I like the entire thing.
I love the part where he went back and asked about what kind they changed in too. And it was pointed out it did not change it was still a fish or it was still a bird.
I have been amazed at how many people are so against God.
Recently I was dealing with someone who does not believe and I said how can you look at a baby and not realize that Gods hand is in that little baby. Look 10 toes and 10 fingers, etc.
They said the baby is from science.
Well I have a friend who is a Christian that does not like to talk about God and church is more like I go and sit down and no one notices me since I am alone.
So I have zero fellowship with other believers. I do not like this.
What should have I said to that guy about the baby?
I enjoyed that part a lot, too.
It seems that people confuse adaptation and evolution, but they aren't the same thing.
It gives a bit of a giggle, too, because Ray Comfort has a point. The bacteria were still bacteria, fish were still fish, birds were still birds. It's true!
There are many out there today who don't believe in God and would rather not to. It's sad to see, and hard to deal with at times because you kind of want to say, "Hey, God's real!" but of course, we can't make someone believe - that's something that they need to come to on their own.
Apologetics are great for helping reveal that by using scriptural concepts and real life applications. I love learning from the Livingwaters.com website. Tons of useful information.
The church I grew up in never taught people how to share their faith and rarely did I ever because I didn't know how to defend myself when atheists would come up with the hard questions! I would sit there like a deer in the headlights kinda like, "Uh...I don't know." and start to doubt a bit.
However, learning more of the apologetics, I now understand how to answer a lot of those questions with real life examples to help people understand the point. Now that I understand those applications, I can't be shaken. It's pretty empowering to know!
I'm sorry to hear you have 0 fellowship right now. I think a lot of people are probably in the same boat after how this past year and a half has gone...
I'll tell you something...I left a church, but ended up going back, but I feel super left out of things. People will have events at the church and we aren't even invited. We feel ignored a lot. Very few people from there actually reach out to ask how we're doing. I've been discouraged with this. The longer we've been gone (because of illness and such), the more I don't want to go back. Pretty sure that isn't how it is supposed to work.

It's hard to know what to say about the baby. I mean, I get your point - looking at a baby. How there can be such a thing as a fully formed person that came from tiny cells is a miracle in itself! It is amazing.
I think what I would've done when the person said, "The baby is from science," would be to say, "Really? How is the baby from science? I want to hear your explanation." Some people realize they have already walked into a door and it has shut behind them and sometimes won't explain it.
Mention that a baby growing inside mom's belly can be explained by science, but it doesn't mean that science made the baby! Then ask the person after their science explanation say, "Okay, so that means you should be able to make a baby right now from absolutely nothing." Then they would probably say, "That's impossible! I can't do that!" And you can say, "Why not? You seem like a smart person! You should be able to whip up a baby real quick!" then they might laugh or say, "But I can't do it." Then you could say, "Then isn't it possible that there was a Creator that helped make our bodies to be able to do such a thing as reproduce that makes a baby from so little to start off with?"
Then may not answer, but you could proceed with, "When we see a large bridge, we know that there were talented architects, engineers, and construction workers that built that bridge. When we see a painting, we know that there was a painter. When we see the trees, rocks, oceans, etc. around us - it makes sense to have a Creator."
They may pull the "universe happening from nothing," but it's pretty much like a tornado sucking up a Lowe's and spitting out a Home Depot. I mean, to have something like humans come from a random sequence of cells or mutations or whatever the theory they stick with may be, how could it be random that our bodies that have so many different functions were made so randomly and that it was right on the first try? I mean, oranges don't fall out of a tree in three rows of six. Someone has to put them like that. They fall in random places - it has to be someone to place them in an order.
Just as a few ideas ^_^
