Be Honest

[TheBear]

This is for those who believe the earth and the universe are only 6,000-10,000 years old.

Science has well established a plethora of dating methods such as the various radiometric dating, obsidian hydration dating, thermoluminescence dating, varve analysis, ice coring, background radiation measurements, redshift, the Hubble constant, parallax, and a host of other methods. All of these methods and measurements point to the same conclusion - that the earth and universe are much, much older than 10,000 years, by order of magnitude.

So, your next logical step is to go through all the methods and measurements, and start nit-picking at each and every one, and show conclusively how they're all grossly flawed. If you ever succeed in that endeavor, you then need to explain how all these grossly flawed methods and measurements, all point to the same results. (that's where the real fun begins)

Be honest. Do you ever stop and think that perhaps this part of your beliefs are wrong?

A quick cut and paste and you see revealed, the fatal flaw:

"Atheist scientists cannot recognize this because they are under malevolent spiritual influence. They belong to Satan and his demons. Their minds are like rats in a maze, and they don't understand they are being toyed with. Scientists can reason extremely well, but just as soon as that reasoning is applied to God and creationism, their ability to reason just falls apart. It's very frustrating for me, just as it's frustrating for you to see someone like me seemingly unable to grasp what you believe makes perfect sense."

That's funny.

I'm just asking them to be honest in answering my bottom line question of if they ever stop and think that perhaps this part of their beliefs are wrong.

A life of reason is a life well lived
But reason for some is like being shivved

The methods of dating are many fold
From phosphor to light it's all very bold

It all does seem to point the same way
And billions of years is what they all do say

So now we see the means to disprove this
Would run into problems with statistical analysis

Have you noticed that there are no YEC's here any more?

Does that mean we win?

Pfft, I'm still not convinced he isn't a Poe of epic proportions .

I believe that this is a variation on "Goodbyte's Law":

The quality of a question is inversely proportional to the number of creationists attempting to answer it.

God Said it;

Except God didn't say it, Man wrote it.

Wow. You atheist, God-hating, Satan-following, Kitten-eating scienticks are sooooo ignorant of scripture. I introduce you to Verbal Plenary Inspiration. So what if it is not in the Bible anywhere... I am being guided by The Holy Ghost and you are not. Therefore, my interpretation of the non-interpretable Bible is God's Infallible Word.

As for me speaking as someone who is Controlled by Satan and His Demons, I think it is VERY unfair that I should ever get a warning about anything I might post.

I mean, its like having Turrets syndrome but worse. I should claim disability.

Ooh, Turrets syndrome is bad, much worse than tourette's. The uncontrollable belief that you're a little tower.

*shudder*

'Gun Turrets' is the worst manifestation of the syndrome - the uncontrollable firing off of firearms. (Also known as being American.)

 

[Hespera]

Sheesh. I typed in "turrets" and it showed some links but I should have followed them further. I had this feeling the spelling wasnt right but lack of due diligence and etc.



As for the symptoms of "turrets" there is also Crenelation Syndrome.

I do have a .38 revolver but I only shoot it at the range. And of course, I was instructed that 'gun control" means hitting your target. No uncontrolled firing off of firearms.

Which is now making me suspect an ad hom got slipped in back there, about Americans and negligent discharge.

That's right!

They check their brains at the door and dump their cash in the basket. No wonder they're referred to as sheep.

You think that is funny than you will probably keel over on this.

Dawkins said
I believe it
That settles it

They check their brains in at the door and poke fun of their Creator and refer to themselves as monkies and apes.

Oh we do have fun here on this forum don't we??

Perhaps pray for yourself first, SR.
