  Evolution and spirits

  by Chris Tann in

  as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.

  however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.

  i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.

  here's where it gets complicated.

  If someone, or more than one person, actually saw something supernatural, and they weren't doing drugs, didn't have mental or emotional problems, weren't sleepwalking then who am I to say they were making it up?

  I don't have that right. Just because someone does not personally believe in anything does not mean that they should bully others who have seen things into believing that they didn't.

  this kind of thread could go on forever and there may be an equal number of people who saw things and those who don't believe in them.

  all it does is breed intolerance.

  It's true for me.

  It's not my job to convince you or anyone else. I don't expect anybody to take my word for it. I don't have evidence except what I saw and heard.

  But I'm OK with that.

  I would gladly prove it to you if I could.

  FYI,

  I have personally seen one and I wasn't asleep. I was about 13 years old and it was humanoid looking with no features. Completely black figure.

  redvip,

  It is precisely this kind of response which reduces an intelligent thread to a childish one.

  Cofty,

  You will have to ask yourself if everybody in these accounts is wrong because you want them to be wrong.

  Or, you might consider they could be right, but it was their subjective experience, witnessed by others, that makes them right.

  The problem with doubters in anything supernatural, is that they refuse to consider the possibility that something bigger than themselves might actually exist and they would rather say everyone else is wrong than consider the possibility that there are things that can't be explained away by sleepwalking and meds.

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  reading the oct 1 1953 wt about gog of magog because of the posts about the changes of identity.. basic question:.

  why would satan (whether gog or not) be cast to the earth?.

  why not cast him to quadrant 4 of the galaxy?.

  I never understood why God would throw down Satan and his army of demons to this planet knowing full well the havoc they would cause on the human race.

  It's like opening all the prisons in the world and letting the prisoners out.

  God could have put Satan on Mars, but for some reason he chose Earth, hence the scripture: "Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath"

  The irony is we are to ask God in prayer to deliver us from the very Devil he threw down to this planet. I just don't get it. Something is wrong here.

  Cofty,

  I can accept that, however this remark made me chuckle

  Evolution does not contradict the existence of a god. It just leaves a creator god with nothing to do.

  We assume a creator God has nothing to do, but we don't know that.

  Finkelstein,

  Yes, somewhat in agreement. Funnily enough, I remember arguing against evolution when I was 12 years old in a science class. It was Adam and Eve.

  On another note, but still loosely affiliated with evolution and man, do you think this theory would satisfy creationists?

  There were already humans living on Earth before Adam was created. Where Genesis says, "Let us make man in our image", it wasn't talking about God(s) creating man from scratch but improving an existing human couple by tinkering with their DNA.

  It would give a satisfactory answer as to where Cain got his wife from and why he wanted to build a city for more than two people.
