god help: Not to sound mean but Why do christians dont believe in evolution - Help.com

The most reasonable thing to do is to believe in both, humans both came from god and evolved from monkeys. Or to not believe in either one, no scienticic evidence in religion and science can’t explain everything. Either way, there is no right awnser.

Because believing in something bigger than oneself makes a person feel less alone, and more apart of something. However, many Christian take the Bible very literally, without room for change or reason. Such as Genesis. God describes creating the universe, the earth, and the beings on it in only seven days. God follows no time, nor was it measured. It was written like so, so that we can understand it better. Many people don’t get it.

Personally I believe God created the earth and all beings to evolve. Win-win situation.

it is an evol sounding word

As you said, not all Christians believe in literal interpretation, though. Christianity throughout time has naturally resisted change. As time goes on, more of evolution or another theory that hasn’t been proposed yet will become more verified than that theory is now. (I’m not saying that evolution is not true, just that there are still enough holes that I can understand people still looking at different points of view) , more and more sects of Christianity will begin to embrace these ideas not as separate from religion but as a part of religion. More and more Christian faiths now believe that evolution is a definite possibility. Many doctrines teach that God in fact STARTED evolution. Just give people time to catch up.

Wow. Evolution started an argument… who would’ve seen that coming?

Well READ the TITLE of YOUR post and then UNDERSTAND what I am SAYING.

He did put a disclaimer. “(Not all Christian people are like this but the most of them)”.

IT’s not really “Christians”. It’s just some people’s parents, who would rather not say that their offspring might be “better” than them, they’d rather have it be that the originators, the creators were the “better” ones.

That’s just a guess.

Oops once again I tried to enter into an intelligent discussion but then was freaked out on by the person who started the conversation. Sorry for the intrusion. Carry on.

You are formally known as “help.mod”, am I correct?

don’t get yourself so worked up… people disagree but don’t let it get under your skin.

Dear God/dess, please let this conversation evolve into a gloriously rational and scientifically provable discussion. Amen.

I apologize for asking a simple question, however, I did anticipate such a response from you. As for the a**holes, I believe you started being rude and cursing first. Be the change that you want to see.

Ok. Due to the discovery of Lucy, at least some parts of evolution have been verified. If nothing else, it has been acknowledged that a mid-order of primates did at one time exist on this planet. Hardly on topic with the original question but, as a starting point: Can we agree on this?

Then if at least this much is public about evolution, we can reasonably determine that ignoring this physical evidence is a matter of personal choice. As humans, we value and respect personal choice. So, I don’t know why some don’t believe in even basic evolution, but it’s their business.

If it is forced, than it’s not a personal choice. Parents are obligated to teach their children what they believe to be the truth. If the children reject it on their own, it is then the parents obligation to support the child and answer whatever questions they may have to the best of their abilities.

Sounds reasonable, right?

That tends to happen in these controversial discussions, but re-reading it looks like there just happened to be some miscommunication and chaos on this post, no doubt unintelligently designed by satan.

That tricky bastard.

While it is rarely practiced, knowledge is often the best cure for what can only be diagnosed as a broken practice. By educating ourselves to opposing viewpoints, maybe the freedom to make a personal choice will not be so uncommon.

And there is no doubt that satan is trying to poison this site. He was probably trying to type in hell and instead of hitting the second “l” accidentally jabbed the p button above and to the right with his huge satan claw. after doing this, he decided that all sites having to do with “help” must be destroyed so that people would easier come to “hell”

Touche.

have you ever heard of the driving acronym SIPDE? (Search, Identify, Predict, Decide, Excecute)

A similar process can be used both ways

S earch deeper for either the child’s reason for rejecting or reason for affirming. With

With children, a surface reason is not always accurate

I dentify with the child’s decision and attempt to identify any logical errors, either way helping the child to understand their OWN decision might help them.

P redict how the child and the parents might respond to criticism or rejection from either side, as a parent you’re not always used to having your child reject your teachings

D ecide on a mediation tactic that can mutually help all parties involved grow as individuals and accept individual choices, no matter how large.

E xcecute. Make sure that both parties excecute changes in their actions and ways of dealing with each other to be respectful and supporting.

I hope this helped.

Well, goodnight. It’s 2:41 AM at my house near Philadelphia right now. I hope I’ve helped on this topic.

I’m a Christian and I beleive in both evolution, and creationism. It’s because in the bible no one ever said exactly what a human was like, maybe we were alot more like monkeys back then and when we were sent out of Eden perhaps we started to evolve. The reason I don’t beleive in evolution and science alone is because though some of it makes sense how did it all start to happen…if there was a big bang then what caused it, my friend told me something about atoms hitting together or something like that, but how did the atoms get there? I think that there must of been some higher power helping everything along, and the one I chose to beleive in is the Christian God.

Your repeated insistence that there is a “help.com” is growing tiresome. We shall have to adjust your medications if you cannot find the strength within yourself to let go of this dangerous delusion.

Wow. What a response.

At least I didn’t pick on anyone for their stupidity.

you’re both being pretty childish if you ask me.

EVERYONE is.

The response may come a bit late but just so you know, I didn’t mean for my response to be an insult.
