There are indeed not many “convinced” atheists like Dawkins, but it is a pity that many professing Christians fail to see the theological inconsistencies as regards the theory of theistic evolution. Simple faith in God’s infallible and inerrant Word is the solution. There is no need to interpret the days as “periods of time,” or to insert gaps where there is none.vincit omnia veritashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129530005436270157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27989891.post-1155545899974717072006-08-14T01:58:00.000-07:002006-08-14T01:58:00.000-07:00Do you notice that scientists are sometimes labell...Do you notice that scientists are sometimes labelled as atheists who promote evolution? <BR/><BR/>At the place where I work, there are 3 groups with a total of about 30 scientists (Phd students or post-doctoral researchers, like myself). <B>I have yet to find an atheist amongst us.</B> My boss is Catholic, most of the rest will consider themselves Christian.<BR/><BR/>The problem, in my limited experience, is not the belief in the existence of God, but the indifference towards Him.

They have, for the most part, silenced those who believe in God and dare I say believe in miracles, although the story you tell sounds like a bigger miracle to me. <BR/><BR/>We continue to pray and teach our children that God is the creator of all, and many of us still believe the bible is literally true. <BR/><BR/>The so called sciences have shouted us down, and the monkeys have won, for now, but the creator will soon clear all of this confusion up, won't he? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great piece.Mike Messerlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898765959699944927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27989891.post-1155425690236908792006-08-12T16:34:00.000-07:002006-08-12T16:34:00.000-07:00Yes.

For example, there was a series of public creation seminars in Singapore in 2004, which was organized by my previous church (Gethsemane BP Church). During that entire period, and also after that, there were frequent articles in both the papers and forums regarding those “religious fanatics” who were pushing for “myths” to be taught.<BR/><BR/>Christian scientists who dare to speak up against evolution in Singapore are those who have a very secure “wallet,” or those who are retiring or already retired.<BR/><BR/>Public schools here are a little better than those in US. At least teachers can “modify” their teaching syllabus without risk of being kicked out by school boards.vincit omnia veritashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129530005436270157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27989891.post-1155408734290045322006-08-12T11:52:00.000-07:002006-08-12T11:52:00.000-07:00I just listened to a Christian Radio programme her...I just listened to a Christian Radio programme here in London, UK. There was a debate between a guy from Biblical Creation Ministeries and a Government Minister (who advocated Evolution).<BR/><BR/>What struck me was that the government minister was trying to promote evolution as science and should be taught in schools. He claimed that creation should be classified as religion and be taught only in church. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if that type of situation is happening in Singapore?Evangelical bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214459055989401079noreply@blogger.com
