One thing I don't understand about the creationist position

[OldWiseGuy]

Apparent as in embedded age?

Age as is pretty obvious.

Except that Lucifer was an angel, and Icarus was a HUMAN. Big difference.

That's why it's a metaphor.

I'm not asking for your person beliefs, I'm just asking to say if you accept what I said as true. It's a simple yes or no question.

I don't accept either premise.

That's why it's a metaphor.

Except it's not since they're two very different stories with two very different themes and settings.

Eh, fair enough.

What can I say, I see strong similarities, metaphorically.

I see strong similarities, metaphorically.

You see them, but that does not mean they are there.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

You see them, but that does not mean they are there.

It also doesn't mean that they aren't there.

No, but in this case, you are wrong and also highly off-topic, as per your usual MO.

Disagreeing with you isn't going off-topic.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

That's the way I deal with those who seek to control the conversation.

You do realize, that by any definition, that is trolling?

I edited that post already, but not because I thought it was trolling. Your unrelenting repeating the same question is trolling. You want a reaction, not an answer.

No, deliberately going off-topic is trolling. It's like the most basic definition of trolling.
Trying to ask a pertinent question to the topic of the OP, a question which you really did fail to answer twice, is not.

Not agreeing with the premise of a question isn't trolling. Actually I think your question was trolling: A question intended to illicit a reaction rather than an answer. Classic troll.

Show me where I went off topic.

'Scuse me, what was the topic again? Omphalos?

We have that discussion (I've got the scars to prove it).

About trying to understand the creationist position regarding God and why creationists feel that God can't use evolution to create the numerous varieties of life on Earth. If you click the number 1 page at the top or bottom, you'll be taken to the OP.

I think we pretty much covered that.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Yeah, not really. Still no actual explanation about why creationists feel that God can't use evolution.
You kind of get a pass since you've described yourself as a Gap person, so your statements are kind of... eh, iffy, is the word I'll use for them.

I've always been in a pretty elite group.
