How do creationists feel when people accuse them of lying for Jesus?

You mean like creatio ex nihilo?

Absolutely. It's a Latin term commonly used in English. If he has a problem with non sequitur then he should have a problem with creatio ex nihilo and myriad other terms that we hear every day.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yup, can't say that one either. Much too hard.

I know some 5[sup]th[/sup] graders who can teach you how.

How about you guys' problem with English? As in embedded age?

The problems with the concepts you propose have been explained to you in depth. That you fail to see them is not to blame on our command (or lack thereof) of the language.

But let's not further derail this thread. If you want to discuss that, start a new thread about it.

Are you going to fly them to the Netherlands for me, or do I have to come over?

Perhaps skyping is an idea?

I have no problem with that term. I know what it means, I understand what it means, and I don't proclaim it to be a fad that should be avoided. We are not really concerned with word meaning or theological applications here, but rather etymology.

I may deny that embedded age is descriptive of reality, but I do not deny it's usefulness as a term.

I didn't say a word about "concepts." I said "English." Are we having problems with comprehension now? Your problems are starting to grow.

Why? Aren't there any 5[sup]th[/sup] graders in the Netherlands?

 

[Tomk80]

My guess is none that you know.

I'll ask around, maybe I can borrow some. How would those be? Dutch school systems have a different class system.

Don't forget --- some came our way --- check your harbor, you're missing a ship.

Ah, you can have 'em. And the ship. We have enough of both

About 10 years old, right? That's fifth grade? Kids start 1st grade at 5?

Not threatened, just annoyed by people who attend/ed school and think that makes them educated.....

Ah, so it's envy. That explains much.

Too bad age isn't something that can be "embedded."

Speak english and leave the Latin to Homer, my dear. I ain't impressed.

Nip? Homer was Greek. He probably spoke Greek, not Latin.

Don't bother the man with facts -- he's clearly never cared for them before.

How do creationists feel when people accuse them of lying for Jesus?

Guilty, for being caught out in the lie, or sanctimoniously self righteous and persecuted... if they are scientifically illiterate brainwashed followers...

Ouch --- that stung a little!

 

[EnemyPartyII]

Your in a tiny minority who seems to acknowledge what the science says, just don't believe its true...

I don't think you've ever lied for Jesus have you?

 

[Dal M.]

Maybe not, but geez. "Leave the Latin to Homer"?

Leave the Latin. To Homer.

The Latin.

I know this entire ridiculous tangent started because Nip got upset about what he perceived to be me boasting about my education - which is really very modest, especially compared to that of the scientists on this forum - so it's probably not something I should pick at further, but man. "Leave the Latin to Homer." Man.

Homer Simpson represents the slob, and if anything a GEEK and not a Greek....
