Another thing I don't understand about the creationist position...

That might point to why so many of our youth have abandoned Christianity, especially as the old Biblical Creation story is replaced by a new Science opened Creation Story.

So many of our youth went gaga over Garbage Pail Kids.

So why wouldn't they go gaga over science, which throws up ylem all over the place?

The idea that the Bible is inerrant and even the belief that the Bible is the Word of God is questioned resulting in the questioning of the beliefs of the Christian religion.

What else is old?

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

A lot of these fools turned out to be Nobel Prize winners.
I’m sure they did.
Okay.
As I have mentioned on numerous occasions God is an unfalsifiable concept in science; neither Christians nor atheists can use science to support their faith or the lack of it.
Okay. I’m not sure what that has to do with my arguments, though.

Science has created a way to try to explain away God. Professing to be wise, they became fools.
Not so. Science opens a window into how God creates. Science isn't about wisdom, it's about knowledge. Two different things.

Maybe because they can see the light of the Creation process through science?

True science does that. It starts with God and what is revealed in His word.

It seems you are illinformed and confused on.
1/ the philosophical context of scientific theory.
Nice try. Reframing belief in scientific theory to philosophical context of theory doesn't cut it. Would you jettison your Christian belief if someone supplied superior evidence of the Hindu gods?

2/ the forensic evidence underlying Eucharistic not shamanic miracles.
Studying is good before you make such a false comparison.
show me forensic evidence of CREATED life in a shamanic context , I will look at it.
creation was the context.
Reframing doesn't cut it. My claim dealt miraculous cures not created life.
3/you are also apparently illinformed on the context of evolution and indeed the lack of any single theory of evolution. It is a mish mash Of thories, hypothesis and pure conjecture, together they do not explain life.
Nice word salad.
The forensic evidence of eucharistic miracles falsify Darwin’s theory by Darwins own test.
You are entitled to your belief.
If you serious about discussions with scientists and other experts you can do so on Peaceful Science. Hope to see you there.
As for “ agnostic” on shroud. no idea what you mean.
You are not using words correctly.
The shroud is evidence that many atheists believe that history can be faked
See synonyms for agnostic

Creation wasn't a "process."

It was a series of miracles.
It's a process, a very long process. The Earth and in fact all of the Cosmos shows that truth. Hubble and James Web telescopes have opened the Cosmos to new knowledge towards that end.

Okay. I’m not sure what that has to do with my arguments, though.
This is what you wrote "Science has created a way to try to explain away God. Professing to be wise, they became fools."
Science doesn't care about the existence or non existence of God.

Here is a video where Freeman Dyson, physicist mathematical genius and devout Christian discusses the topic "Can science deal with God".
Dyson never won the Nobel prize in Physics which is a mystery to this day.

Must be that infamous anti-Christian bias of the Nobel Committee.

I am holding it up to what it claims to be. If it isn’t inerrant, then it is completely useless.
Twaddle, My theology lecturer used a much more earthy phrase to describe that argument in the 70s.

I see that you quote Rushdoony. Are you a dominionist?

On what basis do you claim God is infallible if you came to the conclusion through your mind then?

Scripture, thank God, is independent of our minds and is a complete product. God's words spoken through the Apostles are not created, they are Him and His will.

Words on paper still have to be decoded
by fallible minds.
Look at all the earnest people whe read
Genesis and conclude there really was a
world wide flood.

I'm still puzzled how anyone can say they
know Truth, unless they are infallible, or,
at least, think they are.

What would Hubble say about Jesus turning water into wine?

Hubble: It didn't happen. After all, it takes a long time to make wine.

Scientists, who argue for the existence of God and creation, present God as having His hands tied behind His back.
