One Can Accept Evolution as True While Simultaneously Believing in a Deity or Higher Power (God)

Accepted. Id like to thank my opponent for this debate. With that said I presume my opponent wants me to start with my argument, in order to have multiple rebuttals. Evolution is an ongoing process The theory of evolution is an ongoing process, never complete. In essence its possible a new creation can evolve any day now. Although a statement like the one above can easily be countered by the question "why, in the span of mankind, hasn't evolution. been witnessed?" It is irrellavant to my arguement. What is relevant is the the context of the question. As stated above, one could presume that both parties agree that evolution is an ongoing process. And one can conclude that both parties agree that a new creation is possible. But what does the bibe say about this new creation? Kjv Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Here in this example we see GOD's work, regarding creation, was complete. Hmmm did you notice what I noticed? In all truthfulness, couldn't that work refer to, a "foundation" or "basis", of which could flourish or evolve into something new? I mean he is an all powerful GOD why couldn't he create something that evolve into something new? Well let's take a look at what the bible says. Genesis 2:19 ...and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof, Ok so Adam named all the animals but is it possible some animales weren't living during Adams day? Not according to the bible. Ecclesiastes 1:9 the thing that hath been, it is that which shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Finally its stated. There is no new thing under the sun. I assume no new thing refers to creations too. But one could say man creates new things everyday. Sorry for the confusion but, that could be a legitimate statement, except for the fact man has no proof of whether or not he's simply recreating something that we lost knowledge about. Which the next two verses in Ecclesiastes choose to adress. Ecclesiastes 1:10 is there anything where of it may be said, see, this is new? It hath already been of old time which was before us. Seems here even the people of the old testament knew certain knowledges of the past were lost and yet to be rediscovered. Movin on to the next verse. Ecclesiastes 1:11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any rembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. Here again GOD confirms that "former things"(which includes knowledge of creations) will not be remebered. And if and when they are rediscoverd they may as easily be forgotten in the future. Evolution claims man evolved from an ape like being. The bible, once again says different. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Isiah 45:12 ...I have made the Earth, and created man upon it. Closer observation of the above verses show GOD created man. There are other scriptures in Genesis and thruout the bible which show man was a distinct creation, seperate from animals and any other creation, which GOD had created. We know this because of all his creations, only humans have his image. To reduce us down to apes is not much of an GODly image. Furthermore Genesis 1:28 reads "...and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Hmmm sounds like a regular old "planet of the apes" according to evolution. I mean apes did have dominion over all living creatures at somepoint right? Contrary to popular belief, NO! Sorry evolution. Now, since GOD cannot lie : Titus 1:2 in hpe of eternal life,which God, that cannot lie promised before the world began Hebrews 6:18 ...in which it was impossible for God to lie... We have to believe his account of what he says about creation and new things. Matthew 6:24 No man can serve to masters.... Charles Darwin is the master of evolution. Merriam websters dict.: master; a great figure of the past(as in science or arts) whose work serves as a model or ideal.2a :one having authority over another. Clearly as the above verse states, you can't believe both evolution and God coincide. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. This is why evolution can't coexist with the bible. Evolution tries to explain the unseen by showing how we arrived at mankind thru apes. This does away with faith(belief in the unseen) by revealing that unseen, which cancels out faith, which without(faith) it is impossible to please GOD.
