Gap theory could explain the age of the earth, but it wouldn't really explain the fossil record. A better view of Genesis 1-2 IMO is that each day represents a period of hundreds of millions of years, over the course of which God allowed life to arise and evolve, eventually resulting in beings...

My fiance and I have selected our wedding venue, and the owners have offered a discount if we are able to get them into the #1 spot for best wedding venue in western Washington. The owners are a really nice Christian couple. If you have a moment, please vote for them. :) You can use your...

Metal, I'm currently on a flight so I'll make this brief. We do not observe one "kind" evolving into another "kind" simply because there hasn't been sufficient time to observe it. We have, however, observed the evolution of "new structures" as well as "new information" - two points that YECs...

Interesting idea. It is worthy to note that around the same time a massive flood occurred in the Black Sea region (which I personally believe is Noah's flood), there was another massive flood not too far from where I live, in what is now eastern Washington State. Both were caused by breaking of...

Dead theory? It is accepted by virtually all scientists, including ones that aren't even trained in applicable friends (e.g. biology). Who "formally asked" you to move on? This strikes me as rather creepy.

First, please define macroevolution. This isn't a term that biologists commonly use, and I would rather avoid a "moving target" that will waste time for the both of us. There are examples that I believe will fit your criteria. No scientists ever believed the earth is flat. This is a common...

It is evident that the New Jerusalem will be considerably different from the present universe. For one thing, there will be no night (Rev. 21:25). I find it awfully convenient that you omitted that verse. There are other differences, such as the lack of marriage and reproduction (Matthew 22:30)...

Thank you for expanding your position. I suppose our disagreement merely boiled down to semantics rather than doctrine. I basically agree with everything you wrote above, although I do have pity for those who died in their sins - especially friends and relatives. Of the five that died in the...

So you don't mourn at all for unbelievers that die in their sins? Rev. Moon died today and is probably in Hell. You feel no grief for his soul at all? If that is your philosophy, why bother spreading the Gospel? After all, who cares about them - let them go to Hell. Right? I think everyone here...

And yet, you seem unwilling to explain it to me. According to Genesis, God created the Sun and Moon after He created night and day. That is a literal reading of Genesis. Look, I am not a theistic evolutionist because I "want" evolution to be true. I simply find the evidence to support it...

No. I believe both Adam and Jesus are historical figures. The only difference is what you imputed to it. The creation account in Genesis contains many idioms. How else would you explain how there was day and night before the Sun and Moon existed? (Genesis 1:4-5, Genesis 1:16-17) From this...

How about Job 38:22-23? Are there literally storehouses of snow, or was God simply speaking to Job in a way that he -- a man of 2nd millennium BC -- could understand?

Nice strawman. I believe God is the creator and designer, and that He made all things through natural processes that He set into motion. That is what the overwhelming evidence suggests, anyway. If you have an alternate theory with evidence to support it, the floor is all yours.

You're suggesting that I am a natural man because I don't believe we will rejoice at the damnation of unbelievers? That is quite presumptuous of you. Frankly, I don't care what Jonathan Edwards had to say on the matter. He is not God. I do not believe that I will rejoice as my grandfather is...

So your "evidence" is your particular interpretation of the Bible? Impressive.

Snide remark aside, I guess you missed my point. You claimed that there is evidence to support a young earth and global flood. My response: the floor is yours. In other words, please present this evidence. Did this go over your head? :) Just to be sure, I double-checked every comment in the...

Well, by all means then, the floor is yours.

What you're saying doesn't hold water when it comes to the fossil record and radioactive decay. Furthermore, it lacks the ability to be falsified, as there would be no difference between an old universe and one that is created to appear old... well, except that the latter would make God a...

Scientists frequently rely on terms such as "probably" and "perhaps" because, unlike YECs, they generally error on the side of caution -- even when the probability is 99.999%. You're only further demonstrating your ignorance. See attached image. The companion is very close, and computer...

These teachings are very difficult to swallow. That said, the only part I am not convinced of is the idea that the Saints will not mourn for the damned. I think there will be a time of mourning. I find it difficult to believe that I will rejoice at the prospect of my grandfather and other...
