(I am a TE, with partiality to creationists... ) I wanted to discuss a bit the Argument from Incredulity, from an irrational POV . When creationists say that "the (statistical) chances that evolution happened as described is simply imposible", Evo's simply laugh and say "oh, thats the Argument...

Seriously, I simply don't know, where is Satan first mentioned? I don't think in the Hebrew Bible that I know. There is the concept of "Azazel" that can mean many things depend the exegesis, but the actual Satan thing, where is it from?

I am a TE more or less, as I said a few times here. I have been following over the past months, the reactions to creationists by pure (atheistic?) evolutionists. One of the arguments is that creation is not a science and therfore has no place in a scientific discustion. Fine. But I ask, what...

17/20 of the threads on the front page of the international debate forum deal with israel. In the worst case scenario, lets say Israel so far killed 500 civilians and a few hundred terrorists. and that in a war that is SO moraly correct, there jsut cant be a better reason to fight back. My...

Intro: I am a Bio PhD (its official now - my graduation ceremony is this Monday :) ) I am also religious. (of the Jewish faith) I believe in science. I believe in the Hebrew Bible. Duality and dichotomy is my life… Anyway, I wanted to ask people who accept that earth...

There were quite a few issues raised in my "delurking" post, so i wanted to focus on one or two of them, taking into account what I have learned from the many informative posts. (I also wanted to clarify my training, I have yet to actually receive my PhD – my thesis has been submitted...
