but, taking away Thalidomide, would be taking an important arrow out of AV's quiver. At least, he thinks it is important.
I'm not discussing Thalidomide.

Not with you or anyone else.

I'll mention it to make a point ... but not to discuss it.

I would probably get moderated, and rightfully so.

So explain God creating land plants before animals and before the sun.

Are you trying to shift your goalpost? If you do, I will fellow along.
The sun has nothing to do with the fossil sequence.

Well, your point falls woefully short.

Why don't you address Derelicts question?

You are the one who gave the sequence of events and ignored the out of order position of plants with relation to the sun. No goal shift at all. I just asked for an explanation of that. Would you like to provide one?

If people don't understand the point you are trying to make, how can you be making any point at all? kinda pointless to use it at all.

When I see you use it, it reminds me of the movie Up where all the dogs are talking and suddenly one of them says "squirrel" and they all turn their heads. Total non-sequitur from my point of view.

:preach: You know, the reason I left this forum over a year ago out of utter disgust was the rampant utter nonsense of some members who I believe wished to nothing other than cause trouble. Honest discussion and disagreement is great. Totally off the wall made up stuff is disruptive and frankly does more harm for Christianity than anything. It's a shame that this more than obvious behavior is still rampant here in the science forums of the Christian Forums.

This is also why I am here. I think these people who feel that being dishonest in the name of Christ is the thing to do are doing a lot of damage to Christianity.

I don't believe that Aman777 is being dishonest with his claims. He seems to sincerely believe the Bible supports his view.

I agree and I would say the same about Dad and even ED. I feel that these really believe what they are saying no matter how confused and mixed up they seems to us.

These are not the ones I for whom I have concern. It is the ones that are deliberately and willfully dishonest in their defense of creationism.

Aman did spark my comment, but the comment was directed to the science portion of the CF in general. There is science which may be disputed, but purely made up stuff is just ridiculous and should not be tolerated in what is supposed to be discussions involving science.

Any claim without at least a testable hypothesis is nothing more than fantasy. This includes embedded age, different physics in the past, and a 25 Ga Earth.

Between the lines of any paper on evolution one cares to peruse. These papers are riddled with suppositions, in fact suppositions are the glue that hold the whole theory together.
I don't understand how you can say this when you acknowledge that you don't understand some of the papers you read. You said this;

In an attempt to prove (to a certain person) that evolution is full of suppositions and unproven assumptions I sought out and read an article about the evolution of dinosaurs (written by a person with all sorts of initials after his name). While there were no specific instances of what I was seeking the whole article was gobbldygook. By the end of the article my head was spinning. It was disturbing to think that this was scientific evidence.

Dear Rick, The false accusation that I made up stuff is as ridiculous as your arrogant attitude about Science knowing more than God. Below is the Scriptural support for my understanding. I don't believe you can refute it Scripturally, Scientifically, or Historically. Fool me, and show us what an Evol worshipper you really are.

Genesis 1:6-8 shows the first "heaven" was made the 2nd Day.
Genesis 2:4 shows that other heavenS (Plural) were made the 3rd Day.

This means that we live in a Multiverse composed of at least 3 heavens or Universes. NASA and the ESA have spent Millions of dollars in a effort to launch L.I.S.A., which is supposed to happen later this year. One of the reasons for L.I.S.A. is to measure the gravitational pull exerted by other Universes within our Multiverse. Parallel universes. [VIDEO]

When this is discovered, you can tell everyone that a Creationist told you this BEFORE the discovery happens. You can tell them he told you from Genesis that we live in a Multiverse. Of course, someone who has such faith in his precious ToE, will probably refuse to believe. Congratulations, for you have positioned yourself as one of the True Scoffers, of the last days. ll Peter 3:3-7 God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

As I previously stated, there is no testable hypothesis. Until a testable hypothesis is submitted there is no science.

Science does not claim to know more than god, but observations have shown the bible to have flaws. When you view the bible as the writings of humans and not deities, why would you think twice about evidence showing it to be inaccurate?

Exactly. Are we to believe the evidence left by God's creation, or a book written by men claiming it is the infallible word of God. Why are there so many versions of bible? Why are there more than 30,000 independent Christian denominations all with differences? Who chose which scriptures to include and which to exclude?

I choose to believe the physical evidence that is there to be examined and to understand. Evidence that man cannot be altered by man. :thumbsup:

Dear Sarah, Correction: The False Goatherder interpretation is what has been shown to be incorrect Scientifically and Historically. God's Holy Word stands and NO man can refute what is ACTUALLY written. Until the world learns the True Understanding of Genesis, scientists will continue to THINK that they know more than God. In the end, they will be Refuted, and ashamed of their terrible arrogance they have inflicted upon our babies. Mat 18:6 God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

Dear Rick, Since your ideas are so false, I will suppy the answers to a couple of your misunderstandings.

There is NO evidence of our Human beginnings EXCEPT in God's Holy Word. The reason is because Adam, the first Human, was NOT made on this Earth. Adam was made on another Earth, in another heaven or Universe, which was totally destroyed in the Flood. What is really interesting is that Adam was made the SAME Day as the Big Bang of our Cosmos. Gen 2:4-7

Man's greed is usually why someone prints a Bible and tries to sell it. If you have nothing to print, but what your competitor is printing, what do YOU have to sell? It's God's will that there be more than 30k denominations. It's His way of guaranteeing that ONLY by FAITH in the Gospel of Jesus Christ can man inherit God's Immortality, wisdom, and Heaven. That FAITH is only available to those who seek the Father. Heb 11:6

God is the Author of Scripture is also the ONE who Picked the Scriptures which are included in the Bible. It's a Miracle, which only Christians can understand since He brought His Holy Word, down through the Ages, to modern man, who is finally beginning to be able to understand what He told us thousands of years ago.

Those who reject God's Holy Word are nothing more than Unregenerated people, destined for no good end. I'm always surprised that they are so far gone, they don't realize how nutty they really sound. Choosing death instead of life is NOT smart. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

This thread is and never was intended for the discussion of old earth creationism. I asked for old earth creationists to explain the fossil record without evolution. Old earth creationists do not accept evolution but believe in an old earth, that is why I asked the question to them.

Review the OP

Dear Rick, I explained that the fossil record was produced by evolution. The first words out of Adam's mouth was that the two would become one, which is the basis for the measurement of the changes in the allele frequency over time in a population, or evolution, as scientists call it.

God calls it "changes within His kinds" and Their kinds, or descent with modification since two separate indivduals produce another individual who carries the changes in genetics within his body and passes it on to his children. Modern Evols have gone beyond this view and have been teaching Falsehoods to our children for more than 50 years now.

The Big Falsehood is that Humans evolved from the common ancestor of Apes, INSTEAD of what God told us in Genesis 2:4-7. This is the Biggest Satanic Lie ever told and is ruining our children today. Jesus told us some would offend our little children and also told us of their certain Future: Mat 18:6 Here's hoping that YOU didn't participate in this Satanic teaching. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

Dear Rick, FYI, The name is Christian Forums. What you are looking for is a Godless Evol site. I've been to them and they don't like me there. They go bonkers and threaten and scold daily. You would probably fit right in there, since they REFUSE to discuss anything except their Evol Religion.

It takes a lot of gaul to come into a Christian Forum, which is nice enough to allow Godless views, and THINK that the site should allow ONLY Godless Scientists. You haven't been online for long. Have you? God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman
