False. No such agreement exists. False. This is not what Science says. We are similar to that which we descended from, to a degree that diminishes with the amount of time/evolution between us and our ancestors. False. We can explain this, and it is not magic. You seem to think that just...

No, don't you get it DH? The evil liberals are persecuting everybody who disagrees with them. This explains the so-called "status quo," and invalidates it as a means of authority. (/s)

They don't? The Grand Canyon is six million years of weathering! We find it by looking at the big hole in the ground. Wait, there was a large cloud layer containing enough water to flood the entire Earth to a height above the highest mountain? That's 4.0908 quintillion cubic meters of water...

...Adam's Earth/firmament? What is that? And how can a "firmament" be dissolved in water? Is it water-soluble?

...because 'universe goes along, then humans start existing for reasons where they didn't before' is a valid history of time? Because the universe and humans can have different starting times? The linked article shows that the universe could be time-infinite. This doesn't require humanity to be...

So God selected, out of all possible universes, this particular universe because of its contents? That's one of the most consistent and plausible theories of God that I've heard... and since it's probably indistinguishable (not testably different) from my favored cosmology (many-worlds), it...

...poofing? Do you mean handwaving? We actually have an explanation for abiogenesis beyond "it happened one day," you know. If you took the time to look at the Wikipedia page on abiogenesis, you'd see that it says: There is no shortage of discussion about the origin of life among...

What does that mean? Did God make the first self-replicator and then guide it from there?

...what? The universe can be eternal without humans also having always existed.

And how do you know that? I can draw up a Venn diagram where one circle represents Xqrstb, one circle represents Turnkl, and the middle represents all that we can see. Is that evidence for Xqrstb and Turnkl?

So man simply cannot understand this? Why, then, do you claim this understanding? And without science, we would not have the resources or capability to feed the world. Science is far from useless. And curiosity for its own sake very often leads to applied science. Without Einstein's thought...

What other kind is there?

Geology is directly relevant to the age of the Earth. Law is not directly relevant to theology. But if a non-geologist has a decent point to make about geology, by all means let them present it. It is just that creationists almost never have any good criticisms of geology - their criticism...

It's not an "equation," it's a set with certain properties. For the Bible and Quran both, there exists a set H of important-people-of-that-holy-book such that for all X in Q, X never preached violence. Or equivalently, {X∈H|X never preached violence}≠∅. And furthermore, I never drew a direct...

Well, that's the question, isn't it? Why would God make the Earth seem billions of years older than, according to a literal interpretation of the Bible, it is?

He never claimed that there was any evidence that the author was lying; you're making that up. I'm not sure you can distinguish between "lack of evidence that he tells the truth" and "evidence that he lies." And of course you know that he was fair and honest, because he ended up agreeing with...

Ah, yes. An argument presented by somebody without a law degree, countering the arguments of somebody with a law degree, are by necessity and definition moot and invalid. Because, as we all know, you need an education better than or equal to that of your opponent in a specific area to refute...

"It's not just wrong, it's evil! Make sure you guard your minds against the evil doubters; don't let them poison your minds with their reasoning."

If that is the mind of Christ, I'm not sure I want to join! It seems like you're in a cult of irrationality. If science couldn't answer the questions, maybe nothing can answer them! Just because the Bible claims to have answers that nobody else does, doesn't mean that the Bible actually knows...

Why do you think that what you were raised to believe is likely to be true? How does one determine which understanding is accurate and true? You can't use evidence, as evidence is antithetical to faith. So what else works to distinguish truth from falsehood?
