If they are accurate they do...

No. They serve to illustrate a point. Analogies are not evidence.

Question: What do you call a man that beleives in God?

 

[keebs]

I usually just refer to them as creationists...although I know that excludes agnostics and such.

So, beleiving in God implies He created the universe?

Why not maybe.....theist, instead of creationist?

Nope, that's why I said "...although I know that excludes agnostics and such."

Why not maybe.....theist, instead of creationist?

Because my ideas and the ideas of theists who don't believe God molded the universe with his hands are so similar that for most intensive purposes I just consider them the same.

So, if the definition isn't completely accurate, and excludes some, then why hold it. My question was just food for thought, don't think too hard on it...

I'll answer my own question:

Definition of "theist": One that beleives in the existance of God, a god, or god(s).

So, if the definition isn't completely accurate, and excludes some, then why hold it.

Because it refers to the ones I'm usually talking about/with...I don't get into arguments with my ag friends.

 

[Featherbop]

Do you get into any arguements with those who agree with your opinions?

 

[keebs]

No, because then we'd be arguing the same thing...

 

[Featherbop]

Right.
