During an impassioned sermon about death and final judgement, the pastor said forcefully, "Each member of this church is going to die and face judgement." Glancing down at the front pew, he noticed a man with a big smile on his face - the man was called Nailit. The minister repeated his point louder. "Each member of this church is going to die and face...

Drmorgansx - yes the evolutionists passionately believe that mutations in the DNA are responsible for change over time.
Whilst this is possible through selective breeding or environmental pressures, this only accounts for micro evolution, such as Darwin's finches, woolier sheep, bigger or smaller dogs etc, but macro evolution, that is, cross speciation, has never been observed and remains an impossibility, much to the dismay of atheist evolutionists.

Theland, //Were they raped? No! There you are then!//
No they weren’t but no thanks to God - simply because the mob rejected Lot’s appalling offer, preferring men instead.
.
And these the girls who had their wicked way with their drunken father and bore his children from their couple of nights of fun. Nice family. God uses a very odd yardstick to determine the ‘righteous’.
Your response to the Lot farce is a typical example of you lifting the corner of a page and swiftly dropping it again when the content doesn’t suit your preferred view. Doubtless you do the same with the reprehensible Abraham and Isaac saga - not forgetting poor old Job. God’s chicanery, like your refusal to acknowledge what’s really there, knows no bounds.

drmorgans - // In a religious context, how does it work? The development of species, evolution if you will, is obviously not a manmade phenomenon, so the conditions for it must have been created by God? //
You are putting forward Theland and the other fervents' catch-all explanation - if science doesn't have an explanation for it, it must be God that did it.
That's hasn't been allowed to stand on here for as long as the section has been around - and it's not going to stand now.

// Dmorgans - indeed. God created animals after their, '' kind,'' speciation is not mentioned.
It is impossible for one kind to change into another.
Take no notice of Naomi above, she's just having a rant! //
drmorgans - Theland is, as usual, putting forward statements that chime with his view of the world, take no notice, he's just having a preach.

Spungle - // Hi Andy, our concept or view of God is entirely natural, and is within every person, as seen in the remotest tribes and in every culture. The choice to listen to our conscience is God-given, in my view. As is our free choice deny His existence. //
I think you are giving God some undeserved credence here.
I would not dispute that mankind has, from its earliest origins, grasped the concept of a 'higher being' to explain all the phenomena that he cannot understand.
But Prehistoric Man would have looked at what he saw immediately, the sun, the moon, the trees, water, eclipses and so on et al.
The notion of your 'God' came along when Man was somewhat more sophisticated - but the urge comes from exactly the same source, and it fulfils exactly the same function, it makes Man feel better to believe that something 'higher' is controlling everything, and there is an 'afterlife' to look forward to.
Modern Man creates his gods for exactly the same reasons his prehistoric ancestors did - that need for reassurance remains with us today.
Of course every religion believes their 'god' is the real deal, and everyone else is just making it up - who knows?
That's what faith is - belief in something you cannot prove, which is fine.
Where all Christians slip up is when they develop an undeserved sense of superiority over people who don't believe as they do, including atheists like me.

There is an Amazonian tribe, the matses, whose religion is animism. Their belief is animal spirits are in all things, both living and inanimate.
That's about as far as you can get from having one God who created everything in six days. Who's to say, with any authority, that they are wrong?
