Closing this topic off, it's run the gamut. Thanks for the interesting discussion ladies and gents!

I'm assuming RT = reformed theology, which seems likely. This has always frustrated me with the Reformed camp. Every time I feel drawn to the stronger doctrine of God you find in that camp, you happen upon the intramurals where folks aren't Reformed (or reformed) enough and so on and so forth...

Even the use of "passive"/jussive here would be a grammatical construct meant to focus on the theme (creation) rather than necessarily the author of the action. I think what Wormwood is getting at is that with the jussive mood, it still refers to God acting to create. Going passive does not...

I *think* this was more or less what I was trying to say, even though reading my last post, it was done badly. Obviously God did not form baby Adam and then baby Eve, and they grew through the accelerated period of a day into maturity. It would seem to suggest the same as far as flora and...

A number of churches chose to drop their denominational affiliation from their name. This is a notable trend in Baptist circles, although I've noticed it also in Assembly of God, some Churches of God, and a few others. Then it seems that many other churches and denominations, such as most to all...

I enjoy road trips as well around my state and through the mountains! I work a job where I occasionally drive to our branches and I love driving with the right music or podcast and then seeing some of the old homes around here. I'm not sure that I am a roadgeek in your sense, but a good ride is...

Greg Boyd, a somewhat unconventional pastor, really hit home on this one day I think. He pondered how the world's sicknesses could be the product of a broken world and and even brokeness specifically manipulated by the enemy. He went on to speculate about the manipulation of DNA (for genetic...

Sorry to fire up the potential for a bit of digression, but as an Old Earthite viewpoint holder myself, I have often pondered this question! At first glance, this would pretty much leave us with the Cartesian deceiver-god. However, one of the objections I've always used to the YEC model is that...

Aspen, I get what you're saying and I don't think we are quite as far apart as it may seem. I try hard to take a more moderated stance because I have met good and peaceful Muslims, and understanding more about their culture yields some understanding as to why voices don't speak out as strongly...

And that is part of the geopolitical melting pot that has left the area unstable. Some of it is indeed their "fault" for lack of political organization and a religious strain which tends towards violence and authoritarianism, but much of it is also the result of badly drawn political boundaries...

I cannot possibly be ignoring what I talked about in the proceeding paragraphs... Sometimes I really am not sure if you are here to troll or if you're just that blind to anyone trying to carry out a reasonable discussion with you. Just on the record for those who would read, see my above. (Rude...

And now we trot out the same old tired trope! All those darn evil fundie Christians and their pesky pet Crusades from 800 years ago proves they're just like the Muslims! Seriously, do we even need to waste the bytes to respond to that one? Islam produces an ISIS every 100 years or thereabouts...

I'm not aware of a Christian ISIS, since we're going to advocate reductio ad absurdum here. It's funny how we can generally feign outrage or shock at this, but the same is not applicable all the time if the creature happens to be about two months or more younger than our hypothetical one month...

Saw the all sorted, but just in case. Go here: http://www.christianityboard.com/blog/manage/ Click Manage to the right-hand side, and follow the on-screen instructions. Beyond that, once it's setup, I just recommend playing. You should be able to delete anything you create.
