Thanks. Always curious.
LOL! Yep, she's the one. And you thought humans and dinosaurs didn't live at the same time.
OHhhh............
HMmmm.............
You almost convince me to steal a new tagline!
...painting Charles Darwin as a racist...
... anyone who advances it is either a wretched dissembler or a mental juvenile.
So many decisions: so little time.
WHAT???
It's NOT descended from 'a common ancestral' THING??
"You bad Creationists give the REST of us a bad name!"
(There: ya happy now; PH?)
Ain't ROM wonderful!?
Except that man was engaged in scientific research long before the Bible was written. Talk to the Chinese, for instance.
Be my guest.
I've used it in conversations, classes, and correspondence. Sometimes it goes over people's heads, other times it generates a delayed reaction, occasionally someone reacts immediately.
It's always fun, and informative, to watch the response.
theistic - deistic
What's the difference?
I dont know Chinese.
Well, I don't speak Chinese either. But they were engaged in scientific study before the Bible was written. So Science predates the Bible by a long shot.
"Or repeat the third grade."
Touchy, touchy, touchy. And juvenile, but I won't bother mentioning that.
Did we go to the dentist today?
The obvious intent of your original 3rd grade post was to pour gas on the flames of this thread, by insinuating (multi-syllabic word of an accusatory nature) that Creationists selectively participated (do I need to use smaller words?) in the usage of 'reason' and 'logic', and actively avoided their usage in crevo threads.
Since crevo indicates both creationists and evolutionists, and since you and I have crossed paths before, and thus I know you to be an evolution apologist, it was a reasonable and logical inference that you were referring to creationists as the ones not using reason and logic.
I would be pleased to know, however, that you were actually referring to evolutionists.
(Say it's so, Joe."
In the case of nmh, it's a safer bet to assume dishonesty. He has a history of it (see my first response to him in this discussion).
ok, come on. Before the Bible was written?
I'll go research this myself.
But the overall point was that the Bible "documents" what God did to create science...not that its the 1st textbook on it. The Chinese were not here before God. I know they are pretty efficient folks...but not that good.
NIV 1 Peter 1:17-21
17. Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
18. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,
19. but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
20. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
21. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
NIV 1 Corinthians 2:7
No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
NIV 2 Timothy 1:8-10
8. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,
9. who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
10. but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
NIV Titus 1:1-4
1. Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness--
2. a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
3. and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
4. To Titus, my true son in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
"When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth" even Helen THOMAS would have been a major babe!
Difficult to say.
"Timeless" might be the best answer.
