TE is an empty theology having no bearing on Biblical Christianity. Shrouded in ambiquity it is not discernably different then atheistic materialism in either it's logic or reasoning. there is no such thing as a TE theology. as has been shown in this forum any number of times, the theology of...

[staff edit] now, back to my OP. is anyone aware of scientific flaws in the TofE?

The word "day" in hebrew means 24 hours, did it not mean the same thing back then? no it is not. look at: Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. God calls the daylight YOM. not the daylight + darkness...

One of the complications of this is that the Abrahamic covenant is in terms of children and possession of the land. So that this great motif runs throughout Scripture like a melody in a song. God will reward obedience with lots of kids and possession of the Holy Land and will curse disobedience...

Who set ''the rules of logic''? wow, you can solve this age old paradox as well? what a bunch of really bright people we have here. so what is the answer? are the rules of logic such because they reflect the nature of God or did God create the universe and make these rules true simply because...

The fact that science can explain a process does not mean that it is the only explanation of that process nor does it mean that God wasn’t the originator/author of that process. As for any gaps in current scientific understanding, if that is a problem then it is a problem for those who put...

i just posted this: to: http://www.christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=31293974&postcount=103 and noticed the final paragraph, in the context of this issue it is true, there is nothing new under the sun.

but 'cos of the sheer embarrassment this thread gives me to be associated with Christianity. it is not just this thread. but the whole topic of creationism. the only hope is to break this association that ties YECism to Christianity in so many people's minds. for the absolute foolishness of...

what prompts this thread is a response i just finished writing at: http://www.christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=31292187&postcount=14 One of the ways of learning things on this forum is to see how often the same ideas come up from different people. The basis issues of creation-evolution are...

Forums can be very impersonal. Therefore, before posting, it is worthwhile to imagine that you are face to face with your best friend before making a comment. computer mediated communication is an interesting topic. one of the things we are finding is that people can be more honest online than...

this appears to be the final word from YECism. knowledge is fundamentally moral and private in nature, not just knowledge concerning God but all knowledge even things about the natural world.. You must be like them in order to truely understand anything important. Failure to do so, to be like...

Abiogenesis, the foundation upon which evolution rests, is impossible. the TofE does not care where the first replicators came from. Ask Hoyle and his panspermigenesis, his TofE works just fine with it inputting the first replicators. Likewise life on earth can be a great experiment from Alpha...

PS: Many christians accept a lot of things. That does not make them Biblical. If the things many christians accept are not biblical, the chances are that they are as in error .... and by their own words were they condemned. judgment starts first with the household of God, look to your own not...

GOD spoke, and it came to be durning a 6 day period and the creation was perfect. This perfect creation began to slide into corruption after the Fall of man. despite the fact that it has been pointed out repeatedly to you that the Hebrew word tov means good, complete, suitable not perfect, for...

I refused to even consider the possibility that contraception could be wrong because it went against what I "wanted" to believe. But the bible truth was undeniable. Barrenness was never viewed as something to be valued. of course the Bible is written from a POV that lots of children are a...

i came across a section on "The Eucharistic Controversy" in a chapter titled: Zurich Contra Wittenberg in the book Christ's Churches Purely Reformed: A Social History of Calvinism by Benedict that is about the discussion here concerning how Luther changed the way people (now called Protestants)...

thanks for the link to the online book. if anyone is interested the full download link to it is at: http://www.creationism.org/books/TaylorInMindsMen/TaylorInMindsMen.zip the link given has a redirection built in that messes with the security setup in my browser. poking around this website...

e: none of the above has the least thing to do with evolutionary theory.

The only theory in evolution is common descent. so i didn't have to read the whole The Structure of Evolutionary Theory by SJG? you could have told me that sooner! *grin* so natural selection, sexual selection, genetic drift aren't part of the TofE? nor is exadaption and cooption of...

you are parsing: first, it is spelled Calvinists, and we prefer Reformed as a label. in a manner that i did not intend for it to be understood. simply put, the "we" refers as it states to reformed, not "we" as inclusive of all Calvinists. this i thought was important for there will be, as...
