The Gap Theory Examined

This sentence is nonsense. "Manifest" as a verb is synonymous with "make", so you've just said that God made it by making it. It's meaningless. It's just linguistic legedermain that you're using to conceal ignorance.

Blow me. Yeah, pretty much they are. Especially if you're going to play an asinine game of:1) How did God create the Earth? By making it.
2) How did God make the Earth? By creating it.What fun! It goes on forever, you see. I'll never understand the mindset of people like you; people that prefer circuitous word-games to actual, honest inquiry about the origin of the natural world.

Yeah, but that's obviously not what you meant. Or did you forget? You were talking about God doing both the making and the manifesting.So, where's that difference again?

Seriously, this is nonsense. Why do you prefer nonsense to legitimate inquiry into the natural world?You constantly assert that the methods evolutionists use to argue their position - as though evolution needed to be argued for, these days - is the greatest evidence that the whole thing is suspect. Turn that around. If the best expression of your model is lingustic nonsense ("colorless green ideas") then it's obvious that there's no truth to it. And since this is your own reasoning I'm employing, it's now obvious that you're an atheist, too.

Sounds like you can't read, since that's absolutely an incorrect description of my posts to you.The fact that you're reduced to outright lies about your opponents - like every creationist - is the strongest possible evidence that there's no truth to be found in creationism, ID, or any of that nonsense.
