    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    Neanderthals were people who lived a long time. My idea has the advantage of scientific backing — genetics show that they were practically indistinguishable from modern humans and skull analyses indicate later onset of puberty — as well as not requiring invention of non-Biblical history...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Based on evidence and reason. Evidence: The cosmic microwave background shows that something light-related permeated the universe in its earliest days. Reason: The Bible says there was a source of light and "evening and morning." You might use the perjorative "conjecture" to ridicule our...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    By having the light from one side of the planet. Because there was a light source and a rotating Earth. It's a contest between what scripture says and what you say. The Bible is explicit. Genesis is an account of history and it presents the creation as happening in six days. There is no...

    Genetically, neanderthals are humans. Modern humans closer to neanderthals than chimps are to other chimps. Read Buried Alive, by Jack Cuozzo.

    What do you mean "accept"? The Bible says that the sign of God's promise was the rainbow "in the clouds." It doesn't really matter to me where people see a rainbow and remember scripture.

    Should We Declare a Pandemic Amnesty?

    Mask policy. Lockdowns. "Vaccines." Plastic dividers. Ivermectin. Hydroxychloroquine. Vitamin D. People would have been far better off doing the exact opposite of what the government ordered in relation to these topics. Masks stop droplets, but the virus spreads via aerosols. Places that...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Let's look at text that we should agree is allegorical. Here is a passage from the first chapter of Pilgrim's Progress. Are we to believe that the author did not mean one literal night because the book is an allegory of the Christian faith? That is what you're asking us to believe about...

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    For example, you say that "six days" cannot mean what it plainly says "because it's allegorical." You do realize how utterly inane that assessment is, right? Why is it allegorical? Why do you believe that? How does the use of allegory dictate that elements of a story cannot be accurate?

    Uh huh. We know why you'll keep whining about this distraction instead of engaging substantively on the questions you've been challenged with.

    Allegory/Symbolism in Genesis 1

    Except for the — literally — thousands of posts that have been penned on that word and its many uses. It is a deflection. You assert — contrary to scripture — that the world is billions of years old, but are for some reason desperate to convince people that you do not deny the Bible. Your...
