10 Best Evidence for Creation and a Young Earth

Hey! The old gods are alive and well. Wdnesday = Wotan's day = Odin's day. Thursday = Thor's day, in German it's Donnerstag, very similar to Donar and Donner still is the word for thunder. And there is also Friday, acually Freya's day. And you forgot Teutates for Asterix. :-)

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.And Tuesday comes from Tiwaz' day. Tiwaz, also known as Týr, was the god of war :D

I love it, you invoke the book of contradictions, then you call theories fables based on your knowledge of the book of contradictions. Then you witter on about eternal security, as for people flopping around in hell, you know this how? Oh wait it is written in the book of contradictions. The ONLY basis of your premises is the book of contradictions oh and your faith.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Actually, it's not. That was my whole point in the long comment above. A physical Hell is a 5th Century invention and that of a heretic to boot!

Then that God has no right to expect to be worshipped or loved in any way. It is a moral imperative to treat such a God with utter contempt, whatever the cost, and to treat his followers likewise!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
It might be easy for you to talk big against God right now. But some day, when you will be standing before him soon, you will be utterly terrified. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7). Better to fear Him now, than later when there is nothing that can save you.

Now you understand.
I’m not sure you understand the word 'theory' in this context, a scientific context, rather than a layman context.

I will not. God can do nothing since it doesn't exist, nor any other gods or demons or whatever. And if he does exist HE will be utterly terrified for Hell hath no fury like a rational bad temeperd atheist who lived an entire life dominated by religious sycophants who maimed, killed and stomped on civil liberties to honor an extraplanar dictator.

Oh my good LORD! (not) where had I been? I am now truly convinced that the Bible is the world's most accurate book. If thrown in over a short distance to someone's head :cool:

2 or 3 idiots peer reviewing a piece of toilet paper does not make it fact Evolution changes "facts" every few weeks. Would you rather base your eternal security on something that changes every few weeks, or something that has held strong for over 2000 years? If you could put your money in a bank that changed names as fast as evolution theory, or one that has existed for 2000 years, which would you pick?

I do find it very weird that people who only believe in science will openly admit that it is a flawed method, meaning that it changes often, and they find that wonderful about it. I do agree that it is wonderful that science improves upon itself but if I am given the choice between a method that is admittedly flawed vs. one that has proven truth, why would I pick the flawed one? Weird.

Would you rather bet your life on a medicine that has been rigorously blind tested and proven to work on the disease you suffer from, or visit your witch doctor so he can shake a stick at you and chant? The latter is the older medical treatment that has existed for probably tens of thousands of years... Evolution doesn't change "facts" at all: it isn't a "fact", it's a theory which explains and predicted extremely well changes we can and have seen happening in a population. Being a theory it is of course open to replacement if a better theory comes along and explains and predicts things better. And as for "something that has held strong for over 2000 years?" I would suggest you check your "facts" there as well unless you are reading it in the original paleo-Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, or selected as "correct" by the papal Council of Carthage in 397AD (except for the Deuterocanonical books which were removed from the King James version in 1611 of course).

This is probably the worst example you could have chosen. You know very well that every year there are lawsuits that come out "if you ever took this drug, ..." because medicine is a very new technology compared to how long the world has been around. It is constantly being proven to have major side effects.

I'm not sure why you don't seem to understand what you just wrote. You would rather take the brand new technology that has known deadly side-effects over the one that has been around for 1000s of years?! :wtf: :wtf: :doh:

Some people seem to be incapable of understanding the meaning of the word theory in a scientific context. They assume that it must mean guess, because the concept of words having different meanings in different contexts is too difficult to grasp. See the reply immediately above mine, for example. :doh:

So, a fan oven has proven deadly side effects when used according to prescription like medicine does? No, therefore, it is a failed analogy.

Of course, by "proven truth", you mean "other people who follow the same religion say it's true, so it must be true". * :rolleyes: I'd rather pick the option that leaves itself open to improvement as new evidence is discovered. The alternative - setting out an absolute unalterable "truth" which never adapts to new evidence - seems particularly illogical. I accept that some people find it comforting to be told what to think, and to never have to adapt to new facts. But that doesn't give them the right to force others to accept their "truth" - particularly not when they can't even agree on what that "truth" is to begin with. * And no, before you try to make the analogy, that's not the same as science. With religion, you're told "the answer is 42 because I said so, now stop asking questions". With science, you have access to the evidence and the reasoning behind the conclusion, and you're actively encouraged to question and challenge it.

Nope.

I don't know what experience you have with religions, but no religion that I am familiar with fits that description.
