It doesn't really matter to Christianity -- so why do so many Christians insist on denying good, fundamental science? It makes us look like idiots.
Please stick to the topic, yeshuaslavejeff.Abraham, Father of Faith!
Good Example, Perfect in God's Plan, Purpose and Redemption of some men.
Excerpt from the last week somewhere online:
"Abel, Enoch, Noah, all three worshipped God. Abraham did not; he worshipped idols. Things had gone from bad to worse, until the men in Ur of the Chaldees and in all the other cities around them were idolaters. And Abraham and Nahor and their father Terah were no different: `they served other gods’ (Joshua 24. 2). By himself Abraham was not morally the equal of any of those three men who went before him, Noah, Enoch or Abel. By nature he was on the same level as Adam after his fall, or as Cain. Yet he was the startingpoint for divine recovery.
Through none of those who preceded Abraham did God set Himself to deal with the situation created by sin. Abraham was the first through whom He did this."
Who said you denied anything? I'm talking about Christians who deny common descent. I have no idea what your views on the subject are. You asked why it matters, and I told you my reason (one of my reasons) for thinking that it's of some importance.I have denied nothing scientific.
So you say...
I have no agenda other than defending the truth. Believe what you like, but don't attack well-established facts and knowledge that can contribute to the advancement of humanity.I have denied nothing scientific. Science is a good thing, even if atheists try to use it for their agenda it still is a good thing that I fully support.
Many people follow the Abrahamic religions without feeling the need to deny evolution. Try and separate the two in your mind. It can be done.I guess this just killed the God of Abraham, the only remaining God left. Congrats atheists you win. Or if that is not your point then what does this really matter.
That would be good. I'm a retired teacher, and the love of explaining things to people is still ingrained in me.So, is anyone going to say anything about ERVs? That would be, you know, on-topic for this thread.
We've been told that we cannot say that no one who follows Jesus ever believes in evolution, only that it contradicts their (Creationists) beliefs when they believe the BIBLE concerning Creation.Many people follow the Abrahamic religions without feeling the need to deny evolution.
Don't go by what people tell you. Go by the evidence. Determine the truth as honestly and as objectively as you can manage, then adjust your beliefs to it.We've been told that we cannot say that no one who follows Jesus ever believes in evolution, only that it contradicts their (Creationists) beliefs when they believe the BIBLE concerning Creation.

That's a totally false belief. Those viruses develop specific strategies for envading cells. If they had to develop a new strategy every time because they were unable to target specific cells, they would die out. I know you like to believe falsely that their envasion is random, but the fact they are indeed located in the same locale in both species shows your belief has no merit. You even admit these retrovirus are found in corresponding locals, then utter the falsehood they don't target the same locals. They target those exact locals because they have developed invasion strategies for those cells and mechanisms for defenses against the cells at those specific locals.Way to miss the essential point. ERVs are remnants of retroviral integrations into germline DNA. Retroviruses cannot target specific DNA loci, yet closely related species exhibit these remnants in exactly corresponding loci. The only explanation for this is that they integrated in ancestral organisms and have been duplicated via reproduction ever since. - Unless you have another explanation for common loci?
Why then do those who do that very thing say they see God in nature, and others don't?Don't go by what people tell you. Go by the evidence. Determine the truth as honestly and as objectively as you can manage, then adjust your beliefs to it.
What he means is, that if he voiced his true opinion about non-YEC Christians, the forum moderators would get on his case.Don't go by what people tell you. Go by the evidence. Determine the truth as honestly and as objectively as you can manage, then adjust your beliefs to it.
