danny,
Per rule #4:
Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions. and the fact that you are in a science forum means you do need to provide evidence and attribution. It is not appropriate to require that someone go look it up when they request you provide evidence.

Note to All:
This topic deals with the unacknowledged accuracy of Genesis 1. Not whether the Bible authors thought the earth was a circle or a sphere. Unless it is in Genesis 1, don't go there. Also a reminder that this is a science thread.
OP writes: Mainstream science has given us a pretty comprehensive theory of universal evolution from the Big Bang to the appearence of modern man. The biblical equivalent of this theory appears in the first chapter of the Book of Genesis. This biblical theory is presented in large brushstrokes but the similarities between itself and scientific theory are quite uncanny. Evidence is key. Show your path or reasoning.

Zaron,
Please get back to the topic. It concerns the unacknowledged accuracy of Genesis 1.

While it is fascinating to pick Arach's brain, you aren't furthering the discussion started in the OP. Please do not continue in this direction. If you respond to Message 82 which seems to only deal with word meanings, please tie it back to the topic. As I said in Message 87, this is not a general discussion of Genesis. If you continue to disregard my warnings, I will suspend you for 24 hours. Topic closed for a short time to allow viewing of the warning. Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour timeout. Thank you

Welcome MacCullock,
Glad you decided to add to our diversity. We have a wide variety of forums for your debating pleasure, but I warn you it can become habit forming. Since you quoted danny, but responded to MightyPlaceNimrod's post (which isn't really dealing with the topic, I'm assuming you meant to respond to danny. Use the little green button at the bottom right side of the post you are responding to. If you don't, following the discussion becomes difficult and the person you want a response from won't be emailed a note that a response has been made. In the purple signature box below, you'll find some links that will help make your journey here pleasant. Pay particular attention to our Forum Guidelines and all will go well. Again, welcome and fruitful debating. Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.-- Encylopedia Brittanica, on debate Links for comments on moderation procedures and/or responding to admin msgs:

Arachnophilia and MacCullock,
As much as I enjoy a good Hebrew duel, I don't see how this line of discussion furthers the point of the topic.
OP writes: In general, the similarities between the biblical and scientific theories of universal evolution are uncanny. Are these similarities a product of my deranged imaginings and, if not, how did they come about. General Note: I ask that any responses to Message 98 or Message 101 clearly address and further the discussion of the topic as presented in Message 1. Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour timeout. Thank you
