Re: Evidence for a Young Sun

The "standard model" is backed by most astronomers and is based on the observed evidence. Unfortunately, assumptions are unavoidable until we can send something to the center of the Sun! But, if you think there's another stellar model that is accurature (and supposedly lacks assumptions), ...

Re: Why is science needed to shore up belief in existence of God

Then i learned about all 'the coincidences' with earth: her place in solar system, her angle, the moon, distance with sun etc. All those are essential for life on earth. not to argue or anything but this point always seems to bother me. The Earth seems to be in these perfect positions for life, but...

Re: Why is science needed to shore up belief in existence of God

Well, most people think that science and the Bible are opposite ends of the spectrum. I think the purpose of the site is to show that there can be harmony between believing in the Bible and believing in science. Correct me if I'm wrong... ;)

Re: to all theist evolutionists

I am a theistic evolutionist as well. I believe in modern scientific theory including macroevolution. Yes, we don't know exactly HOW it happened but we know change happened because of the increasing complexity in the fossil record over long periods of geologic time. I see the Big Bang (or whatever h...

Re: Evidence for a Young Sun

Davies article is already 12 years old and much of it has been rebuked A pretty comprehensive and complicated rebuttal to the Young Sun argument. http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-solar.html Even if the ICR article made any sort of good point about the Sun, they are ONLY saying the Sun is "no...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

I fully expect him to simply say "this is all based on the evolutionary/Old Earth bias that thew scientists have" I wish one YEC would attempt to defend his own position with actual physical evidence. if their position was even a viable alternative, they should be able to throw tons of evi...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

Nor do you know. I think that the things states in Genesis REALLY happened. I feel that the details needed are included and that it explains why we have intellectual endeavors. I have no desire to speak for God or explain how he might have done things if he were me. Isn't that anthropomorphizing Go...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

Here we go again with the same entry level stuff about origins. if this is so entry level then why do you not understand this concept? If the bible is the source then its the source. It says what it says and expects the reader to understand its clear meaning. Yes one can read into it but also not r...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

I don't like this stuff as it is clear that the things of the world, according to the bible, are young. no, it is painfully clear that everything on this Earth is old, and very old at that. Please tell me what about this Earth is young to you and the evidence to back it up. The bible says days for ...

Re: Interesting site on suppressed scientific findings

At first I thought this was going to be a creationist site with the usual mumbo-jumbo but it was an interesting read. They had a lot of stuff on Physics and how we claim to know things but there is the possibility that we don't. We have people on all sides of the debate claiming evidence for this an...

Re: Debating?

yes, you can add stuff to the discussion without actually debating but if someone challenges you to back up your ideas or counters them with something else, then you should be prepared to back up your argument. If you check the "oldest fossil" post you will see what happens when rules are ...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

Well it matters in that it cannot be all of those ages. As I said it matters little to my conclusion that the earth has always been here from man's perspective. I am not the authority on what God meant to say, nor would I try to put words in God's mouth. I feel he meant to say exactley what he said...
