This is concerning the nation of Israel and how the Bible prophesied Israel becoming a nation in 1948.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSIxTxHS4Cw&watch_response

(Lunar;55730) Explain to me exactly how that implies a gap?So you are saying that organisms that were created in Genesis 1:11-27 are not the first animals that God created? You're saying that the creation of the originals were simply never mentioned in Genesis? The creation account moves from...

(Lunar;55713) No, it is because you took a quote from darwinismrefuted.com and then implied that Peter Grant actually shared that view by citing his paper, rather than the site itself as the source. I implied nothing the site did. You wanted the source and I gave it to you. If I gave you the...

(Lunar;55699) The entirety of the quote which you provided - the one which talked about "mythicization by evolutionists" - is nowhere to be found in the Lisle & Grant article. It is, however, found verbatim and uncited on the darwinismrefuted.com site, with the Lisle & Grant article cited as a...

(Lunar;55666) You're right, that wouldn't take any faith. But I don't understand why faith is considered a virtue in the first place. It's not considered a virtue in any other aspect of our lives. Well faith is important because it really is the only way for us to know God. In the present day...

(Lunar;55689) Tsk, tsk. Shouldn't you be concerned, if not for the integrity of this discussion, then at least as a Christian, about being honest? The source of your quote is from http://www.darwinismrefuted.com/origin_of_species_02.html, with said article being selectively quoted. The claim...

(Lunar;55665) Could you provide a source for that? The only source I see cited in that is a from Peter and Rosemary Grant, two evolutionary biologists who are ardent proponents of evolution and whose works specifically detail how new species arise, that acknowledged natural selection was...

(Lunar;55651) They evolved into different species of finches which were dissimilar enough such that they could not reproduce with one another. The most notable difference is in the size of the beaks, which you can see here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...7s_finches.jpegAs a...

(Lunar;55086) First and foremost, concrete empirical evidence of his existence.But, barring that, a more sufficient explanation of the problem of evil than the one that has been offered in this thread, as well as a proper explanation that accounts for the numerous holes and inconsistencies in...

(Truth_Teller;55656) Now you are going to a comparison of which being the bigger miracle. If so then fine. Let me tell you now that Hindus claim that their 'God Krishna once swallowed the Sun'. I mean, miracles can perform many but this one seems more convincing to me. Should I now turn to...

(Lunar;55629) - Darwins finches are one of the most prominent examples, and while the creationist may be inclined to jump and say that this is merely microevolution, the fact remains that new species were produced in this instance. What exactly did the finches turn into?

(Lunar;55630) You've never seen Jesus either, how can you be certain that he is real? Exactly, that is why I go on faith but the apostles needed faith but yet it was confirmed by the presents of Jesus himself.(Lunar;55630) but I hope you realize that even in the bible, nobody ever directly...

Lunar, you are telling Vindicated that he needs to show proof because the burden is on him. Just because we do not have a known use for something does not mean that it is useless or vestigial. Shouldn't the burden be on the person saying such and such is vestigial because...?Let me humor you...

(Lunar;55595) And if someone believes that all the preachers and martyrs of Islam were deceived then I suppose no one will ever be able to help them either.Sorry, A&O, but preaching and martyrdom isn't evidence of the truth of a religion. Every religion has its preachers and its martyrs, and...

(Shornaal;55577) Wrought here actually would mean "is created", meaning that faith without deeds is worthless.And as a godless atheist this is one of the parts of the bible I agree with, one should try to change the world, not just sit on his ass praying.And by "change the world" I mean feed the...

(Lunar;55513) Nowhere in that passage is it suggested that faith led to works. James is pointing out specific instances in which individuals were justified by works. 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?wrought here means works together or works...

(Truth_Teller;55516) The argument still doesn´t help. A religion is proved true or false by making good argumentative points which can convince those who are outsiders. The point of "Passion" or "The Will to die" doesn´t really help the cause.If we were to say so then shouldn´t all Christians...

(Lunar;55514) A&O:With all due respect, that is not a very good argument. I could name martyrs in every single other religious tradition, too, and say "Why would they have died for Islam if it was wrong?" or "Why would they have died for Buddhism if it was wrong?" Look at what it is going on in...

(Jake99;55502) The Rock on which the Messiah will build his church is the Earth itself and his church will not be a building but a system made to resolve all future problems. Christ is the rock Christians are the pebbles

Lunar, to answer the question you raised about what is required for salvation, faith or faith and works. This is perhaps the most important question in all of Christian theology. This question is the cause of the Reformation - the split between the Protestant church and Catholic church. This...
