Religion

How does one reconcile the fact that his ancestors are chimpanzees and his belief that there is a god?

Evolution is a mental illness.

...

I don't really see the problem with believing in both.

They're not mutually exclusive, retard.

Not an argument.

Every religion claims divine origins. It's one of the main elements of religion.

>there are still people who can't wrap their heads around evolution

>ancestors are chimps

That's not how it works you fucking brain dead. You failed fifth grade science.

>the fact that his ancestors are chimpanzees

American education everyone

Sure you're objectively correct, but it was a very chimp like creature.

And if you believe everything came from some divine origin, where is the problem?

> God created the universe.
> Humans are part of the universe.
> Therefore God created humans.

Not difficult brah.

You can still argue that God directed evolution. Natural selection isn't random but mutations are as far as we can tell, that's where God could come in. Or he could have seeded the universe.
Obviously, that does mean you can't take the literal interpretation of Genesis. But OP simply said he believed in a God.

Evolution is not directed besides by natural selection, and mutations are effectively random.

Artificial selection as well.

If we share an ancestor with the chimpanzees, how come we can't find it?

No sensible believes that chimpanzees are our ancestors
Only retarded christfags with no understanding of the concept of Evolution think that

Seriously, everyone knows we came from bonobos

sorry, i mean a "chimp like human ancestor"

Because the vast majority of living things are never fossilized, it's actually extremely rare. We know what became before and after, not hard to fill in the blank.

Certainly a much more human face.

If I were to guess, I would say our common ancestor looked most like a bonobo.

Yes of course I don't really believe in a God but I guess you could argue the seemingly random mutations where directed by God if you really have to believe that God played a more direct part in our creation.

Goooood goy!

Don't you know humans are basically cousins, no, brothers!, with bonobos, and that this justifies every sexual behaviour except non-pedophilic heterosexual monogamy?

Evolution can teach us so many wonderful things! But if you get the idea that it explains racial disparities, you're an evil Nazi and we'll take away your good goy points and prizes!

simple.
god designed life to evolve over time
predestined whatever chain of species that eventually evolved into humans
when this chain of species finally reached homosapien level He intervened and granted advanced intelligence and a soul
thus adam and eve
though adam and eve may just be metaphorical

something like this OP
doesn't have to be perfect but science and religion are not irreconcilable

Go suck a potato, Fergus

Lol you're a fuckin idiot, next you're going to claim that the sky being blue is a jewish conspiracy. Seek help.

Religion (Christianity specifically) doesn't rule out evolution and/or modern science.

Retarded Christians AND atheists believe this, but it is not so.

Whether you're secular or not, the Bible is full of metaphor and imagery to convey a message that was far beyond the capacity of human understanding at the time.

Remember, most people couldn't read or write until the last 200 years or so. Imagine trying to explain the theory of evolution to a shepherd 6000 years ago.

>Sky is blue with white clouds
>Israel flag is blue and white

It's just funny that, in the modern age, religious people are forced to come to terms with the fact that their ilk, for millennia, have believed wholeheartedly that humans came directly from God and were created to be distinct from all other animals. Now they have to realize that we are genetically almost identical to apes. So, yeah, they could find a way to reconcile it, but I always like to point out what lunacy it is.

Then there's this little buddy. Researchers and scientists have contributed infinitely more to the wellbeing of mankind than robed pedophiles ever will by praying to air. Although I do believe jews are a nuisance at times, to believe evolution is a conspiracy is the chief form of autism

Yeah it is, God does become this ever receding pocket of ignorance. It's just that I would rather have the right become the ones who support science and evidence, against the lies of the left.
If they just believe in a God, meh, not a big deal. Could even be helpful.

I wasn't objecting to evolution, I was objecting to politicised PC narratives of it, and satirising them.

Learn to read, burgerfats.

One designer made them all.

truth is constant

>genetically identical to apes
we share as much genes with apes as we do with pigs
surprise surprise mammals just tend to have really similar genetic structures
it doesn't actually mean anything

>Retarded Christians AND atheists
Retarded Christians AND retarded atheists

fixed

>Pretending to be retarded

Sorry, it can be hard to determine trolling from religion since I'm still not entirely sure religion itself isn't a practical joke on an epic scale. Personally I don't really care what people do with their bodies as long as they are respectful. That said, I think dressing up as the opposite gender and insisting on being called a girl/boy is disrespectful to people such as parents who are trying to raise their children.

Biblical Christianity absolutely rules out evolution as it pertains to the origin of humanity

Metaphor and allegory are understood in the clear intended context, using the historical-grammatical method. When Jesus says "be salt" this is clear metaphor, when God through the prophets said "out of Adam he made Eve" the clear intent is literal

>we share as much genes with apes as we do with pigs

False, our closest ancestors are the chimp and the bonobo, no other animal is that closely related.

DNA tells us how things are related. Someone like you surely has watched a lot of Jerry Springer, you should know about paternity tests.

What an uncreative faggot.

How convenient :^)

Read the image I posted.

>some dumbass who doesn't get evolution is smug about not understanding something that 8th graders understand

He has lots of other projects

top banter m8

why did "the designer" leave in useless stuff like a tailbone and appendix? or shit like wisdom teeth, a modern problem?

did he forget to trim? or was he too lazy? how can he do an imperfect job if he is supposed to be perfect?

its an objective truth that the theory of evolution makes more sense now than a magical creator just pooping out everything

An artisan of craftsmanship if I may say so myself

fuck off thailand

See

What is the page from? It shares a message that calls into question the divine inspiration of scripture as made clear in 2 Timothy 3:16

Certainly no flaw would escape his inspection

>cant answer

>f-f-fuck off!!!

you sure convinced me buddy

how convenient, just hijack the discoveries of science and write them into the storybook. Will there be a new new testament 1000 years later with gays and trannies written in as well?

God is so loving and just, it does not matter how he made us, for he brings tranquility to all

Truly our God is the most benevolent being in the universe

gook

Our ancestors aren't chimpanzees. They're our cousins.

And simple:
Evolution is one of the mechanics of our existence. It's an inevitability that change happens.

God is not a code monkey. He does not micro-manage.

>implying infants didn't die at birth 3000 years ago

Nice argument

It's easy if you're not a protestant idiot who believes the bible should be interpreted literally at all times.

>Hijacking

It's a brief description of a long and complicated sequence of events that isn't even fully understood today.

Again, you can't expect illiterate shepherds to understand such things.

Your misunderstanding of a message doesn't invalidate it.

what?

but he is a monkey, right?

ESV study Bible.

How does that call into question the divine inspiration? It's simply stating God wanted Moses to preach those words, rather than a textbook about evolution.

The creation story is only the first few chapters of Genesis.

>God is so loving and just, it does not matter how he made us, for he brings tranquility to all

And posting an infant mortality list that implies the bible is wrong because of that fact

...

>God creates natural system
>Natural system is fucked up
>God recognizes this and uses Jesus to redeem his fucked up creation
>Babies dying invalidates scripture

Nice mental gymnastics

He isn't, my primate friend. God is something without form. That's one of the things that a lot of people mistake: they impose on God physical qualities. This is is only so that they can understand Him, but God is far more than this.

>How does one reconcile the fact that his ancestors are chimpanzees

My ancestors aren't chimpanzees

Nice argument.

That was a pro Christian post you retard.

Theres also a similarity between penises and asparaguses, and I guess this is the reason why both of them enter your mouth.

fuck off shill

Do you have evidence that fossil a from species a birthed fossil c from species c in a succesion or it is just hyperbole and roleplay based on: "oh look, I look a lot like a monkey so my mum must have fucked one".

simple: god (not its real name) lined up the dominoes and knocked one over to kick off this whole "universe" thing. either it checked in to see what's up a few thousand years ago, or there were no laws against tripping, or both

You don't because there is nothing wrong with that, we inherited great societies because of the Christian God and this thread is not redpilling nor political. So fuck you troll.

Blue whale. Venus flytrap.

Breddy gud range.

Newfag detected

Evolution is real fuckass, the plants and animals we eat every day are new species created by humans through evolution. Welcome to reality.

Do you like shitting? You need muscles attached to tailbones to shit. And whales need pelvises to mate.

Where's your universe, so that we can compare you to God?

I'd rather be any of them than you.

None did. Keep assuming the world has always been like this.

no, you are a fucking shill faggot

>hasn't realized 70% of what is taught in american schools are lies

>why did "the designer" leave in useless stuff like a tailbone and appendix?

So he could punish faggots like you, also the tailbone is fram for useless, if you don't believe me, remove it from your bode and tell me how nicely you shit afterwards.

Why do you assume you are going to be free of punishment when SPECIFICICALLY the bible adresses the issue that we live among cursed sons of the devil?

Wake me up when a horse turns into a daisy.

How are you to know that God is without form? Doesn't the bible say god created us in his image? And can you believe its not butter?

Yours might be

;)

>requires a fossil record of every microchange within a species in order to comprehend evolution
good one m8
by the way im gonna need jesus and noah and mother theresa to all perform miracles for me so i can know 4 sure god is real

>Evolution is real fuckass

Yes, a virus can mutate, so this is real.

A pile of wet dust doesn't become a dinosaur no matter how many millions of years you wait, it stays wet dust forever, deal with reality faggot, it could save your life the day you decide to evolve into a bird and jump of a cliff like the retard you are.

You are taught the water cycle in school, is that a jewish conspiracy too?

No one claims that ever happened besides strawmanning christcucks.

You'll get that from Jesus, for sure.

For very fucking sure.

>Regular pol user since 2013
>Shill

Wake me up when a lump of coal turns into a butterfly.

Abiogenesis isn't evolution, evolution isn't abiogenesis, kill yourself tonight.

>microchange within a species in order to comprehend

No it is not to "comprehend".

It is SO YOU PROVE IT.

Fucking savage

Abiogenesis is as indefensible as evolution.

>Abiogenesis isn't evolution

Oh, so you're arguing that you're not disproving then that God made man just as he is today then, since you're not willing to deal with abiogenesis.

No one claims that ever happened besides strawmannign christcucks. You ever burn a bug before? They turn into carbon.

I'm not even going to go down that road because you're too fuckin stupid to get evolution.

So nice to have a brother from Spain. I was starting to think your country was full of defective mental patients.
