While I agree with the thrust of your post, I would have to disagree on this specific point. It is not typically someone's burden to prove the non-existence of something. Generally speaking, it is properly the burden of whoever is making the affirmative case to prove their case. There's good...

You've read "The Plot", right?

Evidence is nothing at all compared to rational inferrence. Indeed, evidence has no meaning outside rational inference. Presenting something as evidence is rational inference! Valuing evidence over reason is stupidity on parade.

It has nothing to do with what I like or don't like. That IS NOT evolution, that is natural selection and adaptation which is NOT the same thing. The problem you evolutionists have is that you've lowered the goal post so far that it's gone. Anything you see happen in nature counts in your minds...

You should learn to be more consistent! You said to me, "Inference is a powerful tool in history and science." It's just as powerful in philosophy.

Precisely!

Well my intent was to be clear so let me just state it outright... The sentence is Galatians 2:9. (It's actually only part of one of Paul's many run on sentences :))... From post 143... Galatians 2:9 and when James, Peter, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been...

As do yours, hyprocrite! That IS NOT evolution! I know that evolutionists call it evolution but, as you so eloquently stated, their "pompous conclusionary declarations mean nothing." I find it easier if you just say it like this... Saying it doesn't make it so! All true and equally...

Oh brother! Ye are probably a King James only nutter to boot! Just incredible! If this sort of stupidity was the way doctrine is supposed to be done, then the bible can be made to argue anything. This is the sort of thing David Koresh did to convince people he was a "sinning Messiah" of all...

He missed it. You surely didn't, right?

I do not believe you. In fact, I know that this is not true. You're either lying or you are literally delusional. This sort of thing makes it difficult for me to proceed. I get my time wasted on this website to such a large degree that I have a difficult time intentionally committing the time...

Just what do you mean by this? Do you suppose that you no longer do anything wrong?

No we were not grafted into the Jews (i.e. Israel). Israel was cut off. How could we have been crafted into a branch that had been removed? What were we grafted into then? Well, there were believers before Jacob. I'd start my search there. There's a reason Paul brings up Abraham. Sorry, I...

It seems that I am incapable of stopping. I've intended to many times and it never sticks. And, of course, I agree with your sentiment here. I don't expect anyone to go into the detail that I often do and when I write a particularly long post, I don't ever expect someone to necessarily read the...

I agree with you. I had a thread a while back about this. It was intended to hash out what doctrines must be minimally believed in order for a person to be saved. It ended up landing on the following six points... God exists and is the Creator of all things and He is perfect, holy, and just...

No, it isn't nonsense and there isn't anything contradictory about volcanic eruptions and gravity. There is something directly contradictory about random processes producing meaningful information. It is literally something from nothing. Believing that entropy allows life to get started by...

Thanks Poly! You're not such a bad truthsmacker yourself and you've always been a great encouragement to me! God bless you!

No, that isn't the sentence at all. I don't follow. How is either sentence pertinent to allowing one to read and understand the bible such that the answers to questions that Christians have argued and fought over for centuries become intuitively clear and leaves you with no problem texts to...

Entropy disprove evolution because it proves that life could never have gotten started by undirected natural processes.

Glorydaz does not need my help but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. This is done more for my own benefit than anyone else's. I just feel the need to move through this material and put into my own words.... Both John's message and his audience was different than Paul's. There are huge...
