Completely random question. Why does this thread and others look like this when viewing them from the main section page for this area and have the N/A? I thought maybe the threads had been closed but they're still active. I'm just confuzzled....

Ahhh, but we were warned against worshiping stars and planets like Venus and Mars. Are you suggesting they are gods because some confused them to be such? To believe we may be worshiping the wrong gods implies you believe there may be gods. Or was that just a strawman like your finches?
[VERSE=Exodus 20:3,KJV]Thou shalt have no other gods before me.[/VERSE]Notice the small g?[VERSE=Jeremiah 16:20,KJV]Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?[/VERSE]OT thinkers believed there were other Gods,
Notice the small g?
It's ironic that believers in evolution can see this, but many Christians can't. I think one famous evolutionist said something along these lines didn't she, "I have found that the most effective allies for evolution are people of the faith community. One clergyman with a backward collar is worth two biologists at a school board meeting any day!"If we can't trust God's creation to tell us the truth, then why should we trust God's word

That's why I take the view that if there is a conflict between what the Bible clearly teaches and some theory in science (no matter how many in the evolution-believing scientific community support it), then I make the assumption that the conclusions drawn by the scientists must be wrong. Christians who allow their faith to be manipulated to fit in with man's falllible ideas are opening themselves up to all sorts of problems. Until someone comes up with a valid way, based on known, testable physics and chemistry that a) the universe could form all on its own from nothing and b) how life could get started all on its own from lifeless chemicals, then to me, the non-divine origin of everything will remain just a fairy story - I don't even need to consider the rest of the story.

Those other gods matched Yahwah's powers.

Ever heard of the Tower of Babel?
God could make Abram speak Swahili, if He wanted to.
Those other gods did not have the power to create as Yahwah did.
How do you know?
Haven't seen anything they've created which compares to the creation of the one true God.
First of all, you only have a book (and hardly an unbiased one, at that), that give your god the credit.
Second, even if we accept that account, all it shows is that they didn't create; the original claim was that they couldn't. Not all those with power feel compelled to use it.
I suggest you read Psalm 113.

I suggest you read post 655.
That's what post 656 is in response to.
