One creationist version of science

But I should instead say that the Judeo-Christian worldview is the only possible complete philosophy that is both self-consistent and consistent with the data of human experience.

really? try these on for size.1. (i call this Gzusianism although some of you may just think i'm being a dick)The Universe was emitted from Satan's rear end in a cambrian explosion which sent gaseous clouds into space, etc. man eventually evolved, but Satan really wasn't interested, instead she was more preoccupied with the antics of her slave pipo the clown. Amazingly, truth is made accessible to me through Satan and therefore if you don't agree with me then you can go and stick your head in a camel.2. the universe just is, no one cares why not even God. (God told me this so shove off)3. The universe was wonderfully and beautifully made by my pet cat max. Max tells me these things although you wouldn't be able to understand him.4. The world was wonderfully and beautifully made by God (i.e. Jehova) and after an exodus, a flood and a few minor skirmishes with philistines/romans/egyptians/etc... his son died for our sins (sins are defined as transgressions of Christian rules i.e. the 10 commandments. These transgressions are defined as 'wrong' whatever that is) and if you accept his promise then you get to join God's choir, if not then you burn eternally.5. Universe, what universe?

John,
I did some research on Chinese religions. The fact that you thought I was far off got me thinking. I knew that I knew very little about the Chinese or Japanese religions. But the fact that you could tell made me think I must be really far off.The research I did was in Eerdmann's Guide to World Religions. I looked up Chinese religious thought. Tell me if you think this sounds right.I didn't just get the wrong answer, I got the wrong question! The Chinese don't ask about cause and effect. They're more concerned with how to live. Eerdman said that the fundamental statment in Chinese religion is, "Heaven has concern for us." In other words they don't concentrate on myth or science per se. Instead they are more concerned with, in the immortal words of Francis Schaeffer, "How should we then live?"So thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I retract my statement about science. Thanks again.Evan

I can't help but think that you are still looking at this wrong.How much of the NT actually deals with science? How much with cause and effect? Not much. Most of it deals with how people should live. Yet you seem to be focusing on this in the case of the Chinese but not the Christian.------------------
