I stopped being angry here some time ago--not worth the effort. You think Kepler, Newton and Pascal would have the same thoughts today? They would ignore the scientific advances since their time and stick with the Bible? I suspect not if they were as smart as they seem to have been. Your...

your statements are both wrong. I responded to the post and I am pretty certain you are well aware of the evidence of the age of the earth, you choose not to accept it because it conflicts with your theology

Wrong and wrong

You've proven atheism is false because John 1:1? Perhaps your biased nonsense is showing. And now Christianity is responsible for all things that make my life comfortable. Petroleum makes my life comfortable--heating, cooling, mobility, it was created millions of years ago by the remains of...

No, I made it clear that I reject his presupposition of the existence of God. His claim that the Christian presupposition of the existence of God is not arbitrary is simply incorrect. Basing that presupposition on a declaration in the Bible is no different than basing one's life on the...

Are you suggesting you personally clarify the independent basis by which facts are established? Do you accept the fact of plate tectonics? If so, how did you determine the underlying facts that support that theory?

Interesting list. Wonder how mine would be different? I have read 18 on that list. I think I will look for Penrose—The Road to Reality

Hard to beat your logic

Hunh, no, I don't make the Ayn Rand mistake because I am aware there are many flavors of Christianity and many interpretations of the Bible and other Holy Books. Which raises the question of why whatever god exists cannot or will not make things plain and understandable The fact that I can read...

Wow!!

Perhaps I do.
