I don't have a problem with the evidence. I may have a problem with the dating of the evidence, depending on who you ask. AND, I am not an expert. I only remember this from past "study" meaning observing online discourse on the matter, for which I have no links.Yup, a test for the real “money” is the fossil record, untainted by the corruption of man. Then we compare that to the claims made in a religious creation account passed down millennia ago from a scientifically illiterate nomadic society. That account was as good as the contemporary creation myths, but as Paul says in the New Testament, it is now time to put away childish things. I side with evidence that is agreed on by scientists (many Christian) from all over the word, but you prefer a literalist reading of an ancient myth of uncertain origin that only your own narrow clan of fundamentalists think is absolute truth.
Why on earth is accepting the record we see in the rocks a bad thing? It just means you might have to admit that the creation account in Genesis is not a literal history.
I have already made it clear, I am not a fan of used-car salesman type tactics. If you want me to ignore the very first pages of “God’s Word” and jump to the end, then let’s quit the pretense and rip Genesis out of the Bible. You OK with that?
In this matter, dating is part of the evidence.I don't have a problem with the evidence. I may have a problem with the dating of the evidence ...
I intend to remain as I am until it actually happens thanks mARK (oops). Whatever "it" is.Right, but you can Also see my Point, of How, "If Zeus did Return From Mount Olympus, You would Freak out Seeing Him Arrive".
You will also Fear God, in a Like Way when He Returns. It's not a Threat, like the Evols from my Editions of, "Those Funny things you Atheists Say", If you feel threatened by something, you have to believe in it, My Point is, when you finally do see, and Believe, You will Be Full Of Fear.
Fear Will Abound, Even the Rocks will Scream Out. LOL!!!!

Your caps key has a strange malady of turning on for just the first letter of lots of the ordinary words in your sentences.

I Fear God, and Follow His Commandments, but Even I will Probably be in Fear, when He Arrives with Jesus, in All His Glory.
I don't fear your God because I genuinely don't believe that your God exists.You don't Fear God, because you don't Understand Him.
I Fear God, and Follow His Commandments, but Even I will Probably be in Fear, when He Arrives with Jesus, in All His Glory.
And when that happens, we try to identify what caused the discrepancy. The end result is an improvement in the dating method that makes it even more reliable and robust.The Dating Methods are Obviously in Error, if they are Wrong when they Date things with Known Age.

Strange. Instead of looking forward with joy to Jesus coming, that is something you are fearful about?Even I will Probably be in Fear, when He Arrives with Jesus, in All His Glory.
Christians apparently fear God but love Jesus, while the Holy Ghost never seems to get anything much? :think:Strange. Instead of looking forward with joy to Jesus coming, that is something you are fearful about?

Well I certainly could not punish these people simply because I had inept salespeople like you guys.
Evolution is only about change and adaption to the environment, there is no apparent goal or destiny. What works in one environment might well be a liability in another, so comparing one extant species against another is pointless since all are the result of evolution and natural selection.
Cave crabs for example no longer have eyes but have so far retained eyestalks, eyes serve no purpose in the dark, perhaps eyestalks will evolve away too? It's simply adaption to the environment not a progression toward a supposed ideal.
Not if it is incorrect.In this matter, dating is part of the evidence.

What seems odd to me is that people like Untellectual, Mark IsHigh, and others like seem to think they are doing a smash up job selling their specific theology. When in reality their ineptitude makes potential customers back away very slowly without any regret that they might be missing something.
I am imagining a time in the future when they are standing in front of God, while looking a bit confused and amazed at all the agnostics/atheists in heaven. God says;
:rotfl:
At any rate, they will tell you the Holy Ghost is there to cover for their ineptitude.
I don't fear your God because I genuinely don't believe that your God exists.
(I'm not aware of any threats from any real god out there.)
What is not the same as sharing the gospel with those who have yet to believe?At any rate, they will tell you the Holy Ghost is there to cover for their ineptitude.
Dear Alwight,
It would not surprise me if God made the cave crabs without eyes because they are cave crabs. Who is to say if they EVER had eyes??
Cheerio,
Michael
