    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    If you agree that "substance" DOES mean "THING", as I guessed, then, yes. I already know what things are. And yes, I have no reason to disbelieve "science", unless it's BAD science or pseudo-science. I don't believe it's probable that all scientists are liars. I can imagine anything that I...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    So, you translate and comment on your translations. Great. Sounds fascinating. :)

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    I asked you for clarification. I took a wild guess as to your possible meanings. Repeating your question in exactly the same way wont clarify anything. And by the way, I gave you an approximate answer based on my best guesses. I have NOT avoided any "task". I have yet to get an answer as to...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    You aren't a translator, and you don't care about how any of it flows. You pick particular passages and then figure out what it means to you. Ok. Sounds like a lot of fun. :)

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    Of course, I use my imagination. We agree that the imagination is a good thing to use. However, we should be aware that what we can IMAGINE might not be REAL. I have no idea what you precisely MEAN by either term, so my attempt to answer the question will only be approximate. If by "substance"...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    This sounds like a lovely theory. I will take a look at it, thanks. Faith is all there is.. interesting. I suppose it all depends on how we use the term "faith". Perhaps you mean that we can trust trustable things and people. There is no need or reason to trust those who are not trustable and...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    You really want to introduce the epistemic method of faith, don't you? Unfortunately, using your faith in something isn't really going to tell you anything about reality OTHER than what you have faith in. You might have "faith" that someone loves you. Well, whoop dee diddely doo. If all you GOT...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    Yes, and we can pretty much recognize the feelings of others by looking at their physical reactions and their actions.. Hate, anger, sadness, love, and so on are all emotions that we know are real, and that we can observe in others. Ok, you feel or think that God is real just like your...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    What "makes" something real, you ask. The word "real" is used to make a difference between what actually exists as a thing or occurring in fact as opposed to just being imagined or supposed. At least, that's what I would say about the usage of the word "real" in the context of trying to prove...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    We humans also anthropomorphize our concepts. Sometimes, what we think of quickly isn't the best kind of thinking we can do. You say that as if we had evidence for a Spirit or we even know what that is. I do not know what you MEAN by "Spirit", and I have no evidence for any. Does this "Spirit"...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    I said that we do use our imaginations. That's an important agreement between us, I think. But science isn't about belief, so I don't know what you're talking about here. I was asking you about your need to anthropomorphize the god you say you believe in, and specifically, how it can "feel"...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    I totally agree. I need to imagine things. Then I need to check with reality to see if they are real or not, because I can easily fool myself into believing that what I imagine must be real. That could lead to disastrous errors. I very much so try to separate what is merely imaginary from what...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    Oh totally agree. We can imagine all sorts of things.. Ghosts, goblins, demons, gods, boogey-men.... I don't need my eyes to imagine things. So, when you say that we should "visualize" what it is you are talking about ( an anthropomorphic god, in this case ) and not use our EYES, you mean we...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    Can you explain what it means in the English language when someone talks about VISION without sight? Because I use ordinary English. :)

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    Yes, of course, I didn't include animals in order to keep it more simple, by just mentioning the subjects that we are actually discussing, humans. But it's true that animals do feel and "think" in their own ways. We learn more and more about how animals and humans think all the time. Hope that...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    What does this comment have to do with what you were replying to? You said that "you don't need eyes to see you don't need flesh to feel" I was saying that you anthropomorphize your god to have HUMAN characteristics, and then you say that we don't need eyes to see or flesh to feel. Perhaps...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    Of course, that's true. I was being ironic. It seems to me that you would like us to accept your approximate translations instead of all the other Hebrew approximate translators of the Bible. When it comes to approximations, opinions vary. And some of which is LOST to us in translations. Good...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    Oh, sorry, I only read the English translations. I guess the translators don't know the Hebrew too well.

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    Science tells us nothing about something like that. You would have to go to religion for that kind of thing. Humans did invent these laws, as what we call "natural laws" are merely descriptions for how the universe works. Agreed. Although we can't observe all of the universe, we do notice a...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    I think that proves it to me. Genesis doesn't say heaven first then earth. It DOES say earth first then sun.
