It just tends to pain me, when I see the creation issue stir so much controversy. As I strongly believe it pushes people away from Christ, and keeps those who don't know Him at bay...
 :(


What I can't stand is people who run around with perhaps a piece of the puzzle as to how God created his works and shouting that, because they have discovered an infetesmally small piece of how it may have been done, there is no God.

I don't even reject the TToE.  I do reject any notion that it is really all that useful.

Because of the potential of uncertain inherent in quantum physics a TOE will probably never be found that can be agreed upon by all physicists. Personally, I'm not all that sure about the uncertain concept. I think that it is just subterfuge to avoid stating that they have no idea what is going on at that level and probably never will.

Rejection of TToE is the same as rejection of mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, physics and all other sciences.

Using a theological reference as a basis for science is the same as using Dianetics as a basis for history.

The Bible tells us how to live and provides a broad historical backdrop against which to view the way God wants us to treat each other.  You might notice it mentions the pyramids in passing without describing in detail the math behind them.

Sorry, but the judge is right. 
Christian students learn all the basics and ALL the evidence, unlike public school kids who can only hear the "approved" info.

I am certain that the evidence presented supported evolution is reasonable.  Further testing has been done that supports the theory, such as the testing of the generational size of fruit flies relative to oxygen present in their environments.  Carbon dating is accurate, and no evidence has emerged supporting the theory that it's half-life has ever been anything other than constant.  Evidence supports climatological changes on Earth that benefitted some species and phyla at the expense of others.

All that said, just because I may accept the how of something God chose to do something does not lead me to reject God.
