I've been following to some extent these many design discussions. Quite frankly, I don't feel the issue raised is being dealt with. Both sides seem focused on two entirely different topics. Kmart appears more focused on "irreducible complexity," which is the topic I believe this all begun ...

Don't you mean... "and another religion begins" (or at least decides to take some organised political action instead of "begins"). One just needs to look to France to see that secularism can be as "rigid" and as "imposing" as any religion.

Well Christ taught the Apostles, who during their lifetime passed on teachings regarding Christ. This what I meant by the Apostolic tradition. Although you are right, it is different to the human Christian tradition(s) that developed as time went on, which always need to be realigned with the Apostl...

Let me know where to cut if from... that's the hardest part to decide.

But I pose this question. Did Jesus need faith in Jesus in order to do works, and be saved? I think bizzt is fairly correct in pointing out this to be illogical question like the rock question. For if to be saved is to be with God despite our having committed sin, and Jesus is God, then essentially...

Traditions are man-made. Truth is above that and does not shackle itself to man-made traditions. I could make a tradition out of anything in the name of God and say that because it's been a tradition so long it is truth. *Shudder* I use to detest tradition too, until I realised that NT Scripture wa...

I personally don't see an adequate comparison. With diamonds, you can take out a carbon atom and a diamond will still work (i.e., still be a diamond)—although I don't see this as the only defining feature of "irreducible complexity". The diamond, although complex, isn't "irreducibly&q...

Thanks Christian2. I always enjoy reading your insights on Islam. I think this just goes to show we need to judge each Muslim individually rather than boxing them all in the same box. As there are many shades of Christians, each with varying beliefs surrounding certain theological or Christian words...

I though others here might like to play a game that has in it all the usual silly misinformed things people say about ID. Brian, you might like a go to relieve some stress?

Wouldn't that be better than spend an eternity in the spiritual realm of hate, crackling, bubbling flesh and bone under the most unimaginable extreme pain and fire of destruction for eternity? It is your choice, I would say it isn't hard to at least give it a try. Ask Jesus into your life. But it's...

Mainstream orthodox Christianity regards SDA and JW as cults, or abberrant Christianity... cerrtainly not true Bible-based Christianity at all. I'd really only say JWs are aberrant in their Christianity, since they deny Christ's divinity. SDA's on the otherhand I'd consider apart of mainstream Chri...

Welcome Blob. Maybe some of the people you are writing this for will lighten up a little now they understand a bit more about your desire to be here? ;) Many will usually come to this board like any other geared up for an intellectual fight over beliefs. This is something we try to regulate since su...

The picture says it all Jihad means a struggle, usually with sin, or inner perfection. This image is misinformed and you are spreading misinformation and hate. I'm not sure if KMart is misinformed, although whether the image is tactful is another question. I think one is entitled to call a duck a d...
