There is a difference between preaching and teaching.Just more preaching.
There is a difference between preaching and teaching.
Science says you can live out your full life. The average age expectancy right now is around 80 I think. They try to keep people alive at least that long. The Bible says we can add years to our life as we all know there is a potential for people to live up to 120 years. But 100 is doing pretty good.You will be immortal?
Where does science state this?
I may but in the post we were talking about I was comparing Evolution today with the same theory as it was taught by the Greeks 2,000 years ago. I used Paul in the Bible who was a Greek as a expert witness to make my point.With teaching, you impart knowledge. With preaching, you indoctrinate into beliefs. Unfortunately, you do more of the latter than the former.
Agreed, we know it was the big bang, we're trying to find out what created that.We do though.
And people can claim we don't, but that's not going to change anything.
They're changed so they can be updated with the newest information. As for discarding old information, they rarely do that because it's wrong. It's just they need to add new on top of the old. If you can find many parts that are discarded because they now think a book that hasn't been updated for 3,000 years is right, made up from oral stories a lot older. Be sure to tell the world.That's why their text books change so often and why the stuff we are told is true today is discarded later on.
Seems god is on the losing side then. Or he allows satan to run free and before the Israelites discovered him, satan had free reign.To answer your question. The "so many Gods" your referring to are basically demons that follow Satan in his rebellion against God. The Bible refers to: "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe." So you have just done an effective job of showing that the Bible is true. I have studied some Greek Mythology and I have studied the Bible and I can assure you that there is no comparison. If your confused it is because you have not actually studied either mythology or the Bible.

The same theory was not around even in Darwin's day.The same theory wasn't around 2,000 years ago.
Then why did you say that it was around 2,000 years ago?The same theory was not around even in Darwin's day.
Which makes my point, even if they could get life to form, it would be from intelligent design. Intelligence is needed or it would happen in the real world. Even if conditions on the early earth were different, we don't know how they were and it would be from knowledge of how chemistry works to even succeed at the end goal.
It was actually Michael that did battle with Satan.Seems god is on the losing side then. Or he allows satan to run free and before the Israelites discovered him, satan had free reign.
depends on how this life is created.
in order to be valid, it must be created from the elements in one continuous reaction.
in my opinion, if science accomplishes the above, it will completely smash the god scenario forever.
the big question is, will science ever accomplish such a feat.
currently, the prospects doesn't look good.
given the head start of the final functioning product, vast computing power, and an almost endless amount of research, science isn't even close to achieving this goal.
perhaps you don't understand evolution. It's not undirected.What evidence do you have that evolution is anything other than a mindless, unguided, undirected process with no goals or plan? what could be guiding it? someone's imagination?
Other animals do not have Gods because they have no imaginations with which to imagine Gods.
Just as the title says. What evidence could show that creationism was wrong? And I am talking hypothetical here (I've seen that some people here have trouble grasping that concept).
i direct you to the book "the logic of chance" by eugene koonin who happens to be a molecular biologist and the lead investigator of NCBI.Actually biologists would disagree. We are creating more and more building blocks and understanding of chemistry. We can create and manipulate artificial cells and their nuclei.
They said we would never reach the moon.
Evolution is based very solidly in evidence."Creationism" in itself is not based in evidence, but human ideas. It's something "that has to be believed in" for it to be true to whomever believes it. Personal beliefs cannot be falsified if they aren't based in evidence to begin with.
Creationism can be only challenged through philosophical question. A conjecture of this may be something like:
1. Was there the idea of God before humans existed? What constitutes as a human believing in God? As there is evidence of evolution in humans (remains of homo erectus and Homo sapiens).
2. If there was no idea of God before humans existed, did/does He exist at all? Or does it even matter if he existed prior to human thought, as humans are the only living thing that worships a deity?
3. If there was an idea of God before human existed, did he intend for evolution to happen in humans?
These questions only challenge creationism because creationism is a belief and not en evidential conjecture.
No, in some States they're very keen to keep evolution out of schools. In case people learn the truth, like most scientists have.I thought it was the other way round, that they weren't keen to have creation taught in schools (because they are afraid that if it is, even more people will start to doubt evolution).
Some would say it is guided by survival of the fittest. Meaning that the unfit do not survive.What evidence do you have that evolution is anything other than a mindless, unguided, undirected process with no goals or plan? what could be guiding it? someone's imagination?
