I assume you mean YEC. The interesting thing is that YEC make some of the best evolutionists because the theory of evolution is needed to explain how God could have repopulated the world in a short period of time.

Weird, isn't it?Wasn't he the one who feared for his life and denied Jesus 3 times? So much for willing to pay the price in holiness. Yet the bible has included the gospel according to Peter and discarded the gospel according to Mary Magdalene and Thomas and many others as well.
Not so much weird as pertaining to the times when women were no better than property and men who doubted were outcasts.
Sinners wrote the Bible, and they weren't shy to include their particular sins in their writings for all generations to see.
Unlike scientists today, who won't even admit they are sinners.
WOW -- and you're a literary professor?So much for verbal plenary inspiration,
WOW -- and you're a literary professor?
Do you know what verbal plenary inspiration is?
As far as I am aware the Bible has many references to women such as not allowing them to preach in church, or to obey their husbands or in many cases where rape is allowed etc. I will be interested to hear from you on such matters.Perhaps that's because they interpreted the Scriptures the way you do?
Actually lots of people wrote the Bible over the best part of a thousand years. No particular person wrote it. Paul wrote some of the letters in the NT. Various prophets wrote some books in the OT. The authors of other books are disputed.
No one man wrote it.
I said man as in 'mankind' , not a man.
I think the Koran falls under your implicit definition of a great work more so than does the Bible.
True. The Koran is a great work of man. The bible is the work of God.

Getting back to your assertion. Why would it make so sense for humans to have written the books of the Bible? Much of the NT is just a collection of letters, written by Paul to instruct others in his growing churches. Paul's letters are just that. They are Paul's letters. So I don't know what your point is.
The bible was written for the church, a very small group of believers. The great works, including the classic mythologies, were written for everyone, and accepted by most everyone. The bible asks the question, "Who has believed our words..."? The answer of course is, very few. Most regard the bible as nonsense. Why would a group of fairly intelligent people conspire over thousands of years to write a book of nonsense?
Huh..?
Why would Man write the Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Hindu, Islamic and various indigenous mythologies, if their particular gods didn't exist?..?
And, one of the main reasons I became an atheist, was a thorough review and investigation of the bible.
To me, the bible itself, is not a friend to folks who claim the God of the bible exists.
Thanks for confoming the accurcy of one verse in the Bible: "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually appraised(I Cor 1:14)
Happy to be of service!
In what way? It promises a way to heaven and how to get there. What more do you want to show not only friendship but love?
The church? Uh...yes. our government? Uh...yes.
Common moral rules. What does keeping the Sabbath have to do with morality?
Would that be the same morality demonstrated by a god who punishes all generations for the sin of one man? Despite the fact that he specifically and specially created an Adam who would fall.
We creationists believe in miraculous events such as the virgin birth, water becoming wine, the resurrection, etc.Creationism forces itself onto the physical world with such arrogance that no matter what evidence is brought forth ( in accordance to the rules governing science) it just shrugs it off
We creationists believe in miraculous events such as the virgin birth, water becoming wine, the resurrection, etc.
The problem is that the physical evidence (the physical facts) surrounding the miraculous events are not always consistent with the events themselves, so if we simply rely on the physical facts alone we will often come to the wrong conclusion as to what actually happened.
Case in point, Daniel's three friends surviving the fire was a miraculous event, but the physical facts surrounding that event suggest they were never in a fire:
"The fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them." - (Dan 3:27).
If we focus on these physical facts alone (like scientists do) we are more likely to conclude that the men were never in a fire even though they were, so the physical facts in this case would be best ignored in order to arrive at the truth.
Yet, you don't see creation as a miraculous event. Water becoming wine does not invalidate physics. Jesus walking on water does not invalidate gravity. A virgin birth and resurrection do not invalidate biology. But somehow, Genesis 1 invalidates evolution. So much for consistency.
Not many creationists would deny that natural selection creates variety in a creatures and that species can change to suit their environment. That wolves can become poodles or that crows and pelicans come from the same original bird kind.
Genesis does confirm evolution.
Just not the miraculous, unconfirmed Darwinian Evolution you have faith in.
The supernatural force that creates and builds complex features such as motors, blood clotting, wings, navigation abilities, gears, etc. in nature. From simple to complex. The reverse of what we actually observe in nature.
The reverse of what we actually observe in nature.
I do.Yet, you don't see creation as a miraculous event.
Comparing evolution theory to physics, gravity and biology is a really bad comparison. Surely you can do better!Water becoming wine does not invalidate physics. Jesus walking on water does not invalidate gravity. A virgin birth and resurrection do not invalidate biology. But somehow, Genesis 1 invalidates evolution. So much for consistency.
You have to believe miracles didnt happen in order to make sense of your science. I dont have that problem.Or didn't happen.
If only I could read your mind, it would really help me to understand what you are trying to say here.So, fire does not burn people, therefore combustion is false!
