Can we chip in and hire a good creationist?But look at all of the potentialities for a whole new physics. I'm sure Hans is interested.
And then, we just lost two posters who were sure they could school us and this is what is next in line?
I didn't mention deities either. If you wanted to imply many your could have done so with the word mutations.I did not mention God in the post either. Do you also mistakenly think that means I dismissed Him?
You can deny it.Frank, the listener (you) infers; the speaker (me) implies. You could ask me, "Is that what you implied?" But you cannot tell me so.
Doesn't appear to be a problem for anyone else either.No problems on my end. ???
OKWell, that argument pretty much puts a wrap on it.
Your misunderstanding of mutations.Sure. But first, explain how the argument from ignorance applies to my post.
Ask John Mackay | Creation Questions & AnswersCan we chip in and hire a good creationist?
Acts 2:17Dreams are not very reliable.
Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
Yes.So these are the last days?
Someone needs a course in Dispensation Theology, doesn't she?Estrid said:It's been the last days for 2000 years now.
Two comments on one item.
Snakes are not "suffering" leg loss.
They are immensely successful.
And, boas and pythons both have pelvic elements
and the femur, which your good creo doesn't mention.
There's much worse elsewhere.
Only the grossly uneducated would fall for
such a shabby fraud.
In general, if ones faith needs lies, misrepresentation,
etc to prop it up its not much of a faith.
In the event, by "good creationist" I meant one
who at least has some grasp of basic science
and doesn't just regurgitate the usual cut n
paste garbage that we see over and over.
It would be nice to have a real discussion.
Two things, there is no reason to think that these are the "last days". Second, it does not even imply that the dreams would be reliable.Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
So she would know that someone is really really wrong? There does not seem to be much of a point to that.Yes.Someone needs a course in Dispensation Theology, doesn't she?
Why?Two things, there is no reason to think that these are the "last days".
Sons & daughters prophesying - TV weather presenters?Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
Dispensations.Clearly, these are the last days - but of what?
Yes. There are rather good understandings of what makes us, us, and what makes chimpanzees, chimpanzees and where the differences lie between them.
Because descent has been demonstrated, design is just an unjustified assertion.
Actually it is not a premise but a conclusion. Evolution only says that organisms will change over time and different variations can survive depending on circumstances. The collection of evidence over time has indicated that all extant life forms have a common ancestor, but it would not be at all out of line if there were more than one starting point. The theory would not care, it is only the evidence that argues otherwise.The theory of common descent states that all living organisms are descendants of a single ancestor.
It's a theory.
Common descent is a concept in evolutionary biology
concept
an abstract idea; a general notion
And people have been claiming that for almost 2,000 years. I guess some of the disciples must still be alive.Why?
There are seven dispensations.
We are in the last one before Jesus returns to set up His kingdom (the seventh one).
Here ... I'll Arab-phone it, so I can hopefully see a light bulb come on.
Think of "last days" as "last leg".
Um ... they'll claim it for at least another seven years too, as it ends with Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation Period.And people have been claiming that for almost 2,000 years.
Cute.Subduction Zone said:I guess some of the disciples must still be alive.
You have not read your Bible again.Um ... they'll claim it for at least another seven years too, as it ends with Armageddon at the end of the Tribulation Period.
Each dispensation ends with its own judgment:
Cute.
- Innocence = expulsion from garden of Eden
- Conscious = the Flood
- Human Government = tower of Babel
- Promise = Egyptian captivity
- Law = Cross
- Grace (or Church Age) = Tribulation period
- Kingdom = Great White Throne Judgment
Even Paul knew he was going to die.
2 Timothy 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
Indeed. Some researchers have suggested an independent line may exist amongst microbes, in some - to most life - extreme environment. They've suggested we be alert to the possibility. In some ways, were it discovered, it would be the equivalent of finding extra-terrestrial life. I'd love to give citations for this, but at present it is merely a recollection of something read, somewhere, in the last decade.Actually it is not a premise but a conclusion. Evolution only says that organisms will change over time and different variations can survive depending on circumstances. The collection of evidence over time has indicated that all extant life forms have a common ancestor, but it would not be at all out of line if there were more than one starting point.
