I fully believe that any creation theology that requires something beyond that is guilty of "adding to" the scriptures.

In the case where a gene was duplicated and then altered via point mutations, how do you determine that it was a duplicate in the first place? Thanks in advance...I hope. :)

I am trying to put together a solid, efficient and fast algorithm for syncing data between multiple computers on a wireless internet. I could use some help designing UML, flowcharts and use cases as well. I understand that most of you are probably not computer scientists, but if you are able...

This was an interesting survey, and says exactly the exact opposite of what Creationists seem to be telling us: washingtonpost.com

This comic says it better than any essay could:

One of the key concepts of YEC - that is, that there could not be death before the fall of Adam - has always seemed untenable to me. Many times, I've been in discussions over origins, and presenting information that is not being countered, when my entire argument will be dismissed by saying...

As ancillary to my similar thread on evolution, if you have any thoughts on some of the stronger points of YEC/OEC/ID then I would like to hear them as well. This is because I want to be fair, and it's easier to involve an audience when you're treating their subject with respect. I have two...

I was talking to a YEC friend this week. He is an active open-air evangelist, and has been quite proud of participating in Ray Comfort's Origins give-away a few months ago. We got into a discussion on evolution - he mentioned very proudly that he challenged a professor doing a counter-protest...

Not an origins topic, but great to see a leading Christian and TE getting placed in such a prominent post. Francis Collins to the NIH - Tevi Troy - The Corner on National Review Online Congrats to Dr. Collins!

The latest headline from the New York Times: (presumably) :D

I'm having a conversation on evolution on another board where this came up: Essentially, the poster claims that this effect negates the need for common descent & gene replication as an explanation for the similarity of gene sequences and the adding of genetic information during...

This place is too quiet...I guess I'm going to have to stir up some more controversy. :) What is everybody's thoughts on unity either within or without the Restoration movement churches? I know some hardline Church of Christ's will never profess unity with instrumental churches; however, there...

...that ID proponents are being suppressed by academia. What you you think of this? Essentially, it points to academicians - most of them Christians - who have been dismissed or punished for holding evolutionary views. Here are a few samples: I've always been distressed about how Colling...

So, I felt like I couldn't discuss this movie without seeing it on my own, so I plunked down my seven bucks and saw it this afternoon. My report: this is the most manipulative piece of tripe I've ever seen, and that includes Micheal Moore movies. The show doesn't bother to go in depth - we...

I'm interested in seeing where the people on this board sit as far as biblical interpretation. The Hermeneutics Quiz gives a score indicating how you read the bible...I'm wondering where most RM members fit, since we are definitely conservative yet I've seen us sit apart from much of the other...

So my dad, in a subtle attempt to curb my "liberal" ways, gave me a subscription to the Gospel Advocate a few months ago. I got an edition yesterday. After my initial indignation, where in an article they referred to my minister as a "change agent" and compared him indirectly to a destructive...

All, The iTanakh is a resource maintained by Pepperdine University that contains a ton of publicly available academic treatises on the OT. It has a lot of good studies on Genesis and many topics of interest here. I know I can get lost in there... Enjoy!

I wrote this little essay for the benefit of a few friends and thought I'd share here. --------------------------------------------------------- The other day, my wife asked me to watch a clip of Beth Moore on the TV. Beth Moore, evangelist, author, speaker. I admit, I don’t listen to many...

Creationist Bingo! http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/09/creationist_bingo.php :D

I've seen this come up a few times in some recent threads, and I thought it might be interesting to explore it. Did the Hebrews markedly differ from the cultures around them, to the point that any archaeological evidence and knowledge gleaned from nearby cultures cannot be applied to them? My...
