• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Note how yet another thread has become about him and his ego instead of the actual topic.

Shocking. Shocking...
And I thank you for your contribution.

Every little bit helps -- no matter how small.

And why should anyone care a lick what Mr. Dawkins agrees with?
Because he is the pope of atheism, and every True Atheist has to agfree with him 100%. If you don't agree with the Pope Of Atheism you are no True Atheist.

Don't forget the Atheist Muslims and their motto: "There is no God and Dawkins is His Prophet". :p

Just wondering if anyone has read this book?

Is it any good? What weaknesses do you think were contained in there?

It seems, he's a YEC who thinks a literal approach to Genesis should be employed.

If you want to read it yourself for free, it's online at Answers in Genesis.

www(dot)answersingenesis(dot)org/articles/nab

There's a reasonable stack of their other books that you can read online as well. They're of similar caliber.

www(dot)answersingenesis(dot)org/cec/books

The "weaknesses" are presuppositionalist apologetics and strawman representations of scientific thought. I put "weaknesses" in scare quotes because that seems to be the modus operandi for creationist apologists, so if you read one book and it sounds reasonable, you'll probably like the rest.

BTW, I tried to put real links, but I apparently need to become much more verbose before I'm allowed to.

The reason I ask is I've noticed my brother reading it, and wondered if it was any good/credible.

I've never been convinced a literal 6 day creationist approach to the Bible needs to be the correct one.

His background isn't in science however.

The book is neither good nor credible. If you want to believe in a 6-day creation you do it because of your faith and the Bible, not because of science. Anybody that tries to shoehorn scientific hypotheses into a 6-day creation 6,000 years ago is spreading falsehoods.
