  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Any zircon and lead you find didn't exist more than 6000 years ago.

Just out of curiosity, if zircon + lead leads you to believe it is billions of years old, what do zircon + aluminum lead you to believe?

All seriousness aside though, let me get this straight.

If God put lead into zircon (or zircon into lead) in 4004 BC, you scientists assume it was all zircon at one time, then decayed to lead over a period of billions of years.

Is that correct?
Which is why your "embedded age" nonsense makes God a deceiver.

And guess what?

Embedded age is maturity without history.

So you'll have to come up with something other than the word history, if you want to retroactively apply this to the Creation week.

As soon as you employ the word "history," your argument becomes invalid.
Stupid requirement but OK. The wolds has scars that are much older than 6,000 and offer no benefit to the "maturity" of this planet. Therefore if God put them there, He is a deceiver.

What is?

Can you even quote it w/o looking it up?

It's only three words long, and I've only been using it for about six or seven years.

"Maturity without history", right?

You use that term all the time. But it doesn't make sense the way you use it.

Very little makes sense the way AV uses it.

We call that "signs of the times."

Exciting, isn't it?

The end times don't you mean?

Doesn't that also involve lots of death and destruction? Do you find that exciting? I find your attitude frankly terrifying. The idea that there are people who claim to be good and yet actually WANT the end of the world is very disturbing.

Agreed. There's to much life to live to be sitting around, waiting for life to end. Quite frankly, it's kind of morbid.

Signs of the times,* I mean.

Unfortunately, yes.
Do you find that exciting?
No.
I find your attitude frankly terrifying.
2 Corinthians 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

We call it our "blessed hope."

Yeah, this sort of attitude.

Honestly, why do some people find it so hard to live life and love life as it is? Why do they have to get so obsessed with the afterlife that they not only lose out on this life, but rob others of it as well?

Living for God isn't losing out on this life.

As we like to put it:

Aim for earth, get earth; aim for Heaven, get both.

What happens when your idea of Heaven is wrong?

Besides, there are countless people who have thrown away this life because of their beliefs about the next.

Only if you are right. However, what are the chances of that?

Of course, everyone says that their beliefs are right and all different beliefs are wrong. But if everyone says that, then how can anyone be right?

Besides, wouldn't a just and fair and loving God reward the people who work to make this life the best it can be?

What is my idea of Heaven?

AS long as you know the answer, that's what's important.

But once again, we have someone trying to derail the thread with irrelevancies. Did I ever say I had to know what your idea of heaven was? No.

Irregardless of what my idea of Heaven is, this still stands:

Aim for earth, get earth; aim for Heaven, get both.

I think you mean that you will die thinking you are going to get both, there's a difference.
It was a saying before I was born, and it will continue to be a saying after I'm gone.
