You would hope, but they don't. Despite the internal and external contradictions that arise from a literal interpretation, they do it anyway. For some reason, they think Christianity depends on it.
Well, if the Bible tells you to put Christ first, in a sense you're putting the Bible first to put Christ first - but I would never be that pedantic
True. I do hold out hope, and have been occasionally successful, that people can be convinced by calm, civil, rational discourse. Even Kent Hovind can be swayed!
There are cases of new species developing. But lets not tie species to "Kinds" because they are not the same, and because "species" has a handful of Daffy-nitions.
Other than that, good points.
Science is not a liar? People are people, does science not teach you that much? Of I forgot, science does not even know what a soul is. So science does not really know what makes us an individual. They do not know where you go to find personality. The only way science knows that you lie is because normal people need to invest a lot of energy in a lie and if you hook up a feedback machine it will light up like a christmas tree from all the energy needed to create a lie.
I believe that one of the many interprets of Genesis is literal.
Because a) the people who claim souls exist haven't defined it, and b) people who claim souls exist haven't presented any evidence for it. Science doesn't know what kind of dinosaur Nessie is either - but the failing isn't due to science, my friend.
Sure we do: your brain. Countless documented cases of changes to the brain show changes to personality, memory, tastes, desires, etc.
Speak for yourself - just because you're bad at lying doesn't mean we all are.
WCDo you want me to put you on my ignore list also for showing a lack of respect? We were having a conversation about the lie detector test that your employer is allowed to require you to take.
I said you were bad at lying. How is that showing a lack of respect? Are you, in fact, particularly proud of your aptitude for lying? Isn't a poor ability to lie indicative of an honest life?
Fortunately, the posts are there for all to see, and there was no such conversation. Your post was in reply to driewerf, who was in turn responding to Darla1215. No one mentioned lie-detector tests, let alone ones that employers require anyone to take.
The point was that laws do not denote absolute certainty, and they do not denote a level of certainty above theory. Though I can see why you would be confused and think I was talking about 'above absolute certainty'.Really? We can't get higher than Absolute? I am not worthy to read such words.
Looking at the definitions for 'theory' and 'law', there is no effective difference, except an emphasis that laws can be expressed in concise mathematical one-liners and are particularly tenacious.
