I think it is an unwarranted view to take the position that 'we can't know if this existing'. A person can believe in the existence in God with the sa...
Apparently there are many who argue about just such a thing, and the arguments are among theists, since it concerns their faith. There are many argume...
To be fair the ad Infinitum version of the argument requires an infinite succession of creators, so that does not work either. And then a God-Creator ...
Yes, but with an additional comment, that there is a reason to believe that the universe was created 6,000 odd years ago, and that 'reason' is the tra...
' That view is on the face of it rather simplistic, but at a deeper level it is a sophisticated argument: God exists, but leaves no evidence, as in mi...
Although a literal interpretation of Genesis is very clearly in conflict with the current scientific understanding of origins, it is clear to me that ...
Evidence may be damaging to an irrational position, but may not persuade a person to give it up. There is evidence that will support the several sub-c...
Anyone may think God does exist or does not exist but in any case, it may or may not correspond to reality. But that is not what I want to discuss. I ...
The entire question of evidence is central to this debate. I have already distanced myself from the practice of finding evidence to fit my interpretat...
The short answer would be to ask God in heaven, but that is really not a reasonable answer. A miracle, not to put too fine a point on it, in one sense...
Correction: if someone believes that miracles happen, then they could believe that Creation was a miracle. As for being irrational, what can I say? If...
Why not have this teaching established not only at present, but the opinion is offered that this will be the stand for now and all possible future gen...
In your opinion, then, is the Catholic church's stance rational? Is it self-consistent? https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vatican-evolution-idUSLG626...
I find this interesting. Of course, it does not include the dinosaurs. Or reptiles. Or maybe the mustard seed is not the smallest of seeds. According ...
That is just the point. Believing in monsters on Venus is an option for the Monster Believing cult. We are not discussing this leap of faith. Granted,...
"Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat" " Something doesn't add up if you want to tak...
Indeed, so making sense of it has to be something like this: the thoughtful believer sits down with a pen and paper and uses the dimensions of the ark...
That is an excellent book, I have not read it, but it demonstrates the kind of frameworks that help the Christian and perhaps the scientist grapple wi...
My point is that, if someone believes in miracles, there are many who do, but numbers do not matter, then it is reasonable that Creation itself could ...
The success of the Bible and other religious texts rests on the demographics and possibly the social psychology of the human race. Why are certain boo...
What we follow is the received text, to be blunt, no matter how inaccurate it turns out to be. There are some reasons to have confidence in the text, ...
Any acceptance of the Biblical account as being a true account of creation has to be accompanied by a harmonization of the scientific theories of evol...
In the area of Biblical translation, actually, the problem is fairly straightforward. The translations are in front of us now, and with the additional...
Well I would not call it a Jesus Legend. Also, the accounts of creation seem to be different on further examination, and there are contradictory state...
I really need your views on how to handle irrational, attacking, dogmatic views on both sides of the debate. I do mean both sides. This is a real conc...
"The world would have to be irrational in a high degree for science to be wrong on this and why do Christians think their translations of ancient text...
Hi Gregory. First of all, thanks for the civil response. I have been discussing these with various persons and I know the reactions that I get from de...
Just to be clear, the received truth is that the Republican party is bad and the Democratic party is good, is that correct? An objective standard woul...
It is a really tiresome piece of hyperbole and exaggeration. Again, the entire Republican party is now to blame, in some insane logic, for a few hundr...
Better suited for the job is a good criteria. A pre-election article about voters highlighted the reasons people voted for their candidate. Some voter...
That is absurd. 80% or more were approving of him after 4 years. Does that sound like a poor choice? Not from their point of view, and your point of v...
So those private 'speech codes' are not subject to government regulations, is that right? If Twitter has decided to take sides, shouldn't there be an ...
Well yes, I agree with you here. I do not think Trump is delusional. With the people who came forward to say various things about election fraud forge...
Banned from Twitter? Twitter has their own rules which they are absolutely in their right to enforce. Of course we can all keep checking on Twitter's ...
When I spoke about respecting the office I simply meant taking the example of President-Elect Biden: "He exceeded even my worst notions about him. He'...
I was referring to this curious Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 18. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religi...
Trump somehow strikes a chord with the millions of people who support him. If it was not Trump, it would be someone else. I have a lot of respect for ...

Biden will make America Great Again Again!. I sincerely hope so... build back better - I welcome it. We will be watching from Day 1 as the Covid Influ...
Obviously if he thinks he won, he wants to find the missing votes, like you would if you lost some dollars you would want to find the missing money. D...
His supporters are in it for to aggrandize his personal ego? What do they get in return? That does not seem like politics. I do not demonize either si...
It's funny you should say that, because, if the results of the election are correct, he did lose support. Or did he gain opponents? It is important to...
I have skimmed through Peter Navaro's report. Much of the report is based on testimony and statistical analyses which have no standing with CNN and th...
