Taking Questions on Creationism

[pitabread]

But we all agree on one thing:

IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED ...

That's about it, though. When you start getting into the details there are huge levels of dissonance among different creationist beliefs.

It gets even worse when creationists start arguing in favor of a deceptive universe.

And if 100% consensus doesn't mean anything, then please don't throw dissensus at us like it means something.

It does mean something when creationists are trying to argue that their beliefs are absolute.

The fact creationists can't agree on even some relatively basic ideas (including how old things are supposed to be) suggests that maybe said beliefs aren't so absolute after all.

What's that to you though?

You're just a bystander listening to two (or more) people arguing over their respective beliefs.

If I argue with someone else over what martial arts is the greatest, would you believe martial arts exists?

Sidebar: David was a martial artist.

Psalm 144:1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Ah, now I understand.

Here is the Philippines account of the Flood:

Once upon a time, when the world was flat and there were no mountains, there lived two brothers, sons of Lumawig, the Great Spirit. The brothers were fond of hunting, and since no mountains had formed there was no good place to catch wild pig and deer, and the older brother said: "Let us cause water to flow over all the world and cover it, and then mountains will rise up."

Stuff like this is blasphemy, in my opinion.

So it's blasphemy for people who've never heard the stories in your scriptures or heard of your god to have their own legends and myths?

Yes.

Just like adultery is a sin, even if someone doesn't know the Ten Commandments.

And let me reiterate: God put the plan of salvation in the stars.

Yes.

No one cares about your word games AV.

Nor did he say that the atheists were the gold standard. Why argue in such a manner?

Hyperbolic 'appeal to emotion' in lieu of an argument.
