(medicalmatt;47674) *raises hand* Degree in Neurobiology, Physiology & Animal Behavior here.Problems Christians have in debating evolution: Microevolution is a non-debatable, observable, scientific fact. This is the common scientific usage of the generic term "evolution." Thus, saying "evolution...

Parents have a right to teach their children whatever they want. It's up to the child to believe it. It's in their latter years where they start making decisions for themselves. I agree, and its not the schools job, so hence religion should stay 100% out of school and the government, but thats...

(tim_from_pa;46430) First, you simply said "Indoctrination", now you say "soldiers". Which is it now? Or is it both? My, my, what emotionally charged words to sway one's opinion. No, I don't see the difference as I'm not sure you see the difference in what I am saying.Is a military person...

Evolution is only a theory without proof A theory based on observations in nature with supporting evidence. Otherwise we would not be having this discussion. Im sure we would. For quite a while, Christians were arguing that the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth...

(RobinD69;46492) Actually they think they are observing effects of millions of years, but still it is a theory. Ive already explained the difference between a scientific theory and a religious theory.If you keep ignoring everything I state and then simply repeat yourself, it solves nothing.One...

(Called 2 Conquer;46616) This has to be the most outragious thing a science adict could say. Not really.Me turning on a flash light is not the same as the sun rising. Turning on a faucet is not the same as water flowing over the Niagra falls. Shaking a box is not the same thing as the...

Evolution aint' religion buddy. Neither is gravity.

(Jerusalem Junkie;46308) Agreed. But do you not have to consider that the Bible is based on Archeological results that have been confirmed through science to be authentic in nature. Are not the writers of the Bible noting observations about what they saw or heard or even dreamed about. Theres a...

As for genetics --- I'm sure thats not in the Bible. And where did genealogy come from? Genealogies are all over the Bible. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=genealogy1. a record or account of the ancestry and descent of a person, family, group, etc.2. the study of family ancestries...

There is a difference between teaching science and history in a public school and indoctrinating children to become "soldiers". Is reading a history book on Napolean or a biology book about cells in public school the same thing as what went on in this Pentecostal camp?You do see the difference...

The world did not "accept" the 10 commandments.Humanity has existed for 200,000 years. Laws and rules in regards to killing, stealing, adultery, etc have existed in most societies long before the 10 commandments existed.If the first 4 commandments were indeed basis of law, then they would...

(RobinD69;46263) Actually you may have to shake that box for a million years. Belief is belief, compare science to your little list you used to prove Christianity is a religion, science fits pretty well. Actually, you could shake the box for 1 billion years and it probably will not assemble into...

(RobinD69;46262) Read the Bible and then compare what these other socalled Christian groups claimed and what the Bible states. Jesus said to love your enemy, but He also told the apostles to defend themselve as they saw fit. The crusades were started by a power hungry Pope. If you would study...

(tim_from_pa;46273) First of all, one has to believe the bible as to what God said about Israel. If one reads it discerningly, one can see that Israel had a separate purpose than the house of Judah (the Jews), they would be lost to history, they would again reappear as Gentiles (or as Hosea...

The promise was given before Israel existed. Remember his father was Issacm whose father was Abraham, whose great garandfather was Shem whose father was Noah. As we know this is easily well before the other cultures you want to throw into the mix In terms of civilizations, the oldest is...

twelve tribes of Israel are dated to 1200BC ish. The oldest Indo-European cultures are in Iran and India (2000-1500BC ish).Indo-European and Semitic languages are two entirely different linguistic groups that do have some overlap due to various migrations but overall are different enough to...

Your comparison doesnt hold up.You are comparing an act that takes a few seconds (shaking around a box) to a the process of evolution which occured over millions of years.There is a big difference.And "beliefs" in science are different from beliefs in religion. Im sure you already know why, as...

^I actually dont disagree with you.The whole reason that evolution is such a hot topic these days is because certain Christians (and practically no one else from any other religious group) are meddling in science and the public schooling system and trying to alter and influence both as based on...

Then you havent read the history of Christian Europe or the Americas, or the various empires that were established by the British, Spanish, etc.Or I am pretty sure you have, but you will come back with the expected "they werent really Christians" tagline when in-fact these people did follow some...

(tim_from_pa;46197) Read my online book in my signature below. If you do not know, then I don't think you are in a position to debate the subject in this thread for the same reason that I would not debate a surgeon's expertise if I was a farmer. I do follow genealogy and genetics. What you...
