10 Questions for Evolutionists (Part 5)

As we study the Evolution theory...more and more questions arise!
WHY?!

Evolutionists vs. Creationists

Evolutionists: Answer ANY ONE of these 10 questions, and we may give you some respect for your THEORY of evolution:

1. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?

2. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?

3. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?

4. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)

5. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)

6. When, where, why, and how did
a. Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two and three-celled intermediates?)
b. Single-celled animals evolve?
c. Fish change to amphibians?
d. Amphibians change to reptiles?
e. Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) f. How did the intermediate forms live?

7. There are many thousands of examples of symbiosis that defy an evolutionary explanation. Why must we teach students that evolution is the only explanation for these relationships?

8. How did flowering plants evolve, and from what?

9. Do people accept evolution because of the following factors?
a. It is all they have been taught.
b. They like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes, etc.).
c. They are bound to support the theory for fear of losing their job or status or grade point average.
d. They are too proud to admit they are wrong.
e. Evolution is the only philosophy that can be used to justify their political agenda.

10. Is it possible that an unseen Creator designed this universe? If God is excluded at the beginning of the discussion by your definition of science, how could it be shown that He did create the universe if He did?

That was always the one thing that bothered me about studying Evolution in school - it doesn't explain the how. I used to be a biology major. In fact, I'll probably take countless more biology classes before I finish college. But I never realized how illogical Evolution is until I got more into Creationism.
Evolution does not make sence!!!
It doesn't give any credit to the complexity of life. There is no way humans could have been created from nothing. DNA is amazing, but not that amazing. Chance would not have produced the complexity that life is.

Evolution, by itself, is a theory of process.

Evolution and Creationism aren't necessarily exclusive of each other.

Evolution may very well be the method by which (a) divine creator(s) orchestrated this complex world.

We've already been over this. Obviously you haven't read too much into either evolution or creation.
Please go back and read our blog on "Did God use Evolution?" posted June 3.

***HOWEVER THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR EVOLUTION;
WITH CAREFULL STUDY: IF THE BIBLE IS CORRECT

Questions for Creationists:

Why would God, who is all-knowing, create human beings if he knew they would have the capacity to destroy the whole planet with atomic bombs and global warming?

Why would God, who is all merciful and forgiving, expect a human sacrifice to atone for the sins of mankind? Why would he expect that sacrifice to be his only son?

Why would God, who is a just God, nevertheless allow punishment for the sin of Adam to be carried out on the whole human race?

Why would God, the creator of everything, create natural phenomenon like lightning and hurricanes whose only results are destruction and chaos?

Why would God, who is all-good, create Satan and give Satan his own abode? Why would an all-knowing God allow him to have contact with human beings?

Anonymous-

Thanks for your questions and I like to take the time to answer your questions as thoroughly as possible. There are answers to these questions, UNLIKE THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE ASKED EVOLUTIONISTS. I love how we have done 5 parts on this topic and not one person has attempted to give a scientific answer on ANY question. People 1) just respond with questions of their own (only proving their own lack of understanding) and 2)try to bring God into the evolution equation because deep down they understand evolution alone is unscientific. So I did everyone a favor and proved how, biblically and scientifically, God DID NOT use evolution in any way, in a former blog last June. Now you have presented us with some biblical questions off the topic since you are not able to stay on the topic because you have no answers. QUESTION: If i answer your questions will you immediately repent and follow Jesus? If not, than I am waisting my time because....with all questions answered you choose to continue to believe a lie. Nonetheless for us to back down and not answer these questions of yours would be hypocritical of us and make this series of no value. Please continue reading this with an open mind and with an attitude of wanting to know truth, even above your pride. Otherwise I do not wish to continue this discussion, as it will be nothing more than a bunch of intellectual/theological babble. Our purpose is to help reveal truth to those who seek it, not just to debate whether or not God's word is truth. Blind faith may be required at first but there are answers to that which you seek to understand. But let me just state, ,mindless evolution requires WAAAAAYYYY more blind faith than intelligent design.

Also note that just because these questions may difficult for us humans to fully grasp with the 3lbs of matter in our heads, this does not change the nature or the infinite wisdom and power of God (Jesus). Some of these questions you ask are very basic to the bible and the gospel some are a little more complex; therefore, allow me to give you one answer at a time, though, in a different order.

"Why would God, who is all-good, create Satan and give Satan his own abode? Why would an all-knowing God allow him to have contact with human beings?"

I will start here since Satan came before man. So do you really think this life is all about us humans? This existence is about ALL of creation. God created other beings, those of the physical and spiritual realm, to be with Him and share in His glory, love, joy, etc. The only way this could be authentic would be to allow creation to have a free will to choose to be with Him or apart from Him. Being that we all have freewill to choose to live with HIM or without Him, those who choose Him have more value to Him than all of those who do not choose Him combined. Satan chose his pride over being with God. Satan wanted to exalt himself higher than God; therefore, God caste him to the earth with all the angels who wanted to follow him. Satan's abode is here on earth because this is where man is and God's plan (and the greatest mystery of the universe, salvation by grace and the church) is carried out. God knew Satan would fall when He created him but still gave him that chance and would use him in His plan to root out those in mankind who would not follow him. Remember Satan's plan is to 1) stop the will of God, 2) set up his own kingdom, 3)justify himself to God and prove that he deserves to be in heaven instead of man (this is why he ceaselessly accuses man day and night). Satan influences mankind as mankind chooses to beleive a lie (like evolution) over God's word (like in the Garden). You can either beleive God or the Father of lies, the choice is yours. the only reason why Satan maintains control over the earth is that he is the stongest fallen angel on earth. There are more powerful and more evil angels than him but they are locked up for having sex with women before the flood. But that's a different story.

"Why would God, the creator of everything, create natural phenomenon like lightning and hurricanes whose only results are destruction and chaos?"

Well there is no mention of these things before the flood. I think these are a result in the change of the entire ecosystem of the earth after the flood. The flood being a result of mans perversion and sin. The flood was actually an act of grace that saved man from himself and the half breed giants called Nephilim. All things that are destructive are a result of man's sin and the earth is crying out because of the blood shed against innocent flesh. But yes God will use destuctive forces for His purpose.

Without lightening we would probably have never thought to harness electricity for our use. So be thankful and stop complaining. And besides how many people have been hurt by lightening? Hurricanes tie into MANY factors of our earth and is yes the earth acting out against man for destroying it and having to endure the innocent blood shed upon it.

"Why would God, who is all-knowing, create human beings if he knew they would have the capacity to destroy the whole planet with atomic bombs and global warming?"

Once again, with Thanksgiving around the corner, you should give thanks. We would have had this compacity a few thousand years ago if God would not have split the languages at the Tower of Babel. Let me ask you....do you think adam bombs....i mean atomic bombs are a chance accident that God wasn't prepared for? maybe you should read the Book of Revelation or maybe where Jesus said he will shorten those days otherwise man would destroy themselves. God knew about this and AGAIN it is all part of His plan. All these things must come to pass as Anti-Christ is EXTREMELY close to arising and Jesus' Return to set up HIS kingdom as prophesied throughout the Old and New Testament as was His first comming which happened EXACTLY as prophesied. If your scared of atomic bombs you should be even more scared of Anti-Christ. You can recognize Him easily, he bring false peace, get everyone chipped, and have the jewish temple rebuilt and then set himself up as God in it in the middle of his 7-year treaty....you cant miss him. Oh and global warming? Read in the Book of Revelation where people die from being scorched by the sun, yes this is one of God's judgment on man. WARNING: those who do not accept the judgment that Jesus took upon Himself will have to endure God's wrath themselves.

"Why would God, who is all merciful and forgiving, expect a human sacrifice to atone for the sins of mankind? Why would he expect that sacrifice to be his only son?"

First of all, let me say, Jesus DID NOT atone for sins. Jesus was the propitiation for our sin, not an atonement. The blood of bulls and goats atoned (covered up). His blood propitiated (removed forever from the eyes of God). You call God forgiving. The only way He could forgive is through the death of Christ. But Jesus didn't just come to forgive, He also came to bring us life. The biggest problem isnt sin. Your biggest problem is that YOUR DEAD!!! Because of sin we are all born dead, spiritually. If you want life you must come to Jesus. Jesus came to offer eternal life. That we may live with God. This is a much larger topic than I can explain in one paragraph but just know there is more to this than just forgiviness.The requirment of the sacrifice being His only Son is fundamental to christainity and prophesied for thousands of years. Asking this question shows that you have no understanding of the Gospel. You need to read more and then come back and ask questions. If you want to start a new thread of discussion on Jesus, I would be happy to continue. Go here then ask your questions through our main site...if you cant understand the Kinsman Redeemer Act you will never understand forgivness or salvation or why Jesus is the only way:

http://www.bibletruthonline.com/intro1.htm

The price to be bought out of slavery:
1)Must be of kin
2)must have price
3)must be able to pay price

Jesus:
1) became man
2) lived a perfect life
3) died on behalf of man-kind, receiving the judgment on the cross

The price has been payed. Now He has resurrected, to resurrect us spiritially....Born Again.

"Why would God, who is a just God, nevertheless allow punishment for the sin of Adam to be carried out on the whole human race?"

Are you saying you haven't sinned? We've all sinned and all participate in whatever punishment we receive. Do I have to suffer in this life because of sin? Yes. Do I have to suffer in the next? No. Jesus took that punishment for me so I dont have to go to hell. God is just and God is loving because of His great mercy in that He has provided a way out of having to go hell. God wanted it this way. He wanted us to be helpless on our own so our only hope is Him. How pissed off do you think Satan gets every time he gets to see a human who was born into sin go to heaven when he (Satan) was created in perfection, then fell, and can NEVER be saved? God will do what He wants and this is His plan. That we born in sin, can choose life and to be with Him. This is what He wants. Man with freewill choosing to receive a free gift. Salvation is free, what are you whining about? Angels were made in perfection, then chose not to be with God. We do the opposite. Like I said this life is not all about us. It's about proving to all of creation that he is Lord over all and that we see the result of our actions. We can either do things God's way...or not and suffer the consequences. If you go to hell, you chose to go there by not receiving a free gift, eternal life in Christ. If you want to believe a lie (like evolution)or keep your pride and not repent and follow Him that is your choice. YOU CHOOSE!! He has already made the way to be with Him, it is your resposibility to respond now that you've heard. Tomorrow is not guarantteed. You dont know how much time you have...you better figure it out quick.
