I got three words for you: context context & context. You can not takes things OUT of CONTEXT. They will lose their meaning because they become no longer relevant. This is a BIG BIG BIG issue in archaeology. Everything has to be documents and you have to know the sequence.
We have dictionaries, we can look the definition of words up.
If you are arguing for context, it only makes sense to actually present the context of an example in the video to show how the "debunking" is taking the creationist claims out of context.
OK. AiG claims kind is either Genus or Family (sometines even in the same sentence!). So you've helped make my point.
......Do you really want people to think things through for you? Maybe we could set you up with a shock jock if you want someone to think for you. I am trying to get people to learn how to think for themselves.
My point is that people need to stick to Bishop Ussher and quit trying to add to his book or take away from it. We have to stick to the pattern or the template if we want things to come out right. What Moses gives us in the Bible (3500 years ago) is enough. We can not add to what he tells us or take away from it.
Actually you appear to be trying to annoy people. Why don't you set a good example by stopping the tap dance and engaging in honest debate. No more prevarication, no more dissembling, no more shifting the burden of proof. Demonstrate what you claim to have learnt. Educate the ignorant. Show us what we need to see.
The question is, what is the point of the story of Adam and Eve? How do they relate to us and how do we apply the lesson we learn from them to our lives?
You were the one that claimed stuff was being taken out of context. In a debate subforum. Thus, it is your job to find material that supports the claims you make, not me or anyone else.
That is nice but what does this have to do with anything? God gave it to man to name the animals. So you can call them whatever you want to call them.
All I am doing is asking for you to tell me what you think about the story of Adam and Eve. Is that asking to much to ask people to think for themselves instead of allowing others to do their thinking for them?
Uh... wrong person, this is a discussion you are having with someone else. I was talking about your claim that the video in the OP takes creationist statements out of context in order to debunk them, and then you said I had to investigate for myself rather than you defending your claim. Which I protested to. And now this. Please stay on topic and don't confuse your conversation with me with your conversation with Bungle Bear.
If by topic you are talking about the video in the first post, I have no problem with man descending from the monkey, ape or chimp. BECAUSE I believe in what they call the incarnation when GOD became a part of His creation. We tend to think of evolution as a fine tuning process. But that is not the topic.
Wow, you still aren't staying on topic of our conversation, and cut out the entire part of my post that explained what that topic was. How many times do I have to request that you not reduce my posts down to one sentence when you respond to them?
