Yes, indeed. Ravens croak. I've often spent some time in graveyards listening to the ravens croak. Wonderful sound. I've also found that ravens can be quite tolerant of humans.
Thanks for that, Nowhere Man. I can see how the faith aspect relates to the psychological well-being of a patient.
As a general, open question: are there any instances where religious belief takes precedence over medical science? Are there any cases where a medical, and religious, doctor will...
My avatar is of a Saami (Lapp) shaman (the 'noaidi') holding a drum in one hand and a beater in the other. I lived in Finland for a few years and got heavily into the idea of Nordic shamanism as a way of connecting with Nature (despite being an atheist). I also play the bodhran, which resembles...

Way too many biblical quotes in your response. What do you think about the situation? Leave the bible on the shelf and give me your response, please.
Did you really expect anything else, evolved yet? The lack of a hypothesis and subsequent supporting evidence says it all.
And these people want it taught in science classes....?! It'll be a pretty thin text book, I think.
If you are involved in the medical profession and are religious, what view takes precedence: do intercessary prayers take priority over established medical science? Which one provides a more effective cure?
Yes, exactly. Just like any scientific theory, it evolves. Science prides itself in rejecting outmoded or flat outright wrong ideas. If it didn't, we would have all manner of junk to contend with. Being only humans, we are constrained by what we can currently discern. As we progress in terms of...
All very well and good, but my question was how can your god punish innocents? I'm talking about current innocents - what did they do to deserve 'punishment' by malaria, diarrhoea and innumerable other causes? All because someone ate some fruit that they weren't supposed to? A bit extreme, don't...
I take it you are going to refer to the sequence of fossilisation. If so, why don't we see humans with some of the slower animals in the fossil sequence? Humans, as animals, are not renowned for their speed, so if they were trying to out-run rising floodwater, why don't we find human corpses...
The problem is not with the freshwater fish. The deluge of rainwater from the sky would have diluted the salinity of the seas significantly (don't forget - the water rose to cover "the highest mountain tops", thus Everest would have been covered. Quite a rainstorm occurred, apparently). I think...
Okay, so using your quote above, let's examine the evidence. There is a mountain of evidence for the ToE so let's now look at the evidence for creationism.
BTW is anyone else getting fed up asking for this?!
