Atheists, do you distinguish between Evolutionist and Creationist Christians?

Virus passing genetic code/mutations = adaptation not Ev - impasse, 1 species 2 another. The Bible doesn't tell us the age of the universe/earth. Time as measured from earth wasnt set in motion until the 4th day of Creation (dont confuse this with the 7 day Creation periods).

So, God's Creation day periods could be anywhere from near zero 2 billions of yrs. If it was important 4 us 2 know God wouldve put it in the Bible (specifics were left out on purpose - so man could keep trying 2 guess/disprove how it came 2 be or realize God did it & w/o Him you cant know - Ecc 3:11). The specific action taken was with regard 2 Gods purpose.

Adam & Eve were real ppl (the 1rst chosen humans as the Bible hints others also existed). Whether the Bible meant the entire world or just the area Noah knew doesn't matter but what was done is important. Gen also says Pangaea was real.

Ev cant be proved (& OMITS essential element, intelligence = blind creation). Actual facts/speculation must be separated. Actual transition fossils don't exist (no matter whats claimed).

Either cells r incredible geniuses or Ev didn't happen but many'll do anything 2 keep God out of it. The crux of the problem is many (having limited knowledge) try 2 know what God did by imposing human limitations 4 understanding things 2 God's power/abilities. Only 1 God can occupy infinity & that God is the God of Israel (no other legit gods exist) - only fully provable because Jesus is the true Son of God.

Huge holes in Ev also call in2? The BB/abiogenesis (laws of probability says there'd hv 2 be a 95-99% failure rate 4 most changes = no Ev). Evidence 4 God/Jesus/Bible (& religion doesn't = the truth): Many scientific finds r true - doesn't mean "all" claims r true (many don't take time/energy 2 carefully think thru things b4 making a claim).

Many don't take in2 account all it takes 2 create a universe/life (they tend 2 focus on things "seeming" 2 support what they want 2/u 2 believe). In science we established laws of physics. We can't see laws of physics.

Rather, we see the results/interpret/apply them in accordance with whats observed 2 be true by experiments/calculations. Same is true 4 God - because we can't see God doesn't mean He doesn't exist. Theres evidence 4 some micro-adaptation/some appearance of macro-Ev but most is inconclusive @ best/pure conjecture @ worst.

Finding the beginning/reason 4 it all is unattainable by scientific method alone (billions of yrs old cold case). We didn't see it take place. Things in Creation show the universe/we wouldnt be here w/o an Intelligent Designer (ignoring how it came 2 b) such as: 1.

We hv 2 lungs/2 kidneys/2 eyes - each has a NEAR PERFECT MIRROR-IMAGE companion organ (not a copy). It CANT B explained away. Making a mirror-image organ takes FULL reverse engineering/knowledge/understanding of its companion's functions/purpose or it cant be created (2 WITNESSES in nature).

2. Our bodies r highly symmetrical from 1 side 2 the other - impossible unless 1 has an outside overview position allowing full knowledge of the entire organism (i.e. Feather color patterns).

3. We hv 2 arms/2 legs. Each is perfectly designed/precisely engineered 2 work with its mirror-image companion.

An outside position is required 2 fully comprehend the purpose/functions of the organism, 2 create it 2 such perfection. 4. The "being" of a cell is confined 2 within the cell membrane & cant know much beyond itself.

A cell is magnitudes more intelligent than all humanity & has amazing powers 2 know all of an organism's functions/purpose or it isnt the "brain" behind Creation 4 many millions of incredibly diverse species. If Ev had a chance of being the source of Creation only 2 or 3 "kinds" of basic bodies with some related species would exist (would take billions of trillions of yrs longer than the universe has existed 2 hv the slightest chance of producing many millions of incredibly diverse species). 5. Many cells of an organism never contact others much beyond its tiny cell.

Cells/organisms r just copies of their parents doing about the same things as all ancestors. U won't find a bird who builds a better nest than their parents & their chicks build even a better nest. U won't find a bear improving living conditions passed on 2 his young.

Either a cell has 2 lives - 1 copying its parents & 1 secret life working on improvements or some1 of higher intelligence than all mankind created it all. 6. Others point 2 DNA (RNA in the 1rst organisms).

But a cell needs DNA 2 function & DNA cant function w/o a cell. So, we hv a which came 1rst a cell or DNA problem. W/o 1rst having great intelligence/full knowledge/understanding of how an organism is constructed it cant be created.

If an ape finds a combination lock he wouldnt know what it was. Even if he turns the dial over & over again he wouldnt know what he was doing (chances against getting it right is astronomical - especially if it had 150 or more no. 2 find in the right order).

Even if he got that far he still wouldnt know what a lock is 4. A cell has little "intelligence" & DNA is way more complex than a combination lock (especially in higher life forms) so the odds against figuring out & using DNA (in the correct sequence) is many magnitudes higher than 4 a lock). RNA/DNA r building blocks common 2 all life - having 98% of other species' DNA doesn't prove Ev.

DNA like a computer code (but way more complex) requires great intelligence 2 identify & assign its proper order - its useless unless you understand it. Give a book 2 an ape. Its useless 2 him as he cant learn from whats written - intelligence is required.

This is the God-did-it hypothesis. We can't really prove anything because God could have made it that way. Thus no knowledge can ever be considered factual because God controls all of the facts.

ALL knowledge is subject to His supernatural manipulations and no science can be 100% sure of anything. However, if you accept this mindset you can be sure of one thing - if you truly believe in certain ancient scriptures (even though they have obviously been revised by many hands over the centuries), and follow all of their admonitions (and thus become “good”) you’ll never die but be rewarded for your goodness by living forever in paradise, and (here’s the “good” part) all of the “bad” guys will suffer for eternity because that’s what those creeps deserve. Creation belongs to the supernatural.

Yet ALL science (not just evolution) denies the supernatural. Why? Because there has never been a genuinely observed, scientifically repeated, or objectively reported supernatural event - ever.

Until there is, any reasonable, rational person should shun such beliefs. But we don't. Why?

Because we're the product of biological and cultural evolution, including the emergence of spiritual and magico-religious beliefs. We are neither reasonable nor rational organisms and no science or religion will ever keep us from destroying ourselves. There is no Biblical science just magical thinking and unquestioning belief.

Magical thinking/religion is a way of believing about things that we think are immutable; science is a way of asking questions about things we don’t know. Believe what you like, but understand that there are no rational reasons to embrace any magical belief system and if you really start pondering epistemology, you’ll probably end up being an atheist – be careful!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
