I have no idea how deep your denial goes.
We are very, very similar genetically to chimps. That's a cold, hard fact. How you shoehorn your hunter gatherer creation myth to adapt to it isn't our problem. We don't want to be involved. We just ask you keep it to yourselves.
A group of Nobel Prize winners signed this letter against ID stating: “Logically derived from confirmable evidence, evolution is understood to be the result of an unguided, unplanned process of random variation and natural selection.” It seems that here the line between methodological naturalism and philosophical naturalism has been breached regardless on which side you stand.
If you say so. In that case, philosophical naturalism is upheld. But at least that frees up your Sunday mornings!
If you say so. In that case, if ‘my’ Sunday mornings are fair game than so are ‘your’ philosophical naturalistic classrooms - on the weekdays. Because how you shoehorn your hunter gatherer creation myth to adapt to it is everyone’s problem.
ATOMICALLY, we are EXACTLY chimps!
Every one of the atoms used to create THEIR bodies is found in OUR bodies!
That's a cold, hard fact.
NIV 1 Peter 1:17-21
17. Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
18. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,
19. but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
20. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
21. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
NIV 1 Corinthians 2:7
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
NIV 2 Timothy 1:8-10
8. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,
9. who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
10. but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
NIV Titus 1:1-4
1. Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness--
2. a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
3. and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
4. To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
