    Flying Spaghetti Monster

    It seems to me that FSM is an irrational response to the problem it claims to be responding it. It claims to make a point about ID. Whether or not you agree with ID, YEC, TE, or whatever, it seems to me that it should be obvious that FSM is not making an attack against anything that remotely...

    Death Before Sin

    Something I want to understand from theistic brothers and sisters. Let's assume that there's no problem with there being death before first sin. Let's consider that some ancestor of humans survived by greedily outwitting another animal, taking from it the food it had picked from a tree, and...

    Titles on Natural Selection

    Hi, I'm looking for some books on natural selection specifically. What books would you recommend that: * Don't talk about the CvE controversy * Talk specifically about the evidences and science behind natural selection * Are someway between a layman's book and a scientific document - or maybe...

    Talking About Faith

    Hi, I've created a website for faiths/worldviews to communicate with each other. It's called http://www.talkingaboutfaith.com - the idea is that all faiths will have an equal community with which to defend their positions and communicate with others of different worldviews. As a Christian, I...

    Historical Christians in Military

    Are there many/any famous Christian theologians or philosophers in history that were in the military for a good portion of their lives? I'm interested in Christians who were not pacifists, who believed that there is a right place for military forces. I'm having difficulty thinking of any...

    The wages of sin

    For those of you who are theistic evolutionists, help me to understand what is meant by the wages of sin being death. Our Lord and Saviour died on the cross to save us from our sin. He experienced both a physical death and a spiritual separation from God. It cannot be said that the death...

    Thus says the Lord

    Thus says the Lord... ...what would it take for you to dare utter these words? Imagine an emissary of a king in a foreign land. He sees the way the king of this foreign land treats his people and admires it. Feeling compelled to compliment that king, the emissary says, "Thus says my...

    Death in Adam's World

    I believe in a world where God both provides and lets us work. If I do not take certain preparations for my safety then I may lose what I have. Our society - indeed, our generation, enjoys a greater quality of life and can expect to live longer than many generations before. Why? We can...

    Heresy Hunter

    What is a heresy hunter? I have heard this title twice now. I can guess what it is based on the combination of words, but it seems to have a negative connotation...so I want to find out the story behind the terms and what exactly they refer to.

    New False Prophets? Katrina

    There are now circling around Christian groups the claim that a prophet by the name of John Mark Pool predicted the flooding of New Orleans. The website in question, http://www.wordtotheworldministries.org/new_page_1.htm contains the prophecy, in particular stating: "Flooding was seen in the...

    Sticky Proposal: Arguments NOT to make

    Hi, I'd like to propose this as a sticky thread detailing arguments YEC's should avoid, statements not to use, and attitudes to follow. Many of you probably are aware of AiG's list: http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dont_use.asp I'd like to add or reinforce the following...

    Talkorigins dishonesty

    In the spirit of threads questioning the morality and ethics of YEC sites stating lies, I begin this one on talkorigins. It is addressing the answer to Creationist argument CD241, "Are varves annular?": http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD241.html In particular, the source of...

    Help with TE description

    Hi, I was going to write an entry on the CreationWiki about TE views of Genesis, after that good article Vance had written. Then I thought, who better to write it than a TE? So this is an invitation, probably in particular to vance, gluadys, and herev, to create the theistic evolution...

    Scriptural problems with Darwinism

    Hi, I had an earlier thread, but it has quickly filled up, and I want to keep this clean and fresh. If possible, please don't have 5 replies to each of my posts. I want to be able to deal with everything. So, if you are a theistic evolutionist and someone else has already made your point...

    Evolution and the Bible

    It's probably time I ask this question... I've been reading recently how TE's believe that Scripture and evolution are compatible, and how (in their view) the objections against Darwinism are much the same as the objections against a spherical earth or heliocentrisism - based on a flawed...

    Death of innocence

    Hi, I've heard posts here, but never really experienced, the outright disgust many others feel about predestination. It surprises me, but I suppose it shouldn't when many westerners (myself included) live in a culture which puts choice on a great pedestal. I have had a most frustrating...

    Argument against atheism

    I see these forums have many atheists. Atheism is "the doctrine or belief that there is no God" (WordNet). Agnosticism is "a denial of ultimate knowledge of the existence of God; 'agnosticism holds that you can neither prove nor disprove God's existence'" (WordNet). Consider that: 1. No...

    Scripturally, what's wrong with polygamy?

    From a Scriptural viewpoint, what is the objection made against polygamy? I have been unable to find any condemnation of it in either the old or new testament. When I say polygamy, I should really say polygyny, since I'm not interested in whether wives can have more than one husband (I don't...
