Evolution vs Creation

Evolution vs Creation
We have seen the Evolution in the micro and macro world and it has been documented in the fossils over billions of years. And the mechanism has been known to Scientists, Geologists, and Biologists, based on evidence through the study of Fossils in layers of precipitations, the Presence of rudimentary functionless organs in animals and humans, Embryology, and DNA . .... Very good examples of the observable immediate change in kinds of same species are; Scientists have observed birds on the Galapagos Islands change the shape of their beaks over only 5 years to adapt to dry weather and lack of small-sized seeds. Frogs and some reptiles have been observed to change its sex from males to females based on the environment and the need to reproduce. The cross breeding between different spices like a horse and a donkey is resulting in a Mule, an animal different from the origin. The Russian biologist Dmitry Belyaev was able to selectively breed domesticated foxes from wild foxes over only 30 years. They were tamed, looked, behaved and even barked like dogs.
Imagine if this can happen immediately or over a few years, what can happen over millions of years? Change of kinds and species is observed in the fossils by Geologists and it happens over millions of years. It can be explained by gradual or sudden mutations of DNA of ONLY SOME not all individuals of a kind leading to modification, adaptation and or extinction. DNA can mutate due to many reasons during its replication or because of radiation like X-rays or Gama rays which exist in the universe. Domestic Dogs DNA is almost identical to wolves and there are no Domestic Dogs’ fossils before 10 thousand years ago. Does that mean dogs have evolved from wolves or God continues to create new species and just had specifically created dogs 10 000 years ago?
Creationism states the universe and life have been created suddenly 6000 years ago without mutation, adaptation or change. Creationism claims millions and millions of animals fit into one ship before the flood 5000 years ago. Creationism usually tries to piggyback on the missing links and claim it is the work of God until missing links are found then move to the next missing link. It has no palpable scientific evidence what so ever and it is too easy and too simple to explain the complexity of the universe and the vast variation of creatures. Creationism basically means it is what it is, God made it this way, I don't know and no one else will ever know. No further questions.


Some don’t accept the Evolution just because they have not had enough information yet.

How Slavery Was Justified by Religion

How Slavery Was Justified by Religion
We should be worried about the return of slavery in the 21st century under the Islamic Laws at the hands of the Islamic terrorists. Slavery is still supported in the Sharia law of Islam
However, historically, The Church supported Slavery for 100s of years. It stopped supporting slavery after it was banned from the world 150 years ago not before.

Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus have endless Verses about how the sons of Ham will be slaves for the sons of Shem and Japheth. The roles of slavery and how to enslave the enemies and even the Hebrose. It was ok to separate a slave from his wife and children because they still belonged to his master. It was the law to sell a man, his wife, and children to pay off a debt. But let's not talk about the Old Testament. Slavery was justified by the New Testament and practiced in the Americas by Christians for 400 years.In Mathew 18:21, Jesus parables had many slave stories as an ordinary way of life. It included a slave, his wife, and his children being sold as a standard way to pay off debt. Jesus did not condemn slavery but used it as a part of life in his parables. In Luke, Chapter 7, verse 2: 1 Peter 2:18 “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” Colossians, chapter 3, verse 22: "Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever your task, work heartily." Lincoln was Christian, and the civil war was not mainly about slavery. Lincoln did not free the slaves in America because he was Christian but because of the economic need in the north. The Civil War was about the industrial states and the factories in the north needing the resources in the south and the unity of the country, and stability of the economic power. The Union did not need slaves to work the factories, but the south required them to work the plantations. Like all wars, it was all about money. Even though, the Ameican revolution and the founding fathers'-100 years earlier- based their movement on Judeo-Christian principals, valued the 10 commandments. The forefathers founded the independence on "All men are created equal... have the right to the pursuit of happiness"... and over time the Americans added "one nation under God.. in God we trust...God bless America," and so on, the founding fathers did not free the slaves. George Washington himself owned slavesIt is true, the founding fathers separated Church from State, and they were mostly Christians. They were divided into 3 groups. A small group left the Judeo-Christian tradition and became advocates of enlightenment (Deism) like Ethan Allen and Thomas Paine. A group remained traditional Christians believing in the supernatural and divinity of Jesus like Samual Adams, Patrik Henery, and John Jay. And the most significant group stayed loyal to the traditional Judeo-Christian faith with less belief in the supernaturals like Benjamin Franklin and James Monroe on the skeptical left and John Adams and George Washington on the conservative right side. None of the founding fathers did free the slaves. The pursuit of happiness was a part of the declaration of independence “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Apparently, the founding fathers believed in a creator how created all men equal with the right to life, liberty, and happiness except for the blacks! In God, we trust, one nation under God, and God bless America are phrases added on a continuum with the general American Judeo-Christian principals. Unless you propose the Principals of the American Revolution and the founding fathers had nothing to do with Judeo-Christianity and the Americans became gradually religious later and added these phrases. Anyhow, some of these phrases were added during the KKK era, times of severe persecution, inequality, and the segregation of the blacks.Jesus accomplished by modifying Moses' old Laws to the new Laws. Jesus almost destroyed the old law and changed or evolved the laws to the new testament. On the same token, if Judaism was OK for more than 2000 years ago and Jesus had to dramatically modify it because it was not complete, or People were not ready, then why not Christianity and other religions can be significantly changed 2000 years later because people are prepared for more or better.There is a contradiction between the old and the new testaments. But somehow the real religious people will disagree. The old bible was written about 500 BC, not 4000 BC. The first new testament was written about 60 AD. John was written about 90 AD.  The most potent roles of Christianity was written by Paul, who is not a disciple. The most powerful founder of Christianity was Emperor Constantine 325 AD. He collected a few Bibles that agreed with each other and burned thousands of Bibles which were controversial because He wanted to unite the empire. If religions evolve, then beliefs are not appropriate at all times, which is a concept no religion accepts! If religion is relevant for the past but not for now, then religion sounds like the evolution, which contradicts any religious belief. It is contradictory, like trying to modify and justify ancient knowledge to match new learning and discovery like saying the earth is flat, but it has always has been a sphere Some may say, but Christianity is different and is based on the belief of the true God who brought us salvation through the sacrifice of his only Son. Sounds very nice, but don't most religions claim the same based on different ideas? Unfortunately, faith is mostly based on where and when you are born. The religion we are born in is usually the correct belief and different from all others, and it worships the true God.  1 billion Hindus, 1 billion Buddhist, 1.6 Billion Muslims, 2.3 billion Christians divided into Evangelicals, Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Baptists, Jehovah's, Mormons and so on.  Belief is the end of logic.
Jesus cured the Centurion's slave as a normal thing. He did not condemn slavery or ordered the centurion to give him his freedom.
Titus, chapter 2 verse 9: "Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to be refractory, nor to pilfer, but to show entire and true fidelity."

I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.



I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Mathew 5:17

Yet, Jesus abolished Polygamy, Divorce, Eye for an Eye, Hating the Enemy, Punishing or Stoning the Sinners, Killing violators of the Sabbath, Revenge, Sacrificing animals for sins, and the Power of the Priests and Rabies over people. He almost demolished the Jewish laws and replaced it by Christianity.   

He supposed to have cured the sick with infections and fevers but Did not Teach them about Microbes and how to avoid disease. He even somehow did not discourage his disciples from not washing their hands before eating. He supposed to have had cast demons out of the Schizophrenics and the Epileptics, but He did not explain it is not demon possession because of sin, but it is just a disease. He did not Claim Which crafting does not exist and Christians burned women alive for hundreds of years.

He did not abolish Slavery or Women Inequality and subjugation. Slavery was abolished by man only 150 years ago. Women fought for equality for a 100 year, and many still suffer inequality in the Christian societies until today. In the traditional Churches, Women are not allowed in the altar room, not allowed to preach in the Church, and not permitted communion when menstruating. Jesus said slaughter those who do not want me to be their king. He said he is not bringing peace but Sawrd and he came to set the earth on fire 
On slavery, "Slaves submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel" 1 Peter 2:18

About women,  "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14)

About who do not believe in him, "But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me." Luke 19:27.

About peace, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." Mathew 10:34.       

Bring sword, emove peace and make men slay each other, "Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword" Revelation 6:4 

Set the world on fire, "I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning!" Luke 12:49. 

Scorch people with fire, "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire" Revelation 18:8

What does the bible say about women?

What does the bible say about women?
( 1 Timothy 2:12) 
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” 

"Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." 

(Ephesians 5:22) 
“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” 


"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean." 
(Leviticus 12:2)
"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days." 
Leviticus 15:19-33


19 “Whenever a woman has her menstrual period, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her during that time will be unclean until evening. 
20 Anything on which the woman lies or sits during the time of her period will be unclean. 





21 If any of you touch her bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening. 


22 If you touch any object she has sat on, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening. 
23 This includes her bed or any other object she has sat on; you will be unclean until evening if you touch it. 

24 If a man has sexual intercourse with her and her blood touches him, her menstrual impurity will be transmitted to him. He will remain unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will be unclean.
32 These are the instructions for dealing with anyone who has a bodily discharge—a man who is unclean because of emission of semen 
33 or a woman during her menstrual period. It applies to any man or woman who has a bodily discharge, and to a man who has sexual intercourse with a woman who is ceremonially unclean.”
