Good job Reed. Got some good incompatibilities there, thanks!
(Rosenhouse was right: reconciling Christianity and evolution is NOT as easy at theistic evolutionists--or their secular homies, for that matter--try to make it sound.) |

So you have God "guiding evolution" but at the same time, making it look like evolution is "a completely mindless process" (EB3), therefore making the situation look as if he's trying to deceive us humans. |
Whoohoo!! Three silly statements in a row! You get a free TARD hat, Floyd!
The fact is that it is quite easy for evolution (the process) to be mindless while an intelligence uses the knowledge of evolution (uses the process) to breed short haired dogs, fruit flies with white eyes, horses that can jump, etc. That you don't understand this distinction is not our problem.
Quote | And since God's "guiding evolution", he must NECESSARILY also be guiding those cruel and sadistic aspects of evolution also---a gazillion years of "Nature Red in Tooth and Claw". All that evolutionary bloodsport just to evolve the first humans. |
Certainly invoking your 2000 year old primitive sun-god as the guider of evolutionary (or any physical) processes leads to the realization that such a god is a monster, but who cares? The bible presents that monster anyway, so clearly that god is not incompatible with evolution.
