The bible isn't anti science and science isn't anti bible. The damage is from people who hate evolution because it disagrees with their interpretation of Genesis and attack science with every distortion deception and pseudo science they can dream up Again falsehood and distortions. You should...

I agree the reputation of science has been damaged by all the anti evolution rhetoric in the church. Hence creationists are much more likely to dismiss the warnings about climate change as a hoax. The consequences of that will be disastrous. And of course you have the damage to the witness of...

Sorry Mark there is more to evolution that the phenomenon described by the change in allele frequency definition. There is the history of evolution on earth over billions of years that science has uncovered, as well as the theory of evolution explaining how this process happens. Like KWcrazy...

Thanks for the illustration. Of course people who are anti science will claim the science they reject isn't real science. Experminent on fruit flies have actually show that genetic isolation ie speciation occurs very easily, as the theory of evolution predicted. You missed out the driving force...

Hi Mark :) It is the sciences Creationist disagree with that make them anti science, not the other sciences they don't have a problem with. You are still phobic if you have an irrational fear of spiders, no matter how many clowns, mice, enclosed spaces or heights you aren't afraid of.

I don't think ancient craftsmen were limitted by you lack of imagination. An abrasive harder than that rock being worked is preferable, but simply rubbing the two slabs together will produce together will act as a abrasive, nor would any abrasive be limited to quartz rich sand. Mill stones would...

Sprinkle abrasive between the rock face and another smoothish slab and move the slab back and forth. once they are sliding against each other the high points are the places in contact and get worn down more. Use finer and finer abrasive until both faces are polished smooth.

It's the 'stone of the pregnant woman ' thought to have been intended for the construction of the nearby Roman temple of Jupiter. Stone of the Pregnant Woman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia What mystical powers or pet giants did the Roman have to move the stone? Not enough apparently, as...

You mean you assume it was written as a historical narrative?

Heb 1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

Its the things Genesis 2 describes God creating that make it a creation account, not the things it doesn't describe. And God is doing this in a barren wilderness, like it says in verse 5. In fact verse 5 gives us two reasons there were no plants, there was no rain and no gardener. The verse you...

Yes. Genesis 2 describe God creating man, plants, beasts, birds and woman. Sounds like a creation account to me. How about previous to creating plants on day three? The problem of course is God creating man when there were no plants, which is a completely different order to Genesis, not to...

'Science' that dismisses established evidence based science as 'bowing to the altar of Darwinism' isn't real science, just some sort of religious commentary. If Genesis 1 & 2 are a single creation account why is there a Creation account title "These are the generations of the heavens and...

So universe and university mean the same thing? Capuchin and cappuccino? Fundament and fundamentalist?

Because while some people in the past interpreted the Genesis days literally and others figuratively, the literal intrepretation was never taught as dogma until modern creationism. Nor did Christians in the past oppose established science with their interpretation of Genesis. In fact they...
