Give me an example. Thanks.
Wrong. Scientists are continually working on advances. Scientists never consider that discussion should end.
May 1, 2009
The fossilized leg of an 80-million-year-old duck-billed dinosaur has yielded the oldest known proteins preserved in soft tissue—including blood vessels and other connective tissue as well as perhaps blood cell proteins—a new study says.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/05/090501-oldest-dinosaur-proteins.html
Even more so for Creation/ID Scientists, as each new discovery is far better explained by design and purpose.
“Please find me one scientist that has in the past postulated that soft tissue could survive 80,000,000 years - 1,000,000. You will not be able to do so.”
—I’d already told you in a previous post that scientists were postulating precisely that and it’s what inspired Crichton to write Jurassic Park. New technology such as PCR was developed in the 80’s which led to some exciting predictions that we could find bits of dna, which were too small to find before, in some well preserved bones or amber.
It’s much harder to find sources from that time now (the web wasn’t around then heh), but a quick search brought up George Poinar:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Poinar,_Jr.
He wrote a book called “Life in Amber”, where he claimed to have gotten 125 million year old dna using pcr - but that’s pretty much discredited now as being tainted with modern dna (a big problem with pcr).
Despite the excitement of 20 years ago, we haven’t gotten any dna that old so far, so instead scientists are looking for proteins which last much longer - and then trying to extrapolate from the protein as to what dna produced it.
Uh, it is not about understanding the supernatural but about understanding the natural.
So what is your answer to my question:
Do you agree or disagree that the author quoted by GGG in #94 was referring to damnation when he spoke of "woe" for their "unbelief", and that they were standing on a "dangerous precipice"?
At that natural was made supernaturally.
What "traditional literal interpretation of the Bible"?
Where do you get the delusion that a literal interpretation of the Bible is traditional?
Whose tradition? Which church or denomination?
LOL!!! Not *ouch* but ROTFLOL!!!
It’s just so amusing to see how the evos think that they have creationists pegged.
I guess the only reason it would be *ouch* is from laughing so hard at the stereotypes that evos like to perpetuate in order to disparage ANY belief in God, or a creator, or anything that might give religious belief any credibility.
Uh, it is the YECrs that perpetuate the stereotypes; every time they post.
But they do when it comes to the ToE.
Come on. You are smart enough to know that is not true.
That must make you a YECer based on this comment you just made.
That sounds like the Pope is on a "dangerous precipice", as defined by the author quoted in your post. Again, what is that "dangerous precipice", if not damnation?
Worry about your own dangerous precipice -
Why did you omit the bolded part? The full quote shows that my point was concerning the meaning of the author's words quoted in GGG's #94, and not whether I was worried about the Pope going to Hell.
You should keep the following in mind if you decide to twist things:
Rev.21 [8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
When evos say that evolution is a fact and slander anyone who disagrees with it, for all practical purposes, they have established that the discussion is at an end.
“I have provided two links to attest to the finding of blood vessels.”
No, they did not attest to finding actual blood vessels, but I don’t expect you to know, nor understand the difference
The precipice they are standing on is disbelief in the Word of God. This will ultimately lead to unbelief which almost all Christian denominations will admit will lead to a separation from God through eternity. For myself this is a dangerous precipice that I would not care to walk out onto.
