    The Bible - Why Trust It

    I guess I'm not one of those guys then. I like to think I can read English even the kind that was written a couple of hundred years ago. I think you are mistaking "understand" with "accept as truth", if that is the case, then sure, you have me spot on.

    The Bible - Why Trust It

    Darwin's book was surprisingly undersold and not very popular, surprising for such an over quoted tome. Gillian Beer is actually still alive and kicking, Darwin, not so much, I'm happy to talk about some more contemporary "scientists", Chomsky is still around, he is a linguist who at one stage...

    The Bible - Why Trust It

    Actually I have, The preface by Gillian Beer was particularly onerous and must have taken a quarter of the dreary tome, bit of a fan-girl I think. I only read it to see what the fuss was about. Darwin spends a lot of time apologising and theorising doesn't mention humans in his work. The...

    The Bible - Why Trust It

    I think "On the Origin of Species" takes that sorry prize.

    Goat herders, Scripture, and why Scripture (and the Koran) are toxic, irrational, and dangerous!

    You know that's a myth, don't you. I really tried to check this out because it sounds like such a strange thing to do but I cannot find any fact behind this at all. Have you a reference? All I could find were posts, blogs and websites citing this as a myth.

    No one should believe in evolution!

    Thanks for the lesson, I would like to think that I am making an effort to understand these types of science. Please note that; 1) I try to keep abiogenesis separate from any topic around evolution even though I think that is a cop out because the implication of evolution is that life...

    No one should believe in evolution!

    To be fair, when you quote me like this, you should include your own quote "And the discovery of these amino acids in the Murchison meteorite is just one evidence of many evidences supporting the extra-terrestrial origin. So it isn’t “zero evidence” as you’ve claimed." There is no evidence...

    No one should believe in evolution!

    Proteins are not "living matters". Everyone expects people "like me" to do my research but it's okay for people "like you" to come up with something you just made up. I'm having a crummy night so don't try to make stuff up and expect me to swallow it with any grace. A protein is a polymer and it...

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    Actually you might if Puppy, Cat was the tile or name of the creature. I'm not sure where this is even going anymore. 1) Yes I am a creationist although that has nothing to do with this conversation. If you knew anything about the various Christian religions, you would take the time to look at...

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    Not meaning to cause offence. So good, I guess.

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    Fine then, we'll user spiderman, batman, luke skywalker, and the like because that is the correct way to use the written language.

    Is there something that everyone can agree on?

    I drew England in the office sweep. Go the Poms.

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    Probably because I was clarifying the use of a word in a non-religious sense but go ahead, have your own take on that. Oh and when you mention God in a singular context, it is correct to capitalise. You could use a god or the gods but when you use the term as you do in your sentence which...

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    dogma is just a word. I deliberately try to keep any language relating to religion, God or faith out of anything I post just so that you know, I'm not accused of trying to proselytize to the unbelievers. (That would be you and your mates). Here's the thing, I post stuff sometimes without...

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    Oh, I don't know, an atheist dogma might be "I'll believe it to be true if you can prove it to be true.", you might call it the dogma of proof. A dogma is more of a principle that a belief, it doesn't necessarily encompass a belief in a thing and the dogma for any particular atheist might be...

    Is it "an assertion that Atheism is correct"?

    Great word, I had to look it up, definitely not part of my usual vocabulary.

    Good Christians

    You are correct, World Vision is an organisation, and organisation cannot be a Christian, the same as a Church cannot be a Christian. A Christian is a person. They probably have some true Christians in their staff somewhere. Are you generalising?

    The Insignificance of Gilgamesh

    Okay, fair enough, I'm going to take your word for it, the thread has gotten so long I'm having trouble following who posted what so I'll retract the Strawman accusation. :-} (that's a wry smiley face)

    'Christian'

    You have a point, I am clearly a Christian but my label says Reformed because, that is in fact my religion. There are many religions out there which are at their core Christian but saying someone is Christian is generalising. I am not, for example, a Catholic, and would not want to be bundled...

    Good Christians

    True Christians do not do this, your are confusing people who say they are Christian with those who are Christian. I will quote the Bible here because clearly you have no idea of it's content: Mathew 6 (KJV) 1:Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have...
