Madagascar and Australia, a question for creationists.

[miamited]

Don't all the other religions use the same faith you do and don't they all get it wrong? it sounds to me that faith is not all it's cracked up to be if it leads most people to the wrong religions.

Hi stamp,

True enough. All religions depend on one having some measure of faith. However, the faith carried forth through Judaism culminates in Jesus. No other faith has Jesus or anyone like him. Even pure Judaism, sadly, doesn't get to Jesus, although it should.

God bless you,
In Christ, ted

Hi TM,

You responded:

Faith is not a pathway to truth.

You and I will have to agree to disagree on that point. Faith, as I understand it, is the only way to the truth of those things that are discerned by the spirit.

God bless you,
In Christ, ted

 

[The Stamp]

Faith, as I understand it, is the only way to the truth of those things that are discerned by the spirit.

How can it be when it leads most people to the wrong religions? or are there different kinds of faith? if there are how are people supposed to know they are having the 'right' faith? also what is a 'spirit'? it all sounds so made up to me.

if wings evolved twice its not a convnergent evolution?

and how you will rule out a hox or an unknown geological process if its unknown?

The issue with falsification is that the hypothesis must have a valid way of being shown wrong for it to be useful.

I gave you two examples. If those examples were to happen we could very well see ToE thrown out as those observations (once established to be correct) are not what ToE predicts.

If the predictions of ToE are wrong ToE cannot logically be correct.

There is no observation that would mean creation by fiat of God is logically ruled out.

Look, this is simple undergrad philosophy of science:I don't understand your problem with this.

3) its a hox

Ha! Given the evolutionary context of the thread, that's a hilarious typo. Sad that so many folks posting here won't understand why.

 

[USincognito]

its funny because even eyes among mammals are also different. but you still believe they evolved from a commondescent. even more: lets say that they was identical. the same can be said here: its an identical convergent evolution.

Really? Eyes among mammals are functionally and qualitatively different? Or are they merely quantitatively different?

 

[Grandpa2390]

Ask your pastors this question, Why do animals and plants living on these island not exist anywhere else on earth?
Could it be because they were isolated from the rest of the world and evolved?

yes. that is what Creation teaches.

 

[USincognito]

yes. that is what Creation teaches.

Creation teaches that isolated populations unique on earth evolved in their location? I can agree with that.

If kangaroos were directly created by God, why did he choose to populate Australia alone with them?

Why do you think kangaroos were directly created by God?

6,000 years wouldn't quite be long enough for a super continent to break up, and its constituent parts to find themselves in their current positions. Britain is currently moving away from America at the rate of 2cm a year. So that's 0.00012km meters in 6,000 years.

6,000 years is more than enough time. You are forgetting about the great flood.

What great flood? are you talking about the flood for which there is no evidence?

 

[Gospel_van]

What great flood? are you talking about the flood for which there is no evidence?

I'm referring to Noah's flood. A worldwide flood that has over 250 Stories about it by nearly every ancient culture. The evidence is everywhere. Put 10 types of sand in a bottle and shake it up to mix them around. Then add water and shake them up—the water will sort the sand by density (hydraulic sorting). The stratigraphic columns are all fluvial and contain massive fossil graveyards of dead animals that all died rapidly and together. There are whale skeletons in dry deserts.
I must ask you, have you ever studied flood geology? Why do you say there is no evidence? That is utterly ridiculous...

 

[AV1611VET]

Why do you say there is no evidence?

They're taught to say that.

 

[Gospel_van]

They're taught to say that.

I can attest to that as I was an atheist most my life and completely ignorant to any idea that mainstream science didn't support...

Welcome to the family of God, my brother!

Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

What convinced you that a god exists?

 

[lesliedellow]

Why do you think kangaroos were directly created by God?

I don't, but YECs do.

According to a calculation done by a creationist, the weight of the water in the flood would have been 4,525,000 tons.

However, the mass of the Earth is 5,970,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons.

So how would so relatively little water manage to rearrange something weighing about 1,000,000,000,000,000 times as much?

Who told you there was evidence everywhere and how come geologists don't know about that evidence? not even Christian geologists have seen any of this 'evidence', none of them have found any evidence that would support the idea that there was a world wide flood.

That's a cause scientiss is smot.

They say all the land on earth was unna wotta, but at differnt times.

So if they fine a swordfish in Nebraska, they say, "No big deal. Nebraska was unna wotta at one time."

Then, if they fine a wale in Nevada, they say, "No big deal. Nevada was unna wotta at another time."
