I regret that you have become hostile. I decline to engage in personal vituperation. Please regard this conversation as ended.
Survival of the fittest is so 19th century, don't you agree?
How about "reproductive advantage" or something else a little closer to modern thought?
I am merely trying to get a grasp of where in the Bible some of these things are supposed to be...my Bible does not say that many different men and women of all the different races were created on the 6th day...it says Adam and Eve were created, and that is the traditional Christian belief, that on the 6th day of creation one man and one woman were created, not men and women of all the races...
And where is this 8th day that Murray talks about..this 8th day, where the 2nd Adam was created...he was not discussing Genesis in the lecture part of his program, but rather was answering some questions from the viewers...and someone asked about was this 2nd Adam created on the 8th day, and Murrays response was 'Bingo, you have got that right'...
I just cannot find these things in any Bible that I have...
Didn't ask what gravity does, asked how it does it ;)
Show me one post where I called someone stupid. Do it now or I WILL have you banned.
No, it doesn't say that. Where are you getting the phrase "and then The Adam was formed" from? It says "God formed man out of...".
Genesis 2:
[5] And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
[6] But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
[7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
How many "scientific illiterates" do you think work as engineers.
Many.
Do you know how much science is in an engineering curriculum?
Yes, I do, and the answer is none. Engineering is applied science for economic gain. It is not the practice of science. Engineering is not concerned with exploring the unknown, it is concerned with applying accepted scientific knowledge for economic gain. Applying scientific theories to produce economically profitable products is not 'science'.
Look up what the word "man" means.
Suddenly.
Gravity sucks.
Gravity sucks.
However, you can fight gravity with levity...
Or the correct kind of bra.
Are you sure it doesn't hold it down? If there was no gravity, would the moon crash to the earth, or take off into space?
So, since the scientific understanding of DNA shows that all the people on earth today, cannot have come from just two people, it is permissible to extrapolate from that, that what the Bible actually says is wrong, about God creating one man and one woman, Adam and Eve, and that what is really meant is that way more than just one man and one woman were created? I thought it was actually written in Genesis, that Adam, one man was created, and after that, one woman Eve..that is what my Bible says...
If you are serious...
Google Graviton
The rudeness was in not pinging him -- it is FR etiquette.
And of course, evoids are hardly the ones to give lectures on "rudeness."
Please don't make me prove that when it comes to insults, CR/Iders throw them early and often. Those of us who understand TToE actually show amazing restraint in the face of straight insults, ad hominem "reasoning," non sequitur "logic," guilt by association and pretty much every logical fallacy in the book.
The so-called "Christians" are the worst and most vituperous of the bunch.
Those of us on the science merely are exasperated with willful ignorance. If we use a little sarcasm to make our point, at least it is based in logic.
Ah, so now we are down to what certain words mean, and how they are interpreted..I have been told that the Scriptures are not subject to interpretation(a view I do not subscribe to)...
What does the word 'man' mean in this context?
Also please explain about this 8th day when the 2nd Adam was created...I cannot find that either...
Him calling me a liar in post 288, and then that sexist crap in post 1,032 should help with that.
I always heard there is no Gravity -- the Earth sucks.
Beat me by 47 seconds.
