    the PROOF is in the ........pudding???......

    Sir I apologize for not quoting the source. The author's name is Cornelius Hunter. He was earning his PhD in biophysics in Illinois at the time he wrote the book in 2001; this book from which I was quoting from is called Darwin's God. His observances about biological modification within...

    the PROOF is in the ........pudding???......

    Hey. Thanks for the info. That is quite a bibliography! I have also read the article you mentioned. I know that there is no single objective definition of the species barrier. It is noted that biologists use about a half-dozen or so definitions. I should not have used the term 'species' then...

    the PROOF is in the ........pudding???......

    Hey guys. I know I said in my last post that I was very pressed for time at the end of my school quarter's weeks, but I saw a couple topics that moved me to post again. (So I guess don't panic if I don't reply at a decent time) Anyways. danaman5 :cool: , nice name. I don't know where you...

    Absolute Truth

    Hmmm. Nothing like a deep discussion on absolutes to get me thinkin' :scratch: Hey guys.. though this has nothing in particular to do with your posts, I realize that I have had the wrong motive in defending what I call the Truth. I should not pretend to know everything about the evidences I...

    Absolute Truth

    Hey. First of all, let's say if absolute truth does exist, how do know there can be no way of knowing it? What is your reasoning on this?

    Absolute Truth

    Hey. I want to respond to all your points. But for starters, mathematics must testify to absolute truth. I don't understand your logic. 2+2 must always equal four. 2+2 can never equal five, never, whether or not one person believes it equals 5, another 3. It always equals 4 because it is...

    Is Sex the Same as Marriage

    Hey. No, sex isn't marriage, and marriage isn't sex. Marriage is a commitment in relationship to someone for life. Still, that doesn't mean sex can be used outside marriage. Marriage is the only haven for the act of sex. And in God's eyes, sex and marriage are inseparable.

    Absolute Truth

    Thanks for replying guys. Here's what I think too: Absolute truth must exist. Total relativism is self-defeating. If I say we cannot know absolute truth, I am making an absolute statement. I am saying it is true that we cannot know absolute truth. It would mean that I can say God exists, and...

    Sin, what is it?

    Scripture says sin is "missing the mark," "sin is lawlessness," "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." So, as a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary puts it, sin is "any violation of the perfect holiness of God." (www.bible.org/docs/author/litke.htm)

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    Wowee. Deja vu dude:doh: I had the exact same issue with faith when I turned 13. In particular, the existence of God. It was so intense though because, since I was a Christian already and things were fine and dandy before, it grew instead out of fear. And it didn't begin to fade for a...

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    Hmmm. Well I can't help you out unless you are serious.:| I, and I'm sure others, don't want to waste our time if you aren't serious. But I'm sure you've come across enough christians, probably even at this site, who cannot give a reason for their faith, who aren't prepared with a decent...

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    Hey no biggie. I'm no Bible scholar either. I'm simply what you might say a 'student' of the Bible and apologetics. A beginning student at that. What are the philosophical issues of yours still unresolved?

    A rational mind wouldn't believe in God

    Faith is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." (Hebrews 11:1) Absolutely, [the Christian] faith is trust, but not an irrational trust. In the words of Christian educator W. Bingham Hunter, "[the Christian] faith is a rational response to the evidence of God's...
