[Title: "If you feared God, you wouldn't evolve"]
Evolving is a sin. God made you with love and created you to be completely unique - different in a way that no one else is. To attempt to change that is to go against God's desire for you to be the best that you can be for His sake. Only someone who hates God, desires His creation to be changed so that there is no longer any reference to Him or His intentions.
If you fear God, do not evolve. God provided a way for us to be saved from our sins, even the sinful desire to evolve, by sending His Son to die for us on the cross. If we accept His sacrifice, we give up trying to evolve that we reflect God the way His Son reflected God, by reflecting His Son. A reflection is something that exists regardless of changes that go on around it.
When we go without evolving and God Himself (who does not evolve) does not evolve, we have known God.

I'm going to go ahead and assume he means evolve as a person, and not as a species, because... yeah, wtf. And why exactly would my "evolving" as a person (mentally, spiritually, whatever) be a sin? Because I desire to learn and better myself? Yeah, God doesn't like that.
Will you stop evolving, for heavens sake?! You are all sinners, I cannot stand it! I stopped evolving one year ago, and look what it has done to me!
Mein Gott, this has to get some award. This is just incredible, good luck I am used to some heavy shit on this site.
So gawd itself does not evolve?? Seems to me that it evolved quite a bit between the old testament and the new testament, though both of them are still full of lies. One thing that is clear, however, is that fundamentalists don't evolve intellectually; dogmatic religiosity stops a thinking mind.
you know, I think they're onto something here. Also, I think they're on something here.
Of course, as the way the world works is "evolve or die out", well, they don't have very good prospects for the future, but I don't consider that a particularly bad thing.
As in, you want individual people to choose not to evolve??! Arg!

EVOLUTION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. Goodnight.
Incidentally, you note that all humans are completely unique. If you drop the "God made them that way for a reason" bullshit, you're onto something here. All humans are unique. Some have traits that make them more likely to survive and more sexually appealing. These people have more offspring, and these traits become more common. Other people have traits that make them less able to survive and less sexually appealing. These people have fewer children, and these traits become less common. Through this process, people (and all other organisms, for that matter), become better adapted to their environment. This adaptation is also called "evolution."
Thought the Onion was real?
{quote=The Onion]The sweeping new law prohibits all living beings within state borders from being born with random genetic mutations that could make them better suited to evade predators, secure a mate, or, adapt to a changing environment. In addition, it bars any sexual reproduction, battles for survival, or instances of pure happenstance that might lead, after several generations, to a more well-adapted species or subspecies.
Apparently God really didn't give a flying fuck for influenza viruses. The little shits mutate at the drop of a hat, constantly swapping genes around, rearranging them, making little changes in them that knock out old vaccines and make sure we're constantly creating new ones to protect against new strains.
You know...evolution.
Evolving is a sin....at that rate, we would all have 4.3 billion% of sin in our bodies. YOU FAIL. by the way, is there a BIG TRUCK OF FAIL award? If so, this post deserves it.
This absolutely has to be a Poe. No one can be dumb enough to think that evolution is a lifestyle choice. We don't chose to evolove, dumb ass. It happens on it's own. Plus, evolution cannot happen in such a short period of time to think that we can evolove in just a few years. It happens to groups over millions of years. What a dumbfuck.

You just logic bombed!
If evolving is a sin, I guess we're ALL damned now.
Y'know, because we're always evolving.
Jokes aren't funny when explained.
Individuals don't evolve, species do.
Why hate things that probably don't exist?
You would never do any sinful things, Gottservant, surely. Like working on the Sabbath (whichever day that is), or sowing the same crop that you did last year, or touching a menstruating woman, or wearing clothes of mixed fibers, or ...
Is that the 11th commandment?
"Thou shalt not commit evolution"?
Must be missing from my buybull...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
