Basically, many times the atheist has a desire to go after their own ways rather than being obedient to God, they know God exists but they disregard Him in favor of seeking after self-gratification and carnal pleasures (again this is not saying ALL are that way, but many are)

The very mention of Him makes them fly off the handle,

It’s kind of like when you call an alcoholic an alcoholic but he doesn’t want to admit to himself he’s an alcoholic, no amount of debate will change his mind until he’s ready to admit it.

One reason Atheists don’t want to be reminded that God exists is because they’ve already chosen to reject Him.

Scripture warned us these days were coming, the atheist doesn’t want to hear of God because hearing of Him chaps their hide and interferes with them following THEIR OWN ways.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;”

I’d say that verse describes the days we’re in to a T.

I’m a creationist. I believe in the existence of creator, the God. It’s no matter if you are Islam, Christian, Jew (who share the same god, or hindu, buddhist, etc.), all that matters is the God.

Many people talk about God from the human perspective, which is wrong. We cannot even figure out the mystery of the universe, yet we are questioning the creator of the universe. How universe is created is beyond our imagination and all scientists can come out is just a hypothesis and try to prove it. What exists outside the universe? Not even the most genius scientist on earth can answer this. Ask Richard Dawkins and he’ll come out with the most ridiculous joke ever. Remember what he said about first single organism being planted by aliens billion years ago? He’s guessing all the way yet he was so idolized. The knowledge that God gave us is so limited. We cannot even create life out of nothing in any experiment until today, yet so believe the theory of origin of life as fact. In modern days, no spontaneous creation of life has been observed. Evolutionist will dodge the bullet by saying things like “it takes billion of years” or “something that you didn’t see doesn’t me it didn’t happen”. More to faith than science for me. The universe is so perfect in order, giving life suitable on earth.

Try to look evolution skeptically, and everytime creation scientists came out with scientific facts that refuted ToE, care to digest and look at it more objectively rather than quickly bashing creationists as uneducated and unscientific. They are so many sites refuting evolution. Creation scientist in fact used science to counter evolution. Science comes in many forms, and when more and more assumptions are made, with so many hypotheses put forward with lack of empirical proofs whatsoever, it is no longer science. I’d say evolution was a hypothesis put forward by scientists and they tied to gather proofs and evidence to proof it, some scientists were so desperate that they had to fabricate evidences, and encourage artistic imagination to illustrate evolution in process. Can you imagine scientists lied to prove evolution? What kind of evolutionary scientists were they? See, the pressure? Don’t you feel insulted? Does evolution promote lies? Many just accept that evolution a fact because they are told so, when questioning back, not many against it just afraid to be labeled “uneducated”.

The way I see the reason why so many scientists believe in evolution is because they have no choice. It’s either evolution or God. There’s peer pressure behind it. They must choose side. They need the grant and fund for researches. It’s a general concept that rejecting evolution is accepting creationism. They have to confirm with common scientists axiom that God does not exist, otherwise, the secular scientists’way or the highway. Period.

Just so you know, We do not hate you, even though our worldviews are drastically different, I cannot read your soul but God does Love you.

Faith in God is not something one person can force on another, but we are told to minister. To my fellow Christians keep in mind we are to SHARE the gospel and reflect Christ’s Love.

One thing about Love is that it is slow to anger, it is patient and kind.

Take care everyone,
God Bless

I think JT’s point with the article was that one Baramin (Created Kind) will not evolve into another entirely different Baramin,

(the families were created destinct) although within the created Kinds speciation/variety is observed.

Like for example, cats are a Baramin, Dogs are a Baramin, etc. I know He did not use the term Baramin in his article but he gives the impression THAT is what he means.

The reason I draw that conclusion is something he stated ”Evolution is also impossible once you hit a certain point. We all know that Micro-Evolution or Natural Selection is a truth of nature. We can observe animals changing and adapting on a small scale, but at a certain point evolution can go no further.”

JT can correct me if my understanding of his article is wrong.

Defining the precise Genesis kinds is very difficult because we do not know enough about genetics, and it is at the genetic level that the kinds need to be defined. Even the test of interbreeding is not a foolproof determination because we do not know how genetic defects (mutations, etc.) have built up over time to interfere with the reproductive process. We also have come to realize that animals that appear to be one kind do not interbreed (at least normally) because of different ingrained behaviors (a scientific subfield called ethology), mating practices, and other such complications.

I hope that at least helped some (even though you are not a creationist I do suggest you read up on Baramins it would help you understand a little better what creationists actually teach.)

Your claim is a bold and arrogant assumption and by saying it you are willingly ignoring the evidence that testifies to his existence.

Secondly The earth’s age has not been “verified by hundreds of thousands if not millions” actually, it has been ESTIMATED though (by scientists, most of who hold to Uniformitarianism)

All tests used to ESTIMATE the age of the earth start with the same presumtions and are fallible,(even the people doing the testing and yourself admit dating methods are not “an exact science”)

You only hold to an old earth because like many of the scientists you believe that things are now as they have always been, you trust overwhelmingly in the power of natural processes and chance and have rejected God.

Anyway it is obvious your mind is made up, as for your question about speciation, let me explain the best I can and maybe you’ll grasp it.

Creationists understand (and have explained) that the classification category of “species” is not the same as the Genesis kind. Species is a classification that is generally defined as an interbreeding unit that is reproductively isolated from other units.

It is well known, however, that individuals from different species or even different genera CAN potentially interbreed, but do not normally do so. There are factors that can cause “reproductive isolation” within a large group of animals. Animal behavior, size, environmental separation, or complex reproductive strategies can deter reproduction.

Animals that CAN physically reproduce together, but normally do not, would be included within one Genesis kind. In the classification system, however, the splitters have dominated so animals have been split up into different species within a genus. The original Genesis kind was undoubtedly a much broader classification than a “species” as we stated most probably on the family level of classification.

Speciation as we explained is variety (a lion and tiger are different species, but the same KIND of animal.)
