Sounds like fun.

I studied under Ken Ham at a 1 year bible college, and he has taken a LOT of flack for his science- but that's the way of hte left- ostracize and ridicule anyone that dissagrees with you- calling them psuedo-scientists in a nasty attempt to try to discount their facts.


The way of hte left......? There have been quite a number of Freepers here who are either creationists or do not accept evolution but have dismissed the 6000 yr. claim. So accepting or rejecting the 6000 yr. claim is not a right/left dichotomy. Suggesting such a thing is, itself, ironically a way of "ostracizing" others who share your political views.

Being a scientist and believing the tenants of evolution DO NOT imply being leftist nor does it imply a non-belief in God.

What factual basis is creationism based on? Oh yeah, a book, albeit a very good book with excellent lessons on how to lead your life, but a book. And again, a book rewritten for the umpteenth time by an english king for political reasons.

Your beliefs are based in faith and that is great, for you.

I personally believe that God is more than great enough to have created a universe such as we have and to let it "evolve". Did I miss something? Is God not so great as to allow that and many other as yet to be discovered miracles occur? Your condescension regarding those who do not believe as you do is just as repugnant as the moslem cultists and their "conversion by the sword, we are right, you are all infidels".

Gee willikers.. first class postage was only 32 cents 6000 years ago?

Dang! How much was a coke and a moon pie?

[conniew]

Wow. Some of you Darwinists 'debate' like DUmmies. Appalling.

Coke and peanuts, RC and moon pie.

instant pertification

I don't suppose you have a link for that would you??

You posted to a YEC're.

You seem new to the crevo threads. Is it so hard for Darwinists to understand that Creationism is based on years of scientific research? If you still haven't realized that then I have no reason to believe you know anything about origins.

Well, I haven't sawed anyone's head off on camera yet, but if that's the way you feel, what can I say?

[Central Scrutiniser]

Care to post some scientific evidence of creationism? Peer reviewed, published data, not some sham stuff pulled out of a phoney evangelical "doctor's" posterior.

Thanks.

[UpAllNight]

--Is it so hard for Darwinists to understand that Creationism is based on years of scientific research? --

Where is that scientific research. Certainly not in any scientific journals.

[conniew]

I know. I meant to post to "All". My bad.

[Tim Long]

Certainly not in any scientific journals.

And how is it supposed to when Darwinists scoff at the mere mention of opposing views? They fire professors, pour money into school board elections, and you expect Creationist evidence in journals? Appearing in a journal has nothing to do with truth.

"Almost every culture has a creation myth. On Biblical creation presuppositions, they are all basically variations of the core theme of the God-given creation account found in Genesis. A number of researchers have concluded that the source of all creation myths stems back to a common point, probably actual historical events in history (Van Over 1980; Roth, 1981). They all come from one early source and are different only because time and local cultural circumstances have embellished or altered them. This is the reason why the details in the creation myths vary, but either the basic outline is similar, or at least they share common elements."

A museum celebrating ignorance. Shameful and completely contrary to the purpose of a museum.

There's a reason that Catholic schools (well, most of them anyway, I'm sure there's exceptions) teach evolution. God's plan for mankind includes gaining as much knowledge as possible about the universe he created. Ignoring evidence that is right in front of our eyes and furthering that ignorance to our children goes against his will - of that I am sure.

[Tim Long]

So Henry Morris did nothing with his life but read Genesis? Did the RATE project just consist of reading Genesis?

[conniew]

Where is that scientific research. Certainly not in any scientific journals.

Well, that's pretty handy, isn't it? The evolutionary scientists who publish the journals refuse to publish the work of young earth creationist scientists, then say their work is not valid because it isn't published in scientific journals.

Circular reasoning, anyone?

Thank you! A couple of the links appear to be down at the moment, but there is a lot of great information at the working ones. I have found myself in a couple of debates with people who feel that science and the Bible are mutually exclusive and appreciate some good sources to support my contention that they are not. Of course, this still requires a greater understanding of the use of parables and allegories than some can manage.

[Tim Long]

Ignoring evidence that is right in front of our eyes

Such as? I think greater ignorance is believing something just because someone with a Ph.D. told you so.
