If the Bible says that God sits on a Rosewood throne then yes I believe it. Are you not poor nor a beggar? Well lucky you - but I do believe that we are all poor and beggars furthermore that we are made of dust and that the Earth becoming sin-filled does resemble a dunghill.
Oh and I retract my apology in your private mail...
“creationism”? What is that?
Looking for terrestrial (Earth based) causes of global climate change have been useless in explaining or predicting physical phenomena as they ignore extraterrestrial (e.g. solar) causes of rising or falling temperatures.
Sometimes earthlings need to accept that there exist things larger than ourselves.
>>Try harder.<<
Alright. Your God is confined to the last 6000 years. He did nothing for all of eternity until 6000 years ago. The entire cosmos was something, after an eternity of existence, God finally decided to do. Surely there is an explanation for the light of stars to get here in that 6000 years because God did nothing before that.
Preposterous. My God is much, much greater then that.
Sometimes people need to accept that existence is much larger and older than the human mind can possibly conceive of.
For is it not said that the Heavens proclaim the glory of God?
You conflate time and eternity; they’re not the same thing.
Time is a recently created phenomenon that is a feature of the recently created physical universe. Eternity is where God exists, and what he does there, aside from dealing with us, is not really revealed in the scriptures, and I suspect that the reason is that our brains are not capable of grasping it.
At this point I have no idea what you are offering here.
To be skeptical of their prophecy and claims that man is a lethal sinner is the be a heretic. A denier.
Belief in creationism likely correlates by race, levels of education, and affluence. Maybe in the bible belt there are still sensible affluent white folk who are high on the Genesis myth, but in the rest of the rational world this is no longer the case.
Many don’t see the two subject concepts as mutually exclusive.
That because climate “science” wackos have hijacked the process, manipulated data, and “chang(ed) the peer-review process if we have to” (to keep up the fraud they had to) - all to “hide the decline” ; that supernatural explanations for physical phenomena are preferable to physical explanations?
The meme is that man is responsible (sin) and he must pay (tithe to the Third World and Pope Al Gore).
Plenty of politicians and organizations like the UN have lined up against the people of Earth in this matter, ready to shake down the West.
Well, at least you give us a good laugh!
None of this is for you; don’t let it disturb you.
The solar radiation from the SUN is extraterrestrial causation, and science is not at all trying to deny that it causes the plants to grow and the ice to melt, etc.
So your point is that this anti-Global warming garbage is like a religion with sins and tithes?
An interesting point, no doubt; but I hardly see how that is applicable to what I said.
But nevermind. Carry on!

.
Now, just insert ‘evolution’ in place of climate, and you will have the “Uniform Fact Theory” of american politics. (don’t worry, nobody is holding their breath waiting for your enlightenment)
>>and I suspect that the reason is that our brains are not capable of grasping it.<<
Or unwilling in some instances and to some extent.
To box an eternal God into a 6-7000 time frame when evidence exists that this world and universe is much older then that is to denigrate the greatness of God and invite ridicule of non believers. Surely if our God is as great as we believe Him to be He must have done great things prior to the world as we know it. How can we expect them to believe a great God when we claim He did nothing prior to 6000 years ago. Science is only beginning to show how great He really is and what He did prior to the world as we know it.
You keep talking about evidence for an old Earth, but none is in view.
It is you that wishes to manipulate God, to agree with your humanist friends. He says that the wisdom of men is foolishness, but you wish to embrace it.
And just as a glib aside, I’ve ventured that Man trying to comprehend the Divine Creator is akin to explaining inflight meals and beverages to a fish.
Probably because MSNBC is defining "creation" specifically as YEC.
