Further I just want to say, I believe in a god and I also believe in evolution. I see no contradiction or conflict of interest between the two.
Just for a moment, reader, I would like you to ponde the vast cosmos. The universe is perhaps far too complex to be be simply a random arrangement of gases and other forms of matter.
As such, I think that there is something behind everything, this is where the connection comes in.
Genesis, the first book of the Bible, doesn't specifically mention how god created all the creatures he created, or the other things we currently find on earth. I mean why would God give out his secrets, but I digress.
The below text is taken from the book of Genesis Chapter 1 20-25 from the King James Version of the Bible.
20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every
thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
I happen to believe that as long as you believe in something and have faith, that is good, and that should be good enough. Even an atheists believes in something, or has faith if you will. An atheist, as I understand atheism, believes that there is no God. So obviously that too is faith.
Last I just want to say I support all religions and faiths. I have no problems with any belief. I just hope that at some point everyone else will feel the same way.

boy you are in a comtemplative mode eh? well I agree with pretty much everything you say. You see the probem with most people is that they apply false logic to their arguments according to religion and faith and think that it is ok because it is based on faith or what have you. This however is wrong. Evolution does not negate the idea of a God, this does not equate. It is false reasoning. You see God gave everyone a brain and the right to choose and by not fully understanding your faith and by putting forth false logic, people are disuaded by this. Really if you think about it - faith in God and Jesus christ is just that - faith. No more no less. You can have support to your faith and justify it all you want - but it is in the end, just faith. And this does not have to exclude all other ideas. Use logic and faith in conjunction. I promise it will work.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that I am using false logic?
ReplyDeleteI don't really think that I am, I was just putting forth my opinion.
