Re: Dredging in the Dust
Reminds me of an incident here in The Netherlands, where the EO (evangalical broadcasting), who were airing his shows, had edited them to exclude any reference to millions of years ago and so forth. See here, here and here. That worm's probably a Thelazia

Re: Our own list?
Brian writes: As it looks as if this list is yet another piece of creationist propaganda, couldn't we come up with The EvC List of 51 Scientific Facts that disprove the Bible?
Good idea! 2. Pi does not equal 3.

Re: The pi=3 argument
Mr Jack writes: I think it's extremely questionable that the Bible gives a value of 3 in the first place, as it requires you to make assumptions about the shape of the vessel that aren't in the text anyway.
Well, here's the quote:
quote:
And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.
So, it DOES say it is completely round. And to Moose: I wouldn't mind the bible using the value of 3 for Pi, it is a close enough aproximation. Except for one tiny fact. The bible is supposed to be the inerrant word of god. You can't be inerrant if you state pi equals 3.

Re: Canards
That doesn't prove macro change though, that's just pure hogwash, has never been observed, can't be recreated in a lab and it certainly isn't science!

Re: Canards
See, it's not science, it can't be recreated in a lab, you're just guessing this is what happened! While of course we have the English dictionary to prove that English has never changed, and has always existed in its current form! You doubt the great wordwriter of the dictionary! You'll go to illiteratehell! Repent while you can! Believers will be eaten last....Oh wait no, that's Cthulhu. Damn I messed up!

Re: One of the most pathetic lists I've ever seen
IF his prophecy was indeed intended for this day and age, why would it matter that people back then were confused? It would've been clear now, when it matters, not back then, when the events were till millennia away.

Re: One of the most pathetic lists I've ever seen
Couldn't god be more clear then? Or imparted in him the knowledge he needed to be absolutely clear? He can do anything right? Why not make it absolutely clear what he was intending? Does he want people to doubt? The message could still be clear by adding a simple disclaimer. Something like "Yes, you don;t understand these images, but when you do, know the time is nigh!" In short, if it was meant to be clear, it would've been.
