He's right. Why ask for proof when you know you wouldn't believe in staples even if someone stapled something to your forehead?
The Bible is self validating. There's so many prophecies in it that have come to pass that it's sorta obvious...but not to you guys.
Which god?im not sure about that. we actually do have scientific evidence for the existence of god, as you can see here: the self replicating watch argument
Fulfilled prophecies (if any) only validate the prophecies. They don't validate any particular genre determination for the creation stories in Genesis.He's right. Why ask for proof when you know you wouldn't believe in staples even if someone stapled something to your forehead?

Is that your proof?
I beg your pardon. I thought you meant that fulfilled prophecies proved YECism. They don't, of course, so perhaps you would be kind enough to tell me what you really meant.Well it is a complete sentence I guess, but, what does that even mean?
You could be a politician with the ability to say things that have no meaning.
Do you Atheist guys believe in the paranormal? I'm guessing no, but don't really know.
. Oh boy, where to start to clear up your misconceptions . Some species evolve rapidly ( allopolyploid species for example are pretty much the next generation) . Some don’t . This doesn’t mean that the earth is young. it just means the environment can support another organism-an environmental niche opened up.who said we have no evidence for a young earth? for instance: (from my other thread) we have empirical evidence that speciation may take about less then 100 years:
Rapid Evolution Changes Species in Real Time | DiscoverMagazine.com
Watching new species evolve in real time
so lets assume a tipical speciation event= 100 years.
one of the largest family on earth is the curculionidae which contain almost 100,000 species. so if we start with 2 species then after about one generation of a speciation event (100 years) we will get 4 different species. and after another generation of speciation we will get 8 and so on. so we only need about less then 20 generation of speciation to get more then 100,000 different species (2^20) . or about 2000 years.
we also have evidence for a suppose 15-20 my old DNA. when science show us that a DNA cant survive so long time.
first: i used an empirical evidence for speciation. second: i also gave you the example of DNA which suppose to be 15-20 my old. when science show us that such DNA cant survive so long. and third: i have no problem with an old earth. i just open to a young earth too.. Oh boy, where to start to clear up your misconceptions . Some species evolve rapidly ( allopolyploid species for example are pretty much the next generation) . Some don’t
Here's a good passage from Hebrews 11.3-4:We don’t have to believe that the Bible is a history . In fact , it’s wrong a lot of times . Archeology and life science have demonstrated that many times
I used to believe in ghosts. Technically, the only thing atheists share is a lack of belief in deities, which makes for a very mixed bag of people.Do you Atheist guys believe in the paranormal? I'm guessing no, but don't really know.
I’m a Christian but I also have a biology degree . I had never even heard that people didn’t accept common descent until at least a decade after I got my degree. Talk about mouth dropping open surprise. So since I do understand how science gets it’s answers, I’m not about to discard that for what seems to me like ignorance and superstition.Here's a good passage from Hebrews 11.3-4:
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh."
So your reason overrules God. I do understand secularism.I’m a Christian but I also have a biology degree . I had never even heard that people didn’t accept common descent until at least a decade after I got my degree. Talk about mouth dropping open surprise.
