I think there is a problem of perception. For example, the Creationist comes across as a strong advocate for Christianity because creationism is inherantly a defense of it. Whereas, theistic evolution is not a defensive stance. So a creationist ministry is, by its very nature an apologetic...

Like what? edit: I'm not here to be cantankerous or try and make a point, I'm actually curious.

I always thought the human soul had its origin in platonic dualism/gnosticism and that the Bible didn't actually teach we have immaterial ghosts that detach from our bodies and float away after we die.

All us Canadians are all liberal humanist socialists. So I've been told.

While I am not a young earth creationist, I don't have issue with a "We don't know" answer. I think it is more honest than many of the conclusions spouted off by people on all sides. At some point, everyone needs to take their stance on faith, because not all questions are answerable, and no...

Why did the thread keep going after this post?

I love the Bible. With all the diverse approaches people have had to it over the centuries, they still reach the same fundamental conclusions about God. I think that often ambiguity is left in various parts of the scriptures to allow people of all cultures and opinions to perceive the...

My wife is expecting another baby. I can't tell you what day or hour it is going to be born, but I know it will be before November. Also, when you say this causes a crisis for the early church, what you mean is, "I speculate this would cause a crisis in the early church but have no historical...

He wasn't saying I did. Actually I was talking about Harold Camping. I would love for you to elaborate on this some more. That doesn't make any sense. If you wanted to interpret Jesus assertion that the end of the world would happen in such a short time, Matthew 24:35-36 wouldn't affect...

A guy who has predicted the end of the world before and been wrong has told us all this time he got it right. I'm going to take his word over your fancy "Bible" verse (Good thing we don't live in Old Testament times where he would have been stoned for getting his first prophecy wrong, otherwise...

You guys only have 20 days to sort this out before the world ends anyway.

My favourite line, And good advice for any situation:

I know its against the rules but.... I call troll

So then are the meteorites like God's reset button?

That was like pulling out a 5th puppy on mark. Puppy Surprise

If we define Liberal as "new", then creationists believe the earth itself is liberal and evolutionists believe it is conservative. So which is it? Do we live in a liberal world or a conservative world? If we can prove our world to be very liberal, then the creationists are right, but if we...

I'm assuming your :doh: is because after reading my post you were like, *smack* "Oh man, why did I not realize this before!" Its ok. The atheists have done well to subliminally get us to reject the scriptures without even realizing we were doing it. I am glad I was able to bring another...

Please stay on topic. We are talking about who would win between a hippo and an elephant if they fought. Also, did you really just report a 4 month old thread to mods that you were engaged in at the time and didn't report then?

Papias, you are letting naturalism dictate your worldview rather than God. People still ask the question, why is the sky blue? And naturalist science tells us that "Rayleigh scattering" accounts for it - that as light travels through the atmosphere, the wave lengths of light get altered and...

So if I understand where this thread has landed correctly, Peter Enns has a Behemoth and Augustine debated at circuses?
