Quite the opposite; I've pointed out a redundancy in his argument. I'd say that's quite a valid point.The Thread title and the description in the first post clearly sets the scene here that this thread is for the purpose that AV is going to address any questions based on his position on Genesis 1 or otherwise called the Creation week.
Therefore, your argument is pointless.
Well apparently-So, in your mind, there's no difference between ex-nihilo creation and determining authorship of a particular work? "Evidence is impossible, so whatever I can concoct must be right"?
Seems to me your list is incomplete and lacking any factual basis. It's a plausible theory, sure. But me saying that Pope Clement I wrote Genesis is just as plausible, given the lack of credible evidence.

What evidence would you use to convince your friend I did this?

Huh...what?? Who told you that? I've never heard any discussion whatsoever of Adam being the author of anything. Your basis for this statement?
I'll let Matthew Henry answer this one:What does it mean that man is in God's image?
Matthew Henry's Commentary said:That man was made in God's image and after his likeness, two words to express the same thing and making each other the more expressive; image and likeness denote the likest image, the nearest resemblance of any of the visible creatures. Man was not made in the likeness of any creature that went before him, but in the likeness of his Creator; yet still between God and man there is an infinite distance. Christ only is the express image of God's person, as the Son of his Father, having the same nature. It is only some of God's honour that is put upon man, who is God's image only as the shadow in the glass, or the king's impress upon the coin.
I'll let Matthew Henry answer this one:
So, were the great apes created in His image as well? They look an awful lot like us.Matthew Henry said:image and likeness denote the likest image, the nearest resemblance of any of the visible creatures. Man was not made in the likeness of any creature that went before him, but in the likeness of his Creator
No --- we are humankind --- a one-of-a-kind incipient.So, were the great apes created in His image as well?
As we say here: "Close, but no cigar."They look an awful lot like us.
Nobody in their right mind would even suggest that!Adam's DNA did not come from an animal.
I thought it was 98?Nobody in their right mind would even suggest that!
Mostly because nobody in their right mind actually thinks that we came from apes. We happen to share a common ancestor...and 96% of the same DNA.
I thought it was 98?
In any event --- that 2 or 4% represents a barrier that was never crossed.
Right here is where I think you're going wrong.
How does a supernova --- that just appeared in the sky no less --- look like it exploded hundreds of thousands of years ago?
It's because you guys are trained to believe that a big universe equals an old universe.
I do not dispute the fact that this SN thing out there is 168,000 light years out.This is why, if you want to have your young universe, the price you must pay is to acknowledge that a 6,000 year time frame requires these supernova measurements to be, basically, illusions.
Exodus 2:23 said:And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
AWESOME!!!! I have got to try that.
You guys go ahead and have your fun.Tried it this morning (chocolate chip variation of the measurement). I got c=3.04X10[sup]8[/sup]m/s
Accepted speed of light: c= 2.998x10[sup]8[/sup] m/s (SOURCE)
Now I just have to figure out what to do with a plate of hot semi-melted chocolate chips and not burn my mouth very badly.
Maybe if the calculation took longer they would have cooled, but noooooo.
If you can't get this down, Sophophile --- believe me --- I can make it much harder.
Forget light --- that's kids stuff
--- let's look at sound.
Explain how sound can travel instantaneously from the surface of the earth, through outer space to a point at least 20 billion light years out, and be heard by an Entity --- in real time.
That distance is included in my 95% of stuff I agree with science on.So the distance from earth to heaven is at least 20 billion light years. That sounds physical in nature. How did you arrive at that figure?
That distance is included in my 95% of stuff I agree with science on.
See --- you guys think I don't agree with science at all --- and this is where you're sadly mistaken.
And when you guys make those mistakes (as you will), I'll be more than happy to correct you --- over and over.
What?WHERE does science say heaven is 20 billion light years away?
Again?Then refute you constant claims that "science can take a hike".
Explain how sound can travel instantaneously from the surface of the earth, through outer space to a point at least 20 billion light years out, and be heard by an Entity --- in real time.
