You have to prove biblical creation as being most likely. I've asked repeatedly for evidence accepted by mainstream science which would serve as evidence for biblical creation.<br /><br />You have yet to produce any of it. The only reason I can come up with is that there is none. I looked myself. I googled "evidence for biblical creationism accepted by mainstream science" and got nothing but creationism sites.<br /><br />And ones I looked at like answers in Genesis just gave interesting facts on several animals, which I could find in any book about animals, and said therefore god did it by magic and therefore Christianity, as we believe it, is true.<br /><br />Biblical creationism is a religious belief. Once it is moved into the realm of empirical fact, it is subject to empirical scrutiny. Its OK as long as its a faith based claim.fmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759116863929766807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-83612859666376763472015-02-20T22:14:15.469-06:002015-02-20T22:14:15.469-06:00I'm not confused about it but, I can't get...I'm not confused about it but, I can't get, that because one doesn't understand what theism and Christianity in particular teaches or embraces, that it is wrong or false.

I will ignore any evidence, scientific or otherwise, which contradicts a literal reading of the word of Lord Brahma.<br /><br />3. The only reason science doesn't acknowledge the supernatural is because they are in an active conspiracy to deny the power of Lord Brahma and the Hindu scriptures. After all, how can you look at a sunset, a kitten or the human body and not think "Wow, this all must have been designed by a creator. Therefore Hinduism is true."<br /><br />4. Something can't come from nothing like that crazy physicist in that video says. That's stupid. Therefore Lord Brahma did it by magic (or his omnipotent power).<br /><br />5. Evolution. Who needs it? My granddaddy wasn't no monkey! Evolution is a hoax so that we won't acknowledge the one true god, Lord Brahma and to keep this country from being a nation of devout hindus.<br /><br />6. Neuroscience can't explain consciousness, and even if they could, if they didn't agree with me that consciousness is caused by a soul that will be reincarnated until it reunites with it's Source, then I will just ignore and dismiss any evidence to the contrary. They must specifically arrive at the Hindu explanation for consciousness in order for me to even consider it to be valid.fmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759116863929766807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-68327192302308110912015-02-20T00:36:57.618-06:002015-02-20T00:36:57.618-06:00I never said I did.

Because if we don't know something, then it must've been Brahma. It says so (or something like that) in the Vedas.<br /><br />We all know those crazy science people just want to deny the supernatural power of Brahma with all their theories and stuff. We can't explain consciousness, existence, biogenesis, first principles, what started natural laws, the beginning principle of the universe and cosmos, the anthropic principle or why anything exists at all.<br /><br />So since we can't that therefore means that Lord Brahma is the one true god and that the version of Hinduism that I believe in is therefore the one true faith and the Vedas is inerrant and true in every way and I will ignore any evidence that may tell me anything contrary.fmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759116863929766807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-42240378214471561042015-02-19T19:12:45.289-06:002015-02-19T19:12:45.289-06:00And YOU sir have NO evidence for consciousness, ex...And YOU sir have NO evidence for consciousness, existence, biogenesis, first principles, what started natural laws, the beginning principle of the universe and cosmos, the anthropic principle or even why ANYTHING exists at all if all physics is deterministic...<br /><br />I thought so!!!!District Supt.

I am not under any obligation to go back and forth answering every question that I am asked. What those of us that are faithful to the bible are required to do is account for the hope that is within us:<br /><br /><b>1 Peter 3:15</b> ~ <i>But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:</i><br /><br />I have accounted for that belief and faith which comes from sound and irrefutable evidence. That evidence is rooted in reality. The reality of what we find in the world. The reality that says, if god did something then we can find the evidence. And alas, we FIND that evidence in the smallest and most minute bits of scientific study that identifies mass amounts of information necessary for life to begin. That information just did not arise on its own. that information was given, delivered, coded. It is a language that we only apprehend. Methodoligical naturalism has no method or way of accounting for any of this. But the bible has long had the answer and delivered it thousands of years ago in the New Testament saying :"In the beginning was the WORD" (John 1:1a) That WORD is a Greek word called "Logos" from which we get logic or order. The first principle of all things. the bible says that "WORD was God" (John 1:1b) and that "WORD became flesh" (John 1:14) <br /><br />The one thing that every historian admits is that their limitation IS history itself and the sources that spring from history. Ham points this out various times during the debate. Nye has no regard for the record of history that is not in support of his position. What we have is a source that is not just a story, but it is a history of a people. We read it as if it is just a story. I believe that is anti-semitic at its root, but that's what the critic does, has no regard for the people or their history. We would be totally offended as Americans if someone read the Declaration Of Independence or the Constitution 500 to 1000 years from now and said, those are just mythical ideals or pies in the sky. To make such a reconciliation of our very history is a slap in the face. Yet that is the metaphysical naturalist as he does historical studies...first he does not know what historical studies require and secondly he thinks all history is the same or can be perceived the same. <br /><br />I think I will write a book on this. This is too much good information to be delivered for free....<br /><br />Anyway, Go to the site: https://answersingenesis.org/countering-the-culture/bill-nye-debates-ken-ham/ <br /><br />As the video plays underneath it are links that address ALL of the question you pose as they come into the questions. If Nye is your blueprint for evolution and to verify your belief, you are in TROUBLE. Aside from his admissions that science could not and does not know how to account for consciousness (which it does not), he can't even get metaphysical naturalism out of the barn to even start the universe, let alone biological life.

One can tell what one worships when the stone is thrown to hew down the idol. the idol of materialism has been exposed as a shoddy piece of rubble designed to make men feel better about themselves. in itself there's nothing wrong with seeking to feel good about one's self. However, its another thing to live in a self delusional state. This is the problem with materialism and all the underpinnings and trappings of methodological naturalism. The belief that there is no ultimate or transcendent meaning or purpose to life. <br /><br />First that is a mind boggling and horrible mental state to embrace, but If that is so, then there is also no reconciliation or justice at all. The actions of Hitler stand shoulder with the actions of the most virtuous person that ever lived (let's say Jesus, as I believe that) if metaphysical naturalism is true. Stahlin, after having killed all that he killed and Pol Pot after having killed over 1/3rd of Cambodians, actions are ALL morally equal. <br /><br />Who can hold them accountable if metaphysical naturalism is true? In fact, they are JUSTIFIED for their atrocities if scientism is correct that God does not exist or is not a possibility. District Supt.

How was the wood treated and cured and kept from rotting, as it took 100 years to build?<br /><br />2. How did the animals know to trek to the ark?<br /><br />3. How did they get to the ark I.e. how did a jaguar from the Americas get to the middle East or a kangaroo from Australia?<br /><br />4. How did 8 people care for the animals and find time for anything else? Since creationist count "kinds" (which science doesn't recognize) then the estimate is 16000 animals on board. The Detroit zoo has far less than that and needs a full time staff to care for those animals.<br /><br />4. How was food stored and how did Noah determine the diet for the animals, some like koala bears eat only eucalyptus leaves found only in Australia? How did he get enough meat for the carnivores and keep it fresh?<br /><br />5. How was the tons of animal waste no doubt produced by thousands of animal's disposed of everyday. If 8 people took 5 minutes to clean a cage, that's 480 cages a hour that's 11520 cages in a 24 hr period. This assumes they take no break or stop to do anything else. Further still, how would they even begin to move thousands of pounds of urine and feces?<br /><br />6. In a closed environment like the ark, how did they keep disease from breaking out like wildfire?<br /><br />7. After the flood, what did the carnivores eat? If a jaguar killed and ate a deer, there goes the deer? Did carnivores forgo eating until their prey get to sufficient numbers?<br /><br />8. How did Noah live 600 years?<br /><br />9. With so much inbreeding, how did post flood survivors, human and animal, manage to produce healthy offspring? There's a reason incest is to be avoided?<br /><br />10. Why is it that civilizations that were around during Noah's flood seem to continue uninterrupted? If there was a flood like that, we'd expect that all civilizations of that period simultaneously disappear and then pick up at least hundreds of years post flood. Also all artifacts would be destroyed by a flood so no artifacts should pre date Noah's flood?<br /><br />I hope you can clear up these concerns.<br /><br />fmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759116863929766807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-55180346905876791622015-02-18T13:14:22.688-06:002015-02-18T13:14:22.688-06:00I would love to see your face if the entire scient...I would love to see your face if the entire scientific community said tomorrow that the theory of evolution is false, the big bang theory is false and that science has known all along the supernatural was responsible.

Many secular evolutionists, because they are sinners like you, LIE readily to try to convince folk that they are right. Like the facebook site, Evolution Is A Lie states, some even try to pretend to be Christians:<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/EvolutionIsALie/posts/542044169232050?reply_comment_id=542582009178266&total_comments=1<br /><br />Another site, Evolution The Lie, documents many if not all the various lies that evolution and evolutionary scientists have posed over the years to trick and seduce the masses. It even touches on cosmology and why the cosmological lies that maetaphysical naturalists pose simply can't be true. <br /><br />https://evolutionthelie.com/Public/Home.aspx<br /><br />Evolution news even exposes the LIE of Darwinian evolution further:<br /><br />http://www.evolutionnews.org/2014/07/national_academ_1088331.html<br /><br />Man you have to be a rank heretic to accept this mess as the methodological naturalists lay it down hook line and sinker like FM. The more he posts and the more I research, the more sorry I feel for ANYONE who has built their life and understanding on that garbage.<br />District Supt.
