Not if you use the UBB codes.

1. My belief in the Bible as the true word of God
Hence you are no scientist.

2. Common sense science cannot be ignored
Meaning what? Complex science can be ignored?
quote:
You have much more flexibility~you are probably not governed in your thinking on what the Bible says and you are also free to accept any theory that you find reasonable.
Well, yes, just like anyone honestly searching for the correct answer.
quote:
The problem I have had over the last few years is to get across the message that one theory cannot be used to prove or disprove another theory.
There is a little thing called evidence. Theories don't disprove one another per se but theories and evidence/observation can and do conflict.
quote:
So the mainstream science theories of uniformitarianism or evolution are just that -theories.
You are forgetting that both theories have mountains of supporting evidence. This must be the science that it is OK to ignore.
quote:
Biblical interpretations are also theories.
ok
quote:
So it would be quite wrong for me to say that my biblical interpretation disproves the theory of say uniformitarianism.
It doesn't seem that you can have it both ways, thus one has to be wrong. This brings us back to that bit about evidence.
quote:
It is therfore logical for me to look for a scientific explanation for our origins which is compatible with what I perceive to be biblical truths.
I am sure it necessary for you, but logical? How is it logical to start with your conclusion?
quote:
So anyone is perfectly entitled to demolish my theory on the basis of incontrovertible scientific facts alone or to demolish my interpretation of the scriptures on biblical grounds alone.
So far I have no takers on either challenge.

So far you have given us almost nothing to challenge and what you have given us has been challenged and much too easily demolished. How do you figure that there are no takers?
