"BTW, it is not for my honor that I believe...instead I give God the honor he deserves for his creation."


I am seriously puzzled by that sentence as a response to my comment that accepting Creation by faith is an honorable thing whereas pushing pseudo-science is not.

My intended interpretation is that is it *because* someone is honorable, not in order to acquire honor.

A lot of what is published on Creation advocating sites is clearly dishonest, and I cannot reconcile that with any religious precepts that I know of outside of the Islamic permission to lie to infidels. Certainkly nothing in Christianity.

Accepting Creation as an act of faith is an honorable thing.

I take this to mean that for me as a Christian to accept Creationism means that I am simply trying to maintain my "reputation" or "good name". IOW, I believe it for my own sake. I wanted to simply take the focus away from me deserving any honor for believing to the one who is honorable because of his creation.

Sounds like with your response you've clarified that. ??

And another BTW, saying "A lot of what is published..." seems a bit much for such a blanket statement of comparing Creationists to extreme Islamofascists.
