[_ Old Earth _] Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Plain truth The plain truth is that the zygotes will be destroyed if not used for research. The restriction on their use was one, of many, stupid policies of George W. Bush. Fortunately, we have a more intelligent occupant in the White House and a sensible policy reversal.- Physicist

What 1 Tim 1:4 is really saying ???
Its men, not God, that assembled the Bible(s). After all, the Catholic, Coptic, and Protestant versions are different so how does one determine what is exactly God's word and what is not? Learned scholars, mostly Christian, have concluded that the Pastorals were unlikely to have been written by... -
What 1 Tim 1:4 is really saying ???
Based upon what? That it makes you feel good? The Book of Mormon probably makes Mormons feel nice as well but would you use that as a truth standard? Doesn't objective evidence mean anything here? The experts that I referred to in my earlier post are by-and-large Christian but they maintain... -

Gospel of Thomas
The version of the Thomas gospel that we have is quite Gnostic. The Gnostics were a competing Christian sect to the proto-Catholics. The latter won the battle when Constantine supported them with the power of Rome. Early fragments of the Thomas gospel suggest a less Gnostic slant in the... -
What 1 Tim 1:4 is really saying ???
But, according to most experts, 1 Timothy and the other pastorals were not written by Paul. Why should we accept these pseudo-graphical texts as canonical? -
The flood.
I guess the son had to make the video because the father Hovind is still in jail for tax evasion. Of course, the video is childish nonsense, It is not the 'skeptics' that say there was no universal flood a few thousand years ago, it is the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community... -
The flood.
WIth all due respect, the above statement sounds like something I would read on the Landover Baptist forum, and that site is a parody. We do not have the original manuscripts, and the texts that we have were selected and classified as canonical by men not God. As I pointed out earlier, we don't... -
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
List them all If you wish to have a serious discussion of the OT ten commandments, I think it is important to note that there are more then ten and that the listings are not consistent in all the books of the OT. For example, I do not see the Exodus 35:25-26 commandments included in the... -

I suggest a separate thread to discuss the Matthew virgin birth account. We are getting pretty far afield from the OP. Regards, Physicist -
The flood.
Land plants have evolved an energy absorption spectrum that encompasses the visible range. This makes sense because that is the peak energy band in solar radiation and is little absorbed by the atmosphere on a clear day. Rainbows are caused by diffraction of visible light by water droplets. To... -
Does Athiesm have valid claims? Please advise
I agree. But wouldn't the result be closer to Deism than traditional Christianity? -
The flood.
Pardon me if I misunderstood your earlier statement. I thought you claimed that the reason rainbows had rarely occurred prior to the Flood was because of the canopy. Since rainbows are a phenomenon of the visible light spectrum, this would imply absorption of visible light by the canopy... -
Is the Bible God's word?
Re: apples and oranges W. Sibley Towner writes: "Daniel is one of the few OT books that can be given a fairly firm date. In the form in which we have it (perhaps without the additions of 12:11, 12), the book must have been given its final form some time in the years 167-164 B.C. This dating is... -
The flood.
Pardon me for sometimes sounding too dismissive. This is not the only forum where I have to explain why the Flood tale is mythological and I sometimes commit the mistake I used to do occasionally when teaching the same science course. I would give short answers in the second lecture because I... -
The flood.
I certainly do not mean to dismiss the power of myth ( a traditional cultural defining tale, involving gods and/or heroes with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation). In fact, I think myths are essential to define a society. America has its myths from George... -
Does Athiesm have valid claims? Please advise
While I don't wish to be critical, the above statement shows lack of understanding of modern biology. The argument from ignorance ("I don't understand it. Therefore it is wrong.") is a fallacious argument. Cells don't 'decide' anything. Evolution, i.e., e change in a population's inherited... -
Is the Bible God's word?
apples and oranges You are comparing apples and oranges here. Historians have every good reason to believe that there was an Alexander the Great. We have writings of his contemporaries, archeological finds of cities he destroyed and cities he built, coins minted while he ruled, and a host of... -
The flood.
The Universal Flood only happened as a mythological tale. Such tales were common in ancient times and enrich our understanding of earlier civilizations. However, there was no real Hercules, Noah, or Beowolf. These are just tall tales told around the campfire, like more recent stories of Pecos... -
Does Athiesm have valid claims? Please advise
Science operates on skepticism, not faith. Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection to explain the observed phenomena of species evolution does not rest on blind belief. Rather, better than a century of careful scientific observation supports its predictions. The Resurrection, on the other hand...
