  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You mean the belief that God created the universe in such a way that it appears much older than it actually is?
Yes.

Tell me again about your embedded age idea?
Embedded Age = maturity without history.

So you DON'T subscribe to a theory that God created the universe in such a way that it appears much older than it actually is, and instead you subscribe to a theory that God created the universe in such a way that it appears much older than it actually is.

I would tentatively describe Adam's condition as a miracle, and resolve to take the Torah more seriously. However, I note that Judaism does not expect gentiles to follow it devoutly, so I would feel no need to convert to the religion any time soon.

Not so amazing when you consider that the people who fulfilled the prophecy knew about the prophecy. Still, it's impressive that they were able to pull it off with the proper timing.

I love this comment by Adam Clarke:

1 Kings 13:1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.


Adam Clarke's Commentary: This is one of the most remarkable and most singular prophecies in the Old Testament. It here most circumstantially foretells a fact which took place three hundred and forty years after the prediction; a fact which was attested by the two nations. The Jews, in whose behalf this prophecy was delivered, would guard it most sacredly; and it was the interest of the Israelites, against whom it was levelled, to impugn its authenticity and expose its falsehood, had this been possible. This prediction not only showed the knowledge of God, but his power. He gave, as it were, this warning to idolatry, that it might be on its guard, and defend itself against this Josiah whenever a person of that name should be found sitting on the throne of David; and no doubt it was on the alert, and took all prudent measures for its own defence; but all in vain, for Josiah, in the eighteenth year of his reign, literally accomplished this prophecy, as we may read, 2Ki 23:15-20.

“And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.“

What shape are your teeth going to be in by the time you are even half of 930?
In my case, probably dust.

But this challenge is Adam coming into your office the day he was created.

He hasn't ever eaten yet, never slept, hasn't even had a glass of water.

Tell us about the microbiome in Adam's mouth. I'm guessing, like all your other challenges, you'll claim he has indicators of history without actually having the history. If Adam has an adult mouth, he has scarring and a microbiome developed over the course of many years. Call it omphalos, deception, deceit or any other similar word you like.

Nope -- none of that.

When you grade tests, do you add to a person's answer, then claim his answer is wrong?

Adding "scarring and a microbiome developed over the course of many years" to an adult man who didn't exist an hour ago, then calling it "omphalos, deception, deceit or any other similar word you like" is disrespecting the OP.

How do you know that he was created looking like a twenty year old? What’s wrong with forty year old?
