Yes they are. The book of Genesis is the most quoted book in the whole New Testament. The Creator of the universe when here in human form never once put any doubt on what we are told in Genesis. I would suggest ready the excellent book "The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus" if you have any doubt about that or about the importance of the Genesis account to the overall theme of the Bible.
Ask that of the Big Bang supporters? They are well and truly into the realm of either supernatural forces or some other undetermined magic.When has supernatural magic ever been the sensible conclusion?
Spot on. That's why the evolutionists usually won't do live debates with creation scientists, because they are running scared (not that they would ever admit that; instead, they'll come up with some other excuse to turn down invitations to discuss the issues with their creation-believing counterparts).

I agreed, they are upfront about their beliefs. But they don't come across as being in any way dishonest. Their arguments, particularly as summarised in their new DVD "Evolutions Achilles Heels" seem perfectly rational to many people.Creationists wear their bias on their sleeves, and they project that bias on to others in an attempt to discredit them. It is dishonest.
A matter of opinion.No, they aren't. This is something you have invented from whole cloth.

Is anyone using evolution to do since either? Does it help build computers or cure diseases? I think not.
Why would you believe that? it's not an explanation it's just a story you say you believe, why do you believe that story and not any of the other creation stories?Like it says, "In the beginning God..." I believe it happened that way. You don't, so you've got to try to find an alternative explanation, but I don't think you will, EVER.

Actually, debates between the two are quite frequent. It is just that most don't get a huge amount of press. Dawkins, as much as I hate bringing that tactless man into this, does it quite frequently. However, people have jobs, live in different locations, etc. that can make it difficult to accept a debate challenge for reasons other than feeling that they might lose. Creationists end up refusing debate challenges quite often as well, would you consider those instances to be "running scared" as well?Spot on.

I've only got a brief moment this morning, but in answer to your question, I believe it's because the flu virus mutates and so the vaccine has to be changed to target the new form of the virus. Are you somehow suggesting that this is proof of evolution? Is there any evidence that the flu virus would eventually change into something other than a virus? Also, did not the famous fruit fly experiments ably demonstrate the flaws in the fundamental ideas about how evolution is supposed to work, as summarised in this article? And you wonder why the public are so skeptical of the TOE.Are you being for real? Evolution is v important for medicine. Why do you think we need a new flu shot every yr?
I'm not sure how I got sucked into this one, but if there is a question or comment about their stand, it is much better to take it up with them. I commented to a comment about it and it has digressed to this.
Where's your evidence for your dragon story?
We have the Bible, the most studied and authenticated collection of ancient literature in the world by far. So give me an idea of how you would begin your story, have it develop a central theme over thousands of years, be written by many different writers on different continents (without the use of any modern technology I should add, while maintaining its accuracy from one copy to the next) as well as having the ability to prophesy events that would happen hundreds of years in the future?
Your story would have to be so powerful that a whole new group of people would start to believe in it and would be prepared to die to defend it.
It would have to be so powerful that even the way we record time would eventually be changed to recognise the merits of its central character.
You say, "I win"; somehow I doubt it, but if you're up for it, give it a go. I haven't got many more years ahead of me, but I would expect to hear something about your story before I die.
You mean, how life can't form (without supernatural input that it)
That would be the sensible conclusion from what they ahve discovered thus far.
Yes it does
, if God created life then He's in control of everything in the universe, including but not limited to life on this planet
Evolution would mean that God used a cruel and wasteful way to develop mankind that is supposed to be created "in the image of God."
I don't accept that
and many (not the majority admittedly) totally reject that idea as well
There are millions of people in the world who also reject such a notion.
But you can't come up with a rational explanation of how it all came about, so you've only got part of the story. If you've only got part of the story, then you don't know anything for certain.
