genesis

Just learned that this movie, IS GENESIS HISTORY? has been released on DVD. I did a google search for the movie and was surprised to find such a small number of negative reviews and posts. I have not seen it, but it appears to be totally young earth creationist propaganda. The few negative...

In this thread, Vixen made this comment: Follow up in that thread would be way off topic so I started this thread. Vixen, maybe you can start by expanding on your belief.

I listened to a Genesis podcast a while back by Dr. Robert M Price. It was a fascinating subject, as is the Bible as a whole actually. One thing that intrigued me most was the theory among some critical scholars (and one that Dr. Price supports) that the words "..let us make man in our image..."...

Since there are already three flood threads going at the present time, I was originally thinking of putting this question into one of them. However, it would have been a bit off-topic for any other them. So, I'm starting this thread in hopes that DOC, edge or any others who consider the flood a...

Here's a question for DOC, edge, AvalonXQ and any other creationists on this forum: What did viruses do before the Fall of Man? Creationists explain such evils as predation and parasitism as resulting from God's curse on g=creation following the Fall of Man. It's their way of dealing with the...

In a couple of threads, the claim that the bible (here in specific Genesis 1) makes surprisingly accurate predictions of later scientific findings has resurfaced. It has probably been done here before, but still, let's actually read Genesis 1 and see. (I assume that it is OK to quote...

To me one of the most obvious things in the Bible that shows humans have made it up is the idea that God had to rest after finishing the job of creating everything. Only human beings could have thought of giving God a resting period (how very altruistic of them). Why would an omnipotent and...

NOTE: Bible references are from the Old King James Bible From time to time, I’ve encountered some Christian apologists who claim that there is no contradiction in the creation stories of Genesis. However, when I read Genesis chapter 1 and 2, I still see these contradictions. The most glaring...

I got creative last week-end. Inspired by some of theads on a simulated universe in the science and mathematics section, I wrote this. I reread it and decided I would go ahead and post it. I know, there's lots of similar ones out there, most of which are probably better. But this one is...

From Salon today: Mike Huckabee and Adam's rib Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose statements on evolution have themselves evolved a bit during the 2008 presidential race, was asked about the issue again Thursday night on "The Charlie Rose Show." "I believe God created the heavens and...

I came across this site that claims many scientific principles were actually presented first in the bible. http://www.creationevidence.org/scientific_evid/se_scripture.html

In reading Genesis and discussing the creation (according to Biblical text) it occurred to me that when God creates the world he looks at it and says everything he made was Good. In Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve are being judged for eating the tree of life he says that ---they have become like us...

I am reposting a recent note I sent to the Republican National Committee: ************************************************************************************** How embarrassing it is to have three of the candidates from the recent debate NOT believe in evolution. Anyone not believing in...

Not wanting to hog the show, I'll only list my favourite "THING THAT god CAN'T DO!" In the beginning i.e. Genesis, it states that god separated the light from the dark, to make day and night.:confused: This is clearly impossible, if not tricky, simply because there is no such thing as dark...

God, as we all know, agrees with creationists. ‘Cos it says so in their favorite interpretation of their favorite book. The question still remains whether he agrees with all of their arguments. Or, indeed, any of them. Hence ... Song of the Creationist --- or : "So where in Genesis did you...

to fit evolution?

what it says?

I don't believe there is, but I believe you fine people will know if there is or isn't.

Your thoughts, please...

Thorkild Grosbøll, rector in the Danish National Evangelical Lutheran Church and suspended for the past eleven months for 'not believing in God', has been reinstated, awaiting the decision by the bishops. He was reinstated because his parishoners did not seem to mind the statements that led to...

Wednesday night, 7pm, Dr. Terry Mortenson. I was considering attending to provide a voice of reason, but then i figured what good what it do. I decided to mail a copy of this to the pastor but 1. I want a few more sets of eyes and opinions on the paper and 2. would it even be worth my while...

According to an article in Science (22 October) a design error by Lockheed Martin caused some sensors to be installed upside down, leading the spacecraft to crash into Utah last September (because they failed to sense the appropriate motion and therefore did not tell the parachute to open)...

I know of the Christian Genesis story and the beliefs and creationist that it has spawned. My question is how do Mohammedans, Hindus, Buddhist, and other religions claim the world began? Do they even make such a claim? Do they also have a "seven day plan"? Do they have hard-line creationist like...

Sustainable oil? ". . .An intriguing theory now permeating oil company research staffs suggests that crude oil may actually be a natural inorganic product. . ." Pretty neat, if true.

Recently I was pondering the book of Genesis in the bilble and I stumbled upon an intersting question. The book states that all of humanity decended from Adam and Eve. It is my understanding that children of sibilings tend to have severe birth defects. So, isn't this yet another whole in...

http://www.matr.net/print-5090.html It seems to me that making electricity out of water in this fashion is free energy. I work in the fuel cell industry and the claims of this project are absurd. NJ is funding the research. It takes more electricy to seprate H20 than we can get from...
