The problem is that many of us do not believe a word people like fauci or Biden say. Not a word. Same with mainstream propaganda media. I don't even look at that anymore. It all boils down to who and what we choose to believe. If there were science that settled anything, we would have seen it by now.

The age of the earth is probably somewhere close to the one Usher calculated, give or take a few hundred years.

Yep, you're a YEC whack-job. Exact same style trolling. We can recognize that stench from a mile away.

Re: Any Redeeming Value?

It also brought a weaponized space and soon a weaponized moon probably also.

And when our forces are clearly in control the treatment of christians in the Colosseum will look tame by comparison.

I could say the same about CNN and mainstream media

And your bible.

Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

So that would be Sunday, 23rd October, 4004 BC. making it 6,026 years old this year. I've put the date in my diary and I'll send a card.

Re: Any Redeeming Value?

Nothing like someone professing to be Christian and collecting asault rifles (and indeed putting them on their family's Christmas card - a time celebrating their Christ's birthday).

I do struggle to remember the bit in the Bible where Jesus told people to go out and arm themselves. Can anyone help with that ?

I do recall him saying this in Matthew ch 5: "You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." But maybe he retracted that somewhere ?

Edited by vimesey, : No reason given.

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

“…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox

Sorry for feeding the troll

After your latest bat shit crazy YEC post, I have to ask a couple of questions. If you truly were ever an M.D., when and where were you last licensed?
How, as an M.D., would you explain something like antibiotic-resistant infections?

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
