No it isn't. You said it yourself. Your post is still there for the whole world to read. It is precisely the lack of interpretation that you reject. It is when Christian take the word of God to mean what it says that you cringe. You're confusing evidence for proof and yes, you are taking their...

“We cannot assign any reason for his bestowing mercy on his people, but just as it so pleases him, neither can we have any reason for his reprobating others but his will.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 22, Paragraph 11) Anyone who either rewards or punishes...

The rings of a tree are NOT part of the tree's structure. They are a result of faster growth in summer than in winter. A tree without rings would look like wood looks like today without the stripes. There are trees alive today that have virtually no rings, by the way. Trees that grow in regions...

Fantasy! You should buy an island! There is no reason to believe that the first trees had growth rings. There weren't grown, they were created. Nor is there any real evidence that the Earth is anywhere near as old as main stream geology would like for you to believe. (List of Not So Old...

As predicted, b57 simply ignores the argument and merely restates his doctrine as though it hasn't been refuted. A god that predestines people to an eternal Hell before they've ever done anything to deserve such a fate is unjust, by definition. Calvinism's doctrine is actually even worse than...

Notice the hard bent away from taking God at His word and toward taking Einstein (or any other scientist) at his. No one with any honesty at all denies that dinosaurs existed and I know of no fundamentalist who doesn't recognize the existence of symbolic, allegoric and poetic language...

@beloved57 is the best argument against Calvinism any Christian could ever hope to make. All we really have to do is sit back and let him shoot his mouth off. Not if God is just, it isn't! Now, sit back and watch how b57 ignores that argument. He WILL NOT address it AT ALL or, if he does...

Translation: "...its God alone that makes one to differ, who goes to Hell." Calvinists are literally stupid. They compartmentalize every individual thought in their head! They seem to forget when saying nonsense like what is quoted above that God meticulous control doesn't begin or end with...

I agree that it is a flaw and I believe it is one that can be rectified but even if it weren't or can't be, it would be a far superior system to the tyranny of the loudest minority that we've turned this nation into and that it was always destined, by its very nature, to become. The fact is...

It isn't an absolute monarchy. The king would have no authority to make fiat law as would be the case in an absolute monarchy. What we have today in America, where Presidents can forgive debts at will, persecute political enemies without due process of law and arbitrarily decide whether or not...

This is technically true if you're limiting the use of the term "peer review" to the process that a scientific journal uses when evaluating studies to publish in their journal. To that extent, "peer review" is little more than the review an editorial board of a news paper does before publishing...

The video linked to below doesn't mention evolution but the same dynamic is at play, not only in evolutionary science but in practically all non-commercial (i.e. publicly funded) fields of science (and even in some commercial fields as well, by the way).

Translation: If you're not a Calvinist, you're not saved. No, it doesn't do any such stupid thing. It doesn't do that either! On the contrary. Those who discard Calvinism as the blasphemous heresy that it is know that God dispenses His grace to those who respond to Him in faith because He...

Are you saying that it's somehow worse to point out "Junior College level" fallacies than it is to commit them? :unsure:

Consensus has NOTHING to do with peer review! You have to have known this when you wrote it! Peer review isn't what happens when someone states a personal opinion. Peer review is when a scientist or groups of scientists replicates the work of some other scientist in order to verify what that...

What a laughably ridiculous cop-out. Like I said, the obvious resistance to proceeding down the same logical path is so blatantly obvious that it's surely intentional. Evolutionists refuse to take even one additional step down the very road that they themselves claim as their own intellectual...

It's directly relevant as I made perfectly clear with the last line of my post. Now that's irrelevant! No one would deny a evolutionary relationship between the 1894 Benz VeloT and a brand new Lambroghini Aventador. Nor would anyone deny an evolutionary relationship between Latin and Spanish...

Things garage doors with automatic openers have in common with automobiles... Steel Aluminum Plastic Electric motor(s) Springs Wheels Axles Gears Drive chain (or belt) Buttons Locks Light Paint Windows Various electronics (several of which are IDENTICAL) Instruction manual The suffix "Auto" in...

Are you suggesting that the source is drunk and that the claim being made is the result of some drunken stupor? If not then what's your point? Let me guess, you don't have one. It can be disregarded as scientific. Science DOES NOT work by consensus - period. Science is not an exercise in...

It's much better if you get the audio book! There are two versions of the audio book, you want the older one - for sure! You want the one that is read by Christopher Hurt.
