Witnessing Tools for Evolutionist
 
Hi team, does anyone have any references or links that I can share with a friend of mine that I've been witnessing to. He is a medical doctor who has studied genetics etc... and is adament that creation is false and that evolution must be true.

Most of the dialogue he uses is above my station of understanding so I can't answer his questions appropriately. I'm keeping my message simple but has as before, any literature you know of would be fantastic.

I don't know of any but why would evolution preclude creation from being true? All Creation really says is that God created. He could have created via evolution

Don't tell me I just read that, do you really believe that or is that a joke?

Yes I believe God is able to do anything. He is Omnipresent. Sorry you lack faith in God's ability.....or was that a joke on your part?

Thanks for a different point of view Praxeas. I guess the question needs to be asked regarding the accounts of creation in Genesis. You can either take it literally or figuratively; however, it's a hard stretch to align the Genesis account (even figuratively) with the current scientific of life spontaneously beginning out of a primordial soup.

I believe that the scripture was written a certain way for one main point... so that man could be redeemed unto God. In view of this ascertation, I have difficulty aligning the theory of our ancestors being fish, rodents and apes. It doesn't align with scripture.

I have every faith that God can do anything but one--contadict himself & his word! God said all that he created were just that, created--not evolved!
Evolution was devised by a reprobate who forsook God.
Now again, are you really serious about the quote that God used "evolution?"
I am not usually shocked at a lot of things--but this one takes the cake!

Supertone, read a book called, "Refuting Evolution" by Jonathan Sarfati.
It is written in such a way that you need not have any scientific degrees to understand the concepts he puts forth.
He shows how full of holes the Evolution thory is!

There are some Christians from the scientific community that view Genesis 1 as not literal days.

We aren't discussing whether or not God created but HOW God created.

You probably don't even know what Evolution means.

BTW do you really not know how to read or are you again joking? I didn't say "God used evolution"...yep you probably don't know what Evolution means

Whew, I'm glad I read this, Prax.......I thought you didn't like me, and that's why you were condescending and insulting to me.....but, I see you're an equal opportunity patronizer! :heeheehee
