      [continued from previous message]              >>>>>>>>>>>>> Where in that are they are denying that natural mechanisms were       >>>>>>>>>>>>> involved in some of that evolution?       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> They are like Behe and claiming that their god is needed to do a       >>>>>>>>>>>> specific thing that they claim the Bible tells them so.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> What do you not get? The reasoning is no different from Behe       claiming       >>>>>>>>>>>> that some god is needed to create the flagellum.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> They obviously have other feelings       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> about what are not "established findings of modern science."       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>> So what does it matter what they think about things outside of       >>>>>>>>>>>>> science, how is that contradicting science?       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> They are claiming that their understanding of science can be made       to       >>>>>>>>>>>> conform to their literal interpretations of the Bible. It is the       same       >>>>>>>>>>>> claim that the ID perps make except they agree that biological       evolution       >>>>>>>>>>>> is a fact of nature. Some of them still think like Behe.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Not only       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> that, but as I indicated there are somethings about evolution       that have       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> not been established because they claim to be tweekers like       Behe, and       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> their god has been tweeking things in order to make humans into       his own       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> image.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm still waiting for an example of those tweekers. And why do       you       >>>>>>>>>>>>> keep bringing Behe into it? He has nothing to do with Biologos       or they       >>>>>>>>>>>>> with him. They actually have a lengthy article about his       "Darwin's       >>>>>>>>>>>>> Black Box" book where they go through his arguments one by one       and       >>>>>>>>>>>>> show how they don't stand up.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> How do you expect god to have made man in his own image without       >>>>>>>>>>>> tweeking? They likely even differ in what they think image means.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>> https://biologos.org/common-questions/how-can-evol       tion-account-for-the-complexity-of-life-on-earth-today       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The example was in their description of what they       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> believed. They believe that the Bible is the "inspired and       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> authroitative word of God" and "First, that God created all       things,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> including human beings in his own image.". You have to read       their web       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> site to learn that some of them are tweekers that claim that       their god       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was involved in guiding the evolution of life on earth.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have read their web site and I see nothing anywhere about       forcing       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> biological evolution into conforming with their       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Biblical interpretation. Feel free to point it out if I have       missed       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> You must have missed the part about tweekers,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>> It's a big site and I can't find anything about tweekers. Please       quote       >>>>>>>>>>>>> what they actually say or at least point me to the actual part       of the       >>>>>>>>>>>>> site where they say it.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> From the link that I originally put up:       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> https://biologos.org/common-questions/how-is-biolog       s-different-from-evolutionism-intelligent-design-and-creationism       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> QUOTE:       >>>>>>>>>>>> BioLogos believes that science is limited to explaining the       natural       >>>>>>>>>>>> world, and that supernatural events like miracles are part of       reality too.       >>>>>>>>>>>> END QUOTE:       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> https://biologos.org/common-questions/what-is-evolu       ionary-creation       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> This comes after the quote about evolutionary creationism that I       >>>>>>>>>>>> originally put up.       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> QUOTE:       >>>>>>>>>>>> We believe that God acts purposefully in creation, just as he       does in       >>>>>>>>>>>> our lives, and that he continues to actively uphold and sustain       creation.       >>>>>>>>>>>> END QUOTE:       >>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>> Tweekers acting purposefully in creation that they include life       as part       >>>>>>>>>>>> of the creation.

Made in his own       image       >>>>>>>>>> is a Biblical interpretation, and they claim that biological       evolution       >>>>>>>>>> was used to do that. It is no different from Behe claiming that       his god       >>>>>>>>>> was responsible for creating the flagellum in an evolutionary       context.       >>>>>>>>>> There is no evidence that some god used evolution to do any such       thing.       >>>>>>>>>> They have no other means than Beheian science denial to support any       god       >>>>>>>>>> involvement in the evolution of humans in any specific way. There       is no       >>>>>>>>>> scientific evidence that humans evolved to be what they are due to       the       >>>>>>>>>> influence of some god. If they believe that there is, they are in       the       >>>>>>>>>> same category of science denial as Behe. What do the other quotes       tell       >>>>>>>>>> you about their adherence with literal Biblical interpretations.        Behe       >>>>>>>>>> lies about why he puts up his denial, but these guys say straight       out       >>>>>>>>>> that they believe what they believe because the Bible tells them so.       >>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>> You still can't give even a single example of the things you have       >>>>>>>>> accused them of.
