this is very complimentary to Calabar men. If you were half as intelligent as that dog (remember, "dog" is god spelt backward) you would attempt these questions, but just as I predicted you can't.

I have a personal beef with all atheists, home and abroad. Wherever you are, there's no hiding place for you. Im coming to get you.

With insults like that we can recognise a Christian. The more they read the bible the more they use INSULTS.

@ Topic

I think it is fair for the atheist to also tell us what is the problem in defining ur beliefs, scientifically and intellectually.

Evolution is just an irrational way of saying "All things came into being without GOD" without any proof. Whats the point of being irritated at an insignificant postulation?

No evolution is not a threat to religion. Point is God created, however way he deemed to bring about his creation is left to him. If Science shows that evolution is the way in which God brought about his creation then so be it. Point is God got it going.

The problem comes in when people use evolution or the big bang to prove that God doesn't exist, or use it as their excuse not to believe in God. Problem also comes in when people read Genesis literally and attack evolution.

Evolution is a pseudo-science there is no proof that we evolved from apes.

Do apes now existing evolve into humans or give birth to Homo Sapien etc. No

It was created by evil people to destroy the belief in God hence in His righteous will for mankind.

Evolution is used as a means to control the masses to get them out of the control of God into the hands of evil leaders.

Because God opposes every evil thing they are planning and scheming.

Evolution doesn't say we evolved from apes, but that we have a common ancestor.

So if your god oppose every evil, then who allowed the existence of evil?

Atheists are a bunch of Godophoboes.  There's no other way to put it.  I just wish they would learn to be more tolerant and open-minded.  Their fear of God is driving them mad.


bawomolo don't you agree?

oh it would be fine if it actually ended with the "they don't believe in god" part.  the phobia part kicks in due to the obvious fact that many of you  have actually developed an irrational insecurity, aversion, hatred for God that can only be flogged out of you in a psychiatric ward.

If for an atheist there is NO god how can he hate something that do not exist for him? (I did say for Him)
And why do you think that if someone is against religion this mean that he is atheist.?
Re: Is Acceptance of Evolution A Threat To Belief In God - Theism? by C2H5OH(f): 12:11am On May 31, 2009

The Daily use of insults by christians like Davidylan just reinforce the fact that christians like him (not all) are limiteds in mind. If someone deal with facts, evidences, and reason,  there is no need for insults. this is certainly not the best option. As long as there is no answers anybody can and will come on the forum and ask them the same question.

Yeah right. I think the ignorance of some of "you people" and your closemindedness is preventing y'all from seeing or accepting the answers to your questions.

To you "their responses makes no sense" . Right?

No to them ours questions makes no sense so they reverse the problem by saying that their responses makes no sense to us when in reality There is NO answers. It is simple if they dont want or cannot answer a question they will just say Ohh!! you know your question is stupid or they will say why do you ask a silly question?. When in reality they know very well that the question make a lot of sense, or they will say Ohh!!! you know I think I answered maybe this question in another thread last year or they will just give you an escape link on the post. And when we really ask them again the unanswered question then they start the insults like Fools, Brainless, Idiots, Stupid, Deluded goon, etc (All christian vocabulary). If you want just review many part of the religious forum on Nairaland and you will see by yourself, all the posts talk themselves.

Simple answer, no, acceptance of evolution is generally not a threat to belief in any gods. However, it can be problematic for theists in religions that actively promote a history of myths as facts. Or people that think thse myths are in fact literal happenings. At that point many of those theists convince themselves that every other person in their religion that accepts evolution isn't a true member of the religion.

Anyway, Ken Miller is always a great example of a sceintist capable of doing evolutionary science despite his Christianity.
