[@weltschmerzistofthaufig2440]

@@SDRBass Huh? Buddy, you are conflating evolution with abiogenesis. We know a lot about how evolutionary mechanisms, such as mutation, selection, and genetic drift, function. Meanwhile, abiogenesis explains how amino acids were able to form peptide bonds and undergo folding to form proteins, which were encased in an amphipathic membrane to form the first protocell. This occurred through dynamic chemical interactions and a selection mechanism. This makes much more sense than a mythological Canaanite deity making humans from clay.

“Do not give that which is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, for they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Matthew 7:6 ✝️🕊️ The profound meaning of this saying of Jesus: certain truths and blessings of our faith are not to be shared with people who are totally antagonistic to the things of God. They have no appreciation for that which is holy and righteous. They would take that which is “holy” and the “pearls” of every precious truth of God’s Word as foolishness and as an insult. Just as a wild animal that scavenges for food would trample under his feet the one offering the “food” of precious jewels or even the holy things of God, so also those who are enemies of the Gospel and ridiculers of the things of God will scorn and slander the precious truths of Scripture and attack the very faith of believers who offer that Word to them (“lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”). I really like John MacArthur’s application on this saying: “When people not only reject the gospel, but insist on mocking and reviling it, we are not to waste God’s holy Word and the precious pearls of His truth in a futile and frustrating attempt to win them. We are to leave them to the Lord, trusting that somehow His Spirit can penetrate their hearts.” Dear friend, if you have someone in your life like this I would encourage you to pray for the Lord to open their heart to the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

That’s because creationism isn’t logical or scientific. It’s the complete opposite. It begins with a conclusion and tries to justify that preconceived conclusion .

I grew up with Ken Ham and AiG, but I eventually got out of it and obtained a degree in biology with a specialization in microbiology and aquatic ecosystems.

@@jeremyelford7926 Ah, but a mistake is assuming that was *originally* written is the same as what we read today. Not to mention is what was written what actually happened. Eg, we know that the gospels were written long after the events, by anonymous authors that weren't eyewitnesses. They were likely based on oral accounts that could've changed in a myriad of ways. Not to mention the 3 synoptic gospels, which scholars all say had the same source (but they have no way of knowing exactly how that happened, ie, did one synoptic gospel get written first, and the other 2 based on that? Or were all 3 derived from the same source? They don't know). Which brings me to "stood up flawlessly to 20 centuries of scrutiny". What does that mean exactly? What kind of scrutiny are we talking about here? Eg, are we to interpret the creation myth in genesis as literal? It isn't, it's just a made up story, and it's obvious that it's a made up story. A catholic priest will tell you this. So what does scrutiny mean? When the gospels talk about the virgin birth, is that also to be taken literally? If so, there's no way to confirm that statement, there's no way to prove it; there's just zero evidence for it. Thus applying scrutiny to it, you'd have to conclude it's made up.

The Supreme illusion of the World Mind is that it accepts mortality/form as reality. Through Conscious Realization We must Establish Our Oneness with God....! Christ is born in us when we come to the virginal conscious realization that Spirit(Divine Consciousness)is the Only Presence. It is an unadulterated, unsullied moment of Illumination. It is an immaculate conception of the rare, but highly receptive, intuitive readiness for the Absolute Truth. It is an unblemished, impeccable Mystical insight into our True Spiritual Nature. The Birth of Our Spiritual State of Being as the Activity of Truth in Our Consciousness.....! Christ teaches from a different level that the human intellect is not prepared to receive!! Jesus was saying what all Illumined beings said before and after him, which is: Realize your own Divine Christ(Immortal Nature)within, and it will lead you out of the Veiled Dream of Time and Space. Out of the Cycle of Birth and Death. Follow me(Accept Your Immortality), I, the Christ of your being across the Mystical Ocean of Time where you don't walk in the world of matter, form, physicality, iniquity, mortality..... The Truth(aka Christ, just a name used to identify a State of Consciousness) we are walks in the Kingdom of Heaven right here, where no mortal being or carnal mind can reach it!! The Christ we are is Untouchable, and only sees that which is the Kingdom of Spirit/God!! All Illumined Beings Rest in this Principle: Abstain from the Temptation to believe that which is finite/material is of Consciousness/Spirit/God. If it's happening in Time and Space it can not be taking place! Both the religious and atheistic world interpret this Mystic teaching through the same illusory sense known as human intellect, and this is what the Mystical Manuscript points out to those that are able to Discern it. Religion is born of ignorance, and atheism is born of religion, so what we have here are two sides of the same coin of nothingness. Both turn away from Oneness, from Omnipresence, from Spirit, from God! We must abandon the illusion/nothingness of the personal, physical self, and accept the Perfect Spiritual Body of the Kingdom of Spirit as the Only Reality. When this happens there is no longer anything to fight, to correct, pray to, pray for, or to run to or from!! "My Kingdom is not of this Material World" My Kingdom is the One and Only Spiritual Kingdom! The Kingdom of Heaven Within! The bible(and every other ancient Mystical Manuscript) has been hijacked by the carnal minds/human minds ignorance of the belief in a life separate and apart from Omnipresence(God....Oneness), yet, if Spiritually Discerned as it's meant to be, shows us how to walk out of the appearance of matter, out of the shadow of the Acceptance of birth and death(Atheism), and into the Immortal State of Our Being that is Spirit/Immortality/Incorporeality/Consciousness As the Only Presence. The Bible reveals the Unreality of the Material Dream of the Mind, and the Reality of Spirit/God as the Only Presence. The Truth and Untruth are placed next to each other in the Bible to show us Immortal Spirit as Reality, and the Mental Distortion we call Finite Form that we Entertain as Reality.... What we believe we are experiencing as a mortal being is actually the Binding/Imprisoning of Spiritual Immortality as the Truth of the Activity of Our Consciousness into a Mortal and Material Sense of Awareneness. The message of the bible(and all true Spiritual teachings) is not for the timid, it is for those who are willing to walk the Earth in Proportion to their Receptivity of Spiritual Immortality as Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Shankara, and many others have(THE STRAIT GATE)! Through the Realization and Acceptance of Spirit as the Only Presence Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and many others became Interpreters and Demonstrators(as you will ultimately be)for the language of the Realization of Spirit/God as the Only Presence. Thereby Demonstrating the Unreality of the Material World, Human Mind, and the 5 Senses. Everything of the Senses is Perishable because it is not of Spirit, and therefore, not a Reality. Everything of Spirit is Imperishable, and your Divine Infinite Being, that which Jesus called The Father Within, the Buddha called the Buddha Mind, and Lao Tzu called the Tao, is Immortal, Omnipresent Spirit. Where everything appears to be, only Spirit/God is.... The Cornerstone of the Christ(God/Spiritual Consciousness Realized)Teaching is that Spirit/God is the Only Presence, not to worship Jesus the illusory form that is nothing and can do nothing of itself....(with Spirit being the only Presence, to worship anything of an illusory material nature, such as a human form, is to worship a graven image, as all matter is a graven image). GOD/SPIRIT IS OMNIPRESENT! (God/Spirit is the Only Presence) Therefore, to Be Reborn is to Overcome the Belief of a Human Birth, and Accept Spirit as the Only Presence! What is not of Spirit is not a reality. Every Temptation of this World is Meaningless when you know the Truth of Your Immortal Christ/God/Spiritual Being!! The Matter/Error/Evil is not there, ONLY THE TEMPTATION TO ACCEPT IT AS REALITY IS!! The Bible is a Mystical Manuscript written for the Development of Spiritual Discernment by those of a Mystical/Spiritual Consciousness, and written in such a way that if it were to make it's way outside of the Mystery Schools it couldn't be Spiritually Discerned by man with breath in his nostrils, and would instead be misinterpreted, and this choice has worked Perfectly, as the World Mind Illusion worships it as a religious document! No religion has found God, ever!! Only the Mystic has Realized God/Immortality because the Mystic knows where not to look! Religion, Philosophy, and Science seek God/Spirit in the Material World of Illusion through the faculty responsible for it, the human mind, hoping for a glimpse of Truth/God where no Truth/God of any kind Exists. The Mystic(of my Household, aka my Consciousness)knows God is the Realization of Infinite, Incorporeal Omnipresence(Spirit) that is the True Essence of Being. The Mystic Discerns the Reality of Spirit through the Unreality of Matter. The Mystic knows Our True and Only State of Being is Incorporeal, Infinite, and Omnipresent. The Mystic sees only the Spirit of Immortality through the Sense of Form/Matter of all beings. The Mystic knows that if it is happening in Time and Space it is Not Taking Place. The Mystic allows Infinite Perfection to be his Thought through Conscious Awareness of Spirit as the Only Presence!! Therefore, the Mystic reaches not for God or Truth, the Mystic Rests in the Realization of it!! This releases him from the reliance upon that which is ERRONEOUS, the 5 Senses!! We don't Transcend, We Realize!! The Mystic allows Infinite Perfection to be his Thought through Conscious Awareness of Spirit as the Only Presence!! The Mystic doesn't accept Love as a Sensual Emotion. The Mystic Knows Love is a State of Spiritual Integrity! The Mystic belongs to no religion, no human belief structure, and never to the mortal world of man with breath in his nostrils. The Mystic Says: I am not in this world to acquire or achieve anything: I am here as an instrument of God/Spirit to bear witness to Spirit/God's presence. I have appeared for one reason, that God/Spirit, through me, may be made manifest on Earth. I have appeared for the Glory of God/Spirit, not for my personal glory, not for my personal reputation or my personal wealth, but appear that Spirit/God might be Glorified as His Love shown forth through me! Prace Be Unto You!!

​@@Moist._Robot Our confidence in God comes from logical thinking as much as from science. World is full of evidence for Intelligent Design. In the courts of law, indicium is used as evidence. The existence of God is demonstrated all the time around us by indicia. Atheist claim that a lack of belief in God's existence stems from the lack of evidence or empirical proof. But atheists do not understand what means “evidence”. Evidence is an outward sign. Indication means evidence. Since logically thinking people see indicia for God, we have the evidence for God existing. If atheists are not able to see the indicia for God, it’s rather their problem. Atheists neither do know what means “empirical”. Empirical means originating in or based on observation or experience. Since logically thinking people observe and experience God’s work, God does exist. If atheists are not able to observe and experience God’s work, it’s their problem. For any logical mind the evidence of God is compelling. "A scientific fact is the result of a repeatable careful observation or measurement by experimentation or other means, also called EMPIRICAL evidence." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fact#In_science Question: How many times has (macro) evolution been repeatedly observed or experimentally measured, getting positive empirical evidence?

Biblical truth says the Earth is flat, but never once says anything about its age. Yet Ken ham denies the Earth being flat. Genesis and Job outright say the Earth is a disc with a crystal dome that sits on top pillars. The bible says the sun and moon are the same size, and both are smaller than the earth. It says that outright, directly. NEVER once says the Earths age. But ken hambone denies the age of the earth but says the earth is round 😂.

"Where there is evidence, no one speaks of "faith". We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for evidence." -- Bertrand Russell

Maybe no one speaks of faith, but it's still there. Faith and evidence are not opposed or exclusive of each other. They work hand in hand. Every scientist uses faith. In fact, every human being uses faith every day. Faith is part of everyone's experience and not something to shy away from or ridicule. To do so or to try to diminish the use of faith is foolishness.

[@adamr8628]

@peterjones6507 I hear what you're saying when you say faith is unnecessary when the truth is known. But there is more to faith than just trust in the unknown. Faith is also the confidence and trust we have in the known. That is why every person on earth uses faith every day. We still have to trust the known too. If a person has been faithful to us 1000 times, we trust them to show up or be there again. The repeat becomes evidence and we KNOW by faith. Every time we sit in a chair we put faith in a chair. Each time we drive we put faith in other drivers, even total strangers that we put faith in without knowing them. But we have confidence because it's always been safe with other drivers. Nothing in life is completely known either. We just trust the evidence by faith. Every scientist trusts evidence by faith and uses faith to conduct more experiments.

Yet even with our human ability to do these things go awfully wrong most of the time everywhere. Yet we are supposed to believe that by accident, with no planning, plants came into existence and produced oxygen so that animals could come into existence and produce CO2 and hydrogen and oxygen in the right combination would just appear so that water formed for both plants and animals to live together and make it possible for every other animal to develop because that's what happens when you have enough time.

[@Israphel776]

This video is really weird. And I don't really mean this in a good way. You start off the video declaring that you want to teach people to think logically. I wholeheartedly agree with this and wish more people thought in a logical manner. However, you tack on the qualifier "as a Christian" which makes absolutely no sense to me. The idea of logic is agnostic to beliefs. It's agnostic to just about everything. Whether you're Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, gay, a drug dealer, or a subway hobo, logic should operate the same. I assume you're trying to say "think in a way that logically supports your Christianity" which is inherently applying bias. So, already not off to a good start. You then continue the video by making an argument about origins. As someone who's been around a fair amount of apologists, I can already see this is going towards the "evolution doesn't explain the origin of life" route which is concerning. Ken, evolution is the theory of the diversity of life, not the origin of life. If you want a theory for the origin of life, you don't look at the theory of gravity and declare it false. You're making the classic mistake that a lot of other people make. I'm not even sure how you can make this mistake and claim to have been a teacher. Or educated, for that matter. Speaking of logic, you immediately rush in to quoting scripture. Your language during this segment is really odd because you keep using a particular word: "claim". You have a God that "claims" to know everything. You have a book that "claims" to be the word of God. I can accept these as claims but... those have to be proven, Ken. I will grant you that you do have a book that claims to know everything and that it does claim to be the word of God. Now, you have to prove that claim. I know you won't and I know you can't but the language you use betrays your intent. After this, you go off to explain the basic beats of cosmology in a rather sarcastic manner. The crowd laughs and you say "you know they weren't there". What is this proving? That humans have a, relatively, short and finite lifespan? This is rather obvious. Is your point that we can't know anything to be true unless we've seen it with our own eyes? By this logic, which is hilarious, you can't possibly know that Adam and Eve existed, the entire planet was flooded, God sent plagues to Egypt, Jesus was the son of God and died for our sins, or anything else claimed in the bible. After all, "you know you weren't there" so you're just trusting that the book that makes all these claims is true. You don't know. You see why this is a bad argument? Likewise, of course no one was there for the formation of Earth. However, things that happen typically leave evidence of the event. Earlier, you mentioned a Sherlock Holmes movie you were watching. Was Sherlock there to witness the murder and every detail of it? No, however, he was able to piece together the events of the murder, and who carried it out, by the evidence that was left behind as a result of the actions being carried out. To put this in simpler terms: If I smack the hood of your car and leave a hand imprint in it, regardless of whether you were there to see it or not, you can logically conclude that someone smacked the hood of your car by the evidence that was left behind. This isn't a novel concept. Five minutes into the video and, ironically, five paragraphs later, you make the claim that "no one can explain how [life forming] happened". I'm not sure if you think everyone watching you is a complete fucking idiot but there's this term that's commonly thrown around called "abiogenesis". Abiogenesis is, as far as I'm aware, the leading theory on the origin of life. You see how we have two separate terms and theories for the origin and diversity of life? This was one of my earlier points but I don't know why you're effectively going to a coffee shop to order a Big Mac. You're looking in the wrong place for what you want but instead of having a shred of self awareness and realizing you were wrong, you blame the coffee shop for not selling a Big Mac. Regardless of that mild tangent, abiogenesis is, as far as science has been able to explain it, explained. Your inability to understand, or find, the information is not a science problem. It's a *you* problem. We're not even at the six minute mark but you mentioned Darwin and made the statement "dogs change - they change into dogs". Honestly, yea - you're right. However, have you noticed that there are... different kinds of dogs? In the slides you showed, you showed about a handful different kinds of dogs. This shows that the theory of evolution is right. I have a Shihtzu sleeping behind me. You know God didn't create Shihtzus 6000 years ago, right? They have no ability to survive in the wild by themselves because they were specifically bred to be companion dogs. We artificially selected them out of other breeds of dogs. This shows that life is diverse and can change. Additionally, you seem to have no sense of scale. Shihtzus in the current form aren't an exact 1:1 replica of what they were when they were originally bred. While we still regard this specific breed as Shithzu, they've *changed* over time. Show my dog to an ancient daimyo or shogun and they wouldn't know what the hell they were looking at. Likewise, fast forward a few thousand years into the future and what will they look like then?

[@denvan3143]

@@LordMathious“what is it exactly about evolution you don’t understand?” I understand the idea behind evolution. What I don’t understand is why evolutionist persist in believing in evolution when the evidence, for it has never been found; 160 years of phi he does not support Darwin‘s idea of evolution, 60 years of genetic science does not support Darwin‘s idea. I understand natural selection; it is a process of elimination, where, by way of environmental conditions, certain traits contribute to the survival of a life form. However, as it is a process of elimination, some traits are also lost which may not be survival factors in the current environment, but with changing climate might well have been, i.e., a species survives through an ice age, but has lost through natural selection survival traits that would’ve helped it in a much hotter, dryer, climate. The fossil evidence supports this: the fossil record shows the extinction of more than 90% of all kinds of creatures that ever lived. Natural selection gradually eliminated, viable, survival traits. Natural selection from genetic variation is not viable explanation. I understand the idea, but genetic variation is simply genetic mutation in which biological instructions in the DNA molecule is either lost or becomes garbled and unusable. I understand the idea that small mutations and copying errors could accumulate to phenotypically traits that would be advantageous in survival, but this is not born out in the fossil record; as Darwin called for transitional, fossil forms, stretching over eons of time no such have ever been found. There is no fossil evidence of one kind of life form evolving from another, therefore, no origin of species as Darwin calls for. In addition to the fossil record, not supporting evolution in that there is no record of in numerable transitional forms between one kind of life form and another, so also genetic science does not support evolution. It has been found at the human genome is the king at a rate between 1% and 2% per generation, and the human race by some estimations may be extinct in 6000 years. This is evolution, this is de-evolution, again, supported by the fossil evidence: lifeforms become unviable, and no longer reproduce. I do understand evolution: not being science it is a belief system. I have been told by evolutionist quote, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” There is no evidence for evolution, extraordinary, or otherwise. I’m told by evolutionist “lack of evidence is not an evidence of absence.” But an absence of evidence is in fact, not evidence: evolution is, therefore, a matter of philosophy, at a belief system, at worst a cult, which is cling to with a zit tree that produces two effects: (1) believe in evolution without question (2) ridicule of those who do not accept everything they are all about evolution without question. You need to look no further than comments in this thread and support of that observation. “Science is the culture of doubt.” - Richard Feinman. Evolution, not being science, evokes questions like “what exactly is it about evolution you don’t understand” with no self reflection.

[@jounisuninen]

​@@user-vt3vo1yd3v I've answered before but since you ask twice I answer again, a bit more briefly. Your first to-do: - The evolutionary theory has never made any verified succesfull prediction. So you saved your $1,000. Only scientific theories can be falsified as Karl Popper states. Evolution theory can't be falsified because no evolutionist can tell what is the correct version of evolution. If we refer to Darwin's theory, evolutionists argue that Darwin's theory is not in use anymore. The original Darwinian evolution (All life stem from a Universal Common Ancestor) has become a chameleon -theory. When science proves that mutations produce decay but not evolution, Darwinists give evolution new definitions like: ”Nobody has claimed that evolution always means positive change”. However, Darwin's book ”Origin of Species” claims the opposite! The Neo-Darwinian loosely determined evolution explains even the contradictory phenomena like "fossils and missing fossils both prove evolution”, "positive and negative changes both prove evolution”, "genetically devolving subspecies prove evolution”, so-called living fossils "prove evolution". Evolution is "slow and gradual" but it can also be "quick and advance by saltations". Evolution causes mind blowing changes or keeps everything static for millions of years. Evolution is random except when it advances towards a goal. Acquired qualities can not be inherited except when they do get inherited. So anything proves evolution! But if you start falsifying, evolutionists say "No no, that's not the correct theory - you don't know what evolution means ..." That's why evolution can not be falsified and can't be called a scientific theory. Your second to-do: " Provide one FALSIFIABLE prediction made by creationism that has not already been proven false." One of the falsifiable creationist predictions is the DNA construction. "An intelligent code can only come from an intelligent mind" is a compelling, proven and logical fact supporting creationism and telling of Intelligent Design. It successfully predicted the essence of DNA being planned and not random, just like scientific studies later revealed. In a purely mathematical analysis DNA can only be created in a rigorously guided process. Random mutations can't do the job because accumulating mutations quickly degrade the structural and thermodynamic stability and function of protein folds. The stable tertiary structure of DNA is lost before the mutations could generate a novel protein fold. Time is the enemy of random constructing because each error creates more errors. The more time goes, the smaller is the chance to get a functioning DNA. No more than 3-15 mutational trials and errors are enough to destroy a DNA section while different possibilities for error are counted in millions. A successful random evolutionary process is mathematically impossible. Even if we thought that some kind of a random unguided DNA would appear against all mathematical realities, it would not be functional. Why? Because DNA has no brains. Somebody outside DNA must plan its order and define its purpose. This creationist prediction and its authentication can be easily falsified by an empirical research where DNA is generated in laboratory through a random unguided process.

You would turn so many atheists into believers if you said God created the physics of evolution instead of denying it altogether. I have never really believed in God because it sounds like a children's story to help them become good people, but when I became an adult I was able to construct my own moral framework to be a good person. I took a plant taxonomy and bacteria class. Taxonomy describes how plants evolved based on past plants and you can match how plants evolved with changing environments. Bacteria can produce evolution in real time that you can observe.

[@lightfriend09]

Hi @stoner4311, I know this is kind of an old comment, but I think the issue for most Christians, not that I can speak for everyone, is not a denial of the evolution we can verify (evolution within a species, like Darwin's finches) but the evolution we can't see (from one kind to a completely different kind, like ape to man). The best explanation I've gotten for it is, well if you give it enough time, it could happen. You might have a better example that I'm not aware of. What evidence do you think is the strongest as proof of evolution from one kind to another? On a different note, if God did create the universe through the process of evolution (I've heard the theory that each "day" of creation was actually 1,000 years because of the verse that says 1,000 years is like a day to God, so some do people believe that God used evolution to create the world, I personally do not). I'm a bit perplexed by that actually. I understand that people who do not believe in God would believe in macro-evolution and the Big Bang theory as their best explanation for how the world and the universe came to be. But if you believe God is who He says He is, the Creator, the Author of life, the Alpha (beginning) and the Omega (the end), why would you view him as so limited and powerless that it takes him billions of years to create anything? Is he constrained by the laws of physics that He himself wrote? Is he a man that he is bound by time and has to wait for the slow processes of change and only has enough influence to make a few nudges here and there within an evolutionary process? This may not be your stance, though. Do you personally believe that God used evolution to create the universe, or do you not particularly believe in God at all and just think that Christians should believe that God used evolution to create the universe? I might not be understanding you correctly. Also, if you read through this whole essay, thanks for taking the time and I hope you have a good day!

[@lightfriend09]

Also, I'd like to challenge you on two statements. One, that the Bible was written by people ignorant of the world and just trying to make people be good. If the Bible was written by ignorant men, how would they know things about the world and the universe that they had no way of knowing, unless God revealed it to them? How did Job know that the earth hangs in space, "He hangs the earth over nothing" (Job 26:7) or that there were springs on the ocean floor (Job 38:16)? He certainly didn't have a space ship, satelite or a submarine. Also along those lines, the oceanographer Matthew Maury discovered the ocean's currents and their paths because of Psalm 8:8. He basically said, "If God said there were paths in the sea, I will find them." And he did. A lot of the Levitical laws on cleanliness and food consumption prevented the spread of disease. Leviticus 15:13 and washing under running water. We didn't even know until the 1800s that doctors need to wash their hand in between patients to prevent the spread of disease (Ignaz Semmelweis and Oliver Wendell Holmes). Or that eating pork is terrible for you, with inflammation etc. Another verse mentions that the "life of the flesh is in the blood". It used to be common practice for blood letting to treat maladies, but now we know that it's actually blood transfusions that saves lives and that blood tests can tell us about the health of our body, because, "the life of the flesh/body is in the blood."

In the course of a suspiciously amateurish interview, they issued a truculent challenge to me to ‘give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which can be seen to increase the information in the genome’. It is the kind of question only a creationist would ask in that way, and it was the point I tumbled to the fact that I had been duped into granting an interview to creationists - a thing I normally don’t do, for good reasons. In my anger I refused to discuss the question further, and told them to stop the camera. However, I eventually withdrew my peremptory termination of the interview, because they pleaded with me that they had come all the way from Australia specifically to interview me. Even if this was a considerable exaggeration, it seemed, on reflection, ungenerous to tear up the legal release form and throw them out. I therefore relented. My generosity was rewarded in a fashion that anyone familiar with fundamentalist tactics might have predicted. When I eventually saw the film a year later, I found that it had been edited to give the false impression that I was incapable of answering the question about information content.

This is based almost entirely on writings like the gospels, Josephus and to a lesser extent Tacitus, but all of these sources were from writers born after Jesus' supposed death, so there's no writings from anyone who actually knew this Jesus. Unfortunately there is not a single shred of archaeological evidence for the existence of Jesus, but that is also true for many historical figures. The closest archaeological evidence we have is that the Romans likely did perform crucifixions and it's likely that this Jesus person was crucified. Interestingly, this is not the same as the evidence for the books of Genesis and Exodus where there's not only a lack of archaeological evidence, but we actually have evidence from archaeology, biology, geology, astronomy, paleontology, zoology, virology (and indeed every field of science) that effectively proves a literal interpretation of Genesis and Exodus never happened beyond all reasonable doubt.

In a time when the godlessness of the world is ever-increasing, it is more important than ever to heed the word of God. The word of God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105). It is a sure foundation that we can build our lives upon (2 Timothy 3:16). When we neglect the word of God, we are neglecting the very thing that has the power to change our lives. The word of God has the power to convict us of sin, to teach us truth, and to lead us in righteousness (Psalm 119:9-11). It is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12), able to convict us of sin and dispel our self deception.

Evolution is dismantled by the fossil record. An example of this is T Rex. Found in both America and Asia there have been over 100 dinosaurs found. However, for some reason, the complete and final form of t rex is the only fossil we find. All intermediate forms seem to be non-existent and suddenly a completely evolved t rex comes on the scene and is fossilized. If evolution were true, there should be no problem seeing every minute change in a species in the fossil record. Instead of finding 100 of the same dinosaurs in different continents we should be finding 100 different breeds of t rex as they were evolving with noticeable differences demonstrating the slow process of evolution.

1:12 "leaves a non-christian not having an answer" NO The Bible says "be quick to listen, slow to speak". Following Christ is not about proving chosen assertions and arguing down other views. It's about sharing your life with others for their benefit. Did Jesus say, "They will know you are my disciples by your apologetics?" A better way is to share to learn from each other, being humble to change your mind if you've been proved wrong. Edit: and no, having fine-sounding arguments that contradict known fact will not make people "listen" to your interpretation of the Bible, it will make you and your God sound foolish.
