I think it would be great if all these questions were one day to be answered, but even if we do get an answer there's no possible way we can say it is true, since we haven't seen or experience the facts. |
Dude, so you're saying that
(a) The theory of evolution doesn't necessarily say there is no God,
BUT
(b) But the Bible says things in another way (that is, God created the heavens and the earth in a week's time),
THEREFORE
(c) The theory of evolution doesn't believe in a superior being... ????????
My apologies, friend, but your argument doesn't add up at all. Just because the Bible says things in another way doesn't mean that there is no superior being at all. I suppose you were being a bit too hasty there.
Here, let me help you with these two questions:
(1) Could you show me where exactly in his scientific books did Charles Darwin explicitly exclude the possibility of there being a God in his theory?
(2) Could it not be that the Jews of ancient times, not having any access to the scientific knowledge and advancements we have today, decided to explain the origins of the universe in parable form? (Recall that not everything in the Hebrew Bible should be taken literally... That was just the way people used figures of speech back in the day).
