Why prefer the Biblical creation account over those of other religions?

2006 was when this thread was Created, So im not sure Stumpy is still here... Darwin or the TOE? I think science has moved way past Darwin. One thing that was a problem was the fossil record.(according to Stephen J gould). Enter, Punctuated equilibrium. It's SUCH a stretch to consider it, as much as it is for the world to be repopulated by Noah and his family that Evolutionist disagree with BUT PE is OK apperantly but not Noah. From wiki: It looks like Hinduism is in the business of brokering deals for religion. Why do you think Hinduism rivals christianity when it says " find your own way". What if that way is Christianity? That's not religion that's a brokerage firm. LOL. Than other what? How in the hell do you know it's no more valid than "others"? Have you done what the Bible instructs us to do to find out??? From Genesis chapter 1 The Bible which you say is not "valid" seems spot on to me. How bout you? Do you see pear trees producing apple trees? Any why do you think that is?Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.

I don't follow? You just lumped my entire post all into one big bowl of Gumbo and said I dont understand NS?Im not comparing NS or PE to pear trees or apple trees. Oh good, then you agree the Bible correctly predicts that kinds produce like kinds BUT you think evolution doesnt? Which is it?

Dr A, im not saying he is wrong. My point was that Science has moved past Darwin. As things prorress it doesn't mean the Bible is invalidated by progressions in Science, does it?

Well, im not interested in every Creation story, just one. And because it's right doesnt mean it's any LESS valid than the rest either.Truth is not relative, one has to be absolutly right. BTW, most creation stories steal from the bible.

I havn't read them all. Im talking about the most common ones like Islam, mormons, seventh day, jehovah witnesses etc...Of course all the ones in the article I never even heard of. Have you? Do you ever use them to dispute the Bible? No you don't. The one's I said above are often used as being in the same faith as christianity, which they are not. That's my point.I can't know every Creation myth, there so many.

Well, here is what I saw the OP saying when I posted: Do I need to address every Creation myth? Or some of the more relevant religions? Well, I know first hand it's true from my own experience. I can offer my testiomonies and God working in my own life.Since the OP says you cannot use the Bible it's a bit restricted as our faith is based on what the Bible says. Well, I just went with what the OP actually said and cited hindu which it said and religions.Are we now addressing all the Creation myths you linked from wiki?

I glanced at it yes. Do I have to address everyone? The OP is talking about religions (i.e hinduism etc.) not what the bushman in the congo believe. Isnt that moving the goalposts so to speak? Am I allowed to say that or only you at your convienince?My first comment to this thread was addressing the OP and certain religions like hinduism and I did, not the 900 beliefs in the wiki article.Pay attention.

Are there any surviving Sumerians or Dynastic Egyptians? No. How about the hebrew nation? Yes.Where are you getting all this info from? The reliability of the Hebrew manuscripts is not in question here and common stories simply add to the reliability of the scriptures.Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.

I said i looked at it didn't I? Would you like me to go over ALL the creation myths? About most religions yes. All the crazy Creation myths im not concerned about but apperantly you are. If you would like to debate i would like that. If you are just trying to say AH HA!! every time you comment you got me. You win. I recant my miswording about all Creation myths stealing from the Bible.I should have said most relevant religions sprinkle a little "truth" in their doctrines that come from the Bible. Did you READ my comment about hinduism? That is how i feel about it. Ok?Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.

Hi Dr. It's a religion, apperantly. wiki: Well, The God of the Bible says He Created the mantis and caterpillar. Why is this guy/god taking credit?wiki: Well, it seems a little silly. We do have a "rose again" reference here tho.On the other hand we have God who Created all things. Man sinned, He sent a savoir to live the perfect life we couldn't that a perfect God demands and if we receive his sacrafice for our sins we are forgiven and back in right standing with our loving Creator.Even if I wasn't a Christian I would give more validity to the latter, but that is just me.There is a lot more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than kaang who was vomited up by a ogre.

Ok, well I choose to believe the perfect star that is our sun was designed by God and not boomed into existance by happenstance. It's evidence for me to use, im using it. My lord and savior Created all things:It is my confidence that Jesus is the one holding everything together even the Universe: Jesus is that "strong force" IMO. It's a good theory isn't it? Reference: http://www.ldolphin.org/cohere.shtml It doesn't make the Bible or Creation a myth if some christians dont believe it. I can't address every one. How about you provide a Creation myth and we'll go over them one at a time. There is some faith involved too. I know it's not good for debate but it's true. Faith in believing what the Bible says is important. If you or anyone chooses not to believe it I can't convince you or anyone.

Most religions do not steal from Christianity.When I said most I should have said what I was thinking which was mormons, latter day saints, Jehovah witnesses , seventh day adventist etc. The religions that claim they are a sect of christianity or Jesus is mentioned as just a prophet and so on. they omit a lot of what the Bible teaches and even change what it says.All the Creation myths im not aware of. Sorry. For stories like Mithraism and such I believe a lot of misinformation is out there concerning these stories that are meant to make christianity look bad.As far as the Creation story of the Bible being true over other ones:I believe exactly what the Bible says. There is alot of information out there to weed thru and that's what im doing.Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.
