Huh? What assumption are you talking about? It might be some debate tactics to attack imaginary claims that no one made, but this won't work on an Internet forum where everyone can read what was posted. Please read the responses that you got here, and then read again the article that you...

Huh? You seem to somehow read a different thread than the rest of us. The light speed limit is current state of science and is confirmed by all experiments and observations since more than 100 years. Have you read this thread, and the link that you posted? There is no argument in favor of...

This is certainly true, but it's a one-way connection. For God being the cause of any event in the universe, a time-like path is only required, but all paths that connect the event back to creation time are space-like. If God could already foresee at Big Bang time an event like Adam's fall, and...

This is again a typical misunderstanding caused by a "literal" interpretation of the bible. Not God needed to compete with other gods, but his followers thought he needed to compete, and thus filled the bible with stories about God's successful wars against other tribes. But God did not...

Although I disagree with Clearsky's assumptions about free will, she's right about the impossibility of time-travel reference frames in our universe. It is a common misconception that the light speed limit is a common misconception;). I'm just having General Relativity in university and learned...

As far as I've heard, there is some new evidence for the Flood. It happened about 8000 years ago in the Black Sea area and flooded 60,000 square miles of land. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_theory

The apparent errors and contradictions of Scripture are just as they appear - simple errors. It is understandable that a book by hundreds of authors of different knowledge and education has lots of errors and contradictions. Your assumption of a cruel God is just based on such errors. Look at...

Yes, but the question is why God used a human vessel only for some actions and not for others. God didn't need a human vessel for carving the stone tables with the 10 commandments, or for killing the firstborn Egyptians. Sometimes he used the Israelite warriors for killing some tribe, sometimes...

The book of Revelation has so many totally different interpretations that the only thing certain about it is that it was written. No one knows by whom, in what purpose, what it means and if it belongs to the Bible or not. The preterist view holds that the contents of Revelation constitute a...

If the science textbook used by graduate school of ICR contains any better arguments for Creationism to be a science, please just post them here. Otherwise it's fine also. Creationism does not fulfill the usual criteria to be a science. But this is not a point of high importance for me because...

No, Creationism does not teach the principle of gravity. Last time I checked, it was still General Relativity Theory that teaches the principle of gravity. Maybe you meant to say that Creationism is not in contradiction with the principle of gravity. But the same can be said of astrology, palm...

Creationism is certainly a faith, but I don't think that it fulfills the requirements for being a science. The production of textbooks by Creationists is not a criteria of science. The facts against Creationism being a science are: 1. Science collects observations and deducts a theory from...

This is not necessarily a change in God's character. It can also be a change in how people of that time understood God's character. Nomadic tribes, such as the Israelites (= probably the Hyksos tribe) during the exodus needed the fierce warrior God. They had to fight their way and their God had...

In this context there are even more powerful and prophetic significances. Vowels don't exist in Hebrew writing, so you can build thousands of different word combinations from the four letters YHWH, for instance maybe "Good bye and thank you for the fish". Or even, "Hand behold nail behold"...

It's a factor. No units. Multiply it with any length and you get the expansion of the length over time. For instance, if you take a photon and wait a million years, then it's wave length has increased by 6 x 10^-5 times the original wave length.

Which part of Genesis do you mean? The part with the animals created before Man, or the part with the animals created after Man? Obviously, when you take both parts literal, one of them is a lie. And when you then claim an "apparent age" of the earth, it adds cheating to the lie. Well, I'm sure...

I think the main problem of debates of this kind is the difference in knowledge of participants about the subject of the debate. Therefore for a fruitful debate it would be very good for everyone to start with some some basic, agreed understanding of the Big Bang theory. A very good starting...

Even when this was meant as a rhetoric reply, let me answer seriously. Yes, I think there is a spiritual advantage, because God honors truth. To err is certainly not a sin. But to err for the wrong reasons can be a sin. Such wrong reasons can be laziness, corruption, or even wishful thinking...

I would also be interested in the answer. Is there a spiritual benefit in a certain interpretation of Genesis over other interpretations? Mostly the question is answered along the line "if you don't believe in a certain part of the Bible, then you can just as well not believe in any part of the...

This gives me a heretic thought: Does scripture really tell us that God is unchanging? When you read scripture, God obviously behaves very different. In the beginning, he interfered a lot, made covenants with people, took part in wars, and so on. But he interfered less and less. By the end of...
