Comments about ‘Gallup poll: 46% of Americans believe in creationism’

Put mem down for Theistic evolution.

Rockets and Airplanes seem to defy the law of gravity like magic
Doctor's seem to cure dieases as if by magic -
but it's just that mankind has learned a new and different set of laws or rules.

No laws have been broken, bent or surpassed.
It just looks like magic or supernatural powers to the ignorant.

Same with God.
He/She just happens to know all the laws.
So it seems spectacual to the rest of us.

RE: LDS liberal

Two things.

1. God is all powerful and omnicinet, he capable of the amazig miracles ans wonders recorder in sciture.

2. God is perfect.

So why would he choose to use an imperfect method is he not perfect? (assuming it even works, which is still unproven which solely based on probability and imagined possiblity and assumption and not on actual fact or knowledge of what happened)

Why would he not use his magnificent powers, abilities and knowledge to directly create or and use a perfect way for creation?

Is he not capable of direct creation. Is he not God?

He can heal the sick and diseased and lame, raise the dead, create fishes and loaves out seeemingly nothing, control nature, walk on water, etc,

but not capable of directly creating man, a very intentional creation and the animals for for man's use?

Even man does not need to "evolve" thier children.

What would a Perfect, all powrful all knowing God need of evolution. He would not.

To claim he would is rationalization for a belief in silly monkey stories, for a belief in that which is just bad science and more like science fantasy.

@The Truth
How would even begin to guess what YOU would think a perfect GOD would do? Your statement is so arrogant and presumptuous I don't even know where to begin.
Why wouldn't God use evolution as a tool? Why would we guess at all what GOD thinks? It would be like a Dog trying to understand a History lesson. Bark Bark!

@the truth
"Is he not capable of direct creation."

That's not the right question. Theistic evolution believers aren't saying God CAN'T, we're just saying God DIDN'T, and the fossil record clearly shows the evolutionary chain humans followed especially since humans reach back much more than 6000 years.

Besides, your church is neutral on the matter so it's interesting that you press the point.

@ the truth: God, as the creator of laws and rules, is bound by those same laws and rules.

Yes - He could make water flow upwards and he could make the world flat.

But He doesn't. If He expects us to follow his laws, He must follow them also.

God followed very specific steps in the creation of the world. Why would you assume he would not also follow those steps in the creation of man?

Precept upon precept, line upon line don't apply just to learning and understand God.

Alternative heading for the story: 54% of Americans believe in evolution.

RE: atl134

There is no such fossil record.

While one may find fossils of an earlier state of earth, evolutinary science uses imaginary evolution trees, and SUPPOSED relationships to modern animals and man to create a false theory..

There is no scinetific evidence that any of it is related to us or modern animals,

There is no factual or scientific proof just the desire to believe in ridiculous monkey stories all based on a foundation of supposings, assumptions, may haves, could haves, might haves, can possibly haves,

The fact is you must believe in fairy tales if you want believe in evolution.

IF you belive in the God of the bible then you must belive in his words when he commanded all life of this current state of earth to reproduce after their own kind,

doesn't sound like evolution to me.

And God created man after his (or thier) own likeness,

again not evolution.

All the clues are there, there is no need to reconcile biblical belief with the false notion of evolution.

God the perfect and superior engineer and designer did not use an inferior and imperfect method.

What happend before God "created" (reorganized) is impertinent.

I, too, would be in the Theistic evolution camp.

What is now considered technology now would have been considered magic in the 12th century.

Think of God as DaVinci, Edison, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, & Einstein all rolled into one then taken to the infinite power. What He comprehends our "primitive" minds have no choice but to label it miraculous.

I'm confused. Does this mean the Flintstones were a biography/documentary?
