(III) My friend "Syorks" and i had a debut about if God used Evolution to create the humanity or not. We both believe in God. Syorks believes to what the bible says in full trust, and i believe that the bible is a book that had been written by many authors in different times and there are some mistakes (It had been written by humen...so of course there are some mistakes...).Some authors didn'twrote reallywhat happened, they wrote what they think that happened or even sometime they invent things (because of the fact they didn't know what really happened).... For example in the first Chapter of the Book of Genesis it says that god create the man and the woman at the same time but in the next chapter it says God create first the man and THEN the woman and that mean that there are more than one author and they not having the same opinion. Syorks believes to everything from the bible but i believe that we were created from the monkey before 3 million years (and BTW i'm a Jew...lol)

So we decided to take our debut to this forum. so are you with me or with Syorks?

It seems to me that every few months you have an argument with your friend "Syorks" about evolution, which magically spills over to the OT forum.

Yay, but Im not one of those dumbs who belive that monkeys will evolve in humans its obvious that the kinship is because a common origin that splited in other lines and every line evolved indepently of the others keeping some traits

When it comes to genetics and bio-diversity, the Bible is a poor source go to by. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll say the plan God set in motion for life is much more complex than people living 2000 years ago could have comprehend.

That's a terrible reason to not believe in evolution. I mean, that's kind of saying that you're just completely passive ideologically, accepting whatever theories you feel your self-given label should have. That's like voting for Kerry because you're a Democrat.

I believe all things change.

For the better or worse, drastic or slight...

That's up to interpretation.

You can't believe in the bible in full, it contradicts itself e.g.How did Judas die? "And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and hanged himself." (Matt. 27:5) "And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed out." (Acts 1:18 ) Funny that, I didn't knoe that bowels could gush out by hanging yourself... unless that is your 'belief' too.

You mean has not been proven to exist? If so, you've got it spot on there.

'And then the Lord said onto the people, "this shmuck Darwin will try to trick you into thinking that I didn't create the universe even though he obviously never claimed that and evolution doesn't propose that at all." And there was peace throughout the world, except on OT'--Genesis 1:14.

I'm by no means backing up the Bible here...

But when you die, your bowls release, and you p*** and s*** yourself...

Which is probably what they mean in that second verse.

When did the Bible say that the person was Judas Iscariot? We don't know for sure if the Bible is talking about the same Judas or two different people. The Bible does not contradict itself. I need to go for now but I will come back to this discussion.

Good point Lord_Mordain... I shall, however, soldier on, and venture to say that it's hard to burst asunder when you're hanging from a rope.

The bible does not contradict itself is a bold statement... especially as it does. Quite a lot in fact. Both quotations in fact referred to Judas there... http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jim_meritt/bible-contradictions.html

I believe evolution might have happened and is part of certain species. But I don't think the human species takes a big part of that. I am just not sure about evolution.

Well, one easy off the top of my head contradiction is that it is stated, not sure where.... But I'm pretty sure it's in there, lol.....

That our God is a jealous God... But jealousy is a sin according to the ten commandments.

...found it.

(Exodus 20:4-5) You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealousGod"

Oh right, I was worried there! I mean, it's not often that you come across someone that can just flick through and find their quotation in about twenty seconds... I've never studied the bible though, I've just read a couple of sites that give out the contradictions... I hope I do some time though, just to be a bit better informed. can't now though, I have no time. And no bible. What's their RRP?

Evolution has been observed and is as incontrovertible as it gets in biology; I think what you mean to ask is "Do you believe in evolution as the mechanism for the origin of the species?"

People, you should probably check this link out:

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25544111

It shows a previous topic with almost the same title/OP (also note the 'II' in the title, there was an even earlier one, only it was probably deleted since it was so old). Hiddai is merely trying to make some huge thread, there isn't actually a debate.
