Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

Infant baptism was the norm for the majority of Church fathers and throughout Church history and for most protestant reformers. Doesn't mean it's right, and an appeal to the masses is considered a logical fallacy in formal debate. As for Martin Luther, he took issue with the leading science of his d...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

Thanks Singalphile for your post, you made a lot of good points. It doesn't necessarily seem very odd to me. Do you think those things might serve some purpose? My point was, it seems most appropriate to consider ice core samples and light-year distance to be actual measurements of time. Thus, 80 th...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

Hi Si, If God implies that the causation of creation is via miracles, not natural processes, why is it so difficult to accept this fundamental attribute of God’s work? In other words, if God said He spoke all these things into immediate existence, science’s starting point begins with the natural pr...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

Thanks for your reply Dwight. In my response I reordered a few of the things you said to group them by topic, to help me respond in a more concise way. As far as I can tell, there is no place in scripture where God, assuming it is God's word, speaks symbolically unless it is: 1) Identified as such, ...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

How so? I have yet to see an example that's explained better by evolution than by OEC (and some are actually explained better by OEC). Can you provide one? My impression is quite the opposite: OEC in general, and Hugh Ross in particular, correlate and explain both science and Scripture such that ne...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

The other apologetic is to harmonize modern science with scripture, which made a whole lot of sense to me, and I found that I no longer had any excuse. Would you mind explaining why you chose theistic evolution rather than old-earth creationism? The latter seems to me to be a better fit with both s...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

I appreciate you returning "to the table". If I am using tactics, I am unaware of it. I'm just being myself. However,I understand what you say I am doing, and I would like to make a concerted effort to stop. I am glad we could come to an understanding Dwight, because the rest of your post below is ...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

Dwight, I hope we can come to an understanding, but honestly I am growing frustrated with the tactics you use to debate this issue. I would sure like to have a conversation, but a conversation requires a give and take where we respect one another. I made a post specifically addressing the issues you...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

Dwight, You didn't provide a single counter argument when you quoted the first post I made in this thread, you just got on your high horse and pontificated about how you interpret the early chapters of Genesis and said I don't believe the Bible, but something that contradicts it. If you want to resp...

Re: Do you agree with the Ark Encounter?

And the Bible teaches that Adam and Eve had no ancestors, but that they were created in God's image on the 6th day of creation. It also teaches that any ancestor of today's chimps were not made in God's image, but were created animals and remain animals today. Man, however, never was an animal and ...
