Dr Adequate: Claiming otherwise, even if you use capital letters to do so, is not likely to fool anyone. A fundamentalist preacher once joked that many sermon outlines contain this note in the margin: Weak argument. Pound pulpit. __ Edited by Archer Opterix, : title. Archer All species are transitional.

Welcome to EVC I AM.
Could you be careful to use the little green reply button on the lower right of the post that you are responding too? That allows email noticification to the person you reply too and allows others to follow the thread more easily. In addition, "No" isn't much of a post. It is traditional to copy the point you are replying to into your reply. Surround it with [ qs ] [ /qs ] codes and it will be flagged as a quote. See the (help) next to dBCodes On on the left of the edit window for how to do other things in your post or when you see something you want to do use the "peek" button on the lower right of a post to see how someone did it. Also if you say "no" to something you might need to say why. Enjoy your stay here.

I think Henry Morris and Walt Brown have copies, and possibly Philip E. Johnson.

Well, think about it for a minute. We are suppose to be modern man.
and those people back then who wrote it are not as advanced as we are today. Becouse if I recorded them on tape then played it back to them I thinkthey would freak out. I was told the bible only holds information on philosophy and to get toknow who god is. thats it. nothing else. And as modern men, we all should be intelagent to know this.so even though there are people who try to tie the evens of non-modern mans view at the time together with todays knowledge is foolish at best. it's just plain silly to see modern man act this way.

No we had an interpretation problem, which can not be solved.
And I truly believe that. And I do believe that we both beat that dog to death already. And so I believe the poor dog deserves to rest in peace.And by the way, I really do respect your believe in that. Zcoder....

You have accused me of being a Bible literalist and of hating people of faith. Come back to Bible Accuracy and Inerrancy and try to understand what is being said instead of taking Olympic-caliber long jumps to conclusions. If you would pay attention, you would see that we do not have an "interpretation problem". The dog is not dead - you haven't even come close to hitting it. Edited by Ringo, : Shpelling.

I believe religion and science to be the same as they both attempt to do the same thing; explain life. My personal opinion is with religion because science does not stand firm on any belief. Science is only right until proven wrong. Then they change what science says. How can that be truth. (guy 1 says)The Earth is flat. (guy 2 says) No I just got back from the other side. (guy 1 says) Let me see the proof and I'll say what you said. I don't think creationism is a science because it was here before science. Creationism is religion(with a fancy name). I believe science, however, to be a religion also with more than one god. Man. The bible is, as I believe, God's explanation of life. Science is man's explanation of life. I choose to believe God. God is not a man that he should lie. In science we(nice way of saying you) take the word of men we've never met. Yet there are smart people we know who we don't believe a word they say. Darwin could have been wrong, Darwin could have been lying, Darwin could have not even said those things. People could have paraphrased what he really meant. (I often do this to science because everyone does this to the bible) So someone could have changed the bible but no one would ever change a Science book (Sarcasm). I say this to say Creationism is not a science; it is much too stable. Science changes every generation to cover up the FACT that it was wrong. I'm surprised history books still admit that people once thought the Earth was flat. Science told them that. One day history will stop teaching that and the new generation will believe that we always knew the Earth was round.

quote: That sounds reasonable to me. If evidence turns up to show that you are wrong, then shouldn't you admit it? What sort of nutcake insists that she is right even when the facts demonstrate quite conclusively that she is wrong? This is the problem with creationists -- they cannot admit that they are wrong about the history of the universe despite clear evidence that they are. -
quote: How do you know that? According to creationists, God did just that when he dictated Genesis to Moses. -
quote: The physical evidence, though, shows that he was mostly right. -
quote: That is the problem. Despite creationism being obviously wrong, people insist that it is correct. That seems to be a sign of mental instability to me. -
quote: Actually, the opposite phenomenon is usually the case. That is, pop history usually tries to portray ealier periods as more silly and less sophisticated than the present in order to give the impression that we are at the end of a long road of progress. Actually, if their god makes better pancakes, I'm totally switching sides. -- Charley the Australopithecine

quote: That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that science gets righter and righter every time it corrects itself. Are you actually saying that you think that the science that our modern medical technology is based on is less reliable because it is constantly improving?
