Scientists Back Off of Ardi Claims (Evos give climate-hoaxers a run for their money...LOL!)
ICR News ^ | December 4, 2009 | Brian Thomas, M.S.

Posted on 12/04/2009 8:07:39 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

In May 2009, a remarkably well-preserved extinct primate, nicknamed “Ida,” was hailed as one of the most important fossil finds ever. It had features that some interpreted as a link between two primate body forms. At the time, ICR News suggested that its evolutionary significance was far overblown, predicting that the scientific consensus would offer retractions. Those retractions came three months later, confirming that the fossil―called Darwinius―was really just an extinct lemur variety...

I like that. “Little Boy”. It goes well with your joke about disabled veterans. Now I know why you threw that slur out!

No attempt to accuse God of deception. Please see posts 24 and 46. My post 14 was light hearted but was taken too seriously.

It is not within your capability to determine what God's word is or who is a real Christian.

Yet that's the very thing that evos are doing themselves.

They claim that creationists have no ability to determine what Scripture is and what it means and then they turn right about and tell us how to interpret the Bible.

They tell us that we have no business determining who is and who is not a Christian, and then turn right around and tell us that if we don't follow mainstream Christian thought, we're not Christians but cultists.

Rules for thee, but not for me.

The hypocrisy of their positions is pharisaical in magnitude.

Theistic evolutionists have created their own private god in their minds. Their god was incapable of creation, and had to rely on evolution, thus he is as weak and fallible as they are; the perfect god.

So an entity that can create the Universe with its awe inspiring natural laws, which has eventually led to humans is as weak and as fallible as a man? I don't buy your logic.

Let us here, who believe that what the Bible says is true, have our discussion.

I noticed that you do not correct my statement that the YECers will eventually go after the OECers.

If you want to 'have your discussion' take it to the RELIGION forum.

We’re swimming in science and technology, and yet, many take the Flintstones to be a documentary.

Arrogance can NOT coexist peacefully in a Christian. Nor can any other ‘self-ish’ emotion.

Point proven, publicly, thank you

Every church I've attended has claimed the Bible is the literal word of God.

Sure there are some allegorical passages, but Genesis, in particular, is literal.

Are you saying that with all my moving around (8-9 states), and all the churches I've dropped in on, that I've managed to find just the one little group in the area that believes exactly like me--just on pure chance?

>> “How about theistic evolutionists?”

Theistic evolutionists have created their own private god in their minds. Their god was incapable of creation, and had to rely on evolution, thus he is as weak and fallible as they are; the perfect god. <<

If patience is a virtue then your version of the 6,000 year old God has no Virtue as he did a rather quick and sloppy rush job of 6 days to whip everything up and then plunk down man in the middle of it and then watch.

God is so BEYOND our understanding and he works in mysterious ways, Would a God with infinite patience and ability need to do a rush job in the first place or could he take his time (if he even has a concept of time as being omnipotence would be on the level of us as “time flatlanders” and god as a being living with multiple dimensions of time.) For all you know the Universe could only be a few seconds old with God pre-programing everything and only NOW setting it in motion. What is the present and what is the past?

To limit God to time frames easily managed by our feeble human brains is a great disservice to the great almighty.

"How can an outsider cause strife between Christians? Only Christians can cause strife between them."

More proof that you have no idea what you're talking about. - You should try actually reading the Bible. - The adversary and his minions cause all the strife. That includes you, apparently, judging by your posting here.

Again, just pointing out the truth. Your rules, you should follow them. Not get angry when we point out your hypocrisy.

“You people are equivalent to the AGW crowd trying to silence the deniers.”

Why do you make the comparison between evolution and AGW? Is it because both are “science”? One is, and one isn’t. To clarify, AGW is not.

Now, here’s my equivalent comparison: Since Christians believe in God, and since Scientologists and People’s Temple members believe in God, then Christianity is equivalent to Scientology and the People’s Temple.

That’s your logic. Am I wrong?

The Bible contains some allegory, but its content is certainly not just limited to allegory.

I neither call your God into question, nor do I call Him a liar, liar.

.....but you might not have been referring to me, as I do not have a space in my screen name.

I did correct your statement by pointing out your ‘projection’. Are you a closet dem? You claim that WE will come after YOU, yet here YOU are in a thread not of your belief, coming after US.
