Given that you define ALL science as creation science "All real world science is creation science" (your post #413 on this thread), then by definition, all scientific achievements have to be made by creation scientists.

It kind of looks tautological, eh? Not very informative.


Just so you realize that 2000 years ago God knew that the Theory of Evolution would come about. He was prepared ahead of time.

Romans 1:18-25
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (emphasis added)

LOL.

Thanks for the emphasis added at the end of the post. I thought your copy of the Bible just got more strident as the passages went on.

As to your contention that Romans 1:23 reflects God's being "prepared" for the ToE, I would counter that part of that depends on the translation one uses. Your translation appears to come from the New King James, but read the passage in other translations.


The King James version reads:

23: And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.


The English Standard Version reads:

23: and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Young's literal translation reads:

23: and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

In this commentators humble opinion, it is clear that this passage is not discussing scientific theories that will arise in the future, but rather the appearance of the idols then being worshipped. In fact, some of the descriptions read an awful lot like that which was being worshipped in Egypt at the time.

Just a thought.


I looked at the same passage in
