Gasp…no way! I was just reading Case for Faith and Dr. Zacharias was the last interview I read. He is a wonderful apologist and truly a man after God’s very heart.

I love it, I saw “Expelled” and this is along the same line of thought as the movie! Very intelligent argument. I find it amazing that Darwinian evolutionists want us to believe that we are the result of monkeys evolving into mankind. This faulty teaching gets hammered into our poor children who then act just like what they are called animals! They are disrespectful, loud, obnoxious, shoot each other and fight each other just like animals in the wild. I find it even more amazing that after a school shooting the Anti-God school systems will then call in grief counselors… Just what (pray tell) do you tell the little monkeys? Gee little Tommy, your friend is now in a better place… I mean oops, (uhm too religious), Well you see Tommy, little Timmy is now fertilizer and is now part of the circle of life…..and mother earth is hugging him with her big soil arms!
PULEEZE!!!!! We need more Thinker’s like Ravi Zacharias!!

Brilliant clip, bro! I used to find it hard to debate with people who had no concept of God - Dr. Zacharias was one of the folks who helped me get straightened out in that field.

Nobody wants you to believe that. Nobody who knows anything about evolution will claim that monkeys evolved into humans. Humans and ‘monkeys’ have a shared ancestor. It means that we both came from something else a long time ago, not that monkeys spontaneously started giving birth to humans one day.
I would have thought that a movie like ‘Expelled’ would at least inform its viewers on the very basic tenets of evolutionary theory, but apparently not.

Sadly, most people are ignorant of the fact that evolution is no longer a considered theory in science today. There are more non-Christian scientists than Christian ones who have shot incurable holes in the Darwinist theory. When it comes down to facts, people who believe that life emerged naturalistically require more faith than people who believe in Intelligent Design. But I’m sure Daniel did not post this to get in the age old Inherit the Wind debate so let’s not.

Evolution is a very tricky word. Ravi here is clearly addressing Atheistic Evolution. I am very open to believe some evolutionary theories which allow for a Creator God although i don’t know enough about this matter to take a stand. It also depends on how literal you would interpret the creation story in Genesis…another thing im still unsure of.

Who told you this?

First, let me say that I am in no way a force to begin a debate with…I’ll horribly represent Christ. But, from what I’ve read in recent months, great thinkers of no faith, such as Adam Sedgwick, have raised non-religious objections to evolution. Besides, though correct me if I’m wrong, evolution cannot be a theory for the origin of life because it offers no origin in the first place. And really, if I may ask, if I am wrong with what I said earlier, why hasn’t evolution been stamped as law?
June 4, 2008 at
A few things…
Firstly, scientific theories are not ’stamped as law’, either in the scientific or legal sense. A scientific ‘law’ is something like the law of conservation of energy - an analytical principle, not an explanatory theory. Saying that something ‘isn’t a law’ isn’t a criticism, nor does it mean that the theory is weak or unsupported.
I’m not sure which ‘Adam Sedgewick’ you’re talking about, but the only major one I can find any information on died in 1873. If he raised any objections to evolution, they sure didn’t hold.
And no, evolution is not a theory explaining the origin of life - it was never intended to be and should never be used to explain where life actually came from, only how life diversified.
If you pick up any popular science magazine - Focus, Scientific American, that kind of thing - I can guarantee you that you’ll find at least a few articles about current research and discoveries in evolutionary biology. If evolution really has been discarded by modern science, there are an awful lot of researchers out there who didn’t get the memo.

Yeah, definitely never picked up any of those magazine’s, and really, thanks for taking the time out to show me some really good explanations. I didn’t mean law actually, I meant more of why the theory isn’t universally agreed upon if it has such amazing evidence to back it up. Like Daniel said, obviously there is a place for evolution, but only evolution caused by the hand of a divine Creator.

Well, I’d disagree with you on that point, but I have a feeling that endless back and forth wouldn’t do either of us any good

My mother always says it and I believe it. How can you look at a flower and deny the existence of God? Or why is that our sun is exactly where it needs to be in order to support life here? I do not believe in coincidences, and by the way neither does science. More and more scientists are concluding that there is not only a basis for the theory of a Creator, but that evolution is not as concrete as it used to be. I am an Evangelical Christian and I take the words in the Bible seriously. Although some may be symbolic in nature, to be sure, they are also historically and chronologically accurate. People say that men wrote the Bible and even the Bible itself does not deny that fact. But the Bible was written by people who were inspired by God.
This is the pure and simple facts my friends:
The spiritual principles outlined in the Bible offend people’s ideas of self-righteousness. In other words, if you want to do things that are considered sinful, then you probably will not be studying the bible because it does not justify your sinful nature. You also must take responsibility for your actions and the Bible asks that you respect, even love, your neighbors (that includes your enemies). Most people run from the teachings in the Bible screaming because they can’t handle it. Most people do not like to conform if they must deny their creature comforts.
The Good News is that this flesh is passing away as evidenced by death itself. And if you have faith and believe that Our Lord Jesus Christ shed his blood for the redemption of your sins and mine, and you confess yourself to be a sinner and ask to be forgiven, then ask Our Lord Jesus Christ to be your personal Lord and Savior and come into your heart, the Holy Spirit will enter you and convict you and you will have everlasting life when this existence is over. I would rather be safe than sorry.

I forgot to add that the alternative is hell which by the Bible’s defines as a pit of fire where you will be burned and tortured for all eternity. I rest my case.

Wow. Scientific inaccuracy, empty rhetoric and scare tactics! You’ve got the ‘Religion 3′ pretty well represented in those two posts.
