<\/a><\/p>\nWhile there may be, and probably are, many variations to the theistic evolution belief system, the general idea most likely is that God either created the laws governing the universe for life to create itself and then evolve to 10 billion species we apparently have on Earth today, or He created the first \u201csimple\u201d life form and let it evolve, through some kind of Darwinian process (either guided or unguided), such as random mutations and natural selection\u2026<\/p>\n
In any case, no matter how one can look at theistic evolution, its supporters seem to want to have the better or the best of two worlds. They would like to be respected by both theists and evolution supporters\u2026 In my view, theistic evolutionists sit on the fence between theism and evolution belief systems and can, and should, \u201cget shot\u201d by both sides\u2026In other words, they should be rejected by both sides of the worldviews because of their obvious inconsistencies\u2026<\/p>\n
Theistic evolutionists belong to the large group of people who I call The Swedish Buffet Belief System<\/strong>. They want to believe in something but they would like to pick and choose themselves what they are going to believe. They want to decide what that \u201cthe truth\u201d is going to be…<\/p>\n Theistic evolutionists (and many believers today as well) remind of the lyrics of one of the songs by Benjamin Booker entitled \u201cBelieve\u201d:<\/p>\n \u201cI just want to believe in something<\/em> In any case, theistic evolution has what I call The Judas Iscariot Effect<\/em> written all over it. According to the bible, Judas Iscariot was Jesus\u2019 apostle who, just like theistic evolutionists, wanted the best of both worlds. He was following Jesus, saw many of his miracles first hand, and yet, he also decided to make a few bucks on the side by cooperating with Jesus\u2019 enemies and sold him for 30 pieces of silver…<\/p>\n In my view, theistic evolution has a trademark Judas Iscariot. Its supporters like to have the best of both worlds: As I have already mentioned it at the outset, just like Judas Iscariot, theistic evolutionists are sitting on the fence between theism and evolution, and should \u201cget shot\u201d from both sides of the worldviews\u2026 I personally think that theistic evolutionists “commit both religious and scientific suicides”<\/em> by promoting both religious and scientific inaccuracies\u2026 just to put it very lightly\u2026<\/p>\n One of the prefect examples of such inaccuracies is the promotion of the many of unfounded speculation that Adam and Eve could not have been the only two human parents of the whole human race… This unfounded notions recently got some unnecessary attention from Biologos \u201cborn-again\u201d theistic evolutionist Dennis R. Venema by means of his book\u2026 These inaccuracies however have been exposed by a biologist Richard Buggs<\/a> and some others\u2026<\/p>\n BTW: If anyone, including theistic evolutionists, has some ideas how to experimentally test the unfounded speculations based on pure assumptions, such as human mutation rate now must equal Adam and Eve\u2019s mutation rate or how to challenge the sharp population bottleneck of 8 people after Noah\u2019s flood, please speak up\u2026 I have always been puzzled by the theistic evolution belief system. It makes absolutely no sense to me at all as it clearly seems to contradict both theism and evolution \u2013 the two fundamental beliefs it is supposedly be based … Continue reading
