Theists, if you don't even acknowledge evolution as a valid argument?

Theists, if you don't even acknowledge evolution as a valid argument, would it even matter if science could fully explain the creation of the universe? I mean, wouldn't you just dismiss that too?

    Most theists accept science and thus evolution.

    It's only the loud few that continue to deny it and insist that their books must be taken exactly as they think they should be instead. Most of them from my country, unfortunately...

    Sorry about that.

    No I'd hear you out. I already find the notion that the occurrence of evolution (which has no rhyme, reason, consciousness, or will and is yet somehow geared towards the survival of species) resulted in the development of a common ancestor of the ape which then evolved into modern mankind to be hilarious.

    You're making an extreme generalisation about theists - why is it that when atheists are generalised about they blow their tops at the offence; yet you atheists generalise theists ALL THE TIME!

    stupid question

    You know it's only the fundamental christians who fall into the 'no evolution' category eh? Most theists are not there - in fact, many are not christians at all.

    No, it wouldn't matter...

    Science is a human construct and serves to give naturalistic answers to naturalistic questions. Genesis says that creation was supernatural, and therefore beyond science.

    Science can tell us things about the world as it is NOW and make matter of fact statements, but science cannot even prove evolution.

    What evolutionists do is begin their work already under the assumption that evolution is true; when they find evidence in support of it, they keep it, and when the find evidence against it (a human foot print beside a prehistoric animals, for instance) they discard it.

    Have they explained it? and I don't mean just a presumption? Can science make Life? I don't think so only God can do that.

    really it's nearly pointless to discuss the issue,

    because it comes down to this:

    they believe in an implausible story, that's clearly made up, about super beings and flying people,

    how can you expect that anything would be convincing to them ?

    That's a question best posed to the Flat Earth Society.

    Wait. Nevermind. The fact that there still exists a Flat Earth Society answers the question for you.
