I have reason to doubt. I'll let the LORD judge, but I am just urging you to rego over it, and seriously consider if you have, brother.

Do you know that almost all scientists are Christians even the ones that are in the field of evolution?
"What is living" and "What is dead" is more of an argument over definitions. Semantic holism merely states that, frankly, you can't ever be sure of anything, because there's always a way around it.Morat what is your definition of aliving thing? If it does not follow your rules then it must dead. who can prove otherwise? It is the same philosophy that says you cannot prove some thing does not exist

How on earth could you prove that or even make that statement? That's like me saying all evolution theory believing scientists are being controlled by satan. I can't prove it, so using it in a science forum argument is pretty much ignored and pointless right?

That is laughable to say the least.
I guess a *Christian* has a different definition in academia.

Well my advisor (an evolutionary geneticist and population theorist) accepts Jesus Christ as her personal lord and savior. What defination do you use?

If God used evolution to create everything then the first 3 chapters of Genesis are figurative and not literal.
If the account in Genesis is not literal then Jesus was wrong when he referred to the first man and woman and even quoted from Genesis.
If Jesus was wrong then he could not be God and therefore his sacrifice on the cross would be worthless.
I don't believe in evolution and I have read both sides of the argument.
I feel it is a waste of our time to go on and on over a subject that will most likely never be resolved since both sides have compelling arguments.

Does Creationism have a compelling argument that does not depend on the validity of the Bible?
If so, please post it. We've been waiting.

Your perogative. You should just be aware that, in so doing, you are rejecting the methods and results of 100+ years of strenuous scientific research in favor faith in your own fallible interpretation of the Bible.
You should also be aware that what "you believe" has no bearing on what science has shown and what should or can be taught in public school science classes.

Yes it is my perogative.
My son goes to a Christian school so he isn't indoctrinated with naturalism.
