Present? not as many as you would like to think.Then I'll take this:... with a grain of salt.
Christian atheism is a contradiction in terms.
But if you were to ask these "Christians," I'm sure they would say: IN THE BEGINNING GOD.Present? not as many as you would like to think.
Was a suggestion that there are not as many Christians in the world as you would like to think.
They say they are Christians but are they? some people (perhaps quite a few) just nod to keep the peace, because some Christian communities are not as loving of unbelievers as there scriptures suggest they should be, they would ostracized anyone who dared to say they didn't believe and get their children to bully the unbelievers children. (in a loving way of course)
There are perhaps millions of "Christians" in the US who just sit in church and keep their opinions to themselves to protect their families or their jobs.
(free speech? free country?)
You and I both know that anything that threatens their Big Bang ideology doesn't get a passing grade.Once again I requested a peer reviewed paper. That paper was no peer reviewed. When they try to slip that past peer review it is pointed out that the redshift observed in plasma is frequency dependent.
Nope, all it means is that this is another example of how bias peer-review is. I'm sure it was reviewed by a Big Bang supporter rather than actual plasma physicists who actually understands plasma physics.Do you realize why that means that you failed?
The irony.You are the one that keeps claiming a mythical altered state.
Of course they would because they want you to think they are Christians, that's exactly what I am saying, they do not want to rock the boat.But if you were to ask these "Christians," I'm sure they would say: IN THE BEGINNING GOD.
Jason, let's say there's a group of 100 people.Of course they would because they want you to think they are Christians, that's exactly what I am saying, they do not want to rock the boat.
They know what would happen to them and their families if they dared to tell people how they really felt.
Jason, let's say there's a group of 100 people.
Of those 100, 80 profess to be Christians; and those 80 profess to believe IN THE BEGINNING, GOD.
Later, 10% of those 80 admit they really aren't Chritians and don't believe IN THE BEGINNING, GOD.
Question: What percentage of Christians in that group believe IN THE BEGINNING, GOD?
I contend it is still 100%.
What say you?
You use mental gymnastics to convince yourself there's a God? then it's worse than I thought.Jason, let's say there's a group of 100 people.

Be that as it may (and it isn't), 100% of Christians believe IN THE BEGINNING, GOD.You use mental gymnastics to convince yourself there's a God? then it's worse than I thought.
Tricking others is one thing but tricking yourself, that's downright frightening.
It is and you are still tricking yourself.Be that as it may (and it isn't), 100% of Christians believe IN THE BEGINNING, GOD.
No evidence has been presented. Science can only consider evidence that does exist, not evidence that only exists in your head.
We have some experts proposing an alternative explanation for what we observe:In particular, cosmologists have known for a long time that the redshifts of galaxies and quasars do not mean that these objects are rushing through space at high speeds; instead they are a consequence of the expansion of space.
Since you do not believe in a Creator God, I am not surprised by your answer. But the one who will eventually be surprised is you!Modern cameras are designed much better.
Do you know what is really expanding? Experts' imagination and the gullibility of those who rely on their science fiction.As an alternate interpretation, in order to account for the exact same observations, astronomers sometimes suggest that space itself is expanding, and therefore distant galaxies actually travel faster than light but the light is dragged along with them by the expanding space and as it comes to us it is stretched but carried over to us at local light speed all along the way.
Would you accept a squid’s eye transplant?The squid eye is designed much better.
I am waiting for you to open your eyes!All you did was make the assertion that it did without ever demonstrating that it did.
I am waiting for you to open your eyes!
“Cogito, ergo sum!”By the standards of any thinking person.
I know that, but I found no prohibition against using standard dictionary definitions in this thread. If you don’t like the way I talk, please ignore my comments from now on! And post the following warning: “Only trained scientists allowed to post comments!That is the dictionary definition. It is also the wrong definition. Since we are having a scientific debate you need to use the scientific definition of theory. Try again. The definition of a scientific theory is much more stringent.
