It is only dangerous, if you are in a position of authority, that attempts to use the same, to influence others.

Besides that, believe as you will.

I only have authority over myself , but if I was in charge things would be very different.

The source material has changed though. This is why there are so many different religious beliefs both around the world today and throughout history.

Religious beliefs are not static. They change over time as cultures change.

I can't speak to changes that occurred before my time. I can say that while I understand more about my belief the fundamentals of my religion itself haven't changed.

That is premised on your prior brainwashing and ignorance of the material - these are clearly demonstrated in your meandering musings and refusal to correct your errors on here. You "interpret" evidence solely to fit your religious narrative, even when doing so makes you look like a complete fool. The whole aorta/gut sending 'messages' to the larynx directly to make vocalizations is a case in point.

Why is that dangerous?
Because it shows that people like you can be driven by propaganda and lies, as long as they come from your preferred 'authorities' or as long as they fit your prejudices. You reject/dismiss/ignore evidence based SOLELY on whether or not it props up your middle eastern myth fantasies, even trivially so. And such an attitude, in my view can be dangerous.

Look around you.

As an aside, I find your 'new' posting style of late to be tedious and sad.

Probably will not be responding to you any more until/unless you make more outlandish, absurdly naive 'scientific' claims.

Excessive breaking up posts is rude. And when corrected learn from your mistakes. Do you think that you can do that? If you can then may be we can have a discussion.

No need for me to make such claims. Evolution teaching is already full of them. You have no idea how absurd the ToE is. You can only prop it up because of that gigantic roll of whole cloth that dominates your thinking.

I look at pretty much the same evidence that you look at. I just see creation with purposeful design. Why is that dangerous?
You clearly misinterpret the evidence. Look at my sig. There is a definition of scientific evidence there. Does that seem to be a reasonable definition? It is not mine, I only copied and pasted from another source. I can find other science based sources that give pretty much the same definition and I have not found one scientist that disagrees with it to date.

I have no problem with tectonic plate movements. They exist in real time. What's your point?

What? Where did that come from? You claimed that you thought that the evidence could support creationism, spoiler alert it does not. I was asking about the definition in my signature. Not about the illustration in my avatar.

Sorry but "Regular Member" doesn't suggest anything 'scientific' to me, as does your avatar.

That is not the sig either. What sort of device are you using? And you should have realized your errors from context alone.

Sorry, SZ is your signature, but it suggests plate tectonics to me, nothing else.

Wrong, this is my sig:

"Scientific evidence is evidence which serves to either support or counter a scientific theory or hypothesis. Such evidence is expected to be empirical evidence and in accordance with scientific method. Standards for scientific evidence vary according to the field of inquiry, but the strength of scientific evidence is generally based on the results of statistical analysis and the strength of scientific controls."

Just as yours is "Alpha male (retired)".

I'm betting OWG has his display of signatures turned-off and forgot that there was such a thing. I have mine turned off. So when anybody refers to a sig, I have to click on their name and then on the Information tab. On a mobile device, there's even a bit more drilling.

But, it is strange that anyone who's been a member for 13 years doesn't seem to know what a signature even is.

Actually mine is now "A person of low ability".

Interesting. I didn't get all that from your signature however.

Until just now I have never snooped at someone else's 'signature' on their personal page. I have had no curiosity in that regard. So shoot me.

How would you know?

It's a moot point. I read the first few pages. If it doesn't grab me I don't continue reading...so of course I never know what happens. Lot's of things I will never know regardless of how interesting they might be.
