What in the world are you talking about? Just because there are several doctrines that don't need more than a single sentence to establish, doesn't mean that any single sentence you pick at random establishes any doctrine you care to dream up. Clete

Liar.

👏 I just wanted to highlight those two sentences because it was just so well said. It's as if Arthur and others like him don't understand what logic is or what it means to be rational. Very frustrating! All we are really saying is that God is real and that He is, therefore, incapable of...

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Exodus 20:13 “You shall not murder. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. That's just three but just a little effort...

No, its not! Adam did die in that 24 hour period! You're the one who's saying he didn't die. In fact, by your definition of death, Adam didn't die at all until some 930 years later. No it isn't. A day is a day unless the context demands otherwise. Saying it doesn't make it so. I don't deny...

Not in the south it wouldn't have! I don't know what you think the civil war was fought over but it wasn't the price of cheese. The abolition of slavery was going to throw a really big wrench in the economy of the south and the south didn't want that to happen and they seceded from the United...

The problem for you here is two fold. First of all your definition is not more directly apparent in the text than is mine. On the contrary, I've established the biblical veracity of my position more than once already. Second, Adam DID NOT die according to your definition of death until several...

(y) Yes, well I suppose some "wacky" doctrines may boil down to mere differences of opinion but usually not. Not in the way I am meaning it, anyway. There are lots of doctrines that absolutely do not make any sense and not even those who believe in them think that they make any sense. They...

Race based slavery was not an American idea. I was not new during the Civil War, nor even when the United States was founded and had certain compromises not been made, America would not have abolished slavery at all (not for at least another whole generation, anyway). Had Lincoln failed to...

Well, like I said... "Straining out gnats." By your definition of "mindless" there isn't anything anyone ever does that is mindless.

I was not being snarky at all. I meant precisely what I said and wasn't trying to be sarcastic or insulting, although I can see why you might have read it in that way. My intention was merely to make an observation. No, that's what the word "mindless" means. Certainly it is based on nothing...

It is true! "Believe what we tell you to believe!" is precisely what which doctors do to those who follow them. It is exactly what the local con artist asks you to do when they "read" your palm. It isn't about actual science where what they believe is the result of asking real questions, doing...

Funny how you say it isn't completely true and then give a counter example that is completely in keeping with what you said wasn't completely true.

I wasn't trying to be particularly clever. I said it to make a point. Of course you do. If this were your real stance you would not be an atheist. Abiogenesis is only one of thousands of things in the natural world that simply cannot have been created by undirected, mindless, natural...

I couldn't ever muster the faith that it would require to be an atheist.

Give or take 100 years? That seem like a very strong assertion. Could you give the evidence for such a dating?

And some survived the flood as well. There's evidence, both biblical and secular, of creatures that lived along side humans but that "science" would have believe died out millions of years ago.

I do not believe that anything roamed the Earth hundreds of millions of years ago but certainly do not deny that dinosaurs existed.

The flaws in radiometric dating are beyond belief! Here's just a taste... Scientist Realizes Important Flaw in Radioactive Dating Excerpt... "As someone who has studied radioactivity in detail, I have always been a bit amused by the assertion that radioactive dating is a precise way to...

I don't understand why this is so difficult to get across... You are making a claim here. It isn't an argument, it's simply a claim. What I've presented isn't just a claim but an actual argument, and a quite formal one at that, which has very clearly stated premises and each step of which...
