    I know, the scriptures(psalms in particular) talk about the heavenly spheres. CERTAIN in the church misconstrued this to the attachments, this is not a necessary interpretation of the given scripture. I'm aware of the asteroth worship and other pagan practices. I'm just pointing out that the church(roman) in this case can be wrong without the scriptures also being wrong. Pagan practices and false teaching in the church to not make the Bible wrong, they make the church(organized) wrong, and that is not to say that all organized churches are wrong, only those that teach wrongly.

    Think of it this way: There is a car by the side of the road, it is deserted and there are no tiremarks. We could look at these clues and posit that the car was parked and rain has since washed away the tire tracks. OR... we can claim that random chance brought this car into being based on a bicycle that rolled past.

    If you are convinced of something, you believe it dogmatically, changing the word choice, does not change the reality. When your argument that being atheistic and areligious involves being convinced vice belief, you have reduced yourself to arguing semantics.

  9. Re:BEFORE Arguing with a creationist on The Eye: Evolution versus Creationism · · Score: 1

    Before you go arguing with a evolutionist, ask the evolutionist one thing. Ask him/her, How can I prove to you that creation is correct? Seriously, ask them what exactly it would take for you to prove to them that creation is real. I've gotten answers from "nothing", to a burning bush. No matter what the answer, you'll realize that your attempt is futile. If you start out your argument with this basic question, it'll be over before you start.

    WAILL, IF, scientists successfully create life in a laboratory, have they proven evolution or ID?

    Does it matter which one they are attempting to prove for the proof to be valid. This of course assumes that the scientists creating life in the lab are of course intelligent.

    Darwin's birds?? those were finches right?? And the other species, those were finches too?? they weren't doves, or hawks, or gila monsters?? So finches make finches, just like horses make horses, and a donkey and a zebra are horses too, just because they aren't cross fertile, doesn't mean much, there are human pheno/genotypes that aren't particularly cross-fertile.

    Actually, the vast majority of celestial objects turn out to be precisely spheres, so just because someone in the 1500s misunderstood what spheres(sun, moon, stars, planets, moons) were being talked about, doesn't make the scripture wrong, it merely invalidates the interpretation.

    4 elements and stable earth were Greek mythos, not Jewish.

    YES, the criteria cannot, but if the common ancestor is found within the 4-10k year window instead of the 20-30k window, it lends credibility to the creation viewpoint.

    Further, There is no reliable dating method to determine how old our universe is.

    The apparent size of the universe can be explained by the decaying(apparent we won't know for sure for 50-100 years if it is actually decaying, or the apparent decay was due to measurement difficulties)
    Carbon dating is very nearly useless, providing dates of 5k-120k years for fossils known to have been created in the last 5 years.

    Ocean Salinity indicates an apparent age of 6-25k years
