precious little of what the ICR (and other organisations like it) teaches is true.
that is a matter of opinion but to get a dig in here------ evolution is not correct.
So many Christian sects, so little time. Why don't you explain to us the difference in interpretation of God's rules that makes you right and, say, the Methodists wrong?
i never said the methodists were wrong, nor the baptists, nor the nazerenes and many other like minded denominations. if the denomination holds to the basic doctrines that comprise christianity then their beliefs are not wrong. even some pentecostal ones. it is when they err in doctrine do they become wrong.
say the united church or the episcopoal one where they are ordaining homosexuals--that is just wrong and against scripture. you ave to check their beliefs against scripture to make sure they belief the truth.
If this were true then the best scientific answers would flow out of conservative Christian colleges and universities, but for the most part no scientific answers at all come from these institutions.
that is subjective and depends upon what you consider scientific answers and what is the best? your way? at best, science canonly provide answers about tectonics, volcanoes, how bodies functions, and so on. it cannot discuss origins nor claim that evolution exists, fo the former is outside of its scope and the latter never existed.
Why should science not ask questions about origins? Or about anything, for that matter? Where is this rule found in the Bible, and if you find it, how do you know it is a rule of God and not simply what some person wrote down?
because the answer has already been provided. and we take it by faith partof the equation made by God. i do not see ow you will be able to replicate a one time supernatural act when science and scientists do not possess God's power.
I presume you believe it's okay for science to ask questions about paternity. DNA tests do this pretty well. So you presumably agree DNA testing can go back one generation.
my felings on DNA are that it is good as far as the researchers are honest and that research is easily manipulated, subject to social, political, academic & legal pressures which influence the results {we have all heard of the forensic scientists who have altered their tests to convict criminals}
so it is like the rest of science, done wrong, it is very wrong, done right, it can be ofhelp {and in the science thread I posted links to articles where DNA can be faked so i do not trust secular scientists, and some christian ones when they claim certain results}.
At what point do you believe DNA testing is no longer valid for determining relatedness, and why?
it has little to do with how many genrations it goes back and more with WHOM is doing the research.
Not really. The material you link to is prior to the judgment reported in post #31.
sorry, i posted what i could find, though som ei knew were older.
That should be "any more", not "yet".
They did have information on it on their website, but apparently they took it down --- the writer in the link suggests that they did so out of embarrassment, but this is not an emotion that one readily associates with YECs
i wouldn't know that i think that ICR went too far.
Who knows why creationists do what they do? But one might speculate that since they never get even the tiniest sign of approval from their god, they are obliged to seek it from men.
actually we do but too many want to do things their own way not God's.
That is called the tactic of avoidance and sadly the Christian Cult of Ignorance seems to be adopting it en masse
no, wrong again.
The problem is that the world actually exists and many kids can actually think and if you are not very, very careful those kids open their eyes and see that you have been teaching them nonsense
no. the problem is that the secular world rejects the existence of the devil and think everything is okay and that no deception is going on. what is it that they say...'the first thing the devil did was convince people he did not exist...'
The result is that the kids totally abandon Christianity.
people abandoned christianity for many reasons with some being they want what the world offers and do not want to suffer with Christ.
you cannot have christianity and say you believe God then start adding in secular thinking to the mix. that is not christianity but disobedience to God who gave clear instructions not to follow the unbelieving world.
for many the lure of secular science is too appealing for them to ignore it, thus they choose that over truth. Christianity is not about science, the truth is not about science nor completely found in it {it has some truth--not evoution--but...}
in all the years i have been discussing science with atheists and evolutionists, there is one common thread or theme. they think all science is good and they never look onthe evil science has wrought.
to start: dr. mengeles and other nazi scientists; pestilance, poisons; tools of war- tanks, napalm, mustard gas...; medicines which bring severe side effects, worse than the disease itself; and so much more.
you cannot overlook the evil because the field is telling you what you want to hear about origins and crops and health. to do so is hypocritical and destroys your credibility/
