So you only see Jesus when you know beforehand they are Christians.
Selective "understanding" on your part is worthless. I don't see Jesus in you at all no matter how much pride you take in your good-deed-doing. Those who are in Him, and have His indwelling presence, trust Him rather than the minds of men...including your own.
You are merely saying that if the prophecies have not been fulfilled then they will in the future. You have no basis to claim this except that you believe they will.
Go back and read my post carefully. One of your problems is that you are ignorant of the faith that you say you spent 18 years practicing. But don't feel bad, there's a lot of that among young Christians.
Then just give me sufficient evidence to believe the bible is the word of god?
You are looking for proof and there is no such thing as proof. You should know, if you know anything about science. There is just evidence that
suggests. You are just chasing your tail.
"...I don't care if evolution is true or not. Proving evolution false does not then prove anything about god."
No, it just posts reasonable doubt about the whole materialist POV. We are part of a universe created by the Spirit of God through His great power. There is no other explanation. Now, my question remains for you: Are you going to get over yourself and take the leap of faith, or are you going to shrink back under the cover of atheistic fools? I am done going in circles with you--I don't believe that you are honestly seeking faith. What kind of a person goes on a Christian website to goad and harass Christians? Frankly, I have better things to do with my time.
We know that Antibiotics put selective pressure on a population resulting in resistant strains. Because we know this we have developed strategies and antibiotics that minimize resistance. What advancement in medical science has creationism led to?
The bacteria did not express anything that wasn't already there--not a big deal. Happens all the time in nature. Intelligent Design advocates do not deny that there is such a thing as "selective pressure" (called "survival of the fittest" by some, in the past). Please don't trot out the dopey black moth/white moth presentation--it is just a diversion from the actual questions which evolutionists invariably dodge.
Many, many scientists have been creationists, both in the past and even today (although they are apt to be quiet about it for fear that atheists will punish them for their faith). I know several scientists who are also Christians and believe that there was a Creative Intelligence behind all that we see.
No. It just refutes evolution. You calling it a hypothesis does not change the fact that it is a well established theory with mountains of evidence to support it.
Your "evidence" doesn't answer any real questions and, if you are as bright as you apparently think you are, you would know that. The only real "evidence" that evolutionists tout is the recording of instances of "selective pressure" and Intelligent Design and Creationists already believe that occurs.
A valid theory should be testable and much of the body of evolution conjecture is just that--conjecture--unable to be tested. Which means that overall, the great mass of evolutionary thought is a mere hypothesis. Many of the observations of evolutionists are trivial.
The data that is coming in from molecular biologists and biochemists deny much of evolutionary thought. Behe is right--if it does not work at the biochemical level (and he points to a lot of evidence that it doesn't), it doesn't work anywhere.
