Just like all the rest, you read the beginning and skip the rest.

Probably because there is more real-world evidence for them. 😬Whilst angels appear to people and save them from time to time, evolution looks foolish when carbon dating says that a living snail is 3,000 years old....
Or when there should be millions of fossils of present, past, and in-between versions of all the creatures on the earth, but there aren't.....
Or when statistics show that there is less than 1% chance the world, with all its self sustaining systems, it's position next to the sun that a few miles one way or the other would burn us to death or freeze us, and our human bodies could be formed by "nothing and time"....
And then an angel appears to them as they pray when in a trapped car about to explode, and pulls them out.... (or some such thing happens to a trusted friend or family member)
And you wonder why they would believe in angels more.
If evolution is a theory and a flawed, incomplete one at that, and people are experiencing REAL ANGELS in their lives, then as much as you'd like to pretend they aren't there....
those 70% of people will choose to believe in angels and not evolution.
(same as demons in the other thread)
You may argue against God, the Bible, Christ, angels, demons, and anything else that you like, and quote studies and figures.....
but it won't mean jack-shit to those people who have experienced those things to be real in their lives.
If you could, Voltaire and Darwin would have won this debate long ago.
But the real power of God, and his son Jesus who saved us, and the SUPERNATURAL power of the Holy Spirit evident in people today, remains.
Just as it always has, just as it always will.
Apparently the americans who believe more in angels than in evolution prefer REAL fact to "as near to fact as we can get".
Carbon dating is innacurate, this is proven, there aren't the abundance of fossils that should be found if evolution was true, and as it stands today, every statistician and scientist will tell you that the world as it is, in perfect balance in it's natural systems of life, has about a 1% chance of "Just happening, just evolving out of empty space."
You know these things Shaky, and when somebody else who knows them THEN sees an angel is it really hard to believe that they believe in angels and not evolution?
More to the point, wouldn't that constitute "real-world evidence" at least to them personally in thier own lives, that angels are real and evolution is still a THEORY.
Yes, of course it would.
It's odd because many will say if your life is a breeze then god must be on your side, but it there is trouble then you are being tested by god.
Then the other belief is If your life is a breeze then you must not be doing gods will because if you are then satan will be making your life hell. You must repent so that god can protect you from him.
Just like the belief that for example: You are trying to get to a meeting and everything is going wrong. You get a flat tire, a ticket, there is an accident that will make you late......One view is You must really try to get to that meeting because satan is trying to make it so you won't show up. He's throwing obstacles in your way.
The other view is, you probably shouldn't go because god is throwing obstacles.

I just saw a show the other day on how Darwin was wrong and they showed that Darwin was right. They showed how all those things you are saying are wrong.
