Mishaps in Spain no.4
Submitted by tgeorge on Tue, 2006-10-10 11:41
Hello again and welcome to another addition to Mishaps in Spain, or if you prefer...edition of Mishaps in Spain. Well, my roommate, Hernan, and I were up until one last night talking about evolution. I just found out that he is an atheist and believes in evolution. Not an unlikely combination. It was rather difficult to do it in Spanish too. He was trying to justify evolution by using examples of micro evolution which I tried to explain to him was quite different that macro evolution. When I would point out to him the physical or chemical impossibility of something he would just jump on to something else. After that night I realized that the very first thing is thatthey have to be convinved that there is a higher power that exists, because if they don´t accept that then they don´t really care how wrong they are because they have chosen to believe a lie, because they don´t want to accept the truth. Another thing that I was talking to Craig and Roberto about today was our belief in the existence of God. Roberto asked me this, `^What if science did with out a doubt prove that evolution was the truth, would you still believe that God is who He says He is?^ I said that I would, but he said he wouldn´t because that would mean that God had lied. Craig on the other hand says that he believes in God, but someone who belives in evolution might be right. He believes in god, but that doesn´t mean that he is right. Me on the other hand believe also in God, but it is not just what I choose to believe, but it is the truth whether you accept it or not. The evolutionist may believe differently, but he IS wrong even if he thinks he´s not. This is how I see it. Do you see the difference of belief. It was kind of weird to think about it like that. What do you guys think? I still do not have internet down in the guys dorm. I am at the computer lab. I am leaving on a three day trip to Zaragoza tomorrow, so bye. They are kicking me off the computer now. »

christopher says:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. I Corinthians 2:14.
You are correct in recognizing that the 'athiest' cannot accept creation without accepting that there is a God. Just remember that you cannot convince Hernan that there is a God -- only God can do that. Your prayer for him unleashes God's power, and your testimony is the PR piece. Share what you have.
Have great trip to Zaragoza -- or I hope you had a great trip to Zaragoza.
