So you agree that scientific discovery imperils the soul?
I guess “Ignorance is Strength” is the Creationist motto.
They sure do depend upon the ignorant for their money.
The more educated one is, especially in science, the less likely they are to believe in Creationism.
No wonder Creationists hate knowledge so much.
Are you really married to that strawman?
Creationists quite evidently think knowledge will turn people away from Christ, when in reality all it seems to do is turn them away from Creationism.
The more educated someone is, especially in science, the less likely they are to believe in Creationism.
That is not a strawman, it is the truth.
You need new venom. I’ve gotten immune.
I was reliving some past fun when I noticed I didn’t help out here.
That was a quote from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Zaphod Beeblebrox at his finest.
Good time, good times, eh e/s?
And those who call themselves Christians who believe in the TOE are not more pious than Christians who take God at His Word, no matter how superior to others they claim to be because of their supposed mental superiority by holding fast to a certain dogmatic view of science.
Evos who claim to be Christians have the same attitude towards others that they accuse creationists of having. The characteristics they condemn most in creationists are the ones they exhibit most themselves.
So one can only “call themselves” Christian if they have confidence in the theory of evolution?
I do not fail to take God at his word. God said that a day to him is as a thousand years and a thousand years a day. Days without a Sun are not necessarily a 24 hour period.
Those who are Geocentric Christians take God at his word when the Bible says “He set the foundations of the Earth so that it would not be moved”.
According to them I suppose you fail to take God at his word.
Piety is not measured on a sliding scale with how out of whack your cosmology is from reality.
I don't know if you're being facetious or not. There's too many modern geocentrists here to tell sarcasm from seriousness.
Actually, you are the one who continues to 'misconstrues' the words of Hoyle and Einstein. You have effectively proved that you put almost no thought into your statements as a rule.
"Can you not answer these extremely simple questions without sending me to read a pseudoscience site? How can you launch a probe to Jupiter without taking the sun's gravity into account? How?"
Neither I nor the people at these sites ever said anything to give you the idea that you could launch a probe to Jupiter without taking the sun's gravity into account? This tells me that you are either incapable or unwilling of understanding the issue.
"Also, I'm sure you read the final report on the Gravity Probe B that said that frame dragging is plainly visible in the processed data. All those wasted posts from you that tried to use NASA work to back up your 15th century theory. Shameful."
Had you understood what Einstein, Hoyly, Born and Ellis actually said, you would have been embarrassed at your statement above. They said that geocentrism was completely consistent w/ GR. So, your claim that Gravity Probe B found 'frame dragging' consistent w/ GR is simply irrelevant.
You inability to understand the issue is what is shameful.
Geocentric Christians?
/roll eyes
Why do evos have to make up so many different varieties of Christians? It wouldn't happen to be because that is the only way to make Christians and creationists look like kooks so that the only alternative for an explanation of how we got here is the ToE and people have no choice but to accept it?
Are evos so desperate to to get people to believe the TOE that they will resort to making people disbelieve creation by presenting it as whacked out fringe movement? Is the ToE so weak in what it has to support it that that is evos only option?
I don't know if you've been paying attention, but there are several Geocentrists posting on this thread right now, and they don't see themselves as kooks.
Do you think they are kooks? It is the obvious implication that I am trying to make all Creationist look like kooks by bringing up the reality of Creationists who are Geocentricists, posting right here on FR.
I am not the one trying to say who is a Christian and who is just “claiming” to be a Christian, that would be YOU. The direct implication being that the majority of Christian denominations that have no problem with the findings of science are somehow less Christian or a different Christian than you.
Way to point out just what a whacked out fringe movement Creationism is; by saying anyone who accepts science is only “claiming” to be Christian.
Obviously ypou know nothing of the practical world.
You could start with reading the manual that came with your GPS trailmate, but why read anything when you already know it all.
I think he was talking about FR Darwinians.
You're like talking to a child.
By the looks of this thread your circus needs to fold up it’s tent and hit the road.
DC?
Seems more your speed.
You want me off this thread really bad, eh?
If the Bible means 1,000 years (or 1 million, or 1000 million or 1 billion) when it says “day” in Genesis, why does it say there was a morning and an evening? Example: “ God called the expanse ‘sky.’ And there was evening, and there was morningthe second day.”—Genesis 1:8
And when you say you take God at His word, does that mean you believe that plants appeared on the Earth before there was a sun? At least (according to your measurement of a “day” to God) 1,000 years before there was a sun? Do you also believe that birds appeared before land animals? (Genesis 1:11-25) Unless I miss my guess, that cosmology would be waaaayyyy out of whack.
Several years ago you claimed that the Gravity Probe B was evidence for a geocentric solar system based on the fact that no frame dragging was found. You were proven wrong.
Geocentrists are one level above the Flat Earth Society and just below Scientology.
The ridiculousness of your claims make some anti-evolutionist folks even doubt your existence; they claim pro-Darwin folks made you up to make them look bad! See post 54.
You’re not even good comic relief anymore.
I’m waiting to see if you ever answer anyone with anything but an ignorant strawman.
