"Creationism:" Define your terms

[Varda]

I guess in your world "devious" is me not assuming I know precisely where you are coming from and the point I made in the first post still stands. Private interpretation of truth is the problem and it equals the rejection of teaching authorities.

As a Protestant you're free to ignore St. Thomas but he is very clear about what exactly Theology is and what Philosophy is. Scientists do philosophy as as long as they confine themselves to the appropriate investigations in proximate causes they are not in conflict with Catholic theology but apparently are in conflict with yours.

Scientists doing evolutionary studies aren't baiting you and me believing in definitions and positions different from yours isn't baiting you either. I'll let it go at that.

St. Thomas has said nothing I disagree with. It is your 'personal truth'..........your own interpretation of his words and what they mean, with which I disagree.

Nice try though.

Sorry it took so long to reply, this is the first time I've logged on in days.

Any hoo, I wasn't referring to the human eye as unique, just extremely complex. Any eye for that matter. The human eye was just an example used because it was used with me to try to prove evolution. As I was saying, the complexity of the eye is so great that the number of consecutive mutations that would be needed to evolve the eye from, say, the eye of the lungfish, would reach far beyond the scope of improbability straight into mathematical impossibility. No matter how many millenia is allowed for the change to occur.

Is there anyone out there that believes that God created the big bang, and all else just followed from that? The big bang theory pretty much sounds like creationism to me.

Creationism is a theological view on the meaning(s) of the creation stories in Genesis. It is not a science. My study of science leads me to conclude that this universe was created with laws that permit the evolution of humans and like lifeforms. It also seems to me that if we were created by God, He endowed us with the intellect and imagination to discover creation through science. All of our centuries of scientific advancement must have been intended by Him.

I am not against evolution, I am more a creationist person, I support teaching of creationism. What the matter, the people have been so much brain washed with evolution being the only way. DNA is the code that makes us humans live CODE of elements-of forces-such as the EM.I
think creationism says-an object of control set a definition forth, a probability is still in place. Everything defines -yes,no-life,death-animate-unanimate-yin,yang, etc. Responce to stimuli-what is beyond life. Earth has not happened yet. It has been made to find it's probabilty, more like a model which has became real. Explains deja vu to me, something we have all had an experiance with. The future will be present, present will be past, past will be remembered, past was once future. What defines the difference and stops the memories of what will be.
