  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The lack of respect for a book you consider as holy is amazing. But your lack of respect for other cultures is really close to racism.
I beg your pardon!?

He's a KJVO...
That's right.

A lot of people don't understand how a KJVO operates, and it shows in their expectations of me.

They expect me to address their points when they appeal to another language, thinking they've made a point against me, and it doesn't work.

Instead, they get a lesson in KJVO, and end up going straight to vent & ridicule without passing GO.

Well, considering the original language in the garden was English, I'd say you picked the correct version, right? ;)

When there's only one Version, it's hard not to.

The others are just translations.

The lack of respect shown in your post is in my opinion very close to racism.
I'm not going to dignify this with a response; other than to say I'll assume it's just another false accusation to add to the [long] list.

I have noticed that they have an amazing ability to get stuck on things that have nothing at all to do with the Bible. It just confirms the fact that everyone knows deep down inside of them what is true. Because sometimes they have an amazing ability to avoid the truth. To try and deny that they know the truth will not help them any.
You just did a good job describing many creationists here. :thumbsup:



They will be held accountable, no matter how much they try to deny the truth.
And there's the Big Creationist Stick we have all come to love! :preach:

Why would you expect the Creator to violate the very laws He created?
Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

But indeed, that is a proscriptive law made for mankind to follow. We are talking about the physical laws of the universe, which are descriptive, not proscriptive. From a Christian point of view, the laws of the universe were created by God to allow the universe to function as God intended it to function. Why would he ever need or even desire to muck with them? Only if he were NOT all-knowing and all-powerful (e.g. a man) would he need to fiddle with them.

So changing descriptions with every other new discovery is considered having the truth?

Still nothing on *how* it was done. Try again. Show how it has more explanatory power than the mainstream scientific theories. Hint: you will need to show your familiarity with those theories for this to make any sense.

Creatio ex nihilo & creatio ex materia.
Did you think that altering my post to change its intent would lend substance to your response?

Anytime knowledge improves our understanding of reality, then yes. I'm sorry your belief paradigm does not allow for this. Not to worry though, fortunately we have millions of dedicated people working on improving our understanding of reality.

Would you consider clinging to old, out-dated and/or falsified descriptions closer to the truth?
Closer to the truth ≠ having the truth.

Beats sticking ones' head in the sand and not accepting new information when it becomes available.
QV please:
In reading about entropy just now (symbolized by the letter H), I came across this definition:
A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message.
Thus I would like to submit this as the equation for the entropy of the Bible:

  • ΔH(Bible)=0
In English, it simply states that the change [Δ] in the entropy [H] of the Bible equals zero.

Put another way, there is no change in the loss of information in the Bible.

The Telephone Game, which relies on entropy, does not apply.
