Then put me in line with all those scientists who thought Pluto was a planet for 76 years.
Looks like Pluto pulled a good one on them!
Being equipped to continuously test, re-evaluate, and if necessary, modify one's worldview is, to me, infinitely better than being bound to blind faith in a millenia-old, error-filled book of mythology and denying myself room to learn or grow.
Yup --- that's why text books are so expensive.
Now all those books need to be rewritten and reordered.
New students will now have to buy the updated edition, and not rent last year's books.
More to the point, Creation "science" isnt science.Yup, it doesn't seem like anyone here really knows how to teach creation science. Case closed.
Actually, I remember when I was in grade school about 45 years ago, the teacher told us then that Pluto was not really a planet. It just was not big enough to qualify as a planet. But at the time science did not want to change it.Then put me in line with all those scientists who thought Pluto was a planet for 76 years.
You do not even know what creation science is, so how can you say if it is or is not science?
My first reaction is to say that your statement is a lie.You do not even know what creation science is, so how can you say if it is or is not science?
I believe it was directed at me, and I addressed it as the statement of ignorance that it is.i'm curious, is this a generic remark, ie no one knows what creation science is so how can anyone know whether or not it is a science?
or is it a remark directed to a particular person, you do not know what creation science is, therefore you can not tell me if it is a science or not?
appears that the remark can be taken either way, with a considerable difference in outcome.

You are in bondage when you reject God. Jesus sets people free.infinitely better than being bound

Actually I have trouble with that term: Creation Science, for two reasons:
It doesn't give God enough credit.
- It's not specific enough.
Thus science has no foothold as far as The explanation.
- Everything in Genesis 1 is a singularity.
I prefer the term Biblical Creation - that says it all.
Oh well --- if scientists can't agree what Pluto is --- is it any wonder they can't agree what Earth is?
After they argue and fight it out with each other, then they expect the rest of us to roll over and accept whatever they say because they are "experts". What I have been told is that the Titanic was built by experts and the Ark was built by a amateur.
So us amateur scientiests may not know as much as the pros know, but we know more than they give us credit for a lot of the times.
The only difference is that the Titanic was real, and the Ark was a piece of mythology.
Quite an important differnce, actually, if you think about it.
RMS Titanic Inc. appealed to the United States court of appeals. In its decision of January 31, 2006 [14] the court recognized "explicitly the appropriateness of applying maritime salvage law to historic wrecks such as that of Titanic" and denied the application the maritime law of finds. The court also ruled that the district court lacked jurisdiction over the "1987 artifacts", and therefore vacated that part of the court's July 2, 2004 order. In other words, according to this decision, RMS Titanic Inc. has ownership title to the artifacts awarded in the French decision (valued $16.5 million earlier) and continues to be salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the District Court to determine the salvage award ($225 million requested by RMS Titanic Inc.)[15].
You are in bondage when you reject God. Jesus sets people free.
John 8:34-36
Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. [35] And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. [36] Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
I have always read that people are "hard wired" (if you will) to see patterns, and we are so good at seeing patterns (any patterns) that we see false patterns everywhere.People are hard wired for skepticism, why would he do that if he new he would be the biggest target?
