Christians don't have to believe in a literal translation of the bible in order to worship Christ as their saviour


So they believe in a God that is all powerful, but didn't create man or the earth?

Sorry, but the basis of Christianity is that God created man and Jesus is the salvation of man.

y'all should have a look at a Talmud sometimes - there are airtight arguments in there showing that all scientific evidence is consistent with Genesis (no information on inexplicable the appeal of phil collins)

I believe in the principle of evolution. How it works is a mystery to me; beyond the simple idea of millions upon millions of iterations of an organism, random mutations either increasing or decreasing the organism's 'fitness' to survive and being 'selected' by the environment.

However, the physical evidence linking apes to humans would not fill a childs coffin (i.e not much protohominid remains to extrapolate from) so my jury is still out on that one.

All mammals swim in amniotic fluid, all mammals live in water for part of their life so there's no mystery in how babies swim at birth is there? And you only have to meet another ape to know a closer kinship than you get with any other animal. I mean, you look into there eyes and it's someone.

But for my money, evolution is still a theory. It's the only theory, but I would dispute it is an indisputable fact, for the time being at least.

Jeez Nuke, you're sig is great and everything , but couldn't you just post a link to it or something?

It is a fact, just take a look at the historical records on the evolution of species.  Darwin pretty much proved it with his studies on the Gallapagos and his journey on the HMS Beagle.

Evolution is the only theory so far backed up by strong scientific data.
Evolution IS A FACT in nature. Now, if the modern human is a product of evolution is still not certain, it is still the most credible theory. I believe it as much as I believe man has already walked on the moon.

Oh, and NUKE's signature makes baby jesus cry.

Oh yeah? So where is the proof MT? If you claim it to be a fact, then you'd better be able to present some evidence.

And the god 'Haytec' said let there be power in the server and there was and as he looked down upon it he did know twas good.

and to populate this world he did maketh aircraft of quadruple nations and he saw that it was good and just.

but the Luftwiniens did argue, 'Oh good and just god 'haytec' we are needing a divebomber.

and he listened and being a good and just god 'Haytec' did giveth a 'stuka'

and all were happy.

etc etc etc

the beginnings of a new religion  :D :D
