You believe me now, but you didn't believe me earlier, though, when I made that truthful statement, didn't you? I speak the Gospels.

I don't believe anyone who repeatedly lies.

You know that the "Darwin recanted" lie is exactly that, not taken seriously even by creationists, but keep trying to spread it. Such actions make it very hard to trust other things that you say.

>So how can it be measured? If there's no means to measure it then there's no reason to consider it.

A spirit is of God. Only God can measure our spirits. We're not privy to God's ways nor are we of His dimension. I'm not very religious, but that's the way I understand it. I hope it makes sense to you and the others, because it does - makes sense, that is.

With God everything is possible!

I've recently thought that the tactic of a creationist completely changing the subject to religion when they've run out of (or never had any) arguments based upon science should be given a formal term.

Post Hoc Ergo Scripture Hoc?

My point being, no one has anything to fear from Christianity, because Christianity isn't forced upon people. Evolution certainly is. Look at the response you've given me. You have every right to think whatever you like. That's what you were taught in school.

One truth in a pack of lies doesn't turn the lies into truth nor the liar into an honest person.

No, for a Christian to move to the Bible is no different from moving to a textbook- it is the truth to us. It's the best science there is. I'll take it over any textbook. 100% truth, it is.

Those people were not Christians. They only said that they were. I can call myself a girl scout, and that makes me neither a girl, nor a scout. (I'm a Protestant by the way-) :)

This is similar to the "argument from authority" or the "argument from force" or the "argument from ignorance" or a "circular argument."

Bunch fallacies here.

I propose to call such arguments: "The Fallacy Hermeneutic Perspicuity."

>Explain why his own daughter denied the story that he had recanted.

Why would she deny something that never took place in the first place? It don't make no sense. You deny something that was, not something that was not.

Anyway, I've never read that her daughter denied his recanting. I'll research this issue and see what I can find. But I doubt I'll find such a denial by his daughter. If I haven't found it, it ain't there; and, if it ain't there, it never happened - the daughter's denial, that is.

I'll research this very important issue and let you all know of my definite, authoritative, and final findings.

So you assert. There is little objective proof of the Bible being correct. It is just your word.

That is without going into the interpretation of the Bible. I could in a few minutes come up with an interpretation that says anything I want it to say. And since I am the source of the authenticity, you would, by your own rules, have to agree with me.

It is still the standard CRIDer "I can't argue so I will just say 'because I say so'" non-argument.

Oh, if an evolutionist had anything to argue, that would be a start. Humans are getting better with age? Where have you been? ha

If you haven't noticed, the Iranians will be helping us to "evolve" real soon.

>Are you drunk or high?

Well, I had a couple of drinks earlier. Nothing to it, believe me. The wheels are still turning according to God's will.

(I hate making such admissions.)

Thanks

CRIDers use so many fallacies, it is hard to keep track.

I can guarantee than in any of these Creov threads, I can find logical fallacies in 100% of their posts (strawman is far and away their favorite).

It's just that these Fallacitic Hermeneutic Perspicuities are so transparent and easily defeated I have to use little words to show them how their personal belief doesn't hold up.

But I am keeping your term on hand!! (LOL)

You now have been reduced to inanities and irrelevancies.

Because it was being falsely reported before she denied it. If you'd read the references that people had given you when you first made the false claim, you would know this. However, you clearly do not want to own up to the fact that you were clearly mistaken and that even professional creationist resources dispute your claim, so you willfully run away from any evidence that contradicts your position, because you are a coward.

Anyway, I've never read that her daughter denied his recanting.

You are a liar.

Another strawman. Dang, you so-called Christians lie like dogs.

She deines it because others assert it. If I say you are green and you deny it, it doesn't somehow suggest there was nothing to deny.

How do you get up in the morning? Do your morning prayers include "Dear God, let me be a good liar and not get caught again"?

"All things were created by Christ and for him, and in him all things cohere (the elements)."

If that's the case then, why the absolute rejection of the theory of evolution?

The God of The Bible is the creator, He is omnipotent. To claim that evolution cannot be true, amounts to placing limitations on Him, making Him no longer omnipotent.

If evolution happened, then it happened because He made it happen.

There is absolutely no conflict in believing Biblical Creation, Christ the Saviour, and evolution.

Proving that evolution happened will have no more of an impact on Christianity, than proving that Earth was round did.
