No, geocentrism was not the "Greek" view, or the "scientific" view. That is a Creationist spin as a way of getting around the obvious parallels. Actually, with whom are we talking about historically? The Church believed the Greek, or Aristotlean view. I was very specific in naming the view...

How creationists can uphold such incredible distortion of the "plain" meaning of the text and yet challenge TEs on their non-literal interpretations strikes me as the ultimate in hypocrisy. God stretched out the heavens implies that the heavens expanded. But how and when? This is the question...

One the first day of the creation week God made the earth out of liquid water, and on the sixth day, God made man. Therefore, age of Adam (approx) = age of earth. I know that you don't take Genesis literally all the way through, but IF you were God, how would you write the Genesis account to...

It is an interpretation of the scientific evidence. Evolutionists believe that the red shift of star's spectra (i.e. lines are compressed towards the red end of the spectrum) means or indicates that the stars or other heavenly bodies are moving away from Earth at high speeds. The creationary...

Thanks guys for replying in the way that you did. I will use some of your responses with other "authorities" on the topic, e.g. The TE Hugh Ross. Once again, thankyou.

But the truth is that it doesn't contradict the Bible -- even the supporters (i.e. Coopernicus and Galileo) of this model accepted the Bible and saw no contradictions. If you took everything literal, and say, had a problem with pornography. Jesus said that it is better to cut out the eye that...

We are not told the age of Adam when Cain and Abel were born, nor is it important. We may assume that Adam was only a few years old (he was created as a mature and fully functioning human being) when he and Eve had Cain and Abel. Obviously, they had other children around this time, as Genesis...

The Bible clearly states that death is the penalty for man's sin. Paul, in Romans 5:18-19 states basically the whole Gospel message: "So then, as the one sin condemned all mankind, in the same way the one righteous act sets all mankind free and gives them life. And just as all people...

Your two questions are easy to answer by just knowing a little bit about the Bible. a) Noah took two of every animal onto the ark...what did he do with the SEA creatures? The NIV translation of Genesis 6:20 reads: Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of...

Anyway, if we are to believe that the world is only 6000 or so years old, where does light years come into it? Cos that talks about BILLIONS of years! The first thing to note is that light years is a misleading term. When astronomers use the term "light years", they refer to distance - not...

NRL, but I don't mind Rugby. I go for the Knights, but after their behaviour out in Bathurst, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that. I hope that they prove themselves on the ground this season! Next meal: roast shark! I'll be interested to see how Johns plays after missing out on almost a year...

Scary. I only wish that Australia would sign that agreement to limit the amount of green house gases we produce, appearently it would cost us too much money.

My friend, a Stargate fan to say the least, has told me about there being a new Stargate game coming out. Have any of you people heard about such a game? Well, he's pretty excited about it. Can anyone provide me with any information on this new game that I assume is still in development?

We've got two Games CDs consisting of the old classics like Doom and Descent I and II. There is about 30 or so on each CD, but I don't play them anymore. I prefer to play the Star Wars games, although I did recently buy Halo (for the computer) even though it won't work presently. I'm hoping to...

Actually it's OpenGL (no space). Like Lithium Hobo said, you may need a new video card if your video card is not 64 MB - I think mine's 16 MB, but it's an old Voodoo Banshee [it might run, but not that good]; my Dad fixed a similar problem with OpenGL and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, but I...

I have a computer, although I personally prefer the Xbox's controller to that of the PS2. Whatever you get, enjoy.

What's the difference between science fiction and fantasy? I thought that they both meant the same thing, i.e. just made up thoughts that are not real nor are they scientifically plausable. For example, you shouldn't be able to hear any explosions in space, yet you hear both it in both of them...

Welcome and enjoy the conversations that you take up. God Bless

One of my friends sent me an invite to join Gmail, but Dad says I can't access any Internet emailing services from the home computers (they're all conected in a network with Internet traffic going between Mum's computer) because of the junk it leaves on the computer and the risk of spyware...

Welcome to CF! I hope you enjoy your time here. I sometimes say that when I'm really ticked, taking the Lord's name in vain. Thanks to Jesus' sacrifice, repent and your sin shall be forgotten by God. I'm trying to control my anger a lot more now. My main problem is a lack of patience.
