    Is It Even Possible to Reconcile God with Evolution?

    I agree with some of the article, the first two numbered points. Though I believe evolution to be nothing more than a failed metaphysical experiment that started out in Greek philosophy thousands of years ago by Philosophers like The Epicureans and Stoics, Anaximander, Anaxagoras, Empedocles and...

    Science: The Alternative Utopian Ideal

    You are simply dismissing the Bible while overestimating science. There are two problems with that. First it causes you to overestimate science and secondly it causes you to underestimate the Bible. That was the sort of thing I was pointing out in the OP. When science thought the earth was...

    Science: The Alternative Utopian Ideal

    Science is a word that is bandied about in these debates in a manner which isn't very conducive to meaningful scientific inquiry, which often reflects poorly on both sides of the issue. I've always thought that unfortunate. Meanwhile, real science goes on, fortunately, oblivious to the...

    Genesis 2

    I think you are casting pearls before the aptly titled outhouse.

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    I don't know about that. It's more about human imperfection and bias being a common human reaction. It doesn't matter if it is science, religion, fashion, art, music, politics, entertainment, sports etc. Look at some of the people on forums like this frothing at the mouth because someone dares...

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    We are at a point in time where we just stepped off of the train of the theological onto the plain of the scientific. Not so long ago our children were force fed religious propaganda, and now they are being force fed the propaganda of science. Science is in it's youth, evolution is a...

    Question about the Rapture.

    The rapture is a fairly young doctrine, only about 200 years old and not very well known outside of the U.S. The Bible doesn't teach a rapture. The Bible specifically says that flesh and blood can't enter heaven and that heaven was made for God and the spirit creatures, while Earth was made for...

    Genesis 2

    Good for you in reading the Bible and taking the time to think about it, and question it. That is a good thing! (1 John 4:1 / Acts 17:11) The tree of the knowledge of good and bad is often misunderstood. It was, put simply, a reminder to man that, although the Earth was given to them, they...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    When, as an unbeliever of 27 years who had picked up a Bible for the first time to debunk Christianity, I eventually came to the point where I made the conscious decision that I believed the Body of work to be what it claimed to be. The word of our creator, Jehovah God. In doing so I had to...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    That's disgusting. Wow. I've never heard any of that before. Thanks.

    Can a literal Genesis creation story really hold up?

    According to Gesenius’s Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament Scriptures, translated by Samuel P. Tregelles, 1901, p. 263 and A Concordance of the Hebrew and Chaldee Scriptures, by B. Davidson. Isaiah 40:22 has God above the circle of the Earth so you have to take into account that...

    Can a literal Genesis creation story really hold up?

    Am I to understand that you are a representative of this "real history?"

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Hmm. By our modern day standards an arrangement like that of Joseph (30+ years old) and Mary's (14 or 15 years old) would have been pedophilia, but Mary was sexually mature. While I don't have any doubt that there were, again, by our standards, sexual deviant behavior throughout the history of...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Apologies, I should have clarified that from the start. I have no problem with homosexuality in that accept what I am. I have no self loathing due to my sexual preference, which I can't do anything about. I often get attacked by advocates of homosexuality, claiming am a coward full of self...

    I will ask you again to kindly support your assertions.

    Can a literal Genesis creation story really hold up?

    It seems as if you are only protesting something you disagree with, but your criticism is vague, perhaps if you could be more specific?

    Can a literal Genesis creation story really hold up?

    I didn't make that claim, quite the contrary. The Hebrew has two states, the perfect and the imperfect. When the perfect is used it signifies completion. The Hebrew word bara, "created" in Genesis 1:1 is perfect, which means at that point the heavens, including the sun, moon and stars, and the...

    Thank you, and peace be on you as well.

    Can a literal Genesis creation story really hold up?

    I think you grossly overestimate the significance of secular history with it's own inaccuracies, methodology, mythology and biased propaganda. Secular histories don't even compare to the integrity of the Bible. Even the so called 'father of science' Sir Isaac Newton who was also the leading...

    Can a literal Genesis creation story really hold up?

    What I'm hearing from you so far is a profoundly biased and uninformed opinion. Conjectural and unsupported. Perhaps you could back your position up with facts?
