Percy,
I came on here after hearing about creationism and thought everybody in the world didn't realise that there was this alternative view you could have - Lol, infact you guys already knew a LOT about creationism, however - I never thought science was religious. I wonder if my first ever post is able to be found, I think it was a typical YEC rant.
Ned,
You can't "convert" you're our candidate for a creo admin! Sides there are so few that carry on a reasonable conversation we need you.
Lol - I've noticed some people are totally inable to give up on the tiniest of points, and will argue till the sun becomes big and red and humans have de-evolved into bouncing ape flees.
Having lost a loved one I can, to a degree, understand some of the comfort that faith might be able to give you. If you've got it don't let it go because of lies told by those at AIG.
Have the best of both. An appreciation for the awesome wonder of the natural world and a connection with something you feel is greater still. Just don't let either one get in the way of the other.
Amen to that, I am sorry about that loss there and I gauruntee my faith is solid, at the moment I suppose I am too neutral to be considered either evo or creo. I will remain calling myself creationist if I must be categorized, but do understand this is only because I believe the universe was created by God, and the animals, it has nothing to do with Ken Ham or any theory of anyones though, so - just like Einstein, don't let them mis-represent my belief.
'sides the MN side may yet be in for a surprise out there if we really do find gap that simply can not be closed - ever. Or even a hint of something else going on (though I guess that would become within the scope of MN if it did. mmmm, I get confused if I try to get too philosophical or too theological. That might be why I stay away.
Yes, it is good to leave that door open and maybe we will be surprised, as they say in
star trek- the future is the undiscovered country.
It's a shame you don't get involved in those philosophical/theological discussions though Ned, this kind of logical roundabout is exactly what my brain thrives on for what reason I'll never know.
Loudmouth,
Thanks for your encouragement with my endeavours recently, I assure you I won't accept anyone mis-representing your true intentions.
Dan you are still banned for being a less of a chance deludant
Wow, well - I think I replied to everyone..........
