That was pretty much just word salad that could be reinterpreted countless different ways. Can you be more specific? Use your own words.

That was pretty much just word salad that could be reinterpreted countless different ways. Can you be more specific? Use your own words.In Western Christian theology, grace is "the love and mercy given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not necessarily because of anything we have done to earn it". It is not a created substance of any kind. ... It is an attribute of God that is most manifest in the salvation of sinners.

The telomeres of chromosomes shorten as we age. They are essentially a buffer at the start and end of a chromosome. Repeated zones that do not code. The shortening of telomeres is associated with the eventual death of cells, and increased chances of cancer:I am unaware that this is part of the death process for individuals (something about telomeres). From the context, it seemed like a reference to something happening to whole species post 4005 BC. I've never heard of it, but my knowledge of biology is not perfect.

Telomeres, lifestyle, cancer, and aging.
AV used something from modern science without an explanation of how God prevented shortening of telomeres or what he changed that caused them to shorten. It is a fancy way of saying "God did it". It is an ad hoc explanation with not predictive powers.
Sorry, that's what it sounded like.Nope, by the way you are being rude. Making false assumptions about others leads to breaking the Ninth Commandment.
Well, that's the way it sounded too.I never said or even implied that.
It wouldn't be by arguing with you about it.It is not possible to have a "relationship" with that which does not exist. But from my perspective we are the same. In my eyes you do not have a "relationship with God" either. In fact when you claim that you do you put a burden of proof upon yourself. How would you demonstrate this?
I'd rather stand on the side of truth as I understand it, as stand with the clever as they understand it.And are you still afraid to learn what is and what is not evidence? The only thing that you gain by avoiding learning is that you can become a master of the Ostrich Defense. Burying your head in the sand only convinces the person hiding. It does not do any good.
You're given something you don't deserve and didn't earn.That was pretty much just word salad that could be reinterpreted countless different ways. Can you be more specific? Use your own words.
Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.AV used something from modern science without an explanation of how God prevented shortening of telomeres ...
Actually it doesn't.
The created generation had no scars and was created not to die.
It's telomeres were not moving toward separation; not like they are today.
Again, you can't compare today with what existed back in 4004 BC.

Nope, no help for you there.Deuteronomy 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
It was a reference to Moses who for some odd reason took 40 years to make the relatively short trip from Egypt to Canaan. In fact if the trip was so short that if single file and the Hebrews were following one another at a reasonable distance the head of the line would be entering Canaan before the last man even left. There are quite a few very good reasons that archaeologists say that the Exodus never happened.The nature of this reference is not clear.
Either you need to include more context so we can figure out what wax has to do with SZ comment, or you need to use a translation that doesn't use archaic forms of words like "waxen".
That is a little bit better.You're given something you don't deserve and didn't earn.
Like I said, I am as I understand things.But you don't stand on the "side of truth".
True.If a person with an inquiring mind could be wrong he would want to learn how and why he was wrong.
Scientists can't even agree on the number of steps in the scientific method.The concepts of scientific evidence and the scientific method do not only apply to evolution. It applies to all of the sciences. You will be in a better position to form any scientific argument and understand whether something is science or pseudoscience.
Embarrassing I guess???In discussing the concept of scientific evidence we do not even need to bring up the concept of evolution.

Oh, and I almost forgot, somehow their clothes did not wear out during that 40 year journey.
No, not at all. Mark 1:15 makes it clear that we must repent and 'believe' the gospel. When we trust that Jesus paid for our sins and accept Him into our hearts, we are saved by God's grace (not because we deserve it). Romans 10:13 further tells us that whosever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved and have everlasting life. You have to repent, believe and then ask for forgiveness.That is a little bit better.
So are you now saying that if someone does not believe in God it is God's fault?
On the contrary, most people have no problem at all discussing the topics. It is creationists that are scared to death to even discuss evidence. I think most know that they are wrong. Deep down inside they know that what they are saying is false. If they understood the concept of evidence they would have no excuse.
They probably don't want the argument.There is no "the scientific method". However many steps there are in the middle school textbooks, it doesn't matter. No one working in science talks about the number of steps.
They probably don't want the argument.
I thought science was supposed to follow strict guidelines gathering evidence. That's all Subduction Zone has talked about.I assume that the "they" in your statement are the scientists who don't do science the way you learned it in 8th grade.
