Shhhhhh. Don't tell him that. Many christians need to think someone else is in charge so they can say they are "persecuted".AV ignores the fact that our government is de facto ran by Christians.

As I have said before, I wasn't called to be a scientist. God didn't gift me here for that purpose
And as you guys so plainly make it: whether a person is technologically-challenged like I am, or scientifically-educated like [the late] Dr Henry Morris, it [really] means nothing to you guys.
The only thing that matters to you guys is Who we stand for.
Would you pay more attention to a point shot down by Dispensation Theology, if the Dispensationalist was a holder of a Ph.D. in Geology, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry?
Would you pay less attention to a point shot down by Dispensation Theology, if the Dispensationalist was a holder of an AA in Business Administration
(but then, I have a Christian icon, so I guess I'm a magnet for this sort of stuff).
Again, you're preaching to the choir here. Save that for Thaumaturgy or MrGoodBytes or whomever. I'll be waiting to see what they [don't] have to say.
That's our fault, Psudopod. We Christian don't make enough money to be taxed for your programs; and the ones that do belong in prison, right?

Best explanation I've gotten yet --- if it's true. What's the difference between a science magazine and a science journal?
Ya --- it's called the Rayleigh Effect --- or some such thing --- (I think). The Rayleigh Effect = truth?
I don't mind you "good scientists" questioning each other, but when you tell us we're wrong on certain issues (the Creation, in my case), I get irritated. Especially when you tell us we're wrong because it doesn't fit some computer program you guys wrote.

QED - (so far).And yes, truth does exist.Save that for Thaumaturgy or MrGoodBytes or whomever. I'll be waiting to see what they [don't] have to say.
But more to Psudopod's point; science "explains" in that it attempts to understand as best it can. We realize we are flawed and human and will likely never know everything. Unlike some folks who, mysteriously, think they have a "lock" on absolute TRUTH (c) but can't really defend it worth much.
QED - (so far).
Looks like the only way scientists are going to line up and start lecturing on "truth doesn't exist except for alcohol and mathematics" is to have someone with a Christian icon say something is "true".
Oh --- ya --- sorry.It's "proof that doesn't exist except for alcohol and mathematics"
Once in awhile.Do you think before you type?
WOW --- one little mistake, and we have to get out the Listerine.[wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth] does truth have to do with alcohol?
Truth exists in reality but because human observation and intellect is imperfect we probably will never get to the point of having absolute truth but we can get pretty close.
Which one convinced you (or failed to convince you) that slavery is Biblical?WRONG. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
I personally have many more friends who are Christian than atheist. The person I think is the smartest living human I have ever met (or ever likely will meet) is one of my closest friends. He's a christian and a philosophy professor with a significant expetise in medieval christian thought. I have one friend whom I respect so much I've written several letters of reference for him. He's a very strongly outspoken Christian and even a "creationist".

Strongs_Concordance said:ebed: a servant, who amongst the Hebrews was commonly a slave; (NOTE: This is only part of Strongs Concordance H5650, it also includes the apparent non-slave definition as well, cf concordance)
QED - (so far).

Bringing this a bit more on topic, I've read a bit about the 'big bounce' and amazingly, it doesn't contradict the big bang theory. The idea is just that the universe expands, is condensed back into a singularity then it expands, and so on. Whether or not it's right beats me, I don't have a background in either quantum physics or cosmology.
LOL --- read that again --- slowly.Oh, so you think the only way I get ideas is from listening to someone tell me something? Nah, in that case I got it from reading history.
I thought your software called that the INFLATION MODEL.Bringing this a bit more on topic, I've read a bit about the 'big bounce' and amazingly, it doesn't contradict the big bang theory.

I notice too that when something in the Bible is evil, it's treated as if it absolutely happened. Even using technical terms to describe it; "genocide", "mass slaughter", "indentured servant", etc.
You are not right in the head.
Let's just say I'm "disabled" and leave it at that ---
Actually, I've heard people say the Flood was impossible, then turn around and condem God for drowning all those poor people. Tryin' to get it both ways I guess.
Finally. Truth.
