Jesus! vs Darwin!
Jesus Christ
Positives: Impressive stamina. Historically known for taking a beating, staying
on his feet. Has history of miraculous resurrection.
Negatives: Invented Pacifism. Dangerous habit of turning the other cheek.
Charles Darwin
Positives: Invented Natural Selection. Understands what's at stake with
"Survival of the Fittest".
Negatives: Theology student, nearly became an Anglican parson. Mixed feelings
punching his Lord's Only Son and Savior in the face.
Inspired by the Creation Museum that opened deep in the craw of Kentucky this month. Proudly displays dinosaurs mingling with Adam and Eve, less than 6000 years ago. Noah had some on the ark, but apparently they sinned once they got here.

That's beautiful. If Jesus weren't so fair-minded, his faithful horse would already have eaten Mr. Darwin.

I got Jesus at -300 and Darwin at +240. Any Divine intervention and all wagers will be NO ACTION.

Beautifully rendered. It's a tough call, one can call in a favorite to dad and change the laws of nature and the other one has the power of science. Oh wait, there's no proof that his dad exists. I put all my money on Darwin.

"THE CREATOR" VS the Created of the Creator.
It may not be really what is in the real facts because the CREATOR never strives with regards to ALL HIS created.
GOD-ALL MIGTHY never strives it is MAN that strives with his CREATOR.
1.)Human Carnal Perspectives:"GOD is my equal so I do not treat HIM with HONOUR & RESPECT.(nO REVERENTIAL FEAR WHATSOEVER)
2.)GOD'S SOVEREIGN PERSPECTIVES: "Nothing shall stand or exalt itself against the Name of:(Philippians 2:10)
JESUS CHRIST ..is a Name ABOVE ALL NAMES.ALL KNEES SHALL BOW ..of those of the WHOLE EARTH & those Under the Earth.
This is from the Holy WORD OF GOD our CREATOR.
We are just MINUTE sands in arena of vast humanity GOD created.

I respect men who search, so I hope your name, "The Searcher" reflects your heart.
There is really no contest between Darwin and Jesus. In fact Jesus loved him and formed him and held together the universe that he explored and enjoyed.
The Bible - Colossians 1:13-17
13. For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
14. in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
15. And He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation.
16. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities all things have been created by Him and for Him.
17. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
The Bible - John 1:9-13
9. There was the true light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
10. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
13. who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Bible - John 14:6 (words of Jesus)
6. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.
The Question is? Is he a liar, a lunatic or Lord and God? There is really no other choice. If you ask Him to reveal it, you will find him to be Lord and God.

random bible spam ftw!
The Searcher (54 months ago | reply)
There is a school of thought that posits that a creator, logically, strives to create something more than himself, better than himself. Any Mother or Father can attest to this. Thus it could be considered that man was not made in god's image, but was in fact made to be better than god. An improvement, a next generation. A child of god.
in which case, man by virtue of his very creation, has surpassed god and god's wisdom in most respects. Which puts the money on Darwin to win out.
Working against logic, as so much of the bible tends to do, Jesus is apparently both god AND god's son. So he's both god and more than god, at the same time. Which one is fighting Darwin at this moment?
And the fight of Reason Vs Faith rages on.
mbryan777 (54 months ago | reply)
Searcher,
Neither is fighting Darwin. God loved Darwin. I'm not sure Darwin ever fought against God any more than the rest of us. Darwin has only been used by some who probably know God exists but are afraid to face Him. Darwin probably realized that one would need an incredible amount of faith to imagine that everything just popped into being without a designer.
I am an engineer, but studied biology for two years before getting my engineering degree. The more I know of biology and engineering, the more I am convinced that God designed us, the flowers, bacteria and the stars. Just consider the human heart. It is a pump unequaled by anything man ever made. But then consider the amazing eyeball, with all of it's moving parts that focuses and sends an image to the brain. Then consider that for an eyeball to have evolved, it needed the heart, but for the heart to be nourished, the man needed the eyeball to see. Then there is the brain...
Think of how silly it is to consider God fighting Darwin, a mere man while He holds the planets in their orbits.
No, He loves you and I and Darwin more than we could ever imagine.
The Searcher (54 months ago | reply)
near as I can tell, Jesus wasn't around when Darwin lived, so you're going to have to take the piece as metaphor. The Bible should have given you some practice with this.
And as metaphor, your words here about perfectly encapsulate the struggle between science and faith. Thank you for your contribution.
John Kittelsrud (54 months ago | reply)
Ach, not the eye thing again. Please people, go take a class, read a book, talk to someone who understands, anything. If your misconceptions about biology parallels your understanding of engineering I hope never to encounter any project you have worked on. Please, no offense is meant by that but that is like saying that a computer is impossible because the equipment used to build them is so complex that they can only be made with the assistance of computers.

random thought - scientists have proven that Bees cannot possibly fly. Something about power to weight ratio or the such...

Seen in my recent comments. (?)
blimpa (54 months ago | reply)
am i the only one turned on here?
The Searcher (54 months ago | reply)
Jasmic: actually I think some scientists (possibly graduated from similar school as our engineering friend here) haven't yet figured out how bees fly, however they haven't proven or disproven anything. In fact a bee in flight pretty much disproves the negative, and elegantly.
John: I think to be same as the biology "argument", computers would have to have been created by better computers. Floating off in space omniscient computers.
Blimpa: probably. but I thank you for your contribution, too.

The Searcher,
you shared your beliefs and mbryan777 was simply sharing his. There is no need to insult his intelligence- he did not attack yours or your talent. You have a wonderful talent and a vivid imagination but have some respect for people who don't believe what you do.
