I have not read all the posts, but I am in college classes bieng fed the evolution theory (though technically it's not a theory, but a model, like creationism). I do not agree with the evolutionary theory, not becuase it contradicts Gods (though in the end it does) nature, as said by the original post about God bieng the God of Death, but I don't agree with it becuase its just plain out wrong.
Here is my disclaimer: Some agree with evolution and are still christians-- and thats fine, I am not trolling or hating on you, we are all christians and we are one body. There is always a chance that evolution is true, I just don't think that the chance is very high, and I suppport the evidence supporting full fleded creationism, but I can't completely deny it.
(with my disclaimer)-- Evolution is a model, Scientists use this 'theory' to interpret data, say, the fossil record, or mutations. The problem is that they can't prove evolution, they can't, my BIO 101 professer still won't prove evolution to me, but thats beside the point. Though, scientifically (ignoring the historical reference of the Bible, the most accurate, and most reliable reference accepted and denied by man, and philosophy) creatinism can not be proved either. Creatinism is a 'theory' just like evolution, but with God in it. The thing is evolution and creationism can not be observed, therefore can not be scientific, or a theory (for quotes and support you may request). BUT what scientists can do, and try to do, is use the model to interpret things happening today, as well as interpretting the past, to prove the model. If you use the model of evolution to explain something, say an animals orign, and it turned put to be correct, then the model used is reliable, which is what evolutionists try to claim. The problem that evolutionists come across is that their model doesn't work, and they have to make assumption to create data to support their own data. The beuty of this is that the creation model, works buetifully. This model has effectively described things happening today, and in the past. A part of the Creationist model is a thing called catastrophism (I think thats spelled right). What that word means is the doctrine that certain vast geological changes in the earth's history were caused by catastrophes rather than gradual evolutionary processes. Evidence gathered by various scientists (evolutionists included) found overwhelming evidence of a catastrophe that affected the entire earth and was mainly done by water............... ring any bells? Also, evolution believes that the complex things mutated from simple things, byt the secong Law of thermo-dynamics, its impossible, the second law states that in a system, a process that occurs will tend to increase the total entropy of the universe. Entrophy means disorganization, destruction, DECAY. Things die, not get better. Things change yes, but with limits, information doesnt come from nowhere (the sun's energy is not information), the information that gave us our genticic code came from God. This universe is dieing, not getting better.
Anyways, if you want to know mroe about that, I can message you some books, one book in particualr (Creation Science) explaining this stuff, complete with quotes, and info.
Also, about the original Post, even if God used Evolution, does that mean he is the God of Death, I would have to say no. God uses natural selection (which isn't evolution by the way), which helps keep nature healthy, but things die. Plants die to fertilize the next generation. Humans die in Gods name, we sacrifice ourselves for him. Christs death is how we live. God is not death, but he uses death. By death we are saved. Recall genesis, what did God say to himself after they ate the apple? He said he must cast them out so they would not eat of the tree of life and live on. God killed them, with a purpose.
another disclaimer: I habve to make the point that God is a killer, but not a murderer, there is a difference. To kill is with purpose and justified reason, to murder is to kill without justified reason (God determines justified). In the Bible, multiple times God has killed many people. The flood, the sea of reeds, the angel that struck down a thousand men, Job situation, all that was becuase of God, and had death in it, does that mean GHod is a God of death? Heavens no. For us to go to God, we must die (I am not sure about the guy that 'didn't die', cuase he was taken up) but yes, death is apart of this creation since the fall, and is wielded by God, who is not the Auther of evil but the giver of Life.
Praise the Lord Amen, and if anyone would like to speak with me feel free. I admit I am young.
