Ya got to love it!!
@bobrabea
Well I appreciate your explanation. I’m sure you’re familiar with the theistic evolution viewpoint, which holds that evolution was a process used by God and that Genesis provides a metaphorical account. The leader of the human genome project, Francis Collins, holds to theistic evolution, and states that the complexity of evolution is, if anything, a tribute to God’s wonders. He actually came to Christianity through his study of natural sciences. Again, I appreciate your dialog.
@DDbRowN67 SO TRUE! (although my dad has forgot to count a few times resulting in someone being left behind!) I love I wouldn’t have it any other way =D (We have a big family too, I have “7sisters1″ the one representing my only brother)
@ExecuteAllMolesters and evolution tells us that we evolved from an animal similar to that of an Orang-utan. Logically speaking, they just don’t match
Hope this helps – apologies for the lengthy response (I condensed it as much as I could).
@ExecuteAllMolesters – hence the name worldview! Another example of the incompatibility of the two views is the order of creation itself. You have the Genesis account of creation claiming the sun was created on day four, after the earth was made, while evolution puts the sun a few million years before the earth. Another example is of course that the Bible tells us that God created us in his own image and likeness……..
@ExecuteAllMolesters while evolution requires billions of years to allow for the many variations of animals, plants, formation of stars etc. I am very aware that there are well-meaning Christians who try to fit millions of years into the Bible, but the problems which that view pose to the Biblical text are untold, not to mention that as Christians we should be starting with the Bible as our absolute authority and from there looking at and interpreting the world around us…
@ExecuteAllMolesters …which you could study), but it’s fun to mention just a few since you asked me to explain: The most central issue at the heart of the debate is the obvious difference between the two models when it comes to the age of the earth…simply put, the Bible claims that the earth was created in a short period of time (six days to be precise, the seventh a rest day – where we derive our normal weeks from) a few thousand years ago (using the chronologies in Genesis)…
@ExecuteAllMolesters It is also interesting to note that both the Biblical creationist and the evolutionist relies upon operational science along the way to support his theories. I could go on for some time about how evolution defies laws, uniformity of nature, induction or human morality, however your statement was geared more towards the compatibility between religion and evolution. There are numerous differences between the two views (a simple Google search will reveal in-depth information…
@ExecuteAllMolesters It’s vital to realize that the evidence which is so often presented to support evolution (or creation) does not speak for itself. The evidence must always be interpreted in light of one’s worldview. I must admit that it sometimes shocks me to see people trying to marry the two views, seeing that they form the basis of two completely different views of the world, namely Christianity and Naturalism.
@ExecuteAllMolesters Every religion or worldview attempts to answer the question, ‘Where did we come from?’ The Biblical creationist uses the account in Genesis, while the evolutionist uses the ideas of naturalism to answer the question. Obviously, neither the creationist nor the evolutionist was there when it all began, so both views must be accepted by faith (which is where they are similar in character).
@ExecuteAllMolesters I’d love to! Firstly, to clarify, when you said originally that you thought religion and evolution were compatible, I immediately assumed that you were referring to Biblical Creationism & evolution, which may not have been the case. So, religion and evolution are indeed similar in the sense that they both have a religious aspect to their nature.It was in relation to Biblical Creation v. evolution (which is where the debate really lies) that I meant they are extreme opposites
homeschooling ftw
@rsjames
You had to home school by yourself?! Awe, I have a cousin who was the same, just her, I home-schooled from k-6, but I had two brothers and a sister.
It’s funny but not cruel. I know a lot of homeschoolers. It’s fun with a self depreciating humor that’s really neat. It’s nice when we can make fun of ourselves and still be proud of who we are.
duggar family has some competion
This is awesome, Love it! Check out our home schooled 6 year old daughter the Naturalist @ orlasark.com/
homeschool would be more fun If I had brothers and sisters to do it with me
The people who disliked this are public schooled.
@bobrabea
Care to explain.
I am a home-schooled only child!
FUNNY!
Thank you for comment. We are putting him in a special needs school. He needs to be in school for the socialization.
No they are not compatible EAM, extreme opposites !
This is funny! I like the part about the nine year old being a lawyer and the kids excelling. I guess to the rest of the world that does not HS it is odd to see big families and parents giving up second incomes to HS their “many” kids. However, what about a song on the kids that come from a family with no other siblings and are latch key kids. Sad, lonely, and not monitored at all…. Now that is truly sad. Laugh at parents who love their kids… Makes complete sense to me
I don’t really understand the whole creation debate. Why are people on both sides so dead set on this false dichotomy of “religion versus evolution?” Are the two not compatible?
@iArlet Don’t kill yourself! What a waste. Instead Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for making you and loving you and dying for you. In Him we are new creations. I was public schooled and was very stupid when I started homeschooling my own 8 children. I have learned and learned as I taught. I am now pretty educated and very disgusted with the public schools for my absolutely lousy “education”. But I praise God for the priviledge to school my children AND MYSELF.
