I need backup, fellow Creationists!

Hello All,

Love this site and this forum! I also visit another forum, and the evolutionists are getting too many for me. They're not difficult to debate, only some of the other creationists on there haven't been back for awhile. If anyone can help and join in, I'd so appreciate it. They're actually very nice people so far. Anyway, it's at trueauthority.com.

Thanks so much.

In Christ Our Lord,

Locksley

Sorry to be the one to break it to you, but posting here will only get more theistic evolutionists over there; not creationists. We own this forum ;) (I mean that in a non-legal, strictly "we offer falsifications while the YECs attack our beliefs" sort of way)

Neato site though; I might have to post my Fossil Organization thread over there.... might

Ok, all theistic evolutionists please stay away. :)

Thanks,

I love how creationists dislike debating with people who refute all their points? If they're just looking for propeganda to back up their position why don't they just write a document and read it a lot. If they're actually looking to refine their position why do they reject what seems screamingly obvious from the facts?

THe whole point of having a debate is to discuss someting with someone who has a differing viewpoint.

Christian Forums has a disclaimer that states "your views WILL be challenged". So don't act suprised when they are.

If you make a statement, do not be alarmed when it is refuted. That is the point of debate. If you regard this as an attack of some kind - or are offended by it, then I would suggest another activity.

Oops. I think we scared him away.

It wouldn't be a "debate" if everyone shared the same opinion now would it.
I think his point is that he already feels outnumbered by evolutionists and wants some backup, which was why he was trying to keep you guys away. I guess he didn't know what he was getting into when he posted here. ;)

Well, I think he was right to post here if he wanted others to come over and support him in another forum. No one likes being the lone voice in the wilderness, and others might be able to explain some things better than he could.

And this is the forum where he might expect to get hold of some YEC's. The problem is that even among Christians, the YEC viewpoint is in the minority, especially in a place where the issues are actually discussed. The YEC's tend to fade away when their arguments don't stand up well in debate. So, with more Christian non-YEC's than YEC's, all he did was find very few who can back him up!

By that I assume you think that your in the majority, as in: "wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it." The problem with being a part of the majority, is that you could be headed for destruction.

Matthew 7:14
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

We're going to hell because we "own this forum"? More insane troll logic.

I'm so restraining myself from saying a lot of things here.

I'm a evolutionist! nah nah na nah na! I'm sorry i had to get that out! I really appreciate evolution because it is easier to prove scientifically than creationism.
Easier to prove?

Not likely.
Easier to have papers published when based upon?
Yes.

Theistic Evolution is just another pussyfooting around the problem.

Either the biblical account is correct, or it is not.

It never fails to suprise me how an omnipotent God (you know what that means, yes?) somehow *lacks* the power to create something as base as a universe in 6 days.

What I want to know is *why did he take so long*

The challenge: Prove evolution scientifically.

Nearest we get to proof in science is to have a theory that has stood the test of a barrage of potential falsifications. Evolution is such a theory. Creationism is not.

Yes.
Pseudoscience 101 - the conspiracy against the competing model.

Chestnuts! Get your chestnuts whilst their hot!

Seriously, though, firstly which biblical account? The one where man and woman are made at the same time, after the animals and plants, or the one where the man's made first, then the plants are planted, then the animals are made for a companion, and finally a woman is made from man's rib? They can't both be right. Or are the accounts non-literal and correct in what they were written to assert?

You could ask that about taking 6 days. The God I understand from Our Lord's revelation of Him could have done it in an instant. Question isn't "could he", but "did he".
