This is more and more an issue in the US that people in power on one hand claim to be Christians (to get votes) but at the same time are being exposed as idiots not fit to run anything.

Well if you are a Christian, you do not believe in evolution. I imagine there are plenty of Christian British MP's too. Not to mention, the Queen of England, who is also the head of the Anglican church. The Queen of England does not believe in evolution by definition. Has anyone ever asked her?

Either God created man in his image, or he didn't.

I would doubt that there is a single British MP who doubts evolution and the Queen may be the legal head but she aint no fool

You make a lot of assumptions.

"Well if you are a Christian, you do not believe in evolution. I imagine there are plenty of Christian British MP's too."

Human beings being made in the image of God is fundamental to the religion. There is nothing in the Christian religion that allows for evolution. If you don't believe in the creation of the Universe by God, then how are you a Christian? That would make no sense.

I'm not a Christian btw.

No one really knows what being a christian actually entails, it is all so random and haphazard.

i doubt any adult christians in the uk doubt evolution

I'd hazard a guess that a fair portion of Christians believe in evolution and still see themselves as Christians

yes i agree but them i doubt many christians could suggest what it takes to be one or agree.

A belief in Jesus Christ would be a start, wouldnt it?

A belief of what though

that he existed
that he was god
that he could do magic
that he died and was magiced up to a place called heaven
that he can read your thoughts
that he is coming back
that he watched millions of children die in pain every year

?

All believe that Jesus existed in some form or another.
Most believe that he was either god or became god sometime during his life, (thats to include a lot of early christian sects).
They dont look upon it is magic. Just using his powers.
Some believe that he died in order the world would be saved/he died for our sins. Not all believe he ascended to heaven at that time.
A lot believe he will come back.

Arent you a Christian LT? What do you believe?

What i believe is based on the evidence left. he was a clever and charismatic bloke, but then again so was Bob Monkhouse.

This evidence being the Bible?

Authorised King James version of course!

I really enjoyed Crying With Laughter.

The evidence one would look for in a court, if accused of something they did not do, should be the evidence they look for when one talks of magical gods and the like.

fact.

Obviously not.

Crap.

An airtight alibi or definitive proof of someone else committing the act, doesnt prove the existence or absence of a god.

Who made the universe?

Some big boys did it then ran away!

you misunderstand. I only stated that the evidence of anything that i, you and everyone else on tibb require is kind of that of a court.

you tell me you saw a ghost and i ask the same questions i would ask of you (to prove it) as if you had accused me of sleeping with your partner.

the evidence we require of folks on a daily basis is what we all should require from any supernatural claim

it is why no supernatural claims are ever substantiated

Does that mean you have handed in your warrant card from the god squad?

I only seek the truth





:laugh2:

Evolution is a convenient theory but wrong........Evolution is part of creation not the cause of it........

If you designed a machine capable of evolving it is not the evolving that creates its the original creation which could either have included evolution as factor or not.......

It's creation that is the convenient theory. Lets get that straight!

Evolution has facts to back it up. God is just a fantasy figure that exists only in the mind.

Jesus Christ was a Jew. He read, studied and believed in the Jewish Torah. Including that bit about creation.

Christians who believe in Evolution might just be more stupid than Christians who don't. If you are going to be stupid you may as well be consistent and believe the whole thing instead of picking and choosing.

Thats a very good point Stu, however since when has religion or the followers of religion been consistent?

Surely if christians wanted to be consistent they wouldnt be christians but Jews themselves? After all JC didnt start the religion named after him.

Jesus is believed to be the son of Christ amongst Christians. Jews don't buy this, and are still awaiting the second coming. The whole Jesus story goes against Judaism, thus, Christians cannot be Jews.
