    Acts 1:4

    Gathering them together, He [Jesus] commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me

    Kinds is a creationist term with no basis in science.

    When Darwin wrote On The Origin of Species, he had a lot of ideas and conjecture on how this immense variety of life came about. But what evidence do we now have that his ideas were correct?

    If evolution were true, and humans and chimps did have a common ancestor, we would expect to find something that is half-monkey/half-man.

    The Bible says many things that are not flattering for a story one would make up about God's chosen people. https://crossexamined.org/the-bible-embarrassing-and-true-part-1/

    Fossils and genetics.

    Only if you have no scientific one-offs or training, and you are a creationist nut.

    I'm very well educated on the fact that faith without works is dead. But, the fact is, through faith in Jesus Christ with repentance will get a person into Heaven without all the work they could have done. There are three degrees of heaven, Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial. The Sun, mood and starts as is in 1Cor. chapter 15. The two lower degrees or kingdoms of heaven are whose who were not valiant in their testimonies and did not do all they could have (good works). Especially the lowest kingdom of heaven. What also is needed is the proper ordinances done by those with proper authority. None of this has anything to do with why more and more young people are somehow developing same-sex attractions than ever before. In my opinion, it's because more and more media and politicians are throwing homosexuality in their faces and it's confusing them of what is natural and what is not and evil.

    Because evolution is said to have happened in the past, we have to look to paleontology, the science of the study of fossils, to find evidence on the history of life. Well-known French paleontologist Pierre-Paul Grasse explains in Evolution of Living Organisms

    Naturalists must remember that the process of evolution is revealed only through fossil forms. Only paleontology can provide them with the evidence of evolution and reveal its course of mechanisms.

    Whether the theory of evolution is a fable or a fact rests on the fossil evidence. If evolution were true, the fossil record should reveal millions of transitional forms, as life gradually evolved from one species to another. Darwin understood that evolutionary theory was dependent on these "missing links." He wrote in Origin of Species:

    When you write a letter, do you write the letter, or does the pen? Obviously you do; the pen is merely the instrument you use. God used men as instruments to write His "letter" to humanity. They ranged from kings to common fishermen, but the 66 books of the Bible were all given by inspiration of God. Evidence that this is no ordinary book can be seen with a quick study of its prophecies, among other things.

    The God of the Bible is holy and gracious and loving and just and the Bible has historical proof. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False Religions/shintoism.htm

    Before you said that the God - aka "the Father" was a Pagan God - now you say this God is Holy.

    You need to stop reading the Satanic Bible mate - your thoughts are all twisted and confused.

    The theory of evolution is not exclusively dependent on fossil evidence.
    Science has moved way past Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, which is nowadays included in a set of theories from a wide field of scientific study, called the Modern Synthesis, which collectively explain how evolution occurs.

    Shintoism has no historical proof and the gods of Shintoism aren't holy and just. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False Religions/shintoism.htm

    None of this is scientifically accurate

    None of this has anything to do with the fact the Bible is a book of fiction

    Darwin also acknowledged that the absence of intermediates put his theory in doubt, but he attributed their lack to the scarcity of fossils at that time-and he had faith that they would eventually be found. However, nearly 150 years later, still nothing has shown up.

    Evolution is both theory and fact.
    It is an incontrovertible fact that organisms have evolved during the history of life on Earth. Biologists have identified and investigated mechanisms that can explain the major patterns of change.

    Prophecies from the Old and New Testaments that have been fulfilled also add credibility to the Bible. The Scriptures predicted the rise and fall of great empires like Greece and Rome (Daniel 2:39, 40).
