YEC About Religion

Hi Mung, # 106:

_____________________________________________
"It is the YEC approach that drags religion into the discussion. YEC literally takes its cues from materialistic assumptions of unguided evolution. God would not do it that way."
____________________________________________

It is ID, OEC, YEC, and theistic evolutionism that drags religion into the discussion, in a wide range of spiritual formats.

It is inevitable when speaking of the beginning and creation. Scripture begins: "In the beginning...."

You say, "YEC literally takes its cues from materialistic assumptions of unguided evolution." That is plain wrong. You surprise me Mung.

God literally said in stone He created, direct, fast, in kinds and in six days, all fit for

    L. Russ Bush, in his book The Advancement: Keeping the Faith in an Evolutionary Age, attempts to explain from where this shift in philosophical, scientific, and, in some cases, theological shift came. Through his book, Bush defines the shift from absolute truth to relative truth, from objective morality to relative morality, from the Creator to the process, “the Advancement.” Bush uses his book as a medium to argue that the Advancement is not sound and should not be accepted by Christians. Summary…

    Throughout this course, we were exposed to many ideas about organism classification due to evolutionary linkages, survival of the fittest and random out comes. Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory often creates conflicts with religious teachings in particular, Christianity; many Christians disagree with Darwin’s theory that “man is not the most supreme creature on earth, but humans just evolved from a single cell over long periods of time.” Faith is intangible; it could simply be a belief. Christianity is just a belief, which is the same as Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory, since both of them cannot be proven; which means nobody is wrong, therefore we should be open minded to learn from them that way we could learn more about the world.…

    1. Thesis The discovery and acceptance of Natural Selection refutes Paley’s design argument. Beyond this, Natural Selection offers new conclusions to theological problems, most of which are atheistic. Despite these plausible solutions, a skeptical mindset towards atheism should be adopted since logical arguments still remain in favor of theism.…

    Evolutionary theory of religion Evolutionary theories of religion supposed as posing a challenge to religious belief (Sosis & Kiper, 2013). Previous research explained religion as a naturalistic perspective, without call up the actual existence of supernatural agents or events (Bering, Cronk, Gray, Johnson, McCullough, Richerson & Sosis, 2007). According to Smith & Arrow (2010), evolutionists have created three theoretical camps that view religion as nonfunctional, functional, or dysfunctional. Nonfunctional theorists concluded that religion is not an adaptation but as an alternative to an evolutionary result of nonreligious adaptations (Smith & Arrow, 2010).…

    As I heard Dr. Ross clarify in this level headed discussion (which is reliable with his past lessons throughout the years), his conviction about Beginning 1 in regards to the starting point of the earth, sun, moon, and stars can be states as: "to start with God made the sky by first making the "vast egg" the little and unfathomably thick wad of matter, vitality, and space) and after that made it start to extend which, he said, happened in Beginning 1:1. For the following 9.2 billion years the universe extended and stars and worlds step by step shaped by physical and substance forms as infinite gas mists caved in because of gravity. Our sun framed around 8.7 billion years after the enormous detonation, or around 5 billion years back." I fight that Dr. Ross' understanding of Beginning 1 is unbiblical and informal. A portion of the reasons why I dismiss his affirmation that the times of creation were long times of a large number of years each and why the creation days must be comprehended as exacting, 24-hour days.…

    1) I think people doubt that God is real because they don't believe the whole he came back to life thing because it could be kinda hard to believe that Jesus died on the cross, but I fully believe that jesus really did die on the cross for my sins, and i will continue to believe this throughout my whole life. The way you answer people that have doubts say to them God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son and who believes in him will not die but rise in heaven, and also ask them to pray for one month straight for a minute every hour and then ask them to come back and tell you what has changed in their lives. 2) The way I know my faith is right is that I know that I am so blessed with good education and with an amazing family,…

    In modern times religion and science are increasingly becoming viewed as incompatible, or at least non-overlapping. Damien Keown states that “Scientific discoveries, and theories such as evolution, have challenged many traditional Christian teachings…” at the expense of making them appear “...dogmatic, irrational, and backward-looking” (119). Despite its brief history in the West, Buddhism has gained increasing popularity in part due to its frequent portrayal as an exception to the conflict between scientific and spiritual thought. Proponents of this view—deemed “Buddhist Modernists” or “Secular Buddhists”—argue that Buddhism possesses certain qualities which make it compatible with a secular view of the world, while providing a source of purpose…

    1. “The Sacrifice of Purusha” – In this narrative the Gods used Purusha to create the worlds. From Purusha came the verses and chants, the meters from that, the formula from that, and from that came horses, animals with double rows of teeth, cows, goats, and sheep. Purusha’s mind became the moon, his eye became the sun, his mouth turned into Indra and Agni, from his breath the wind was created, from his navel the atmosphere, from his head the heavens, from his feet the earth, and from his ear the cardinal directions.…

    Seely said in his article that “God made the universe for humans, not humans for the universe. Humans are the main creation, not an afterthought. Humans are made to serve God, but as stewards not as mindless slaves.” This is the foundation of what my world view is. Everything in this world, in my human life, and in civilization is a reflection of my stewardship and honor of what God has blessed me with.…

    Every religion accounts for a story of creation and each is unique in its own way. In Judeo-Christian beliefs, there are two creation accounts which are distinct and describe how God created the earth, nature and mankind. Both creation accounts are found in the book of Genesis with a specific name for each. The cosmocentric account which describes how god created the heavens and earth in seven days and the anthropocentric account which allots for the creation of mankind and how the earth was populated. Both share many differences as well as similarities which make them of equal importance and relevance.…
