Hello everyone,
Don't know if you were following the Biblical Creationism posts at Talk Origins (with Terry) but thought you might like to know how it went. I was posting under the alias anudei.
As of Terry's last post in that thread I was unable to post anything anywhere, including new threads. After a few days trying to get a word in, I gave up and left the place. Please tell me, if you know: Was it just me, or was I actually being cut off?
I must report that the subject of biblical reality regarding ancient ideas of the universe is not a popular discussion with either camp in this debate. I sense that it is an important one, however, for it underlies the entire construction of the creationist axe. Please tell me that I am not wasting my time attempting to draw attention to the fundamental assumptions erroneously drawn from this wonderful old text.
Why not post here Canon? I'm rather ignorant on the particular subject and it might end up a bit of a monologue, but it sounds interesting.
On the Terry thing--Terry is, to put it mildly, a bit of a kook. He frequently came into talk.origins and spouted ridiculous stuff on just about every subject, get caught in a lie or an untenable position and then disappeared until next time. When you try and discuss something with him, take his actions with a grain of salt. If you it bothers you too much, just ignore him.
