Re: Science is based on?

KBCid, Several of your recent arguments have been based on an error that I frequently hear from people ho oppose evolutionary theory: "Natural selection is supposed to weed out less-fit traits, so why are we exhibiting these "less-fit" traits?" Evolutionists do not argue that our...

Re: ACTUAL Scriptures or NOT? If not, don't quote them!!

Wait...thee story of the adulterous woman receiving forgiveness is not in the original manuscripts by authors of the New Testament? The story was inserted into the gospel of John from what someone else wrote?

Re: Evidence for ID

Bippy, I think I need more practice with general forum etiquette. I see where my previous post makes a huge leap from lack of evidence for ID to lack of evidence for God, but it was an incomplete (and off topic) explanation of my train of thought. I don't believe that lack of evidence for ID says an...

Advice?

Hello posters, Is there somewhere on this forum where it would be appropriate to ask personal advice from other posters? I know that the discussion board exists so that people can explore Christianity together, but the huge number of insightful and diverse members makes it seem like a great place to...

Re: Evidence for ID

I'm kinda bummed here. I was hoping to see even one paper that provided supporting evidence for ID aside from "we can't explain this yet, so it must be supernatural." I wasn't trying to call you inflexible--I was genuinely disappointed when I tried to imagine what I'd consider legitimate e...

Re: Evidence for ID

Ivellious--what hypothetical evidence would actually convince you that humans are the product of intelligent design? When I tried to answer that question, I really couldn't come up with anything reasonable that would change my mind--I didn't realize that I was really that inflexible. Maybe if you po...

Re: Catholic Communion

Wow, you guys are absolutely right. When I first asked my question I was just thinking about immediately offending members of the congregation, and I almost expected that people would tell me it's not a big deal. I didn't even consider that joining a closed communion was directly expressing a lack o...

Re: Catholic Communion

I have not considered myself a Christian for several years, but I spent over ten years as a devout Protestant, an active member of my church, regular study of the scripture, etc. I life that I loved. Unfortunately, I gradually came to the realization that I only believed in Christ as my savior and t...

Re: Bible infallibility, again...

I started going to church (with my cousins) when I was around 13 or so, and I accepted Christ as an early teen. I was an active member of the church through high school and college, and bible study and prayer were a huge part of my life. It wasn't until after college that I started realizing that th...

Catholic Communion

I recently attended my boyfriend's Godson's first communion--beautiful service! When the priest offered the Eucharist to the congregation, I wasn't sure what I should do. I decided to join and I accepted the gifts. I have no Catholic background, and had no intention of performing a formal confession...

Re: Bible infallibility, again...

I only avoided the word "inerrant" because my spell-check kept rejecting it. :) If there is confusion, I guess I'm really asking about the words that the authors of the Bible say were said by God/Jesus. We dissect these verses with attention to every single letter! I guess I won't gain muc...

Bible infallibility, again...

I have reviewed the majority of previous threads regarding the issue of an infallible Bible, and it looked like most Christians believed pretty strongly that the Bible contains no errors. I am just curious to see where people tend to draw the line in this belief. And if your belief is not accurately...

Re: Evidence for ID

Thanks, Sandy. I agree that the bearded man coming out of the sky sounds creepy, but it could happen and would be pretty convincing! I wasn't clear when I described hypothetical evidence of a new creature that existed independently of genetics. I meant LITERALLY the discovery of life that doesn't ru...
