Oh, and the "darwin-fish" is the chrome plated Christian fish symbol with the legs sticking out and 'darwin' inside it. I agree that "a priori" preconceptions should be left at the door.... we'll discuss evidence and interpretation of the evidence. I have much to add to your reply, and...

I'll come back for even more in depth replies to some detailed replies, lord, but unfortunately don't have the time to do much this evening, but am glad to come on and see your response, and I'm sure it will be nice to discuss items clearly and thoroughly in an intelligent manner. The one...

I don't regard that as a problem, I just point out that there is a presupposition regarding long ages that skews the INTERPRETATION of that evidence into a preconceived box of possible results. Again, a presupposition "earliest known land plants" is based on a preconceived concept of long...

I think that "literal" can be taken too literally.

1. Yes 2. I agree with the above poster that "young" is in the eye of the describer... but based on the subject: "young"

I believe in certain forums you just need to request permission from the moderator, as they're specific topics (such as Science) that do better with a smaller group of posters than a general forum where a chain of discussion can be easily hijacked.

The biggest problem with humanity is all the humans.

Oh, and also, Neanderthals HAVE been classified as homo sapiens now, not a sub-human species. I always found the disconnect between scientific ideals and reality humorous... as did our friend Gary Larson in his cartoon showing a short, fat, balding businessman standing at a bus stop after the...

Many of the "tract" stuff is childish and tailored to a more simple time and uneducated populace. Their attempt was to make as big an impact in as few words as possible. For many people, their eyes glaze over at the mention of anything more complex than the cover story of the National Enquirer...

Grasses supposedly evolved much later than other plants, and even after dinosaurs, although more recent discoveries has shown fossil grass in sauropod dung, causing macro-evolutionists to have to change their timelines again. Just like with animal life, all fossil evidence shows all major groups...

I think there is another option... Neither stupid or lying, it's the point that there ARE contaminants and false reading, and to dismiss them carte blanche is just as disingenuous as dismissing the science as some fundamentalists unfortunately do as well. Your analogy of the watch is a good one...

Well, one thing is for sure, I'm not putting up any Asherah poles! There are many Old Testament laws that were contextual to those times, but the "point" may still be relevant. If we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbor as ourselves... and all...

Hey, my Seminoles just beat the Florida Gators... In Basketball.... I gotta cling to SOME positives in this rivalry! lol... seriously, other than college football bowl games, it's now basketball time for me, although I'm more into college sports than pro.

Did I miss something? I hope there was no spam associated with MY post! :-)
