Evidence for God from Science

What I find troubling, from a literalist/YEC point of view is not ONLY that the science pointing to an ancient earth and universe, but that across so many different scientific disciplines, so many complex studies, and a literal mountain of data, ARE IN AGREEMENT! I can see that we might not be able ...

Guys, you haven't negated Jac's argument. He has made a very good defense of his argument. I haven't seen a real challenge to it thus far. THE problem is NOT Jac's argument - it's his totally unnecessary and provocative, insulting, arrogant and prideful accusation that other Christians (who he KNOW...

Interesting opinion article by conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer on Trump:

I agree, as I've stated above, that I believe the color of a person's skin doesn't matter to most voters. I think the past two elections refute this generalization. Of course, it also breaks down along party identification. But there is also a significant percentage of people that are highly biased...

Jac: Feel free to downplay the problem, Phil. Seems like a typical response from you and a couple of others. If it lets you continue comfortably in your cognitive dissonance, that's your issue. I've no interest in such cold comforts. I'm more interested in facing the truth as squarely as I'm capabl...

Jac: Or, perhaps the Bible is just wrong. Inerrancy, then, is a false doctrine that Christians ought not hold to. Or, RATHER, inerrancy as JAC defines it - or at least how he SEES it! :lol: :shock: And then I must believe in a false doctrine???!!! I believe in inerrancy. I just don't believe THAT m...

Again, God did not instruct Israel to accept just anyone with any beliefs or practices to come in their midst. Much the opposite. But we're to believe we should take massive risks with policies. That's not the example we have in Scripture. But we DO have an example of how to deal with those already ...

Philip wrote: But that's not how God typically works. Jac: Stop right there. Nothing afterwards matters. I agree there is NO "typical" with God, except that we can see over the history of Scripture how He has mostly worked in time and through natural processes. I also agree that does not ...

OK, for sake of argument: Adam had no wrinkles, no belly button, but he was an adult - that absent age indicators of physical decay, wounds, etc., he would otherwise have appeared as a man with a infancy and childhood that led to his appearance of his first day. The wine in Cana - same deal, it no d...

Rick: My father's drinking had that much of an influence on me, that I just don't want to take any chances. Very wise, Rick. And I don't blame you! It isn't a thing to take lightly. I think about it a lot with two young boys coming along. All I know is that I am grateful that my father did not drin...

So many people can't seem to distinguish the difference between being upset at or criticizing the actions and words of people with a certain racial background and merely being upset with them ONLY due to their race. The first is holding people, WHATEVER their race, accountable for what they do and s...

Completely absurd is the contention that God ordained only FRESH wine - that goes against commons sense, history and knowledge of ancient practices. So, Jesus didn't' approve of wine but chooses that beverage for His first miracle? And is it not this very same beverage in which Scripture indicates p...

I still contend that if a wine expert could examine that wine, there'd be no evidence that the wine was old. Only that it was wine. I say it would be indistinguishable - else the miracle wouldn't be quite the miracle one might think. Could not God make it indistinguishable? But again, we're told it...

Since no one knows What affect alcohol / drugs will have on a person -- it's Better to leave it alone in the 1st place. What would Jesus do? Or what has he already DONE? Was His example one of being a teetotaler? y:-? Did many in ancient Israel not also get hammered silly? Did that stop Jesus from ...
