Its Unfinished Business

It’s Unfinished Business Knowing so well that you have the answer, To church, Christian theology and beliefs, That’s it’s just a mental illness majestic, That they’re really only sanity thieves. Shut up by the Youth Fellowship leader, Who used disability and loneliness techniques, Under the shelf of nobility, ruined asunder, By their communication fabric and cliques. Pleasured by evolution, overjoyed, focussed, Able to express that meaning to be given, Wanting to tell the whole story, not discussed, Of behaviour, choice, sex and genetics, driven. Going away for a bit, but will come back, From those debates on creationism/evolution, It’s unfinished business, the reply yack, Time will give me my worth and derivation.

...organisms in our world, and so i don’t feel that believing in a combination of creationism and evolution is particularly healthy. I was just saying in my poem that i also have a voice and i have the entitlement to state my case. Not only is freedom of speech beautiful, it is also necessary and very powerful indeed.

...does not leave out environment, or setting and sociology, it does not dismiss free choice either of life choices or of partners, it does not stamp on minority groups such as the disabled, coloured people, gender and sexual minorities, or political freedom fighters, and it does not exclude me because I also evolved. To dilute evolution is to extinguish its flame which burns only for us and for all the other...

very good, indeed majestic, and I think the born again Christian’s lives are just about making god look good. Evolution is a very sufficient theory because it takes man, the thing in question, and draws conclusions from him or her and from the geology, plants and animals under observation, thus deducing the system or process by which we exist. It does not exclude behaviour as it postulates developmental plasticity to the environment, it...

Rhoda - you have a lot going on in here that I don't think most will understand. and I know where you're coming from -- but you know what -- they're both true creationism and / evolution... evolution is just the way God made creation happen - the science of creations - the laws to govern creations -- or there would be chaos-- yes it took billions of years to transpire -- but to God whose playground is infinity - a billion years is but the blink of an eye. Great thoughts here! no more charaters

Hi terrence, welcome to the soup, and i hope you find for yourself a very comfortable seat here! I don't believe in theistic evolution because 1) evolution doesn't need complimented by god or anything else, because 2) it all boils down to god's existence which you can't prove as it is by faith, and because 3) evolution is enough for me. I don't need any other idea apart from evolution because when i read darwin first, i was met in a very complete, all-encompassing way and that taught me about the integrity of the theory. If you put god with a beautiful building like the Houses of Parliament, then god will look better than if you derive meaning from the combination of god and something ugly like a Blobfish. Combinatory meaning requires that both elements stand for discernment purposes, and here god doesn’t stand as existing. But if you put god beside evolution god will look
