40 Ignorant People Getting Shut Down With Science Facts

Yes, but Christianity does actually teach that all humans have the potential to do evil baked into their nature, so they should believe that "unborn children could be evil". So there's no contradiction there. Even from a secular perspective, this would seem to be a true thing about humanity, as it happens.

dear atheists, metaphors are a widely used trend in the bible, not all events happened exactly as described.

Your argument also appears to imply that God botherers are inconsistent in embracing the flood story because it implies they accept unborn children can be evil [which they do] and that therefore this weakens their anti-abortion position. I have never heard a pro-choice argument made on the grounds that the unborn child could be evil. That'd be a tough case to make- we all know that yes, it could. But I'm not sure it has given any evidence in utero, and it's not one of the standard justifications used when applying.

Paul.... Yeah, maybe God thinks unborn children can be evil. So? That doesn't give people an excuse to go and kill them, since the unborn haven't even done anything yet. This isn't Minority Report.

10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac. 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[d] 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[e] 14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f] - Romans 9:10-15

Uh, yeah. But Christianity [and not only it] does teach that all humans have the potential to do evil baked into them at conception. And it does seem to be a true thing about humanity, even without the religious lens. So they're right on that, at least. Even if they invented a series of myths in the absence of knowledge of genetics, and had to invent a spiritual source of evil and/or take the Aristotelian approach that evil is merely lack of connection to the Good, because unwilling to quite entirely face some darker truths about humans [this is common]. So, sure, if one strips down the essence and eliminates all the, you know, details, of the flood myth, it might amount to the simple "God drowned everyone because they were evil and that included unborn and born children". And that would be no contradiction- all humans have the potential to do evil, and children have shown they can be when quite young, and Christianity knows that.

Well if there's ever an entity who knows the evil of humans, it would be an all powerful God.

@Paul K Johnson .... You are my new hero. Thank you. Can i use that on my neighbor who goes to a church where they handle snakes to "prove the Spirit is with them"?

Ummmmm, how did we go from dinosaurs to abortion?? Just wondering

We don’t have God for that. Even tho we don’t understand why He decided to save just one family, we can be thankful that He decides to save anyone at all. I mean, God is so perfect and we’re not so we’re quite lucky to be alive rn. When I get to heaven I know I’m going to ask God why He only saved one family then.

I suppose that makes sense where you come from, but we're on MY planet now.

Repent and find Jesus

And Noah had only 3 sons, so they had to mate with their mother...

Next time some pro-life person spews their nonsense at me, i’m using this argument

Also that tiny ark had rains 60 times more powerful then what can bring down anything

Yeah, we do

I love that term "God-botherers" what an apt description!

I'm going to ignore that "no scientific evidence of a flood" part. And apparently the world really needed a fresh start. I don't know the reason why he chose that over another solution, but the world has never been 100% evil again. I know it sounds horrible at face value, but he had his reasoning.

I think you missed what was happening with Noah's Ark

Yes they probably evolved into turkeys and chickens too, and turtles have existed for so long some animals are just champions of survival

Faith isn’t fear, but you’ll get that eventually. And we donate to help our pastors feed their families. They aren’t all TV pastors with massive houses you know. And please be respectful, we’re trying to have a level debate.

I know the difference between right and wrong and i dont need a man of the cloth telling me. i find myself to be a good caring person that will help anyone with practically anything. If i have done wrong within my life i at least know that i have done more right than wrong!
