    "My horror at what I was seeing only increased. There was a major problem; the data I was seeing at work, was not agreeing with what I had been taught as a Christian." ... I took a poll of my ICR graduate friends who have worked in the oil industry. I asked them one question. "From your oil...

    So they identify it, determine its position, and just stick it in a file? Why would the oil company pay money for this? Surely they must do something with the data that helps them find oil.

    Then we go where the evidence leads us. Has he produced peer reviewed articles yet? What happens when phylogenetics does help us find cures faster based on the evolution model?

    So you guys don't think they use index fossils and the model of the 4.5 billion year old geological column when studying core samples? What do you guys think the process is? After many debates you still think that the only tree that exists is in the textbooks? You don't think that...

    Evolution and Heaven?

    I said "Maybe there is another article in Vine's you are using" and you were. Your original reference wasn't very clear and obviously I made a mistake and found what I thought you were using as a reference. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I do disagree with the definition that Vine's gives...

    Evolution and Heaven?

    Vine's Expository Dictionary is a New Testament Greek dictionary, it doesn't define the word bara'. You started by referring to the Hebrew word bara' and then attempted to use a dictionary that looks at Greek NT words. Does this seem like equivocation to anyone else? Also, what I could find of...

    Best book to learn about evolution

    I would very highly recommend "Only A Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul " by Kenneth Miller. It cuts right to the heart of the matter and focuses on the non-scientific barriers people have put up so that they can't even consider evolution. It's a short book, and Miller is a...

    Evolution and Heaven?

    First question; did you make this definition up? I've never heard the word "creation" be defined using the word "nonpoetic". If you use this definition then of course evolution will contradict "creation". That is not a common definition though, and it's not how anybody else I know understands...

    Evolution and Heaven?

    You didn't answer his question. Quote what he said when he was equivocating, and explain what makes it equivocating. Continuing to misrepresent his view is the reason I haven't bothered much with responding to you, you couldn't care less about what we TEs actually believe, you just want to...

    Evolution and Heaven?

    You'll have to make your point more clear. He is like every one of us. He is fully human. At the same time he is fully God. It's a counter-intuitive doctrine but that's what it is. I'm not sure what point you are getting at. Yes, a miraculous birth defies what we know about procreation...

    If decay rates changed?

    Even though ice core sampling is incredibly robust, they still have to find a way to deny it: http://www.christianforums.com/t7594269/
