Pigs flying has never been observed. Pigs with wings have never been observed. Macro-evolution has never been observed, even once. The mechanism underlying it, mutations that cause an increase in information, has never been observed, even once.

Q: What about gene duplication? What does the scientific article detailing this say?A: The article says that gene duplication "may have played a key part in... producing the human species" and it also says, "For a duplicated gene to evolve a new fun…
Please be reassured that I have researched this topic in depth- I have always wanted to get to the bottom of it ever since I studied Advanced Level Biology. I am trying to give you the benefit of much research- I am not just trying to argue. I have …
Dear brothers
You are unable to accept anything I say because it is the opposite of everything you have been hearing all your life- you have been taught that evolution is a scientific fact and also that religion is anti-science.
In order for us to …
Dear Remnkimi
don't worry about accusing me, I'm quite used to it by now- you are the third person to dialogue with me and the third to accuse me.
I remembered today a conversation I had a couple of years ago with a couple of atheists in an online f…
Of course I am not saying that the whole of science is a conspiracy- I love science, but true scientific discoveries, not assumptions that are dressed up and taught as facts.If you have read what I have read and listened to what I have listened to b…
Dear Remnkimi
Please don't overcomplicate what I am trying to say- I just used the criminal as an example, to show that yes, everything evolution says is consistent - for example they say that 98% of the dna of a chimp and man are the same and the a…
So don't be surprised when you hear the word of God being undermined- that has been the work of the ruler of this world ever since he said to our mother Eve, "Has God indeed said, '... '?" (Gen.31). She did not resist him, she was not steadfast in t…
Dear Kata
Saint Paul tells us that, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good…
Regarding Epicurean philosophy, I am not misleading anybody. I listed what Saint Athanasius wrote and also listed how the dictionary defined it. You can draw your own conclusion. Saint Athanasius also said people among whom were the Epicureans. Ther…
Regarding verifying evolution by the techniques used to determine the degrees of relationships between humans or living things. Well, it depends on how you interpret this data. You could also interpret it to be the degree of common design or common …
You told me that you think that an increase in genetic information has something to do with gene duplication which is what the scientific article detailed. As a medical doctor, you must be familiar with the fact that gene duplication leads to many d…
My dear Mina
The Holy Bible lightens up our way in the darkness of this world with the teaching, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (Prov.14:12)(Prov.16:25). To Eve, when she looked to the tree after Satan ha…
Happy New Year to you too Mabsoota!
Wow! What formidable faith is this? I wish I had even a tiny portion of their faith.Their holy blessings and prayers be with us.
Indeed, it would be lovely to know who had these amazing feelings.
Hope we find out!…
Dear Mina
great to hear from you!
I feel it would be better to continue the discussion here on the forum, as I don't feel it's fair on Zoxasi that he hears only one side of the story. Also, perhaps others are interested in following the discussion?…
As an Orthodox Christian, and if I were any denomination, I see the theory of evolution as diametrically opposed to my Christian faith. It is against our understanding of God. It is incompatible with the whole Scriptures, from the Old Testament to t…
I am sorry if you do not like me talking about definitions- to be honest it really doesn't matter what definition it is given, because it never happened, it's a hoax, it's a deception, it's a lie, and it grieves me that people fall for it.
In 'On t…
Dear Katanikhorus
you seem to keep bringing up geocentism which is something I am totally ignorant of, that is why I have not addressed it. My limited knowledge is that some people in the Catholic Church came to the conclusion from some verses from …
Dear katanikhoros
I wish you and everyone here a very happy and blessed Feast of the Nayrouze, the feast of the martyrs.I pray that we may have a portion of their faith. Those who were martyred under Diocletian for example, had neither seen Christ p…
"Is Evolution feasible as a scientific theory or not?"
As @kahan said well at the beginning, "Evolution is a hypothesis, a theory at best. It is not a scientific fact". Indeed, evolution is a hypothesis as it's really an ancient philosophy . Yet it…
Regarding the words of Saint Athanasius about the Epicurean philosophy of origins, you can read the details of the Epicurean philosophy from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
Epicurus (341–270 B.C.E.) was a complete and interdependent system,…
Firstly, I have to define that what I mean by 'evolution' is the theory that from an amoeba came man.
I would just like to summarise what the evolutionists have said above:
1. Science has a commitment to materialism and cannot allow anything Divine …
Please watch this explanation of why theistic evolution (the idea that God created through evolution) is a contradiction in terms- notethat he says "In the science education culture, evolution means a purposeless, material mechanism"-
please do …
In reply to your words about Saint Athanasius,
St. Athanasius is not refuting how creation might have happened, but that IT happened.
On the contrary, he is going into detail of refuting that how they believed it happened does not makeany sense. H…
Michael Ruse, professor of philosophy and zoology at the University of Guelph, Canada, says,
‘Evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion—a full-fledged alternati…
Dear katanikhoros
In reply to your words, This is a common misunderstanding that anti-evolutionists have with evolutionary theory, they equate evolution with materialism. They are not the same thing, evolution is merely an honest scientific theory o…
By the grace of God, I will answer the points made since I joined the discussion, so will reply to the following:1. "theologically, evolution does not contradict Orthodoxy"2. mutations, gene duplication3. video about the genre of the Genesis account…
Allegorical or Metaphorical?
Regarding the
Church Fathers interpretation of Scripture, we must discern whether their
contemplations were allegorical or metaphorical. In the metaphorical way of
contemplation the literality of the account is not being…
3. St Athanasius Confirms that Death was a Consequence of the Fall
The continuation of part three has already been quoted earlier on May 22:
“For God is good—or rather, of all goodness He is Fountainhead,
and it is impossible for one who is good to…
