of course....Nathan Poe said:Oh please, FoC, haven't you made it plainly obvious that not even ABSOLUTE PROOF would shake your dogma --er, I mean, "faith?"
So you say... always nice to leave yourself an escape route, isn't it?Follower of Christ said:of course....
its all in the interpretation, isnt it Poe

Doctor Who said:The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

Please show me where I "spouted" this. If you can't, I guess you owe me an apology.Follower of Christ said:'
just stop spouting out that WE have to believe it
Maybe.........Nathan Poe said:So you say... always nice to leave yourself an escape route, isn't it?

[As I said...... First its not 6 days, then its not a global flood......then we move on to virgin birth and probably Jesus wasnt the Son of God....

When you say ''myth'' .....are you maening the virgin birth is not a factual event?gluadys said:No. That is what the myth of the virgin birth is about. If you stop discarding myths and take them as seriously as they are intended to be taken, then accepting the myth of the virgin birth is accepting that Jesus is the Son of God.
It's only if you take the "fiction is a waste of time" approach and throw myths into the dustbin that you end up throwing away the affirmation that Jesus is the Son of God.
Value your myths and your faith remains intact.
Committing? Virtually every aspect of biology and zoology is based on the theory of evolution. How much farther would you have people "commit?"Follower of Christ said:Maybe.........
About the same tactics you all use seeing how you dodge actually commiting to anything you teach / preach.
Facts change, FoC. And that's a fact.You profess it as ''fact'' seemingly, yet know that any part of it could change tomorrow....
Every scientific experiment, discovery, theory, what-have-you, has this underlying assumption: That it could be falsified tomorrow. That we accept these things as provisionally true (true until someone comes along and proves it false) is as close as anyone is ever going to come. That's close enough for everyone except you.You know, you all would have my attention the second I start seeing you say ''it appears to have happened this way....'' rather than telling us it DID....
No more true than gravity, astronomy, biology, and chemistry. Yet evolution seems to be the black sheep because...?But we all know how evolution is taught......as a theory that is absolutely true.
1: You'll never be by yourself; the other YECs will keep you company.Believe it or be ridiculed, right?
Say it isnt so, Poe, so I can spend the next hour or so laughing to myself...
Youve GOT to be kidding, right.....please say its so.....Facts change, FoC. And that's a fact.
It used to be a fact that today was Tuesday. Time passes...
It used to be a fact that nobody lived past 80 years old. This is no longer true.
It used to be a fact that talking to someone on the other side of the world was impossible. Not so anymore.
It used to be a fact that man could not fly. We took care of that one quite nicely.
1: will we ever know?Follower of Christ said:When you say ''myth'' .....are you maening the virgin birth is not a factual event?
Was Jesus born of a VIRGIN or not ???
THere is a HUGE differnce between the LAW of gravity and the IDEA of evolution...........HUGE differnce, but Im sure you dont see itNo more true than gravity, astronomy, biology, and chemistry. Yet evolution seems to be the black sheep because...?
Consult scientists, my friend.Follower of Christ said:THere is a HUGE differnce between the LAW of gravity and the IDEA of evolution...........HUGE differnce, but Im sure you dont see it
Follower of Christ said:Youve GOT to be kidding, right.....please say its so.....
THOSE are as bad as trying to compare evolution to gravity......
"Just FYI, we thought it was an uncle, now we see that it was probably more of a neighbor. For any kids who have difficulty accepting this, the Guidance office will be open to help you through this difficult time."It USED to be tuesday.......... you compare that to ''oh by the way, we screwed up children, Neanderthal WASNT youre great uncle''?
Another useful escape route: Feign moral superiority.Thats not even an intellegent comparison, so Im just going to assume youre pulling my leg....
Theory of gravity, FoC... Theory.Follower of Christ said:THere is a HUGE differnce between the LAW of gravity and the IDEA of evolution...........HUGE differnce, but Im sure you dont see it
riiiiiiiiiiiight......... the ''THEORY'' of gravity is what makes stuff fall down go boom.......Nathan Poe said:Theory of gravity, FoC... Theory.
Things fall down, but can you tell me why with ABSOLUTE PROOF?
Follower of Christ said:riiiiiiiiiiiight......... the ''THEORY'' of gravity is what makes stuff fall down go boom.......
No wonder you folks cant figure anything out, you have all these fancy terms that you can even get straight yourself
