I thought for a while that he meant the book about Uranus...Jet Black said:creepy. I have never heard of this book before, then in one morning I hear of it three times and everyone seems to have read it :/
I have never seen anyone on this forum mock christianity. People regularly mock "creation science", for it does not exist. Creationism is a religious position based on scientific ignorance and misrepresentation of data. It harms science and christianity, and deserves to be mocked. I would venture to guess that most on this forum, like myself, HAVE looked deeply into creationism - we have found it to be completely without validity.aeroz19 said:This is really immature.
I am a YEC, but I don't know any of the YEC scientist names out there that I keep seeing referenced (or any names of any scientists except Newton and the biggest ones). I have to, as I calculate forces and moments in my Engineering classes, and they're measured in Newtons in the metric system.But yeah, maybe I'll start looking into those names.
(That lilface isn't what it is on Yahoo; it doesn't convey the right expression. Oh well.)
I have a challenge for you all who mock Creation science and Christianity: instead of making fun of it, look into it deeper. You might find out why we're Christian. There is a lot more to it than the science.

Underdog77 said:Bellman- Creationism (YEC) is directly intertwined with Christianity! And let me try to verbalize why:
1) according to the Bible, the fall (the first sin) brought about the curse which included death
2) in order to release us of the death that came with the curse Christ had to die for our sins
3) if evolution or old earth creationism is correct, then there was death before the fall
4) if there was death before the fall, then sin is not the direct cause of death
5) if sin is not the direct cause of death then Christ's dying and raising from the grave for our sins does nothing to release us from death
All this to the conclusion that if the earth was not created in the 7 literal days that the Bible claims, from a Biblical viewpoint Christ's death and resurrection was in vain.
I should know better then to laugh at him, but when I see what other yec people do (mindlessly repeat themself, never change eventhough they are proven wrong), I can't always muster up the "strenght" or the will to carry on. I will again point out what was wrong of his post. though I will keep it shortly because it is rather late:vajradhara said:Namaste MM,
don't laugh at the kid.. he's young still....
though.. if you'd like, you can certainly point out his theology is flawed...and that would probably be a service to him.
First of all, I would like to appologize for laughing at you. that was inapropiate from my end, and out of line. I thought your intentions were not to learn here but to mindlessly try to push up your beliefs against my end. For what it's worth, sorry.underdog77 said:Bellman- Creationism (YEC) is directly intertwined with Christianity! And let me try to verbalize why:
And what about the evidence of an older earth? Or what about all the other observations that we can make? Couldn't it be just that the people who wrote the OT didn't know, or couldn't explain it in correct terms how the first people came to be?1) according to the Bible, the fall (the first sin) brought about the curse which included death
2) in order to release us of the death that came with the curse Christ had to die for our sins
3) if evolution or old earth creationism is correct, then there was death before the fall
Why does Christ has less credibility because it doesn't fall in place with your 6000 years interpertation?4) if there was death before the fall, then sin is not the direct cause of death
5) if sin is not the direct cause of death then Christ's dying and raising from the grave for our sins does nothing to release us from death
Uh. Well, at least you don't claim you have evidence for a 7-day period creation or something to that extend. If you want to believe that, then that's fine with me. Who should I be to challange that?All this to the conclusion that if the earth was not created in the 7 literal days that the Bible claims, from a Biblical viewpoint Christ's death and resurrection was in vain.
Underdog77 said:Arikay- I thouht I was going to go to sleep but what you said disturbed me, about being fruitful and multiplying. But when I read the Bible I found out that He only said that to the birds, the waterlife, and to Adam and Eve. The birds woudn't get our way necessarily. The fish and others would be in the water. Humans, well humans would places on the earth.
But one other factor needs to be presented. God knew about the fall. He knew that IF (and I fail to see anything as a nuisance) any creature could become a nuisance it wouldn't because the fall would happen before the nuisance could pop up. Everything was declared perfect and it was perfect. God had planed for the fall even during the creation account. Perfect.
2) Some see the death as both physical (which happened) and spiritual (I'm not sure if Adam will go to Heaven or Hell?). But the point is that death affected both spirit and body.
3) While our physical body cannot be saved (God said "for dust you are and to dust you will return), God had a plan to save our spirits. God Himself said our bodies are doomed but our spirits, our souls can have salvation.
4) The rest of my points from my previous post become relevant again.
