Why are some Christians anti Evolution?

[Hans Blaster]

Yes, in base 2.

Oh great, a joke explainer.

No - the whole point of divine command theory is that there is no good and evil beyond what God says or does - What He says and does is good by definition, what is contrary to that is evil by definition, and what humans might feel about it is irrelevant.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7

[Tinker Grey]

That would be silly. Everyone knows 1+1 = 10.

There are 10 types of people in the world ...

 

[stevil]

That is illogical nonsense. You say "rocks naturally take millions of years to form" but according to you there never were millions of years for this "natural" formation to take place.

[AV1611VET]

Which is a form of young Earth creationism AKA Last Thursdayism.

Um ... you might want to study Last Thursdayism a little more in-depth before you make a statement like this.

How is it different from "apparent age?" According to Last Thursdayism everything was created last Thursday and only appears to be older.

 

[AV1611VET]

How is it different from "apparent age?" According to Last Thursdayism everything was created last Thursday and only appears to be older.

In Apparent Age, some 313,300 Thursdays have transpired.

In Last Thursdayism, some 1 Thursdays have transpired.

Bt they are ony apparent Thursdays.

 

[AV1611VET]

Apparent ≠ Last

In Apparent Age, some 313,300 Thursdays have transpired.

In Last Thursdayism, some 1 Thursdays have transpired.

300k real Thursdays and then some false apparent past or 1 Thursday and a false apparent past. At this point it's just a negotiation.

Even if you won't accept that your own memories could be faked that only puts the false apparent past back a few thousand Thursdays depending on your age.

Why do creationists bring a Norse god into the picture?

Even if you won't accept that your own memories could be faked that only puts the false apparent past back a few thousand Thursdays depending on your age.

You're looking at it from the Last Thursday standpoint.

Try looking at it from Apparent Age.

If you can't see the difference between 313,000 and 1, I'm afraid I can't help you.

 

[AV1611VET]

Why do creationists bring a Norse god into the picture?

Why don't you guys quit, while you're 313,299 feet (59 miles) behind?

Contortionism is easier for a contortionist that this sort of nonsense is for a Creationist ..

To believe the world was created last Thursday does require you to believe that your own memories of any time prior are fabricated, but I see no practical difference between believing that everything before 100 years ago was falsified and everything before 6000 years ago was falsified since I have no memory of either period.
