How many dozens of Christians did creationism drive away this past hour?

[HitchSlap]

Ah -- I see.

Requirement: Internet connection.

Or a library card.
Or a museum pass.
Or an education.
Or a trip to the zoo or aquarium.
Or a...

Good start, yes.

You think knowledge shouldnt be increased?

How many periodicals does one have to buy per year to stay current with evolution so as not to get left behind?

(Please answer this.)

None are needed.
Evolution is a closed science with nothing new to add.

Or a library card.
Or a museum pass.
Or an education.
Or a trip to the zoo or aquarium.
Or a...

Occam's razor -- just buy their periodicals and let the information come to you.

But as to your reply, I somehow don't see how someone is going to get up-to-date philosophical changes in a museum.

As far as your others, yes, get an education by buying a $250.00 book on preservation of favoured races, go to their classes for $50,000.00,* then after you graduate, keep abreast with periodicals.

* Triple that in England, thanks to Parliament, who understands the science behind Supply-and-Demand.

Theistic evolutionists exist.

Checkmate Merlin. Checkmate.

your call of checkmate is premature.
evolution teaches that man evolved.
Genesis 1 teaches that man was created.
the two are mutually exclusive.

 

[AV1611VET]

You think knowledge shouldnt be increased?

I didn't say that.

But if you're going to teach something that changes with the next set of alleles, you might as well take advantage of those who show an interest in it.

Heaven forbid they would disseminate it free to alumni.

It's a rich source of income.

Tell that to TEs. I don't have a dog in that fight.

 

[Merlin]

Sure, they recognize the bible is written by fallible men.

so, one must reject the Bible in your view?

 

[crjmurray]

So what's your take on theistic evolutionists?

 

[AV1611VET]

None are needed.
Evolution is a closed science with nothing new to add.

I'm going to disagree.

Ever heard of the Scopes Monkey Trial?

Today, thanks to multiple debates on the subject, the general public is deemed worthy of ridicule for saying we came from monkeys.

 

[HitchSlap]

None are needed.
Evolution is a closed science with nothing new to add.

Yet tens of thousands of evolutionary biologists continue to add to our understanding of origins.

Meanwhile, the bible never changes. This key be a factor in the creationist mental block. They just can't comprehend how new information adds to a collective understanding of the physical world.

 

[bhsmte]

so, one must reject the Bible in your view?

I would call it, understanding the limitations of the fallible men who penned it.

 

[Merlin]

So what's your take on theistic evolutionists?

I thought that was clear.
evolution and Genesis are mutually exclusive.

theistic evolution is contradictory to Genesis.

 

[crjmurray]

I thought that was clear.
evolution and Genesis are mutually exclusive.

theistic evolution is contradictory to Genesis.

So theistic evolutionists aren't real Christians?

 

[Merlin]

I would call it, understanding the limitations of the fallible men who penned it.

call it what you will.
It is either accepted or rejected.
a rose by any other name is still a rose.

 

[bhsmte]

call it what you will.
It is either accepted or rejected.
a rose by any other name is still a rose.

Yes.

You accept the ancient writings of fallible men are being reliable and others don't.

 

[Merlin]

So theistic evolutionists aren't real Christians?

I did not say this.
I did not define 'real christian'

we're talking about evolution vs. Genesis.
If you accept the Bible, that would include Genesis.
Therefore a theistic evolutionist is 1 who rejects the Bible.

How many Christians did creationism drive away in the past hour?

well, what a silly question!! should be more like, how many phony "christians" walk away from Christianity every hour due to creationism?

so, i voted for "other," because zero Christians leave Jesus every hour, or ever. you either believe in the living God of the Bible (and creation) or you do not. there is no middle ground. He's not left it up to us to define our beliefs if we are Christians... we follow Him and his teachings in the Bible. end of story.

Which would make them not Christian. Don't beat around the bush. Don't play games. You're saying that TEs aren't Christians.
