Topic: Evolution
Quote: Each side tries to support their own worldview. There are two positions, and sides are chosen. It\'s human nature. \nYes. :) \nI can only speak for myself - winning converts is what the Bible suggests, but I don\'t believe in doing it in a forceable way. I don\'t believe one person / one event wins a convert all at once, it takes a combination of many tiny little steps (examples) to win converts. \nMy main reason for posting here is political. I don\'t believe it\'s possible to have neutrality in government. If church & state are separated, atheism and state are combined. Atheism almost always equals secular "progression", and Judeo Christianity almost always equals tradition, according to unchanging Biblical morals. The two quickly clash in politics. Also, I don\'t believe future generations (school children) are having the gaps in godless evolution explained to them clearly enough. \nI enjoy written debates very much, and I\'m trying to show how evolution can establish atheism in the U.S. government, in violation of the text of the First Amendment and intent of the framers. \nI believe there has to be a God because I see no compelling evidence that life spontaneously generated from non living chemicals.\nI was brought up without anyone forcing me what to believe, and went to church occasionally. My church attendance didn\'t get very regular until my late twenties - about twenty years ago. A few Bible studies, comparing it to the flow of events, the nature of people, my shortcomings, the shortcomings of science etc, convinced me. \nThough it doesn\'t really say why, the Bible says that is what will happen. See Matthew 7 :13,14. It\'s part of God\'s plan. Free will.
Response: Very well said, but remember, Evolution doesnt mean atheism, but creationism means religion. I know Christians that believe in evolution, but i dont know atheists that believe in creationism.
