lfen, in the wrong thread
author: lfen
forum: faith & belief
thread: the gentic inheritance of sin
message: 118
short, and sweet, and a very good point. and totally offtopic.

faith writes:
I'm telling you what I'm able to imagine based on the Bible, and that's it. Period.
Unwillingness to look at and address the evidence leaves you in the enviable position of imagining the world however you wish. I personally can't take an imaginary religion seriously though.

Subbie in YEC problem With Science Above and Beyond Evolution

Thread: YEC Problem With Science Above and Beyond Evolution
Post: An Analogy
http://EvC Forum: YEC Problem with Science Above and Beyond Evolution -->EvC Forum: YEC Problem with Science Above and Beyond Evolution
Subbie uses a quite apt analogy to explain the necessary relationship between "theoretical" and "practical" science. Sometimes, as in this case, an analogy illuminates the idea better than several normal posts can even when all put together.

Thanks much. And you as well, Quetzal.
Not to start a mutual admiration society or anything, but here's my nomination.

Post: OP
EvC Forum: YEC Problem with Science Above and Beyond Evolution
As I said in another thread advocating reopening of the YEC Problem thread:
To my mind, while this point is widely overlooked in much of the evolution/creationism debate, it may be the single most important point that can be made in the debate. Arguing sundry small parts of the debate has validity, and EvC is a very good forum for that. But, in focusing exclusively on that sort of debate, you run the risk of missing the forest for the trees. And, I can't think of any other way to illustrate the consequences to all of science other than the kind of thread that anglagard started.

Smilies at their best
Author: Ringo
Forum: Faith and Belief
Thread: Opinions and conclusions about Religion and God.
Msg: 184
On top of clever (and relevant) word play, the perfect placement of our little smiling friend, making the point more fun than fierce.
Kudos to Iano also for his perfect and genial reply.
