DINOSAURS! Noah's Flood & other awesome questions.

[ElxDalto]

A story written for the audience
of the time.

I believe it was written for audiences of any and all times.

 

[ElxDalto]

Aside from the absurdity of the flood myth, one important thing to realize is that drowning the whole earth didn't work, it's still just as wicked as ever! The story was a human invention.

But it could've been worse, OR EVEN SUPER WORSE, OUR REDEEMER JESUS CHRIST MIGHT NOT HAVE SAVED US.

The fragments that we have in the bible work better with the idea that Adam and Eve "materialized" aka "incarnated" as full grown adults, the worlds new spiritual rulers, on a world that was already populated, a world that evolved from a preveous life implantation, a world that was already fallen, betrayed by its celestial administrator.

Listen to Vader.

Because it is necessary, like every so-called 'evolutionary' leftover. Science would
advance so much faster if they realized God knew what he was doing in creation.

The coccyx serves as an attachment site for tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
It also functions as an insertion point of some of the muscles of the pelvic floor.
The coccyx also functions to support and stabilize a person while he or she is in a sitting position.

Funny how all those dogs and cats and every other animal with a true tail gets along just fine without a coccyx.

 

[Paul of Eugene OR]

There's also evidence of a global flood. Where I can see the point of view of theistic evolution (I myself believed that before I accepted the Bible as fact) it doesn't make sense when you look at the geological column. Im eating my own words here, I am saying the geological column does exist. I referenced many diagrams of the grand canyon to further investigate that claim I made. In actuality a global flood is a much better answer for the layers of strata and the order of fossil records than millions of years of erosion.

Explain to me how a global flood lays down layers of sandstone.

 

[Hieronymus]

Of all the scientific theories developed in the past 500 years, two of the most powerful and best evidence are the Theory of Evolution and the Big Bang Theory.

Ah, the mantra again...

There are many more scientific theories about all kinds of things that can actually be TESTED and PROVEN to be true.

 

[Hieronymus]

Yes evolution is a theory, a scientific theory.

So they keep hypnotising us....
It's bluff though.It's a naturalistic model full of gaps and with many fundamental problems.
"O but we're still investigating it, we don't yet know everything.", they cop-out...

 

[Hieronymus]

I don't care how mankind got here. Mankind IS here so get a life.

We already got lives, otherwise we wouldn't be able to discuss it.

 

[Hieronymus]

The difficulty with that theory is that the Bible presents us with two versions of the flood account redacted together, which argues for a story which derives from oral tradition in various forms.

Evidence for that is... not there...

 

[Hieronymus]

How would you know? You don't know anything at all, it appears, about the real theory of evolution.

Great argument bro..

Listen to Vader.

Lack of faith????? It's more like you find my courage to speak out about a stubborn religious institution which has stunted the growth of billions of Christians and turned off so many more children of God who might respond to the original gospel of Christ, you find that troubling to the delusions of Bronze Age speculations.

 

[Speedwell]

Great argument bro..

It's not an argument, it's an observation. You have never, so far as I am aware, posted anything accurate about the theory of evolution.

 

[Hieronymus]

It's not an argument, it's an observation.

It is of course only your perception.

You have never, so far as I am aware, posted anything accurate about the theory of evolution.

It's a naturalistic (i.e. Godless) model with a humongous platform and ambiguous evidence and many many gaps, which even evolutionists acknowledge. 'nuff said as far as i'm concerned.

Evolution is creation in motion. This can be seen in the facts of the fossil record. Godless evolution is a theory advanced by atheistic scientist.

Bold emphasis mine

Are you saying everything natural is Godless? Seriously?

Natural-ISTIC, my friend.
It's a belief, a paradigm, a presupposition.

 

[RickG]

That seems contradictory to me. A Scientist being Christian or Atheist has nothing to do with the quality of their work.

 

[Speedwell]

Natural-ISTIC, my friend.

So you make no distinction between metaphysical naturalism and the methodological naturalism of science?
In other words, do all scientific theories appear Godless to you?

This is about origins in the distant past, so it's not empirical science anyways.
Are you suggesting ToE is not a naturalistic (attempt to a) model?

Methodological naturalism, just like any other scientific theory--not the metaphysical naturalism of atheism. The theory of evolution makes no statement or implication about the existence of God, one way or the other.

Natural-ISTIC, my friend.

It appears to me from your previous statement that you are saying everything in nature is Godless. I accept your "opinion", however, I disagree with it.
