LOL - I am sure they are all models of propriety. I am not aware of any atheist who has been 'moderated'.

For me, being an Australian atheist on CF is sometimes an occupational hazard due to cultural misunderstandings.

I've been modulated despite my being what
I consider a model of probity.

To be honest, OB, your little childish remark to me, after I explained fallen angels, caught me by surprise.

Heretothen, I thought more highly of you than that.

But I've been telling myself that you were either just joking or maybe had a little swig of something.

You're a skeptic though.

I'm talking about atheists.

You often use god for justifying your view

Really!???

What gives you that idea???

Could it be my standards?

1. Bible says x, Science says x = go with x
2. Bible says x, Science says y = go with x
3. Bible says x, Science says ø = go with x
4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own

Prime Directive: Under no circumstances whatsoever is the Bible to be contradicted.

If that makes me greedy for perfection, imagine what those who make the phone book are greedy for?

Under what circumstances do you contradict the phone book? or a user manual? or a math test?

I don't have to prove anything to you. Nor do I have to defend Hugh Ross. If he makes more sense to me than to do, then that is the way it is. If you think he lacks credibility, you have every right to think that. But I am not beholding to you in any way. You are not a mentor for me that I have to justify to you what views I put or where I get them from. If you are going to exert some sort of authority that makes you think I have to answer to you for my views, then that ends our discussion.

" Might" have gotten it wrong?
Might have?

If like the rest of us you like to be taken
seriously you have to do better than that.
Who are "the rest of us"? I don't care if you take me seriously or not. You are not my teacher and I am not your student, so come down from where you are at and engage in a proper discussion about young verse old earth creation without making it personal. Otherwise, I am out of your loop.

That's kind of a big if, since you're not sure whether it's a plant or a cockroach that we're more closely related to than a chimpanzee. (and in fact, whichever one you finally decide on... it's just not true.)
I don't care. The point is that humans do not descend from primates. The first humans, Adam and Eve were created as brand new adult human beings and did not evolve from any previous population of half human primates.

Isn't it interesting that in every thread dealing with creation verse evolution, the personal hate speech tends to emerge when people cannot find a satisfactory answer to points put forward by the opposition in a debate.

It's always good to have a teachable spirit.
I guess you're exempt. How lucky you must be.

That's really not hate speech. Your position is incoherent and factually wrong. And I haven't been able to answer your point since you haven't decided which biological kingdom your point applies to.
