Please see Message 2 for the focal question of this topic. It seems quite possible that this thread's originator is actually just plugging his own website and won't be sticking around for any dialogue. --Admin
Hello everyone.
I would like to say hello as I am a new member here.
There is a flaw of logic that is really hard to get around when it comes to believing in evolution. When it comes to our world, or to the universe, whether you believe in the Big Bang theory, a theory that things just always existed, or any other theory that excludes creation, you have to be able to reason that there is a design without a designer and a plan without a planner. I can understand that it could be hard for some to fathom the idea of a God that always was; however, when you consider it, it is even harder to fathom the idea that this God who always was, never was. Am I making any sense? Seriously, it's no different to believe that a piece of art, like a painting, had no artist, or a convenient bridge over a river had no builder. I know I sound like a very simple person, but a complex world existing without a Creator is too simple of an answer.
Is it not true, if one was to be honest with self, that trying to reason with evolution is really a person's awkward way of trying to understand how a God could allow so much evil in the world. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not arrogantly telling people why they reason as they do, as only the an individual has the right to do this. I'm just sincerely asking a question. Is it possible that a person who tries to prove evolution is actually struggling with spiritual issues?
Either way, there is an old newspaper article "Evolution vs Creation" that can be found in this website that is interesting. Welcome to LarryJones.ca - Larry Jones It should be challenging to the evolutionist believer. It's just a site of articles that might be of interest for the Christian and the Non Christian.
