Evidence for God from Science

Well, I would love to have heard that conversation. Do you know what group this is, and did you acquire any of their materials where we could look at a website etc.? It was interesting to say the least. I don't think they were themselves a big organization, they just ran a somewhat large Bible stud...

Creationisim can be taught in school, in theology class, since that is what it is. Sorry, forgot to be specific...I meant that it is illegal to teach in science classes. I learned about Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, etc. in my World Cultures class in high school (a required class, for the...

After having a lengthy (~5 hours) conversation and discussion with a group of Young-Earth creationists on my campus last week, I felt like I wanted to address a few interesting points regarding the legal and scientific aspects of creationism in schools. First of all, right now I am taking a course c...

So while watching some videos on youtube I came across an interesting question: First, if you commit suicide, do you go to Hell? This seems relatively straightforward, because killing yourself is violating your greatest gift from God. Presumably, that's murder, and that would be a sort of ultimate s...

I understood what you meant. I guess the fact that I'm taking a course in microbiology just makes me really nitpicky about things like that right now.

My dear Sam, virus is a kind of organism consisting of a complete DNA, or RNA. It is the oldest form of life. A singular cell structure which later evolved. Neo, don't take this as me being jerk, but the biologist in me needs to correct this statement. Viruses are weird things in nature. They techn...

I don't know if ID will one day succeed in being mainstreamed as an alternative to evolution but until then, I agree. What is unfortunate is that many find this approach as contra-theism when it doesn't have to be. That's kind of my point. Right now, ID has almost nothing to stand on except a few p...

He makes some good points, though I would disagree with some of them as well. His three general "meanings" of evolution are accurate, and yes, microevolution is about as much of a fact as anything in science. He also makes a good, sometimes overlooked point about why evolution is so widely...

I didn't want to say that we have no issues, or that they are better/worse than before. I just get so sick of people saying that "the time we live in now is having SO many more problems, and God is punishing us SO badly for them. We need to get back to the good old days when everyone was a perf...

I guess all I would say to that is this: What cultures throughout history truly have not denied sin in some form or another? So many people today seem to want to say that our current American culture is SO much more removed from Christianity and living justly than we ever have been in the past. And ...

Which sins have we legalized and what were the consequences, if I might ask?

78% Jill Stein Jill Stein Green on environmental, domestic policy, social, and science issues 77% Barack Obama Barack Obama Democrat on economic, social, immigration, and science issues 71% Gary Johnson Gary Johnson Libertarian on foreign policy, social, and immigration issues 39% Mitt Romney Mitt R...

If you don't care for Halloween, great, no one is forcing you to care. I don't care much for halloween myself but the kids like the dressing up thing (like all kids do) and I like the costume party thing too. It's fun. I admit that I was a bit wound up in my responses before, perhaps too aggressive...

Alright, I see now that it is pointless to argue further. You despise tolerance, apparently, which is frankly the only thing that I think can bring the world together. Jesus would be so proud of you for putting down tolerance so much. Tolerance is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength. It...

See, that's a very interesting example. You seem so quick to judge everyone's actions that aren't as "pure" as your own, yet in the process all you are doing is expressing views of conceit and intolerance. It's sad that you and your children are believers in the church of "everyone bu...
