paper against evolution, for intelligent design

*... because the bible said the sun orbits the earth! Even the fact that the moon was put there as a "light" in the night for humanity...*I'm just curious, where in the Bible does it state this? Also, in the Bible does it ever state the world is 10,000 years old? Or has someone approximated this based on what is in the Bible?[This message has been edited by Spencer, 12-15-2003]

*But surely you are referrring to holy writ, not a collection of goatherders' myths and fables, aren't you? Surely the creator of the universe could inspire the scribe of the bible to accurately describe the reality of the solar system rather than repeat the false impression which one would obtain in the absence of scientific thinking. *In Response [Servus Dei]..:*Hah. If you want to think of the Bible that way, then go ahead. It's wrong, but no one is stopping you. Sure God could have done it that way, but that would have meant he would have revealed scientific knowledge to the writer that was non-existant at the time. *It sounds as though you are insinuating that God passes knowledge through humans when He feels like it - when the time is right. If this is so, then why would God give us such scientific knowledge to create a theory of evolution? Or is he just being a trickster?
