Summations Only

Good point, but I trust the judgement of Phillip Johnson. He's formidably intelligennt and, I believe, very honest.

I agree, to a certain extent: As I have already explained in a previous post, it would seem that demons, or Satan, are not capable of "speaking" to humans in an audible voice. However, they can "speak" to the human mind by some mysterious inaudible process and thereby influence their thoughts and actions.It would also seem that demons cannot appear in their own from or in the form of a human being or any other creature (apparition) - the only way they can manisfest themselves visually is by possessing the body of a human or another creature.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

God arranged to have his Word recorded in written form to preserve its accuracy down through the centuries. An oral method wouldn't work as it would be very prone to mistakes when being passed from one person to the next. Plus there would be no way of checking if the contemporary version of the story is faithful to the original.
The Jews went to extreme lenghts to ensure that each and every word was accurately copied from one Bible copy to the next. Human intelligence is infallible? I didn't know that!Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

You were there so you would know. Oh well, that proves it - it didn't happen. For all you know, the evidence could well be there but hasn't been discovered yet.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

Oh, thank you for that. Someone told me the division can also be performed on a calculator, whatever that is.

Religion requires faith, not proof. Besides that, it will be proven ... in time. That is to say, when one kicks-the-bucket one comes face to face with the God who wrote the Bible.

Okay, what you seem to be saying is that99,990,000/10,000 = 9999.Whaaaaaat? How did you work that out? I think you've just made that up.

HBD, the party-pooper.

Evolution seriously undermines the authority of Scripture and makes a mockery of the concept of Original Sin. Hence, evolution nullifies man's need for a Redeemer - namely, Christ.
So, in my opinion, any professing Christian who accepts evolution easily qualifies as a heretic.

You're so gullible. I'm sure experts in the Greek Scriptures - from say, the Greek Orthodox Church - would laugh at the error-ridden rubbish you were taught.

The starting point of evolution is a primordial cell that reproduced ... billions of years ago. What evidence is there evidence for that? I suspect it is merely an assumption.

So, what are your qualifications in paleontology and how many years have you spent studying real fossils?

I don't recall "try(ing) to claim to have worked with the original". Refresh my memory. I must decline your offer to read your article, Moon Dust, as I fear it will render me totally and permanently insane. As Tangle once pointed out, my mental state is already officially rated as RF ("real fruitcake"), so indulging the material on your website could push me over the edge into a bottomless pit of unspeakable madness and horror. How do know what's in the fossil record, for example? Do you have a Ph.d. in paleontology and have you spent several decades studying real fossils and the entire fossil record? Probably not, so you accept what a relatively tiny number of experts tell you is there. Have you verified for yourself that their conclusions are correct? I will assume not. You accept what they say, because, like you, paleontologists are Darwinists (I would imagine 99.99999% of them are, anyway), and they tell you want you want to hear.
In other words, you preach to creationists to verify what they are told, but you don't apply the same standard to what Darwinists tell you. Doesn't that make you a hypocrite?

You must have read a different book of Genesis to the one I've read. The one I've read is written in a style that makes it obvious that most of it is real, literal history.How did you come to the conclusion that the contents of Genesis are stories "obviously" passed down orally? How do you know Genesis isn't based on earlier written accounts - ie, pre-Bible? I suspect your reasoning is at least partly based on the evo'myth that humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years. How would I go about "forcing" anyone to believe what I believe, exactly?Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.

Oops. I've just read your post. I take your point.Edited by Dredge, : No reason given.
