Hey guys. I realize that this is an old thread, but... I've recently read the Left Behind series, and my friends also wanted to come up with a RPG setting based on it. This has happened. You can find out more at http://emlia.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Tripocalypse

I have the same doubts about God's omnibenevolence as I have about God's omnipotence, and was about to post something like this... except given the answers that I got, you did a much more thorough job of documenting it :clap: Back to sources for me, I hope you don't mind if I watch this topic.

There was a great apologetics forum here last I visited, they moved all the subforums around though. Second the request for help, where'd it go?

Why do most Christians -- well, most theists -- insist on the notion that God is omnipotent/all-powerful? This generates a lot of problems, I think. :) First off, there's the "Can God make a rock so heavy even He can't lift it" thing. :)Second, Occam's razor -- let's suppose that I've decided...

Very nice! Now I wish I could register another account to get the cre perspective. Did you ever play "A Mind Forever Voyaging"? Great oldschool Infocom game. You've succeeded in reminding me of it and I can't think of a better compliment.

Well, the question there would be -- what if God's idea of good is antithetical to humanity's? I mean, when I design a computer system I don't much care for the comfort of the programs that run on it (I am supposed to care for the users of it, but eh...). Would God see humanity as end users...

Most people didn't get "Idiocracy" either, so? :)

I think dreaming often is a side effect of being creative.... which IS a survival trait.

Actually, "natural selection" of that sort is used in industry to optimize some algorithms.

Maybe having a short definition of terms (that everyone can agree upon-that's the hard part) on this site as a sticky topic, so one click away and on the same server, might help. People are lazy :) I know I am.

Does that means we can pelt the instructor with these in baraminology 101?

Morton's Demon?

I think we should have a sticky post in this forum explaining what "theory", "hypothesis", "provable", "falsifiable" and so on mean. It'd save a lot of time :)

I wonder if dad has ever seen "Inherit the Wind".... (the version with Spencer Tracy in it), it has a nice quote about this sort of thinking. (from: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/MovieSpeeches/moviespeechinheritthewind.html )

Gottservant gives me the impression that he has learned most of what he thinks he knows about evolutionary biology from the Cartoon Network... or pretend to, possibly for some statistical purpose since he keeps making polls. Dear Gottservant: 1- Evolution affects POPULATIONS, not SINGLE...

No, I'm not a creationist... however, I've been asked to change my perspective on things for a while, by a person I greatly respect, to give them a try. I'm still deciding how to do that if it's at all possible. I apologize if my original post was misinterpreted: what I wanted to point out is...

It strikes me as ironic that evolutionists have to push science education to evangelize people because, well, otherwise the evangelicals creationists will eventually outbreed/outevolve them. How often do you see a conflict of ideas in which one faction unconsciously practices what it...

Part of it is that the Origins Theology forum specifically bans cr/evo discussion.

Truthiness does...

It can make an educated guess (as opposed to an uninformed one).
