human life began in Africa, is this not what the bible tells us?

[Loudmouth]

the bible is not my God, the bible is the word of God.

Is the creation also from God?

 

[ihavefoundgod951]

Is the creation also from God?

Come on now, what kind of questions are these? What does the book of Genesis say?

(Where are you going with this?)

 

[Subduction Zone]

Suit yourself.

I'm not the one wondering where I'm coming from, or how I arrive at the conclusions I do.

Perhaps you should. You would make far fewer errors that way.

I'm not.

So it seems. You are still only trolling this topic, and after how many years now?

Would God contradict himself?

So here's a list of things so far that I've noticed that can "take a hike":

- Science
- Reality
- History
- Religion

Anything else you'd like to add to the list of things that can "take a hike"?

As a matter of fact, there is! YOU and the atheists you're taking sides with can take a hike!

Sorry! I just could...not...resist!

Here's something simpler, RC:

I know the Ten Commandments and the USA Constitution exist, AV1611VET !
What I wrote was a simple consequence of ignorantly assuming that anyone's personal faith is evidence (as in where we are - Physical & Life Sciences).

It is really simple:
Faith in gods ignorantly as evidence leads to every god existing.
Actual faith is a persons personal belief in one or more gods existing.

Faith is not evidence - it is often defined as belief in the absence of evidence.
Someone's faith in something is a personal opinion, not evidence.

...yet another non reply to the question...

Which only leaves: 24th February 2015: Can you link to some of this evidence in this thread, Aldebaran? N.B. faith is not evidence, especially in Physical & Life Sciences.[/URL]

Faith is not evidence - it is often defined as belief in the absence of evidence.

Based on that, are you willing to allow a person to have their own opinion, or do you feel the need to argue about it until the person agrees with your opinion?

Nah. I think I'll just wait and see how many times you'll ask. It's kind of fun!

I will ask this basic question until you answer it somehow. Remember that you made a mistake is an answer, Aldebaran. The fun is seeing you avoiding the question !

[AV1611VET]

Faith is not evidence - it is often defined as belief in the absence of evidence.

The Bible says otherwise.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is the substance of things we hope for, and the evidence of things you guys can't see.

If faith was, as you say others often define it, the absence of evidence, then why does the Bible go on to say:

Hebrews 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

Are you admitting that the absence of evidence is what gives our elders a good report?

In addition:

Hebrew 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

So are you agreeing that we understand, from a lack of evidence, that the worlds were framed by the word of God?

 

[RealityCheck01]

The Bible says otherwise...snipped irrelevant quote...

The Bible is not a dictionary, AV1611VET !
It does not contains the English meanings of faith.

 

[Queller]

Please provide evidence for this spurious claim. I have never put down Christianity. I have denigrated some people's child-like interpretation of Genesis when it shows they have not used the brain God gave them.

Hey, Aldebaran. I'm still waiting for you to back up your lie about me.

 

[ViaCrucis]

This is where I anticipate "The English language can take a hike!" or "Dictionaries can take a hike!".

[Queller]

Now you can talk to "Realitycheck". I'm sure you two have much to agree on.

Yes, I'm certain we could discuss the idiocy and intellectual bankruptcy of the YEC train of thought.

I'm not sure why you think a Christian and an Atheist couldn't find many things to discuss. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean no one else can.

 

[Queller]

If I proclaim that belief, then it is evidence that I believe it.

No, it isn't. You could be falsely proclaiming it.

 

[Strathos]

Are we seriously arguing over the definition of faith again? That debate will go precisely nowhere, especially the way you guys are going about it.

And I concur.Please discuss the OP and not derail the thread further than it already is.

"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."--Daniel Patrick Moynihan

We have been asking for facts, and you claimed you have facts which support your argument.
