Dimensio, you are a kinder soul than I.
When you nail a CRIDer and they don't have a proper response (so far they are batting zero % against yours, my and other Evo posts), they retreat immediately into logical fallacies. Setting up a strawman argument on purpose is deception, which is a form of lying.
Screen, your posts seem to come to "You must believe the Bible." You have been upbraided many times as this being a logical fallacy, yet you repeat it. After the first time, the repitition becomes a lie.
Sorry your so blind.
In the same way we wouldn't want magical levitation presented as an "alternate theory" for gravity and aerodynamics.
Creationism is not an alternate theory for evolution. It is a mythological construct and belongs in a philosophy class.
The question is, would you want your child taught that 1+1=3 because God said so? That is why it is so important this be classified properly. Evolution is science, Creation is religion/mythology/theology.
Sorry you're so stupid.
He evidently couldn't forgive mankind without killing His own son
God didn't kill His Son. Our sins did. Truly, the greatest gift of all. And what did that accomplish for you? Are you grateful? Or are you acting self-righteous and putting parameters around our Heavenly Father - so YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THINGS?
NIV 1 Peter 1:17-21
17. Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
18. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,
19. but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
20. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
21. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
NIV 1 Corinthians 2:7
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
NIV 2 Timothy 1:8-10
8. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,
9. who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
10. but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
NIV Titus 1:1-4
1. Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness--
2. a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
3. and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
4. To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Because most who think they speak for Him don't. They use the authority of God to implement their own desires.
It's merely punk-eek applied to bingo.
"It's a MIRACLE!"
I've never pinged a mod on anyone but myself (to delete a double post). Methinks your paranoia is becoming uncontrollable.
Or cracker jennies?
Do we have any list of mathematicians publicly signing statements that 1+1 does not equal 2 and, therefore, other ideas should be taught? This is the problem. You want evolution taught in the same absolute format as mathematics when it just ain't so. Evolution, as it pertains to the origin of man, is not in any way similar to the mathematic certainty that 1+1=2. To believe that it is - which is really what this debate is all about - takes much more faith than believing the Bible. When the real mathematicians point out the almost statistical impossibility of man resulting from some single cell organism - they are not allowed in the classroom because it is not science. Your comparing evolution to the certainty of mathematics lifts the veil and exposes the problem that most evo's have. It is a "theory" in no way comparable to other scientific or mathematical facts. I know - now I'm going to have explained to me what a "theory" is for the thousandth time.
And many stumble over it!
Twice?
Then time has failed well I double post!
Then there's the ID crowd that claims it was all there at "inception". Anthropic principle. Fine tuned. Life is inevitable given the nature of nature.
If this is science then some of it should be testable.
Let's just say I'm kinda ambivalent about the 'roundheads' ...
Not if He is also infinitely just.
Justice demands payment for immorality. You really should not try to argue Christianity if you are ignorant of the basic tenets.
Yep. They want to bully you into signing on to what they establish as a theory.
The attempt to define the terms of debate will leave them in control of that debate--never accept the terms.
Being in control is the operative phrase--evos on FR do not argue in good faith. They're on an obsessive Control Trip.
When Evolutionists lie (think hoaxes) they are 'exposed' and then 'we move on'.
