    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    Rest could certainly be attributed to God if it means to stop doing something. I certainly dont believe that God took a nap on the seventh day. I see no reason the believe that a god would not be able to stop activity for one day. If he had setup up the universe in the previous days along with...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    I agree 100%, and as of now I haven't seen nor have I been given any evidence that the context of Genesis was meant as a metaphor. Like I have stated before, God "seeing" light must be thought to be a metaphor because of the nature of God, parables should not be taken as literal simply because...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    Is my assumption that all writing should be taken literally (whether it is religion, politics, science, etc.) unless proven otherwise wrong? If so why?

    I apologize for the mischaracterization by me.

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    I am not distorting anything. If God exists and he has given us an account of how the world was created I would expect it to be factual. All of you have told me a million times its just a metaphor yet have given no evidence of why this should be the case. Yes he is molding Genesis. In Genisis...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    I will concede your point that there are parallels. We both look for evidence of the bible to be true. I don't really see a fault in this. The problem with YEC then comes when they distort the evidence to make it want they want it to say. I could also draw parallels between YEC and what you are...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    I have no problem with using scientific evidence to judge the stories in the bible that are claimed to have come from God. False. YEC starts with the assumption of the bible being true, they then attempt to mold the evidence to their world view. My personal denial of scripture is not based on...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    I suppose I should be much clearer Jase. I should have said IF I was a Christian my thinking would go along this lines of: Assumption #1 - God is truth. Assumption #2 - The Scripture is from God. therefore where the Bible talks about ANYTHING it is truthful. However since I am not a Christian...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    I guess you're right, one shouldn't let facts, evidence, and scientific investigation get in the way of what you believe. I don't claim the bible is true. As I've argued in this post there are many errors in the bible which lead me to believe it is not inspired by God. Yet you would expect an...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    Honestly I see no problem with this logic. Althought my thinking would go more along these lines: God is truth. The Scripture is from God. therefore where the Bible talks about ANYTHING it is truthful. Modern science is simply a representation of the world around us and how the world was in...

    Why doesn't god say what he means...?

    If this religious document was from God I would expect it not to contradict modern scientific theory. Do you have any evidence that this was simply created as a metaphor? It seems to me that people want the bible to be true and in order to accomodate their faith they choose to describe what...

    Phenotypic plasticity disproves evolution

    Wrong again. Genetic drift and founder effect can greatly effect populations without being an adaptation to the environment or a form or sexual selection.

    Phenotypic plasticity disproves evolution

    The anticipation is killing me! Please send me this grand evidence that shows your hypothesis (which apparently scientists have missed for the last century) to be true. I wait your response.

    Phenotypic plasticity disproves evolution

    Have you heard of Lamarck? Have you heard of DNA? In your hypothesis how would your animals pass on these newly acquired traits?
