Evolution is a lie. There is abundant evidence that disproves the absurd theory of evolution. First of all, there are zero transitional species. There is not a single species which is a transition between two kinds of living things. For example, Tiktaalik is said to be a transition between fish and land animals simply because it is a walking fish. But Tiktaalik is not a transition. It is simply a fish. See, Tiktaalik couldn't be a transition. Tiktaalik supposedly went extinct 380 million years ago. And yet there are still species of walking fish today, such as mudskippers. So how come Tiktaalik (a walking fish) evolved into land animals 380 million years ago, and yet mudskippers living today still haven't evolved into land animals? For another example, Archaeopteryx is said to be a transition between reptiles and birds. But Archaeopteryx is not a transition. Archaeopteryx is simply a bird. See, Archaeopteryx couldn't be a transition. Archaeopteryx was found between layers of other bird fossils. So how can Archaeopteryx be a transition if the organisms preceding and succeeding it were undeniably birds? Secondly, there are zero transitional organs. There is not a single organ which is a transitional form between two different organs. For example, lungs supposedly evolved from swim bladders. And yet there is not a single organ that is a transition between the swim bladder and the lung. For another example, the heart supposedly evolved from smooth muscles. And yet there is not a single organ that is a transition between smooth muscles and the heart. Third, there are zero transitional organ systems. There is not a single organ system that is a transitional form between two different organ systems. For example, there is no organ system that is a transition between the circulatory system of an animal with a heart and the circulatory system of an animal without a heart. For another example, there is no organ system that is a transition between the nervous system of an animal with a brain and the nervous system of an animal without a brain.

[@sunbro7853]

barkYdarkATFB I think your problem would be more toward Christianity than Mr. Graham. The problems you point out are very obvious from that perspective at least. I’d like to answer your concerns.

[@sunbro7853]

barkYdarkATFB There are a few things that I need to establish first. What is bottom line of the situation? In scripture it says that after death comes the judgment. Mankind as a race offended God in the beginning. God is all good. There is no evil in Him. Since men are subject to Him, being created by Him, they should live holy lives as they are called by Christ to. Those who don’t and continue to offend God will be banished to outer darkness in the end. With all that said, there is a certain way that we should live our lives. It is a very natural way but it is a difficult way because of many many conflicting ideologies. Homosexuality is against that natural order that God has made. Hence it’s a sin. The Christian knows this and knows the ultimate end of one who continues to sin. He pleads with the person to change their way. He begs God to give them more time to turn from it. The ultimate end of the person who continues to sin is Hell. It’s simply the way it is with Christianity. Is it not a loving thing to do to try to help save someone who is going to meet a terrifying end?
