Sure.
Yet I have difficulty in seeing a need for degrees of honesty.
Isn't this the same as saying its ok to conceal (ie: not distinguish) one's own beliefs .. even from oneself?

Sure.I said more honest, as in, at least they're admitting that the available physical evidence doesn't support their positions.
Who says the animals were created ex nihilo?Good news - as a Christian, you do not need to read the Genesis scientifically and believe in a young earth where animals were created from nothing by popping up like popcorn.
Then what animals were you referring to, when you said "animals were created from nothing"?Popcorn is "ex materia" too.
Did you ignore or not understand my point about the heat problem?
Being an atheist, you don't really have the ability to believe.You say that I do not want to look for the truth, yet you make grand claims and then refuse to back them up when asked to do so, saying some vague stuff about how the forums aren't adequate to explain it (despite the fact that you can post links to anything you want and you can have a thread with thousands of posts). All you can do is ask me to just believe you because of... reasons.
You'll have to do better than that.
Yeah, the article written by a creationist, who has zero scientific articles about geology that I could find.
I did find some articles written by Wesley R Barnhart on Google Scholar - but they're in the field of clinical psychology and eating disorders, NOT geology. So even if that is the same guy, he certainly isn't qualified to talk about geology.
I'd like to know how your god can just will a universe into being. What is the mechanism by which matter/energy can be created out of who knows what? Was there nothing? Was there an earlier universe? By what specific process does light, and the Earth, and the sun and moon, and stars; and plants, animals, and the first human beings just suddenly appear?
Can you answer that?
There are no animals that "defy" evolution. Evolution is not a scary idea that some make it out to be. Evolution is simply the change in allele frequency over time.
Attempt 189: There is no right way. There is no predetermined outcome. Some changes are beneficial and tend to spread through a population. Some changes are disadvantageous and tend to be eliminated in a population. Some changes are neutral and may spread, or be eliminated purely by chance. (Mutations are not intrinsically beneficial, disadvantageous, or neutral. That is a reflection of their response to their environment.)How does the right allele change in just the right way via a random process?
Oh my, they present this spectacular chain of events and by their own admission say "could have given rise to assorted clotting". Yup, could've. We also know the evos call for random mutations.Yes. Here's an article on that exact topic. Somewhat technical, but you might learn something.

Only when we have arrived somewhere can we call it a destination and reflect on the route by which we got there.
I'd like to know how your god can create the stuff of the Big Bang out of nothing. Care to explain? Seriously, care to explain?
I think you may be confused about this. Something from nothing due to God is the Christian view, not the science view. You may wish to review both Genesis and Big Bang theory on that.
No, it's the science view. Where did the stuff in the BB come from? How did it create itself from nothing?
I've been in the education field for decades. I pitch my level to suit my target audience.
We don't know where the stuff came from. There are various conjectures, but the scientific conjectures don't propose something from nothing.
Interesting, you mock my belief that God created it....and post no answer to how something like 1X 10 to the 24th stars... material... was squashes into a singularity before it went BANG...got there?
Great reply. You nailed it.Attempt 189: There is no right way. There is no predetermined outcome. Some changes are beneficial and tend to spread through a population. Some changes are disadvantageous and tend to be eliminated in a population. Some changes are neutral and may spread, or be eliminated purely by chance.
