*This is a post for creationists. if your not one you'll probobly want to leave now.*
I hope to reach out to all the Christians on this forum. God has inspired me to write this and to reach out to the creationists and spread this message.
I will never fight against the evolutionist's, as it is foolish to do so. Our mission as Christians is to spread the good news to all the people of the world, and that includes the evolutionists, but when we fight the evolutionists it never goes the right way. No matter what you say, an evolutionist will never defend a young earth or spontanious creation. Not even I believe in such things. However, it is not hard to believe a God influenced a natural creation process. I have heard many times from evolutionists that they would accept this with no proof of the contrary.
By preaching a young earth and creationism you are destroying the credibility of all christians. Is it not the main point of christianity to gain believers. How can they believe with you all ruining our good name. Who cares what they believe, its not even a bad belief at that. Science and Religion should never conflict. If you don't believe in evolution, THATS FINE, believe what you want, but when you go telling people you lose credibility and any possibility of ever missioning to that person again. Do you really believe you can put such a label on christianity and not be treated by the scientific community as insane?
If they believe in evolution who does it hurt? No one, ITS SCIENCE! not witchcraft. and realisticly fighting it only makes it worse. IF evolution is untrue then eventually it will be proven false. same for things such as dating. but to debate against science with religion is ludicrus. Let Science debate against Science, and Philosophy against Philosophy.
As Christians you should be focused on more important things, like spreading the word, and the more you do this the harder that will become and thats all that matters.
Don't get me wrong, you can't deny that you are a christian, just learn from christianity's mistakes throughout history when dealing with science (flat earth, geocentrism). whenever we go against science we end up losing both the battle and the war, we loose the fight and all our credability.
What do I suggest. First stop debating against evolutionists. pick a side and then discuss it with others on your side. Don't try to fight science with religion because trust me it is much easyer to fight religion with science. If you leave it alone it will work itself out. if you don't any credibility you had will be shattered and all christians will recieve a bad name. If christians have a bad name no one will want to become a christian and also people will leave christianity. If it doesn't hurt anything to believe in evolution let it be.
Second, I suggest not simply ignoring evolution but adopting theistic evolution (a mixture of creation and evolution). Religion should never contradict science as that would imply God lied which is impossible so dont just ignore science try to blend it in with you faith. things make much more since that way and fit together very well. click
here to learn more. my site about it is
here but is still under construction.
Third, again, go out and spread the news. thats what matters.
I hope I've brought my point across in this matter. I really felt like I needed to get this off my chest. put this where ever you want. and being partially an evolutionist myself I will still stay with this forum.
