The Bible teaches that if a person cannot deduce from what is made that a Creator made it then the reason they cannot is because they are suffering the wrath of God. God's invisible attributes were intentionally incorporated into the universe - He left His fingerprints all over what is made. Those unable to recognize this fact are blinded by God as His response to being rejected as the Creator. Simply said evolution is the creation of brilliant people who have been rejected by God for rejecting Him. The intelligent design of the universe is obvious to persons who possess honesty and a spititual reciever. Reject God and your insight is removed.

Firstoff, welcome to EvC, Willowtree. I hope that you stick around and take part in the forums. A warning though - expect some agreement, and some dissent, but don't expect an easy ride - people here like to debate (myself included)! Keep a thick skin.

Ancient people could not deduce what caused lightning. Ancient people could not deduce what caused fire. Ancient people could not deduce what caused the sun, moon, and stars to move. Ancient people couldn't deduce a log of things. But it wasn't God who was doing all of those things.
Science is about stating, "I don't know why this happens; I'm going to test until I can figure it out." In the middle ages, belief that the un-deducable was due to the wrath of god led to the bubonic plague. In modern times, we use antibiotics and quarantines. Which is the better choice?

Ah. So, tell me, what fingerprints did he leave Xylocaris maculipennis? Or Cymothoa exigua? How about Vandellia cirrhosa? Or any of this?

And God creates people that He knows their fate for... what purpose? Only to make them suffer for eternity?

Actually, initially, everyone was creationist. When the fossil record didn't match up, they tried to adapt the theory of creation - and made it be "multiple creations", with each one being wiped out after the old one. Eventually, as more and more was done in archaeology and more and more gradual transitions were uncovered, they were eventually forced to accept evolution. It's been the basis of biology and modern medicine ever since.

It's easy to claim that other people are just "blinded" and that you're correct without evidence, isn't it?

Ah that must be my problem...I have the honesty part down but I only have an old Kenwood reciever and it keeps telling me that intelligent design is only obvious to people who wish to delude themselves...it also sometimes plays Fleetwood Mac.
