Re: T o p i c !
I have a question for AdminNosy...
How can this be a purely science thread if the general argument/discussion of this whole forum is between creation vs evolution.
By seperating the waters you are avoiding hot and intemperate discussions but you are also killing the basic discussion that makes the thread worthwile...
I know I'm a newbie around here and that I shouldn't ask impertinant questions, but if I can't use the bible as a starting point to answer questions then how can there be a discussion?

Re: science and non science
So do you think I should revise and repost this question as new topic for discussion?

We are the sum of all that is, and has been. We will be the sum of our choices.

Re: T o p i c !
In the months that I 've participated here I've seen many people try to poke holes in what the bible says. Although I believe in the creation of mankind by the direct interaction and intervention of God, I can also say without any qualm that if one wants to look hard enough one can always find some contradictions and inerrency in the biblical texts without altering the principle intent of the message.
How much I bend backwards to accomodate your statements depends on what you have to say.
Having said this and after giving careful consideration to your offer I accept it with pleasure. Discussion is always welcome although insults however veiled are not. Let's keep the discussion at a level above the waist.
As for an indepth knowledge on evolution, there I must say I don't know as much about it as a biologist or anthropologist might, so if I don't understand something, Ill scream for help. (if that's ok with you)

We are the sum of all that is, and has been. We will be the sum of our choices.

Re: Off topic
That depends on the contradiction doesn't it?
Some apparent contradictions I agree with, some are only apparent since the context of the whole book clarifies many of them.
Since you're the one stating the existence of some of these contradictions, which ones do you want to talk about first?

We are the sum of all that is, and has been. We will be the sum of our choices.
