Are killing and bloodshed the only things you know? No wonder you guys liked The Passion of Christ.Well when the Duck Hunter shows up, it's going to be open season on Egypt's* academics.
* Egypt, known in the Bible as "the Land of Ham and "The Iron Furnace," is a type of the world.
Ecclesiastes 3:3a A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;Is killing and bloodshed the only things you know?
No wonder you guys liked The Passion of Christ.
Is YEC a scientific theory?
I say no.
(from wikipedia) In various sciences, a theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a certain natural or social phenomenon, thus either originating from observable facts or supported by them (see scientific method). In this sense, a theory is a systematic and formalized expression of all previous observations made that is predictive, testable, and has never been falsified.YEC does not correspond to that definition. It does seem to fit the definition of dogma:
(wiki again) Dogma is belief held by a religion to be authoritativeAlso, YEC fails to satisfy the 6 conditions:
(from wikipedia) A scientific theory...In conclusion, YEC has as much to do with science than science has to do with Gilgamesh (i.e. nothin).
- is consistent with pre-existing theory to the extent that the pre-existing theory was experimentally verified, though it will often show pre-existing theory to be wrong in an exact sense,
- is supported by many strands of evidence rather than a single foundation, ensuring that it probably is a good approximation if not totally correct,
- has survived many critical real world tests that could have proven it false,
- makes predictions that might someday be used to disprove the theory,
- is tentative, correctable and dynamic, in allowing for changes to be made as new data is discovered, rather than asserting certainty, and
- is the most parsimonious explanation, sparing in proposed entities or explanations, commonly referred to as passing Occam's Razor.
Israel could be renamed the land of unending wars from biblical to modern times.Ask your buddy who wrote this if Israel is the Promised Land.
As long as they just read It ... right?
Expecting the Bible to be a science book is like expecting Bill Gate's diary to be a computer manual.
Looks like your buddy didn't give you enough information in his anti-literal spiel to answer that simple question, did he?Israel could be renamed the land of unending wars from biblical to modern times.
Who knows? It is in the realm of extremelyLet us patiently wait.
What is the gap understandingThe Bible is not supposed to always confirm science. Its the other way around.
At times the Bible is to confound science. Confound it when science finally discovers that when the Bible is properly understood? That the Bible will confound science to see that the Bible was way ahead of science.
The GAP understanding makes science look like a Johnny come lately.
In much sadness I must confess, the YEC theory makes science look like its YEC's master whom is being denied.
Our biggest enemy to freedom and knowledge is when religious ignorance and dogmatism combine for its defense..
What is the gap understanding
The Bible is not supposed to always confirm science. Its the other way around.
I too did not care about the Bible.... Until I entered into the shock of discovering something much deeper than mere 'data.'Science doesn't care about the bible either way.
Science didn't exist when the bible was created, so there is no reason to think it was addressing the claims of science.
You can deny the wars of the promised land but history does not agree with you.Looks like your buddy didn't give you enough information in his anti-literal spiel to answer that simple question, did he?
His book can take a hike.
A long one on a short pier.
Scientists agree that evolution is not proven and will not likely ever be proven. In order to replace the ToE with creationism all creationists need do is to provide superior evidence for creationism and a consilience from multiple unrelated scientific fields.Here's the bottom line. Science can only prove similarities. They cannot prove evolution from a common ancestor. There is no way to test or reproduce it. They haven't even been able to test or reproduce evolutionary processes they say happened.
Many believe that collapse is likely assured to happen, with the crash of civilization between 2030 and 2050 due to limits of a finite world plus climate change.The Bible also teaches that our present creation will also be replaced once more.

According to your book, why were they in there warring in the first place?You can deny the wars of the promised land but history does not agree with you.

Last universal common ancestor
...there is no specific fossil evidence of the LUCA, the detailed biochemical similarity of all current life confirms its existence. Its characteristics can be inferred from shared features of modern genomes. These genes describe a complex life form with many co-adapted features, including transcription and translation mechanisms to convert information from DNA to RNA to proteins. The LUCA probably lived in the high-temperature water of deep sea vents near ocean-floor magma flows around 4 billion years ago. If and when creationist produce scientific evidence for a biblical creation scenario it will be able to be taught in public school science classes.
Ah, I thought there was something toIn a nut shell. The creation we now see and observe on earth has not been the first created world to grace its surface.
What we find buried underneath was a previous creation. One that was not created for man as we now know man to be.
And, to add to that? The Bible also teaches that our present creation will also be replaced once more.

That may well be your bottom line,Here's the bottom line. Science can only prove similarities. They cannot prove evolution from a common ancestor. There is no way to test or reproduce it. They haven't even been able to test or reproduce evolutionary processes they say happened.
Uh no. No theory is ever proven.Scientists agree that evolution is not proven and will not likely ever be proven. In order to replace the ToE with creationism all creationists need do is to provide superior evidence for creationism and a consilience from multiple unrelated scientific fields.
