"Don't you believe the men that told you God wrote the Bible? Or did God tell you himself?"

Iwould have thought that you knew the correct answer to that one. The Lord does indeed tell his own himself, but he says nothing to those who he knows are not his.

I think you were lying when you said you would point us to the thread. Were you lying, or are you going to post a link?

LOL--are you a research scientist, or are you a peer-reviewer?

I want citations of specific fossils in specific museums that are faked.

..and I want specific names of the creatures you claim are "transitional." I want first and last names, family history and blood type. Give me genetic codes for each to prove they are related.

Get a grip. The site I linked to isn't even a Christian site. It's an industry site.

That's unfair. It's so hard to get DNA from fossils.

I said 'appears.' Viewed from a distant point, any planet 'appears' to be supported by nothing.

The word "supported" is absolutely meaningless in this context. There is nothing against which a planet needs support or on which a planet hangs. That's the point. It doesn't even work as an analogy.

So I have looked at the article. Tell me what is wrong with it. Be specific.

Funny, the models of a solar system in classrooms hang from the ceiling with string. I think it's a useful image, hanging between competing forces of gravity and momentum.

" ..and I want specific names of the creatures you claim are "transitional.""

So, when you said that these fake fossils were being used in museums, you were *misspeaking*? :)

" Get a grip. The site I linked to isn't even a Christian site. It's an industry site."

And it didn't mention any fossils being used in museums, it was warning fossil collectors against fake fossils. Paleontologists don't sell fossils to the public and dig their own finds. The site you linked to didn't substantiate your wild claims that fake fossils are being used by scientists in museums.

If He was infinitely just He would not kill an innocent, would He?

Which "innocent" did God kill, according to the concepts of God you are referring?

I know of no such claims.....

If you are referring to Christ, then that is, in fact, the central message of the gospel. The innocent took evil into himself and suffered for it.

IF thatis where you are having a problem, then I commend you for hitting the root of all problems with Xty so quickly. All the other little pecadilloes are silly little nothings. If you are going to have a problem with the gospel, this is the place to do it. How could an infinitely holy and impure God become the essence of evil and die under its curse, only to triumph completely over it, leaving an empty tomb as testimony to the validity of the claim. It is either the most incredulous collection of blasphemous horseshit the world has ever seen or it is the central story of the cosmos.

Thank you for your interaction.

You wouldn't find the article because you didn't want to. Now you want those here to believe you genuinely want to discuss it?

I don't believe you.

You have shown evidence of bad faith--you should not be believed.

The real solar system isn't hanging from a string in a classroom. And if it is "hanging" between gravity and momentum, then it is not "hanging on nothing," as Job states. Which again proves my point that the bible just isn't scientifically prescient.

LOL... I know that there's no capital "C" in the man's name.

Great. It is a good start. Let me know how you get on with the rest of it.

Well, duh. Such a sluggish imagination. I don't think I want you teaching children.

I'll give it all the consideration that philosophical musings deserve.

It doesn't matter whether my interest is genuine. You aren't debating me. This is a public forum, and so far you have revealed yourself to be an immature twit. You promised to provide a link, and when asked for the link, you made a children's game of it, finally posting the link to a third party.

You made certain claims about the article that I don't find in the article. For example, I don't see a claim in the article that a new species was created. The title suggests that, but headlines are written to sell copies, not argue science.

Here's what the article actually says: "...evolutionary biologists at the University of Chicago replaced a single gene in fruit flies and discovered a mechanism by which two different "races" begin to become different species..."

LOL... I'm sure you wouldn't want me teaching children; I wouldn't teach them your fairy tales and creation myths are true. And I'm sure you'd just hate that.

"Fake fossils are a part of biological science?"

No, not biological science, but evolution, which like it's cousin astrology, is a boat anchor around the throat of science.

"Which part?"

The heart of evolution is falsehood.
