Evidence for God from Science

Thanks, Rick. My long posts near the end were the ones I liked....something possibly informative and helpful. Pete, that's one good thing that can come out of these kinds of threads. Others reading can get a better understanding of things such as the trinity. Those who refuse to see, will still be ...

1. You are apparently equating "humans share DNA with the animal and plant kingdom" with the Darwinian claim of common descent. That, however, is just an interpretation of what the hard data actually says. What the hard data actually shows is that human and animal and plant DNA tends to b...

Some quick thoughts before heading off to the gym (working on the "less of me" part of "more of Jesus, less of me" :mrgreen: ). God is not fully knowable, if only because He is the Creator and we are creatures. God has revealed much of Who He is in His word (and some is inferrabl...

neo-x, just an explanatory note, when I say "Designer" I'm not invoking ID. Much of my experience in electronics is in engineering, i.e. the design side of things.

Just to echo what others have said, while there is a government run educational system that most kids are enrolled in, there is a very, very large private educational system. I was actually home-schooled six of my twelve years, and I can promise you those six years were MUCH better in EVERY respect...

neo-x, disagreement with the Theory of Evolution need not entail a rejection of or a disability in any branch of science. I'm of the YEC persuasion, and I work in electronics, which is applied Physics. I've known physicians who believe in Creation. Disbelief in Evolution is simply no hindrance to le...

neo-x, if I understand CT correctly, in the kind of privatization of education she envisions parents would decide which schools their children attended based on what they believe appropriate and their budget. Homeschooling (other than public school independent study programs) in California law - not...

Apologetics challenges the one learning in at least a couple of ways. One is to understand and think through what we believe. For example, try to wrap your mind around the meaning of God being the Creator. Time is one of His creatures ... what does it mean that God is outside of and not limited by t...

This is easily the most international discussion board I've been on. I'm on two news/politics boards, which are almost entirely US, and a computer repair board, which has some members from EuroLand. I'm continually, here, thinking twice about whether I'm saying something that might be less than clea...

Regarding my presence here, I explained in my Intro post what it is that interests me in this forum. If anyone doubts what I said, simply search for all my posts here so far. The majority - I'd guess 2/3 - 3/4 - have nothing to do with A2E or Jehovah's witnesses. And as a further invitation, go to t...

Jac (and Mrs. Jac), go for it! Be sure to look for local homeschooling support groups, and also check out homeschoolchristian.com. The amount of curricular and educational materials "out there" can be bewildering! You'll find experienced folks in support groups and at HSC that will help yo...

Apologetics certainly has a certain dry and dusty image ... some of it earned, IMO. It should not be an either-or proposition, because real people in the real world are a mix of factual and feelings. Your BIL may run into a problem if he tries witnessing to a well-informed atheist/agnostic or a well...

Daniel, that certainly has a lot of truth on a general level. A crazed gunman shooting up a mall is certainly more likely to get news coverage than ten thousand Moms and Dads helping their children's Scout troops or soccer teams and helping their children with their homework every night. BUT there a...

I thoroughly agree that it need not be an either-or choice. Throwing out some thoughts ... Many/most church congregations are a mixture: children & youth, young college, career & marrieds, middle-aged, older; new believers through those who have been believers for many decades. For younger n...
