Let's Discuss Creationism

[AV1611VET]

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And just six days later:

Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

that's all there is to it. as it is written. that's good enough for me.

Yes, indeed!

God said it, that settles it.

I was gonna finish my post with "Nuff said, eh?", but I figured I would leave it open for discussion.

...and then there was that whole "The Fall" business; is that relevant to a discussion on Creationism?

THE BIBLE SAYS IT, THAT SETTLES IT

The problem with this stance is there is a very wide range of opinion on what the Bible actually says.

Stone your disobedient children.

Of course not.

Wrong classroom.

 

[Mainframes]

Why is the bible necessarily correct?

 

[AV1611VET]

Why is the bible necessarily correct?

Sorry, Mainframes, wrong classroom.

But for the record, the answer is in your question.

 

[Nithavela]

Wrong classroom.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was Blind Dogma 101.

 

[Davian]

Why is the bible necessarily correct?

It is my understanding, that if the bible is not correct (as AV sees it), then the promises it makes (as AV sees them) are simply make-beleive. You start with the premise that you are infallible, and develop your rationale for your belief backwards from there.

What could go wrong with that?

Thus your contribution -- now I understand why you said that.

No, this is Creationism 101.

 

[AV1611VET]

What could go wrong with that?

Being in the wrong classroom, for one.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Of course not.

So the fall has no relevance in a discussion of Creationism?

 

[Davian]

Being in the wrong classroom, for one.

Don't mind me. When does the movie start?

 

[DogmaHunter]

No, this Creationism 101.

Right. One already needs a certificate of Blind Dogma 101 before one can attend this class.


Let's discuss creationism then shall we. I see you went for the genesis myth here.

None ... zero ... zip ... nada.

Hamartology and creationism are two separate doctrines.

Allow me to post a few alternatives

Which one(s) do you disagree with?
