Amazingly that is just how our FReeper Geocentricists present the argument. The “teachings of God”, to them, means that the Earth is the center and the Sun circles it and that only “the teachings of man” instructs us that gravity makes the Earth orbit the Sun.

Thus we see the intellectual suicide that creationism leads to. Once one thinks that their own interpretation of Scripture is “the teachings of God” they have condemned themselves to their incorrect view without any recourse to reason logic or evidence that would show just how ignorant and wrong they are, and how their interpretation is in error.

I notice you don't take the same tactic on interpretation of Scripture in light of reality when betty boop waxes on about the theory of relativity apologetics in regards to the age of the universe. I would wonder why, but I know why; and nothing you do or have done so far surprises me.

I do not follow your argument, Allmendream. Indeed, I don't even recognize it.

I am not a FReeper Geocentricist, nor a YEC. Neither is metmom, as far as I know. :^)

So why are you yelling at us about how geocentricists present the argument?

And oh, BTW — what is your definition of "creationist?" 'Cause if I'm not mistaken, metmom is one, and so am I. To me, a creationist is simply one who believes that God created the universe, heaven and earth. Period.

As a Christian — I seem to recall that you have self-identified as such in the past — don't you believe that, too?

So we are to leave the understanding of the scriptures to you intellectuals, eh??? God doesn't reveal anything to anyone but the guys with the smarts education because only they can decipher what God said and didn't say in view of science, human logic, etc...

Would seem to me that one would have to be spiritually dead to think so highly of himself and so little of the inspired Holy words of God...But heh, that's just me...
