Re: Challenge: Make Your Case for Creationism

Well, Audacity, per the theist focus of this forum, why do you care about evolution? As well, your question asked for "a case for creationism" - which obviously did not start with evolution, and which would have required things far more impossible, certainly without a first Cause for the m...

Re: Challenge: Make Your Case for Creationism

Want to talk about the geological evolution of the earth, or the evolution of the universe, or something else, then I'm not interested. So, how does gap creationism go about establishing its claim that all the species we have on earth were put here individually by god? Of COURSE people want to only...

Re: Both neanderthals and humans mated with each other.What does your creation interpretation say?

Audie: Either theist OR irrational OK, Audie - let's move beyond our mutually, perhaps misperceived definitions. You are not some enemy, btw. But what I mean by irrational is to believe that what exists does not require a prior source of immense intelligence, power and purpose - or that it, in ANY ...

Re: Brussels Airport Bombing

The saddest thing is, no one can undo what has been done. Neo, this I totally agree with! Which is why I think we must deal with the present reality. Yes, let's also learn from the past, but also face the present reality. Are there some practices we need to change - I agree there are. But this proa...

Re: Both neanderthals and humans mated with each other.What does your creation interpretation say?

Audie: I have never said "non-binary thinking". Your own words: "Among my observations concerning religious folks is that they are so often absolutist, binary thinkers . Either black or white, no shades of grey. No third, 4th, 5th possibilities. Straight either / or." Audie, you...

Re: Brussels Airport Bombing

And how did these countries composed of opposed tribal factions come to exist? For our purposes, now, today, this is irrelevant. As we must deal with the present. All this hand-wringing over what we've done wrong, shouldn't have done, should have done differently, what we can do better - these will...

Re: Brussels Airport Bombing

You can't destabilize two countries and then hope there will be no repercussions. This is true - especially when they are full of murderous tribal-like factions that have such evil, theologically inspired/politically manipulated beliefs and agendas. And they were only stable because of some strongm...

Re: Challenge: Make Your Case for Creationism

Secretly, Rick is a liberal democrat who just happens to believe in Creation. :D As progressive as he is.

:shock: Oops, I see my bio still lists "progressive rock" as one of my musical interests? Gotta edit that! :roll:

Audie: Sorry Phil, but I just didnt read it all. I see the word "metaphysics" scattered all thru, and you made a bad start with three major fails in the first sentence. Sorry, Audie - instead of metaphysics, I guess you prefer the words "non-binary thinking" - although you have ...

Re: Both neanderthals and humans mated with each other.What does your creation interpretation say?

there is science for the big bang, tho its not a topic that much interests me. Yeah, I can see why it doesn't interest you, as it cannot be scientifically explained - which would be too much of a binary type of thinking. You'd rather ignore that all of your talk about random things without an intel...

Re: Brussels Airport Bombing

Blaming all of Islam for the actions of ISIS is stupid, Of course - it is but one evil before us. But it is an exceptionally connected, prolific and aggressive evil that will not stop by itself. It has components that help enable it - politics, weapons, and certainly, factional beliefs based upon I...

Re: Challenge: Make Your Case for Creationism

Who or what would have previously created anything? Well, as much as non-theists love to use the term "Flying Spaghetti Monster" - either or some god or God created all we see - or their beloved FSM MUST actually exist. WHOMEVER created, he's created only one planet (that we know for sure...
