an atiest i debated for over a year repeatedly told me that creationists are not out there looking, investigating and soon. i agree with him in that sense as i am often frustrated by the books produced by them since the lack of depth and investigation is appalling.

And it's going to keep coming back to haunt you as lon as you ignore itplease you trot that verse out every time and it does not even remotely refer to evolution. talk about taking out of context and ignoring what all the other Bible passages say.
well God has already done that but TE's like to ignore Him.
if you think that Gen. 1:24 speaks of evlution then you are wrong and reading into the verse as verse 25 qualifies what took place and verse 31 is very clear creation was complete after 6 days.
You are ignoring the fact that God commanded the earth to 'bring forth', this clearly speaks of God creating through natural processes.
1.The Lord gave the word; he said, Let the earth bring forth, not as if the
earth had any such prolific virtue as to produce these animals, or as if God
resigned his creating power to it; but, Let these creatures now come into
being upon the earth, and out of it, in their respective kinds, conformable
to the ideas of them in the divine counsels concerning their creation.
2.He also did the work; he made them all after their kind, not only of
divers shapes, but of divers natures, manners, food, and fashions some
to be tame about the house, others to be wild in the fields some living
upon grass and herbs, others upon flesh some harmless, and others
ravenous some bold, and others timorous some for man's service,
and not his sustenance, as the horse others for his sustenance, and not
34his service, as the sheep others for both, as the ox and some forCreator.
neither, as the wild beasts. In all this appears the manifold wisdom of the
What we do have from Henry is a recognition that our interpretation, the earth itself could form life and that God gave these powers to it, is an obvious meaning people could draw from the text. Henry clearly does not agree, but does not back it up.Matthew Henry

when you start quoting credible sources then y0u can say something.
Come on archie, stop making excuses for not being able to put up a decent argument for you case.when you start quoting credible sources then y0u can say something.
You don't have to take my word for it, just look at my argument and show how it is wrong.as i said i do not take your word for it so you better cough up some links to back up your contention or you will be dismissed without thought.
John Wesley doesn't give any reason why he interprets it this way either. How is that supposed to support you case?john wesley backs up henry and every other creationist:
Gen 1:24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures..." God commanded the earth to produce the different species. If you don't want to believe God's word that is up to you.there is no room for a natural process and you are just reading in what you want the passage to say. you have no scriptural foundation for your position; if you did, you woul dbe quoting them in context and chapter numbers.
The Bible is credible enough for me, you seem to prefer the words of fallible men.
as i said you have no credibility with me andif you want me to address your arguments, leave the disrespect, the insults and the personal attacks out.
No in other words I allow myself to be led by the Spirit instead of fallible men.archaeologist said:in other words, you will go by your interpretation and you will interpret the bible in a manner that you want and allows you to disobey God .
More excuses.Originally Posted by archaeologist

your failure to provide any corroborration defeats your arguments before they leave the gate. when you learn how to do that, then come and talk to me.
