Then why don't you put your moneey where your mouth is and show us that the word used in the ancient Greek manuscripts of the biblical texts actually meant "small stick of an explosive nature."
No, Jazer disappeared when Jamin arrived. Juvenissun is though, he is a different one.

Because that's not what I said, or meant, and I don't see how anybody could honestly mistake that. Then again, you guys manage to stupify me on a regular basis; it's like you pay no attention to context, and latch on to ...
oh look, a squirrel!
Or the other way around, explain what you really meant when you made that claim.
I'm going to stop you right here. Because this might have been what you meant, it is very far from what you said. And from the responses it was immediately very clear that this was not what people thought you had said.Hey, now there's a novel idea? Actually ask what somebody meant, instead of shoving words down their throat and ideas in their head, and then blaming them for the absurd things you put there?
Are you sure that'd be ok - even on the interwebz? I dunno, I better go read through the rules -
Ah, fooey on all that, it's late. I'll risk a paraphrased summary:
medical students boycotting lectures on evolution (the thread title, lest anyone forget) went MIA
Someone ridiculed one of Jesus' over-the-top sayings, of which there are many. In this case, it was the "faith to move mountains" thing
Dynamite was proposed as being better than faith
Last year's avalanche death season came up, after which I pointed out that the power of faith to move mountains is the very origin of the English word "dynamite"
Your explanation in assigning a biblical connotation to the word dynamite is still wrong, of course. The word dynamite comes from the greek dunamite (power), not from "the power of faith to move mountains". But that was already pointed out as well.
My problem was a really bad day. I'm sorry that I took part of it out on you.What exactly is your problem? I spent plenty enough time working on that to show you how easy it is. This is a mute point anyways. Objection to Bishop Usshers work is nonsense because of the universal acceptance of his work in the Christian community. For example his work is included in the Bibles that the Gideon society gives away for free around the world. His work is accepted by Ryrie, Scofield and used in many other Bible commentarys and Bible notes. You just do not get anymore rock solid then Bishop Ussher and the contribution that his book makes.
Do you really think they believe, in the same way that a believer "believes in Him?" You are doing really well at being dishonest in your attempts to twist and distort what is said. Why?
"The priests used to say that faith can move mountains, and nobody believed them. Today the scientists say that they can level mountains, and nobody doubts them." -- Joseph Campbell
Then show me an example of a person who moved a mountain through the power of their prayer.
(seriously, how can anyone think that mountains literally move because of prayer?)

I know what reality says on the subject -- trust me; use the dynamite.
Hmm, perhaps, perhaps. Is anyone willing to do a longitudinal study of their collective posts?
Thing is, we read a lot of crazy stuff on these forums and when someone starts going on about there being dynamite in the bible it's not a massive stretch to take that claim at face value. There is a reason why Poe's law exists.

And, for the sake of turnaround...
Wait; you're an creationist, and you claim to have a handle on what evolution might or might not be?
PRICELESS
I bet you haven't even checked the definition of belief. Seriously, knowledge of the term has nothing to do with ones religious views.
Circular reasoning at its best.Knowledge can be one thing, but the truth is eternal. In order to understand the Holy Bible, one must truely believe in it.
