For it is written, I will baffle and render useless and destroy the learning of the learned and the philosophy of the philosophers and the cleverness of the clever and the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate and nullify [them] and bring [them] to nothing.

So dear friend, why does the Creationist side of the debate rely upon half-truths, selective facts, or down right lied to support thier side?

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?
Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born,
and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Pilate saith unto him,
What is truth ?

Picture that for a minute.

Pilate asking the Creator of the Universe: "What is truth?"

Maybe Jesus did not answer, maybe He did. It is not recorded. But what are Pilate's next recorded words?

"I find in Him no fault."

I say: God's Word is True.

Amen?

Satan is the great Liar, and is very present in our churches today.

Be very carefull my friend in who you listen to. As Ronald Reagan once said: "Trust but Verify!"

The problem is how to expose a liar in our efforts to seek the truth. Personally, I will drop a rock on my foot to see if the theory of gravity was some scientific lie.

Ouch!

Or do someting like I am doing with my own telescopes. Build a spectrocope and explore the stars on my own. If the text books are wrong, then I will be the first to expose them for being liars.

There is a very real danger in relying upon a single book for your understanding of God. Be very carefull my friend, for Satan is always helping people to interpret that book in ways that will decieve you.

Not that the Bible is wrong, but how people interpret the wisdom expressed can, has, and will be distorted.

Sometimes a simple reality check is helpfull.

You need to understand that only a few creationists are lying or presented slanted facts and distortions of reality. The majority of them honestly believe the inane babble that they were taught by the lying few, so when a creationist tells you that the earth's magnetic field decay rate is such that the planet would have been uninhabitable even one-hundred thousand years ago it is more likely that they believe it to be true rather than that they are simply lying and hoping you won't already know that the earth's magnetic field oscillates regularly.
