Arguments on 4chan are useless time sinks in general. Not to mention that the autists who tend to argue are hardwired not to change their minds.

>>940154
Has anyone ever changed their views due to internet discussions? People usually don't start these because they want to have their worldview properly challenged.

>>940154
It's a waste of time.

>>940174
There's plenty of evidence for micro-evolution.

As to macro-evolution, well, that's a tenet of faith to the satanic Darwinists.

>>940211

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OP YOU DID IT. YOU SUMMONED HIM.

Well one could do it, but it requires for both sides to remain calm, posting facts and overall avoid making the opponent feel like he's being belittled.

This is why more often than not in places like 4chan and reddit no one changes their views is that people often use harsh rhetoric which while makes them look better on their side, makes them look worse for the other side because they see the argument being so disconnected from their views that it must be dumb.

TL'TR if you want to convert someone start out slow and don't try tom to go for a slam dunk.

>>940154
Why am I seeing these pics all over 4chan lately? Is the author viraling them?

Not really, though I haven't noticed too many threads on "darwinism vs. creationism", a lot more seem to be on the subject of "atheism vs. theism". Those haven't really changed my mind all that much either.

Anyone who is a creationist is someone who doesn't care about evidence anyway

It's something that refers to minor changes in a species.
Never heard any not a creatonist use it.
It's used in this comic.
Please, don't debate about the facts in here.
If anything, just comment on how good the author manages to argue for his case and how well presentated his opponent is.

>>941058
Oh, yes makes sense. God gifted us with the ability to adapt to change, English settling in Canada adapted to the extreme cold while the English who settled in Australia settled adapted to the extreme heat. But it's absolutely impossible for a creature to transform into something else. Does an animal just give birth to some new animal and then eventually all animals of that species look like the new animal? There's no logic behind evolution, the answer is plain as day but Atheists refuse to believe that God made us all.

>>940717
Fuck off retard.

They don't believe because they don't want to believe; they are actually in open rebellion against God.

Just curious, are there any religious people here who accept evolution? I don't think that it's necessarily contradictory. It's pretty basic biology, it's not even all that hard to understand.

>>941119
The Amish have the right idea, satan has infiltrated our society. Even churches in my city are preaching for gay marriage and abortion.

>>941128

Go to Church and all.

>>941140
This is probably a good thing. Satan seems like a much more moral deity than Yahweh.

>>941128
I'm a catholic and believe in evolution, Genesis according to church teaching isn't meant to be taken literally but merely metaphors to explain to ancient sand tribes how God works and why you should believe in him and not that other God over there that says you can sodomise anyone you want

>>941181
What do they look like?

>>940154
There's no such thing as "Darwinism". Darwin proposed the mechanic of natural selection which explained the process of evolution which everyone at the time already knew existed. Up until then they just thought that God was the one causing species to change over time, but the change itself was not denied by the vast majority of educated Christians.

>>941272
Darwin with his degree in theology, and only a degree in theology, made a fool out of himself.

And godless people still believe him.

>>941233
Do tell, I love hearing about how unbiblical "Bibuhl-buhleevin' Chirstyuns" often are.

>>941272
Guess he happened to come in the right time though, as everyone has used it at least some time.
Or is that something only fundamentalists says to not have to say "Evolution"?

>>941280
Most of the people who accept evolution are religious.

>>941365
Darwinism is a term used by evangelicals to try and make evolution seem like a competing religious outlook/ideology rather than a summary of facts. It's why they keep attacking Darwin himself when the understanding of evolution has long since moved beyond his work.

>>941365
They say it to make it sound like a religion rather than a science, as though people are adherents to the gospel of Darwin the way they are adherents to the bible.

>>941352
They don't believe the bible? They support abortion, support gay marriage.

>>941268
You can't SEE something that small, you look for the decay pattern it leaves.

>>941374
>>941383
It's kinda weird, Darwin didn't even know about how genetics worked at the time, the theory of evolution was put in order with scientists other than him.

>>941374
Granted, Darwinism as a term is still valid, but only in the context of someone advocating Social Darwinism. But the issue there is more ethics than it is fundie whining.

Social constructionism is worse than creationism desu, I don't think farmer folk doubt heredity

>>941050
This image is logically painful to read

>seeing validity in the theory on the origin of species and having man-made opinions on things ----> You're a gay, amoral anarchist who has probably had an abortion.

To prove all that syllogism would be pretty difficult.

>>944046
Evolutionism is the foundation of which all moral degeneracy has come from.

Homosexuality, feminism, transvestites, cultural marxism, neo-liberalism, nihilism, those are all branches.

You have to look at the root of the tree, Darwinism. Cut that down and everything else follows.

When people believe they are animals with no purpose to life, they start acting like savages and doing all sorts of unnatural things.

When people believe in God, they live a righteous life and act as proper humans with responsibilities and duties.

>>940236
They're a parody of assigned male.

>>940711
What did you change your opinion to?

>>944071
God's death is the cause of all those things including evolution, and that happened because the Christian will to truth devoured its patriarchal god under its own morality. It was bound to happen, and necessary. The sooner Christian morality goes away, the sooner the degeneracy goes away. Leftism is just Pauline Christianity with no God.

>>944071
There are/were all kinds of philosophies that endorse moral degeneracy or high moral standards - many without the use of evolution as a foundation.

I do agree that your chain of events is a possible outcome in itself, but you can get to and from any of those principles from so many different directions.

Let's say I agree with the Darwinism and I'm more secular than Jewish. Well, if the image was correct I'd necessarily support what follows. Maybe I'm just being too literal with logical implications and it's just a more generalized thing.

>>944190
So you're a lukewarm Christian.

Kent Hovind debunked evolution, shows how dangerous it is and how it cannot fit with the Bible.

If you still believe in monkey fairy tales when it's already been proven wrong, then that's your problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyEOPBx6i8o&list=PL41A479D546EE97AA&index=12

>>944207
All Kent Hovind does is present a strawman version of the theory of evolution, misrepresent data, ignore any corrections people have made to his mistakes, and outright lie. Evolution isn't incompatible with Christianity. Even early Christians held to allegorical interpretations of the genesis creation story over 1400 years before the theory of evolution

>>944200
The Christian god doesn't laugh, he is too world weary for that. >>I<< didn't fall for anything, but Christianity is dying out and the only way God ever existed was when he could bind people together under one domain, and that now only exists in secular humanist democracy, which is also dying because of Muslims and degeneracy. Soon the people of Europe will rise, there will be wars glorious, untold of disaster, from which we'll build the foundations of pagan pantheism of the future. It is still in our blood after thousands of years, the feeling fit this belief, and no Jew will ever succeed in taking it from us. Have fun worshipping the kike on a stick, degenerate

>>944301
There is natural selection, adaptation, survival of the fittest, breeding, and some gene mutations. These things are all micro-evolution.

People like you say that micro-evolution, over time spans that have never been observed, produce outcomes that have never been observed.

All of the evidence for "evolution", a useless term, are for micro-evolution; and there is none whatsoever for macro-evolution.

As the bible says, kind begets kind. And as we've always observed, and replicated, and bred, kind begets kind.

The bible speaks for itself. If a man cannot understand that the human race started with Adam and Eve, he's not going to understand much of the rest of the bible either.

There is no argument. Macro-evolution has never been observed. It's only an assumption that if micro-evolution happens long enough, eventually a new creature will emerge from something completely different from it.

The universe is finite, limited and will have an end. We perceive this physical world with our 5 senses of the biological computer (human body).

Time, space and matter came from something intangible and way beyond our comprehension, this is what we call God.

Mind creates mind.
Consciousness creates consciousness.

Inorganic materials and rocks cannot create beings full of emotions, passions and drive. It's scientifically impossible. Darwinism is a myth.

Personally I don't have a problem with evolution. I think both views are compatible, even though there are some flaws in some of the details.

Also fuck creationism, Ken Ham, Ken Hovind and all of those think-tank funded hucksters. The historical background of the first 5 book of the Old Testament is something you. DON'T. IGNORE. WHEN. EXPLAINING. GENESIS.

No one will change their mind, neither side can be convinced by the other because their methodologies are fundamentally different.
Someone who believes in evolution will not be convinced otherwise by faith.
Someone who believes in creationism will not be convinced by logic and evidence.

At worst the thread will degenerate into hovindposting.

And yet, on the third day, He rose from the dead, walked out of the tomb, and celebrated His victory over death and the grave.

God is not dead.

Yeah, I think a lot of gun-owners in the US are incredibly irresponsible (which is what causes a lot of accidental shootings), but more importantly there's a glorification of violence for the sake of violence. It's one thing to believe that violence is sometimes necessary, it's something else entirely to believe violence is great and your propensity for it shows how much of a man you are. Fetishization of violence is actually a problem I have with a lot of leftists, as well.

You have a very harsh opinion on people who come here to try to show you how to inherit the Kingdom of God.

And you have an incorrect opinion that we are not doing what Jesus told us to do.

And you have no way of knowing what good works we do, completely aside from posting here.

>>944615
I didn't do that though

>>944606
Yes. Young, energetic, supportive, wry sense of humor.

>>944607
So when a person kills another person, god intended for it to happen?

>>944615
That's another misconception you carry around. Christians are acutely aware of our shortcomings, and have turned to God to save us from the consequences of those very shortcomings.

In fact, we may be more aware of our sins, our transgressions, our iniquities, than an unsaved person, who will likely judge themselves very lightly.

>>944626
>You have a very harsh opinion on people who come here to try to show you how to inherit the Kingdom of God.

Yes, but then again, I have a harsh opinion on any type of cheap talk. If you don't like it, prove me wrong and actually live according to your beliefs

>>944619
But that statement is your opinion. Whether it's true or not, it's also your opinion. What I'd like to know is why you believe you've stumbled on to god's plan. What was it that made you think that this time, you've hit objective truth? You can't justify your opinion as true by stating that it is, in fact, true.

>>944635
>In fact, we may be more aware of our sins, our transgressions, our iniquities, than an unsaved person

>>944635

So why did you put peanut butter on your cock and get the dog to lick it off?

>>944635
You mean to justify your shortcomings. Let me just confess my sins and be expunged. There is nothing worse than a religious hypocrite. You guys make the claim that Atheism has killed more than religious wars, but you miss the very point that with religion, there should be no killing and wars, and yet there is.

>>944650
Since god made them that way, it is just and right, and highly pleasurable

>>944617
Those are indeed the other two options; that the universe is uncaused, and that the universe is self-caused.

If the universe is uncaused, it is eternal, and from what little we know of entropy, if it were infinite, we should be in heat death right now.

If the universe were self-caused, then we would have to presume the pre-existence of the universe in order to create the universe.

In other words, by saying God created the universe, x ----> y, we presuppose the existence of x, God, in order for God to create the universe.

By saying the universe created itself, x ----> x, we have to presuppose the universe pre-exists itself, in order to create itself.

It's logical nonsense.

The third way, the true way, the real way, is that the universe is caused by another, and that other we entitle God.

>>944624
I don't see the disorder.

Because there is no disorder.

>>944630
Things happen in the permissive will of God that are not according to the express will of God. Your hypothetical is actually dependent upon whether or not God judged that person worthy of death, and authorized another to kill him.

>>944638
You have no way to know who I am, much less how I live my life off of this board.

>>944642
I think you need to grapple with the existence of objective truth before we can progress any further. You don't seem to think it exists.

>>940321

>>944654
So you admit that atheism has caused more wars, and more bloodshed, and then turn right back and blame "religion", whatever that means, and as though all religions were the same.

And "justify your shortcomings".....that might literally be the postings of a madman.

>>944711
That is correct. Without God, there is no objective basis for morality.

>>944371
There is no distinct barrier in evolution.
Gradual evolution can result in the accumulation of new traits and prolonged seperation of a species can result in speciation.

The child generation is going to be similiar to the parent generation but whether or not the child generation is similiar to the parent generation hundreds of thousands (Or whatever arbitrarily large number you prefer) of generations previously is not absolute.

We can observe this drift through homologies we find in extant species that share common ancestors with other species or fossils.
I think the invertebrate eye is an especially interesting example since we can see the evolution of something as complex as the human eye (which is analagous to the invertebrate eye, meaning that it evolved seperately) in several steps of "refinement".
Refinement is obviously a bullshit word to use because evolution isn't goal oriented but it gets the point across.

Also genetic similarities.

Of course you can just handwave a common designer because you're bullshitting already.

>>944759

>>944784
There's a difference between "killing in the name of god"

and

"killing because God ordered you to do so"

Muslims kill in the name of a false god, that's murder.

The ancient Israelites killed giants and degenerate cultures because God told them to. God was getting rid of cancer.

>>944784
God gave the Canaanites 400 years to repent, the last of which were spent while the Hebrews were camping out in the wilderness.

>>944747
>You say it can happen, and I say it has never happened, and never been observed to happen.
>Those positions do not conflict. Mine is just better at predicting that it will never happen.

You're not adressing my points.
There is evidence that speciation has happened many times. Our timescale and capability of observation is too low to directly observe speciation through genetic drift (The fact that there are even species still to be discovered just shows that).
Assuming that's what you mean. If you mean the generation of new attributes through independant mutations then just look up Richard Lenski's long term E.Coli experiment which proves that they can.

But homologies and genetic similarities (in some cases very easily observable genetic similarities between species such as any hybrid species that does not fulfill the definition of a species) point towards speciation happening.
Your common designer argument to dismiss homologies is an incredible handwave as said before and analogous (Common goal reached through convergent evolution that clearly misses the criteria of homology) variation (vertebrate eye/invertebrate eye) puts a bit of a damper on that.

>>944861
Speciation is not evidence that kind did not beget kind. Species is a much smaller subset of kind. Two dire wolves may now be responsible for poodles, but they're still of the same kind. And two pools of mosquitoes that no longer can procreate together are still mosquitoes.

The e-coli will never turn into a duck billed platypus. That is the sort of thing that would refute "kind begets kind".

>>944873
There's no such thing as "kind"
It's a completely undefined word

>>944873
>OK, I admit that new species can be created in laboratories
>But there have never been new kingdoms seen to evolve in laboratories.

Biblical "kind" is much more coherent and better than the vague "species".

A 5 year old can tell you what animals are of the same kind.

>>944915
>I don't understand science beyond a five year old's level

big surprise

>>944893
You're the one comparing apples to oranges. I said kind begets kind. You said speciation happens. What you said is basically a non-sequitur.

And yes, you have to believe that you came from a bacteria (and that bacteria had to come from something dead) if you do not believe God created everything.

It's your goalposts that are an infinite distance away. I didn't touch them.

>>944925
Pretty sure that meant you knew less than a 5 year old.

>>944873
>Kinds
Well fuck.
No reasoning with you because kind is such a poorly defined construct as opposed to species which, while still arbitrary, can at least be defined.

>e-coli
It's E. Coli, short for Escherichia Coli. No hyphen. No electronic coli

The amount of between steps for an E. coli to spawn a duck billed platypus would be enormous (Ignoring your retarded "turn into" comment) and since evolution is not goal oriented that would be impossible without just outright guiding each change in the genome step by step.
You'd have to go from Prokaryote to Eukaryote as well which is already big.

>That is the sort of thing that would refute "kind begets kind".
An E.coli outright turning into a D.B.P. would just refute evolution as well, it's a retarded statement to make.

>>944915
>Biblical "kind" is much more coherent and better than the vague "species".
Biblical kind is based on "Common sense" which is among the dumbest ways of getting close to objectivity. Species is based on whether two lifeforms can successfully mate or not, it is at least slightly objective when comparing lifeforms that are still alive and engage in sexual reproduction.

>A 5 year old can tell you what animals are of the same kind.
A 5 year old would put a pill millipede in the same kind as a pill bug.
They look very similiar but they're analogous.
A 5 year old is not a good way to categorize species and neither are kinds.

No. You don't.

>>944944
So you admit that macro-evolution is false, and that there is no way ever a bacteria could turn into a duck billed platypus.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but since you think that evolution explains the origin of life, and the origin of human beings, then yes, you do have to go from nothing, to non-life, to life, to a much higher ordered life, all by accident.

Do the math. It would take more than 16 billion years for a one celled animal to mutate into an earthworm, at one mutation per second.

Biblical kind is based on a much simpler and less autistic view of the world. As you seem to be quite autistic, it's not really a surprise that you prefer mankind's classification system to God's.

Both of your bugs would be of the same kind, crawls upon the earth kind.

Free yourself up from your autistic need to place everything in a pigeon hole, before it's too late.

>>944861
I'd like to adress that I'm probably wrong on the subject of speciation being unobserved directly.
This (>>944335) seems to point out that it has, regardless of how annoying I find his voice.

>>944979
>So you admit that macro-evolution is false, and that there is no way ever a bacteria could turn into a duck billed platypus.
Not what I said. I said that you could not currently observe this happening again with any statistical chance (And still you stick with your idiotic "Turn into" comment which just fundamentally limits how seriously I can take you).
Evolution is not goal oriented.

>I don't know if you're aware of this, but since you think that evolution explains the origin of life, and the origin of human beings, then yes, you do have to go from nothing, to non-life, to life, to a much higher ordered life, all by accident.
Evolution explains the diversification of existing life alone. I still do believe in all those other things but they are not the subjects of the theory of evolution. Accident carries the wrong implication.

>Do the math. It would take more than 16 billion years for a one celled animal to mutate into an earthworm, at one mutation per second.
What kind of logic is this?
Have you done any of this supposed math?
Can you at least link me to the bullshit source you're linking this from?
Preferably in non-hovind format.

>Biblical kind is based on a much simpler and less autistic view of the world. As you seem to be quite autistic, it's not really a surprise that you prefer mankind's classification system to God's.
Define it.

>Both of your bugs would be of the same kind, crawls upon the earth kind.
If either of them are bugs then so are spiders and crabs etc.
The classification of kind in that context would be useless.

I don't believe that we came from literally nothing.
There is currently simply no way that I know of to observe the state of the universe before the big bang and as such I just don't feel like I can believe in anything specific regarding that since big bang took place while there was already matter available to expand.

However I feel like I can say with some certainty that we went from non-life to life (Though currently the exact mechanism is unknown as far as I know though simple RNA constructs probably factor into it).
And I can say that I believe with as much certainty as science allows that single celled life evolved into "Higher ordered life".

>>945107
I wish I could remember the paper. It was quite impressive.

>>945112
>>God has to allow everything that pass down on earth, including murder
Has to? Who would force Him? No, He knew it would happen, and it is a cost of creation. But His highest ideal is Love, the voluntary love of the creation for the Creator. So in order for that to exist, the opposite has to exist. Rejecting the Creator. God is Love, not Rape.

>>All humans are equally bad and sinful, this sin hinders us from seeing the truth
The sin doesn't stop us from seeing the truth; it stops us from being like the truth. From being like God, as He is the truth. But yes, everyone is sinful, and the distinction between more and less sinful is immaterial. All sin deserves eternal torment in hellfire.

>>As w eare all equally sinful God won't let us see the light depending on how much we deserves it but on whenever he wants it or not
Actually, the people in the darkness see the light more easily than the people carrying around their own light source. Hence the crowds around Jesus were despised by the elite; Jesus hung out with thieves, and prostitutes, and tax collectors (traitors), etc. They knew they needed the light, because they knew their deeds were dark. The self-righteous religions people did not, and killed the truth.

>>It's obvious God created the world as it's described in Geneis, our own evil just refuse us to see the right way
It changed. Men and angels changed it. Ruined it. We can only see glimpses now and then of the beauty of creation.

>>People can be evil simply due to their genes or blood, as with iSIS that exists because the Jews didn't massacre all of the Canaanites
People are evil because people are not God, and only God is good. And yes, because Joshua did not exterminate the cancer in Canaa, there exists today Arab terrorists, including ISIS.

>>945164

Yes, because God says "choose".

It's not God's will that any should go to hell, but most people are going to hell. That right there is enough to tell you that mankind has free will, can make choices, and that God will honor those choices.

>>945287

There is no outside the reach of Christ, as the Holy Spirit is the witness that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and nobody is out of His reach. Everyone has heard that, in their heart.

The saved believe; the unsaved do not.

You give someone a free will if you value the choices they are going to make using it. You would not value a robot telling you that it loved you, would you?

And are we not, right here, right now, spreading the gospel to the uttermost ends of the earth?

>>945350
Why then even send Jesus Christ to us if we can find him without even having heard of the Gospel?
No, you are spreading it to most parts, though you have been able to do that for far less than five hundred years. It wasn't since we at least discovered Australia that you could.
And even now there's tribes that you can't spread the world to, as any contact with a missionary can very well wipe out the whole tribe due to lacking immunity towards bacteria.

By studying it. By watching every single attack on it fail. By studying prophecy. By seeing each and every ripe prophecy come to fruition.

As a small example, in the book of Daniel, the kingdom following the Medeo-Persian empire was depicted as a leopard that swiftly conquered the world. That leopard was to die, and his kingdom divided to four people not related to him, and those four kingdoms would never regain the glory of the leopard's kingdom.

When Alexander the Great was shown this, he not only realized that he was the leopard, but that his kingdom was going to be short lived, and doomed. He spared Jerusalem, and Israel, knowing that the living God had prophesied his victories.

He didn't do much after that, but die.

So if prophecy, and studying prophecy, is good enough for Alexander the Great, maybe it's good enough for you too.

What about this claim though??

>The prophet Daniel supposedly predicted that four great empires were to rise and fall in succession between his day and the end of the world: Babylonia, Media, Persia, and Greece. Alexander the Great's Greek Empire was to break up into four smaller empires, the most important being the Seleucid Empire in Syria to the north, and the Ptolemaic Empire in Egypt to the south. After seven Greek kings ruled in succession, the eighth was to snatch the throne from three candidates who had more right to it than he did. This king, Antiochus Epiphanes, provoked the Maccabean War. The Book of Daniel predicted that God would miraculously destroy Antiochus Epiphanes, resurrect the righteous dead, and set up an everlasting, worldwide Israelite Empire three and a half years after the desecration of the Temple; in other words, the Messianic Empire should have begun in June of 163 BC. Since these predictions largely came true until the middle of the war and failed thereafter, we know that the author lived in Seleucid times, not Babylonian times.

The prophecies did not fail. Like many long range prophecies, they have both a near and a far fulfillment.

Antiochus IV was a type of the Antichrist, not the Antichrist at the end of the world, when the Messianic Kingdom would begin.

The Messianic Kingdom will begin after the defeat of the real Antichrist, whomever that is breathing right now.

Because the near fulfillment happened, you can be sure the far will as well. And remember, we have hindsight, and can see that there was one mountain peak, the coming of the Messiah, and another mountain peak, the second coming of the Messiah, and the valley of 2000 years in between, while Daniel could not. Daniel did not see the valley, only the peak.

The Beast 666 was Crowley, the age of the fish has ended and the new æon come.

>>941128
I'm a practicing Muslim, and I accept it.

>>945671
this is simply post hoc revisionism of the original meaning of the passage based on the assumption that it's all true. because you assume it's all true you make the scriptures jump through hoops to get the failed prophecies into the future so they can just be "unfullfilled"

>>945686
Nope. He was a nobody, died and went to hell.

The beast, the antichrist, is alive and well right now.

>mfw I really wanted to debate, but I came too late and the bump limit is soon

>>945722
Debate away, otherwise you may just write a bunch of arguments you would like to bring foueth and take them in some other time.
It's not like the arguments ever change here.

>>945712
No, it's called studying prophecy, something you cannot or will not do.

There are no failed prophecies, only prophecies that will ripen in the future.

And there would be none of those, if the Jews had accepted their Messiah 2000 years ago.

>>945731
I'm not the evolution-denier.

>>945720
You're a nobody, Crowley has a song about him and a whole cult.

>>945735
Yes, and?
Should have expressed myself differently, people are always gonna debate about pretty much the same things here, so some arguments you got right now may very well be used another time to tackle the same questions.

>>945732
so then you admit there's no degree of falsifiability in your claims. no matter what you will deny that a prophecy failed and place it into the future out of pure convenience to your world view

>>945742
You're right, I should have been more specific. Crowley is nobody in the Kingdom of God.

Or anywhere else.

Kent Hovind and Trey Smith have completely debunked evolution.

I don't see how this is still a debate.

Atheists clinging to a dead theory in desperation, sounds like.

>>945722
You had one chance to do it and drown out the "You can't know nuffin but Jesus" posters and that was at the very start of this thread.
The best effect these debates can have is when someone on your side corrects something you said that was technically wrong and then you learn from it.
The Christposters will just leave for the next thread with the same opinions and arguments.
On and on down the years.
Forever.

>>945761
I'm not an atheist, but could you elaborate how they've debunked it?

>>945756
The study of prophecy is the study of falsification; if a prophet of the Lord is not 100% correct, he dies.

It's not convenience dude. Prophecy covers the beginning of the world to the end, and we're not at the end yet.

Have patience.

You'll be thrown into a lake of burning sulfur soon enough.

>>945770
It's a meme.
They havn't.

Just read the thread.
I'm certain there's a refutation here somewhere that the christposters have flagrantly ignored because Kent Hovind is copypasta inserted into every bodily orifice of an evolution compatible thread.

>>945770
Watch Kent Hovind's creation seminar.

It's on youtube, each video is like 2 hours long.
There are over 7 videos.

>>945773
Pretty sure Jeremiah and Isaiah are both dead...

>>945784
I know, but I want to debate.

>>>945798
>It's on youtube, each video is like 2 hours long.

m8, I don't have that much time on my hands. Present me a single claim from them.

>>945773
>You'll be thrown into a lake of burning sulfur soon enough.
Am I the only one who kinda gets the idea many Fundmentalists just is in it for the revenge part?
Having someone arguing against you being proven wrong by being thrown into helfire must be the ultimate revenge fantasy.

>>945763
That's because the truth doesn't change.

>>945809

>he dies at the hands of the people right then and there....

They're both more alive than you are, though.

>>945850
It's awesome that the enemies of God get thrown into a lake of fire, yes. Completely and totally awesome.

It's also why we're here telling you to stop being an enemy of God.

We did it again, /rel/. We hit the bump limit

>>945897
I actually wish we could have some Muslim Fundamentalist come on here once, so I can see if there arguments are worse or equally good as the Fundamentalist Christians on here.

Oh how Christ-like of you,

>>945798

Yes the virtuous man who was booked for tax evasion. "Though shall not steal, except for me of course".

>>944434

Truth may be dogmatic, but dogma isn't necessarily true.

>>945281
No, since God creates us and our souls as exactly as how he wants it. You can do whatever you want, because that is how God wanted you to be.

>>945770

They didn't. Hovind got his "degrees" from unaccredited institutions.

>>946154
So God is creating people simply to send them to hell?

Genuinely curious;

What happens when micro-evolution happens over several thousand years? At what point do you go "Yeah, this animal that grew legs to adapt to land is no longer that other thing that still has fins"?

Secondly, why do we only find remains of certain creatures at certain depth in Earth's crust? What about extinction events and the slow crawl of increasing biodiversity afterwards? God testing our faith? Why would He do that?

>all lies
I've worked at museums. Most of the fossils are in the back because they aren't complete/as interesting. There are tons and tons and tons.

Here's an alternative proposal (and what I believe): God used evolution to make his creation even more amazing. A painting that adapts to look best in the room it is placed in is far more astounding than any painting a man could paint.

>>940154
I used to be a young Earth creationist. If it wasn't for debates like these I would never have gone into higher education and gotten my degree.
So no, these debates aren't useless.

>>948127
That's good to know.

I worry for the future of my country when people like my father, a man I thought very intelligent and skeptical, falls for a charlatan like Kent Hovind.

I wish more people like you existed. Christians I can handle. Fundies can fuck right off to the middle east.

I'm sure they'd be happier there.
