Re: evolution and Christianity

Faith writes:

Geology and physics can't trump God.

Unless of course, the geology and physics of nature, as understood, were created by God.

As you know, we disagree. I believe in the works of God over the words of men.

I also believe your personal and seemingly self-proclaimed infallible interpretation of the Bible is inferior to my feeling of personal humility in my gradually unfolding understanding of God's creation.

But as I best gather from you, you believe your book of secondary sources trumps the entire universe of God's creation.

My God is bigger than your god

YEC is Against All Science

Faith asserts:

Well, of course, human originated science is naturally flawed, naturally likely to be at odds with the truth in some places, but most of it is not as fantastic as the ToE. The ToE does contradict the written word of God and so do the time factors in the rest of what you list, but the practical sciences in general do not contradict it. A Bible believing Christian has no problem with most of it. Astronomy is a problem, great ages are a problem, but all the practical sciences are not. Archaeology is not a problem though we may dispute some of its dates. Neurology is no problem, germ theory is no problem, genetics is no problem, and 99% of geology is not a problem, and most of astronomy too. Only the time factor. Some day we'll understand how to put it all together, but we don't yet.

You have got to be kidding. YEC is not compatible with the entire field of geology and astronomy, and large parts of physics, chemistry, anthropology, linguistics, and history.

Remember this thread? I do: http://EvC Forum: YEC Problem with Science Above and Beyond Evolution -->EvC Forum: YEC Problem with Science Above and Beyond Evolution

Want to go for round 2?

ABE - on second thought, YEC is pretty much against all of anthropology and linguistics as well.

Still Awaiting Response

YECs don't deny "real geology" just certain theories.

Please see: http://EvC Forum: Incompatibility of Geology with YEC -->EvC Forum: Incompatibility of Geology with YEC

Here is your opportunity to show us how your understanding of "real geology" is so superior to virtually everyone else's who have actually studied and/or worked in the field. Also, you can address the impracticalities of finding oil, water, and minerals using that evil science compared to the great successes in discovering and utilizing the Earth's resources involving your interpretation of the Bible.
