Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

So, to say "Evolution is impossible" is contradictory to Matthew 19:26.

:Cheeky:

Ship 'er off to Evolution/Creation!

That is not what that scripture means. It means that God is all powerful and he can do anything within his will in our own personal lives.

Evolution wasn't part of his plan or will, so therefore it is a myth. God doesn't deal with myths.

Oh please. :Cheeky: You really can't see any evidence! Where's the evidence for Adam and Eve, hm? Where's the evidence for the Tree of Knowledge and Good and Evil? Where's the evidence for Noah's Ark? Where's the evidence? I'm not being ignorant of your "evidence", you really don't have any evidence!

God showed you the plans?
Care to give us few of the juicier details?

Faithful · 08-27-2006, 07:48 PM

You are saying that the scripture says that with God all things are possible. So do you think that he was part of evolution?

GenesisNemesis · 08-27-2006, 07:49 PM

No. I think if ALL things are possible with God, then Evolution should be possible as WELL, which makes this verse wrong, if Evolution is impossible.

Remember, all scripture is God-breathed!

Gen. 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

GN,God could have authorized evolution if that were his choice, but he chose another route. There is only one way to build a building. A plan has to be used. It is impossible to do it two different ways.

This thread is silly. There is a difference between God having the ability to do something and God choosing to act on that ability. Creationists claim that, though God certainly had the ability to use evolution, he used a different method instead. You know this. Playing word games only makes you look bad.

Creationism has plenty of problems as it is; why don’t you pick one of the real issues instead of poking fun at schematics.

I agree - the topic of this thread doesn't make any sense.

"With God, all things are possible" specifically refers to salvation, not to scientifically impossible feats.

The topic makes more sense than Christian theology, but it's still not serious Biblical Criticism or History. Perhaps it can find a new home somewhere Else.
