Accepting ex nihilo creationism isn't rejecting science?

Is there anything in the Bible I can believe without rejecting science?


Pretty much all of it as evidenced by all the brilliant Christians who also happen to be scientists.

lol, I know you don't have a definition, because your idea of "embedded age" is unsupportable. And you know that as soon as you define it, it will be ripped to shreds. The only way you can avoid it is to keep the definition of it vague and nebulous so you can move the goalposts, and then claim that they were always there.

Well credit were credit is due, He did attempt to define it at one point. Unfortunately it was more along the lines of "Whatever causes something to be old" so it was not useful in any way.

Still waiting, AV.

Define AGE in the context of "embedded age".
Able to perform the duties of an equal -- an equal that achieved the same age by natural means.

That's a pretty useless definition. You are saying that a rock with embedded age has to be able to sit there in the same way as a rock without it?

And let's say there is a computer programmer who is 40 years old, and has reached a certain skill level. Now, if there is a twenty year old who has also reached that skill level, has the younger programmer got two decades of embedded skill in him?

And if I take a brand new solid wood table, and whack it with something so it has dents in it (so it looks like it has seen years of use) and if I sand back the paint (so it looks like the paint has worn off in places after years of use), does that mean that I have embedded age into the brand new table?

It's also circular. Able to do what something that achieved the same age naturally can do? Um, what is "same age"?

That's right.

There's not much to say.

God did it -- that settles it.

Case closed.

"science can take a hike"?
"god did it, that settles it'?

This guy is like a parody of himself!

Poll:
1. AV1611VET: World's most successful troll.
2. AV1611VET: Actually believes what he says.

Nah, AV says God didn't try to fool us. Coz he gave us the Bible that tells the truth.

Why he created the world so that it looks like it's so old I have no idea. AV's never told us what is gained by having the world look billions of years old. perhaps I need to make a challenge for it...
