Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostThis is new, and confusing, also needs clarification.
I would say that I believe, or accept, evolution. But that belief is based on the theological idea that G-d's creation will necessarily reveal some things about the divine and nature itself; which is why nature is sometimes called a type of divine revelation. Then other theological beliefs are also brought in, such as whether the Lord would use natural processes to account for the presence of man.
An example: Once upon a time, the scientific theory of plate tectonics was rejected and ridiculed as a fanciful theory. But over time, it is accepted and (I think) universally held. It is worth noting that the scientists do not see it as a significant change in world view, nothing like moving from atheism to theism. If scientific consensus changes, my beliefs, or acceptance, would likely follow, if I could accept the explanations for the change (I am not a scientist).Last edited by simplicio; 12-18-2019, 06:54 AM.

Can the Lord use natural processes to achieve his goals of creating the human race? Can the Lord use the free will of humans to achieve his goals for His plan of salvation? Did Mary have a choice in her role for carrying Jesus in her womb? The arguments of the first question carry over to the other questions. The differences between Evo and yec are as stark as the differences between Catholic and Protestants.
