Once again science proves science wrong

Family man, small business owning, straight, Christian, white, male.
i thought you had to get a different job, one with better insurance so that you could better take care of your wife.

i would think a bigger company would have better insurance than you could get as a small business owner...
 
I'm a Christian and I believe in evolution. What should I do about this groundbreaking study?

Considering evolutionary biology has been the single biggest adversary of deism and theism, you should take some level of satisfaction in knowing that the source of that theory has been soundly debunked. How you reconcile your faith in a creator and a savior with your personal inclinations on timelines and evolution is up to you.

To me, the importance and legitimacy of the bible doesn't lie at the feet of whether the details or timelines are totally accurate, its the story in is totality. It doesnt matter to me if the bible says the great flood happened 5000 years ago when modern science says it happened 12,000 years ago, or if it flooded the whole world or just the region where the story takes place, what's inportant is that it happened. I could care less that science says the brontosaurus lived 65 million years ago or that the book of Job places its existence at 5,000 AD, what matters is that they arent contradictory in its existence. Science says that all people are the descendants of 1 man and 1 woman, as the bible does. Doesn't matter if the bible places them in mesopotamia and science places them in Africa, they corroborate one another in the most important way.

The bible says first the universe was formed, then earth, then water, then land, then animals, then people. Science says the same thing. Seems like there is quite a bit of common ground there.

I have a business and a good job. I'm a high capacity person.

When you make a loaf of bread do you *poof* it into existance or do you put the right ingredients into the right circumstance for the ingredients to turn into bread?

You know that it will become bread. You know what you're doing by putting those ingredients into that environment.

Yeah. It takes intelligent design.

I'm dying here. Awesome job, keep it up.

The important thing is that FC has finally corroborated his claims of believing in God with a solid argument for why he believes in him.

Still not sure if he is a deist or a theist, but the fact that he truly does believe in a God that created the universe and set forth to give us all of the animals in existence at about the same time is encouraging.

NM, he has to be a theist. Which is weird because the father of the evolutionary theory that science has now disproven went from deist to agnostic to atheist. FC can see how ridiculous any of those positions are based on his faith in Christ.

I find it ridiculous but I don't fault others for not seeing the world like I do.
