RE :You're a hypocrite. You think people should be free to believe in the virgin birth but not free to believe in the events of Genesis 1-11.
No, that's the opposite of what I said.
Not it isn't. It's exactly what you said, and what you say below when you call creationism a "blasphemy."
They are free to believe both as should be.
If you actually maintain that you can defend the right to believe in creationism while calling it a "blasphemy," then you have mental problems.
However they should not be claiming both are borne out by proof, not only is that an affront to logic but its a affront to Christianity which is all about faith.
With this kind of twisted thinking, chrstianity deserves to be affronted.
You reject Genesis 1-11 because there is no scientific proof (or because there is scientific evidence against it), yet you accept the "virgin birth" on "faith." What would be required to prove to you that the "virgin birth" could not have possibly happened? If I say it violates the laws of nature you will simply dishonestly claim that in this case "gxd" made an "exception" and "set aside" the laws of nature. Yet the very notion that the Creation might not have happened in accordance with any natural law or process known to science automatically disqualifies its very possibility to you. Are you being inconsistent just to get a rise out of people, or are you really that dense?
Creationism is Blasphemy
Which you wrote just above anyone should be free to believe. So what is it? Is it "blasphemy," or is it something anyone "should be free to believe in?"
Just how is someone supposed to be "free to believe" something when every school one attends is telling him that this thing he is "free to believe" never happened? Just how many of your co-religionists would believe in "miracles" like the "virgin birth" or the alleged resurrection of Chr*st if every school they ever attended had taught them that it had never really happened?
Your "freedom to believe" in the "virgin birth" or any other real or alleged miracle is exactly equal to your "freedom to believe" that Genesis 1-11 is literally, historically true. Because the argument against all of them is absolutely identical: "it didn't happen because it couldn't have."
No, I didnt say that at all.
I said they should be free (and respected) for believing the Bible,
but that (scientific) Creationism is Blasphemy.
I never supported believing creationists., I might as well say to believe Obama if I did that.
