What else could it be but the Christian religion?
Suzuki's too -- he was a famous author and Zen Buddhist priest.

That's a neat quote. I assume it is referring to the Christian religion?
In my Religion, we view all as being entwined with eachother.

I didn't even know that quote existed, but it basically says what I've been saying all along --- God and nature are hostile to one another.
(Even Lucaspa agreed with me on that.)

Yeah i was wondering why you weren't discussing embedded age theory like you usually do.
How come you started this Thread then if you're not YEC?
I am sorry for not understanding, but it is far beyond my own comprehension how Divinity and Nature can even be seperate, let alone hostile.
I don't understand.. How does that view work?

Just to see if I could defend that position --- and I'm doing it with my Embedded Age rhetoric --- and to be honest, I don't feel qualified.
My pastor, who has two doctorates, is YEC, but I'm not; and like I've said before, I'm glad no YEC has ever challenged my Embedded Age paradigm, or I'd have my work cut out for me.
Atheists and scientists are very easy to debate against --- but YEC's are, in my opinion, even a cut above me [us]; and I have a lot of respect for them.
The best example I can think of is death --- which God says is His enemy.
[bible]1 Corinthians 15:26[/bible]

Welcome to Fundamentalism 101
Not particularly well -- which is why it's important to be indoctrinated at a young age.
Consider that a God who is allegedly the source of perfect justice (Take off every Zig!) has perpetrated the greatest mockery of justice imaginable by holding all of creation responsible for the act of two of His own children who had no way of knowing that what they were doing was wrong in the first place.

I'm going to close the curtain of charity here and not ask what those two alleged doctorates are in.
Although, AV, I would think that if you're so sure about your embedded-age theory, you'd be willing to put it to the test. If the YECs can punch holes in it, perhaps it's not as brilliant as you'd like to think --
[bible]1 Peter 1:6-7[/bible]
-- or are you afriad to put your idea to the test?
So in Fundamentalism, the worldview is that everything is seperate, divided, and against each other?
I feel as though i have stepped into an utterly alien world...

There's one aspect of it that I suppose you could call a weakness that YECs could exploit. The fact that I have to take science's word for the date of the earth or universe.
Once they challenge me on the validity of radiometric dating - I'm DOA.
Actually, AV, PAUL, not God, said that. God doesn't need to write epistles, does He?
I've never seen you defend ANY position with logic or viable, available data.Just to see if I could defend that position
You're not. You're just spouting a theory that is unbacked by either theology or science. Seeing as those are your two options, you fail.and I'm doing it with my Embedded Age rhetoric --- and to be honest, I don't feel qualified.
Always stated, never elaborated.My pastor, who has two doctorates,
Yes, defending unevidenced claims against unevidenced claims is quite difficult from what I hear. I wouldn't know; I generally try to stick to the real and rational.is YEC, but I'm not; and like I've said before, I'm glad no YEC has ever challenged my Embedded Age paradigm, or I'd have my work cut out for me.
Translation: Atheists and scientists are very easy to dismiss because their theories go right over my head, and their written evidence always evokes a TL;DR reaction in my brain, sending me into fits of random scripture quoting.Atheists and scientists are very easy to debate against
I'm glad there's one thing we can agree on: Respect for those who can bury their heads, nay, their entire bodies up the the ankles in the sand in such an efficient manner. It's mind boggling.but YEC's are, in my opinion, even a cut above me [us]; and I have a lot of respect for them.
