    A Challenge for those who believe in a loving God

    That isn't but what I suggested? I pretty much said that there is involvement but not an involvement that is based on morality. By indifferent I mean an involvement that focuses on effect.

    A Challenge for those who believe in a loving God

    I don't think you understand what I mean by indifferent. Or at least your reply doesn't match what I meant by it, but to each their own.

    A Challenge for those who believe in a loving God

    I have wondered that as well, despite the inability to feel pain, does the concept of "fear" exist for the caterpillar? I.e there is something happening that it must get away from or it will die? So even if the caterpillar doesn't know what death is, or what is happening to it, would it...

    Brazil sends 200 troops to control lethal violence sparked by police strike

    I've seen a few of Soviet's posts and I don't know they come off vaguely racist for lack of a better word? Is ethnicists a word? Xenophobic? Attempts at elitism? Either way they (Soviet) shows no regard for the individuals who live in those countries or their struggles, instead demeaning them...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    My understanding is that if you took Africa and looked at top causes of death, the leading causes are TB, LRI (lower respiratory infections), Diarrheal Diseases, HIV/AIDS; these are diseases treated and cured by medication (outside of HIV/AIDS which is treatable). If you broke it by strata...

    Verifiable evidence for creationism?

    Note that the diseases that you list here are quite specifically issues where "first world" countries are impacted. Countries with lesser resources and lower public health capabilities suffer from many diseases/parasites that result in death beyond the big killers. While we might scoff from...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    Which is followed up by the fact that I point out that they are human; the point of the post had nothing to really do with their accuracy but just the fact that they are human and thus prone to error

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    Right, but what I was getting at was that we shouldn't really think too highly or too negatively of people from the past or find that if they were right about something to be shocking.

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    I am aware, it was more to explain as you explained in your second part of people using inductive reasoning. The basis of my argument was that when discussing people from "back in the day" we shouldn't really disparage them or really elevate them either.

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    Which part translates into Sun? I thought it was heavens and the earth right? Not necessarily Sun and the Earth or was that what was meant as well by heaven? If so, what is the translation regarding the greater and lesser light referring too?

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    not sure what that had to do with the point I was making?? Can you clarify?

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    I think there is a tendency to think that people back so many years ago were ignorant to an unreasonable fault or wise beyond anything man has ever known. The truth probably lies like certain truths in the middle. They certainly weren't ignorant, we to this day still use observation to relay...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    I just think it is important to remember that the advancement of science was done by a lot of individuals involved in the church as well (heck wasn't the Big Bang theory developed by a priest?), the church was not always quick to condemn, and if Europe didn't sink into total ignorance it was due...

    Can a Genesis God be Explained from a Science Perspective? (part 1)

    In defense of the church, a lot of what they refused to change was because it went against knowledge that had been develop by some Greek philosophers, and in general lots more from the opinions of the public. The church's reaction to Galileo could also be related to the fact about a century or...

    What's Wrong With Racism?

    i don't get how people can talk like racism is something that everyone just has. The fear of put bulls because of a negative experience is not the same as fearing an entire subgroup of people. Essentially you're delegating an entire group into being incapable of rational thought, incapable of...

    Question for Evolutionist

    I thought that the term creationist was used because there was no actual science behind it. But As others have pointed out, there are only humans, the same way there are only horses. The fate of all species is death, maybe at some point humans will branch off or maybe this is the last hurrah...

    Can science disprove the existence of God?

    Umm, from what I've read and anyone who is more knowledgeable of the "ancient Hebrews" can correct me. There was not a concept of "Good/Evil" in "Ancient Hebrew", when it came to God. There was God, and there were angels under Gods command that were commanded to do things like tempt people...

    Does Galileo owe the Pope an apology?

    It was several issues, I think at the time the giant split between the catholic church and protestant church had recently occurred, the catholic church wasn't as open to any challengers at that time as it might have been, Gal according to some reports also wrote some scathing things about the...

    Sudan judge sentences Christian woman to death for apostasy

    A lot of "Christian countries" have secular governments. The Islamic countries tend not to.
