Colin Patterson: Can You Tell Me Anything About Evolution That Is True? Colin Patterson: Can you tell me anything about evolution that is true?

Well, for starters, people don't know what they are talking about. A metaphor is a carefully defined figure of speech, but people use the word to mean "a garbled expression that may or may not be understandable to humans." God speaks to us in human languages, so He uses figures of speech, same...

The most common failure is pretending to know something when you don't. Second most common is clinging to a cherished belief just because you already believe it. And always we have the failure of human logic, thinking something is proved just because you prefer to believe it.

The problem is not that evolution is unscriptural, it is that evolution is unscientific. Science is defined by the scientific method. Step 1 is "Observe something." Evolution has never been observed, and there is nothing that one can point to and say "There! That is evolution." Any time you...

The first word of the bible proves it was divinely inspired. Genesis 1:1 King James Version (KJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The bible was written by very religious people. If they wrote a grocery list they would write the name of God at the top. If they had...

Yawn. They can only see a black hole by assuming they are looking at a black hole. Black hole theory violates several known laws, one of them being the law of gravity. Newton published his shell theorem showing that gravity in a solid sphere decreases to zero at the center. That is because all...

I can see that evangelism is not your ministry.

Science is anything that can be measured. Spirit is anything that can not be measured. Science is powered by logic and evidence. Spirit is powered by believing and wisdom. No connection. You can not prove or disprove spiritual things with science. If you don't believe a concept then by...

What we call music, meaning western music, was invented by Christians to glorify their God. There is a lot to it, but it is all pretty well known. There are no PhD degrees in music. Everything else is just wind chimes. The only verifiable discovery in sound/mind activity is white noise used...

If you have taken your last breath you are dead. If you have not taken your last breath you are not dead. So how exactly do you define "near" death?

Only one person has ever asked and he interrupted the answer to tell me he didn't want to hear it.

Well, you seem to be pretty good at that.

Clam with buck teeth

The bible makes sense. Your thesis does not make sense. That is a problem. It's not a problem for me because I don't try to follow your thesis.

I didn't say I still practice that stuff, or ever did. You seem to have trouble connecting here. Work on that, ok?

In the 19th century Americans started moving west and three institutions went with them. There was vaudeville, traveling entertainment. There was lyceum, traveling education and culture. And there was the itinerant preacher, offering a new style of preaching called "hell fire and brim stone". It...

You are all discussing emotions, and no agreement is possible on that basis. You need to figure out exactly what you are discussing, not how you feel about it. Anybody can commit suicide by just refusing to eat. So suicide is not the issue. It is almost impossible to differentiate between...

Isaiah 55:11 King James Version (KJV) 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. God Himself maintains the integrity of His word.

I don't know what you assume. What is your point either way? I was baptized in the Mormon church at age 8 and I am a deacon. (All Mormon boys are ordained deacons at age 14.) My brother was baptized 14 times in behalf of 14 dead people. Does that make it right or something?
