You just totally nuked your credibility with that link to that website.

It’s clearly written by someone whose agenda is to discredit any thing the Bible has to say about anything.

That’s as bad as the theocracy links that coyoteman used to post.

The whole business of literal interpretation of the Bible has been explained to you before and you still refuse to get it.

You’re clearly going to believe what you want to believe about creationists and Bible interpretation and obviously nothing anyone can say is going to change your mind.

Uhhhh....no...your smears about educated conservatives.

From the website:

A translation of this article into Hebrew (without the New Testament references) is also available through Hofesh — an organization that combats Orthodox Jewish religious coercion in Israel.

Wow.

And more:

You’d think Ralph Reed and Jerry Falwell would be up in arms over these facts. Massive government bureaucracies send spacecraft to distant planets. The liberal media are awash in images of a spherical earth. (The Universal Studios logo is a globe!) Children in public schools are taught from Kindergarten that the earth revolves around the sun. With the exceptions of the persistent use of the terms “sunrise” and “sunset,” our modern world is flooded with images of heretical cosmologies that remove the earth from its God-given place at the center of all things. Only an atheist would buy the notion that we live on a tiny rock, circling an insignificant star in a galaxy of billions of stars in a universe of billions of galaxies. Why would God place his most holy of all creations in such location? Surely, no true believer in the Scriptures — the divine and unerring word of God — would accept the scientific notion that we live in place that is not special in the eyes of our Creator. I find it quite reasonable to insist on a Constitutional amendment requiring all Supreme Court justices to swear their allegiance to geocentrism and flat-earthism. Our souls and the souls of our children lie in their hands.

Introduction

O.K. You can stop hyperventilating now. The previous paragraphs are an example of a rhetorical device known as hyperbole. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement that is not meant to be taken literally, but is used to emphasize a point. The purpose of this essay is to demolish the notion that the Bible has any scientific relevance whatsoever. In particular, I aim to show that the same thinking that leads devout fundamentalists to deny evolution as atheism must also lead them to embrace geocentrism and flat-earthism as God-given truths.

So why would I do this? What got me started on the road to endless arguments? I work as a teacher in the New York City public school system. From time to time, I’m asked quite poignant and perceptive questions.

************************************************************

Ahhhhh....a secular humanist liberal NYC liberal public school teacher!

Well, we can certainly see where the liberals get their talking points anyway!

Here’s a clue...when you link obvious moonbat links like this...you kinda stick out like a sore thumb!

Are you one of those liberal professor types?

Your bogus link has as much to do with the validity of Creationism as the fact that Raelians and Scientologists believe in evolution has to do with it's validity as a theory.
