It's important that you think that, isn't it?
For the record, here is precisely what I believe:
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.
Can I say the same thing about you?And this shows exactly what I mean when you hold science and academia in such low regard. Even if science is 100% correct about something, if it doesn't mesh with your religious views, you cannot accept it.

It appears that you are willfully blind to corrections. They have been given countless times. Pretending that you do not see them appears to be lying to others.I will, when I see these "errors" as you see them.
Until then, I won't.
Nope. Do you know why? Because you are using bogus terminology. And even if that is the case you only get a big 'So what?'. But then most of your arguments can be refuted with just a "So what?"Planetary Evolution is linked to Chemical Evolution, which then links to Biological Evolution.
All three are under the umbrella of: Cosmic Evolution.
Along with four others: Particulate, Galactic, Stellar, and Cultural.
I already got that in Post 82.And even if that is the case you only get a big 'So what?'.
Then why on Earth repeat your error?I already got that in Post 82.
No, evolution is not atheism but it does make God out to be a liar. I object to that. And evolution is the cornerstone of atheist belief.
A famous math scientist, who was an evolutionist, once said, in response to the fact that there is no mathematical possibility that a DNA molecule can come into existence by chance:
"If it comes to believing in a mathematical impossibility or a creator, I will believe in a mathematical impossibility."
Most of the "mathematical impossibilities" by creationists are just examples of bad math. I can "prove" that those creationists do not exist using their own math. They cannot seem to understand the difference between a result and a goal. If one treats the evolution of humanity as a goal it can be shown to be mathematical impossible. If one realizes that it is as result the odds of a result approach one.Could you give a link to the source of this quotation, or could you name the famous math scientist?
The others aside, I don't believe this at all.
What's this from National Geographic then?
Earth had Two Moons, New Model Suggests
For a whole what? week? month? year?
That article is from 2011, so is it a whole decade?
Do you think they'll come out with a new one tomorrow? You're right. I'm not.
And I'm still not, since I don't believe you.
I cited that link, because someone said:Of all the models (some seven different ones) that are in existence, he calls this one model "credible," as if all the others aren't.
Which model do you prefer?
And stellar evolution is stellar?
Evolution is not the corner-stone of my atheism. I was a Christian, and I accepted the reality of evolution and the scientifically determined ages of the Earth and the universe, until I was 30. I still do not think that there is any irreconcilable conflict between theism and the findings of science.
I became an atheist as a result of studying the Bible, and learning that the Old Testament is unhistorical and that the gospels were written several decades after the death of Jesus by people who were not eye-witnesses and did not even speak the same language as Jesus.
Are you trying to steal my biography?
You here for catch-up then?I was lucky, religion was never a part of my family life.
Tanakh, what you would call the Old Testament, is 100% correct as long as you understand that it neither a history book nor a science book.Can I say the same thing about you?
You hold the Bible in such low regard, that even if the Bible is 100% correct about something, if it doesn't mesh with your academic views, you cannot accept it?
In that case, the same goes for Humpty Dumpty.Tanakh, what you would call the Old Testament, is 100% correct as long as you understand that it neither a history book nor a science book.
