• This is a new section being rolled out to attract people interested in exploring the origins of the universe and the earth from a biblical perspective. Debate is encouraged and opposing viewpoints are welcome to post but certain rules must be followed. 1. No abusive tagging - if abusive tags are found - they will be deleted and disabled by the Admin team 2. No calling the biblical accounts a fable - fairy tale ect. This is a Christian site, so members that participate here must be respectful in their disagreement.

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

This is just wrong. Women are less able to excell at math, but they are in general more than competent at logic and science.
It is males doing a weak job attacking evolution. I used to wipe the floors with evolutionists trying to make their case here. Y'all barely holding your own lately
Them's fighting words. :D

We haven't had a vigorous defense of evolution here for a long time.
Who's going to debate? Even Dawkins now admits maybe God was involved, just not the God of the Bible. Poor fellow is still under delusions about God.

Richard Dawkins: I can't be sure God does not exist​


The deluded guy does not know what to believe. He formerly insisted God does not exists, based on the fact he felt no obligation to prove he was right about that.


In The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator, God, almost certainly does not exist, and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion, which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence.

Dawkins is one of the proudest pompous deluded fools ever to walk the planet. He does not know the first thing about God and yet parades himself as some kind of expert. He is an idiot - not an expert. Here is a quote from his own book about his delusions about God:

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

You know what he sounds like don't you? He sounds like a petulant child who is being punished for something that he was caught doing, something that he knew he shouldn't have been doing and is venting his frustration over that punishment by kicking and screaming about how Mommy and Daddy are mean to him.

He's an immature little baby. And as such he is very appealing to the leftist mind.

:LOL:

User Name -- only ever posts links
Arthur Brain -- knows nothing about the scientific method
Rusha and Anna -- are girls
quip -- who?
JonahDog -- :LOL:
Town Heretic -- appeals to authority (and is dead*)
The Barbarian -- died** "with" COVID-19
Skeeter -- has shown his hand

*/** Euphemism for banned
Well, TH isn't banned, euphemistically or otherwise.
User Name uses links for sure (who doesn't) but debates with commentary also.
Rusha & Anna are women, so at least you got their gender right I suppose...
I'm familiar with the scientific method thanks, it's why I'd never be so dumb as to call the theory of evolution a "cult".
Your "barb" about Barb is just kinda pathetic but hey, why change the habit of a lifetime?
Other than that, wow, what a great post!

No way. My evidence is personal experience, plus an article of faith, that women, men and intersex people are all human beings, and human beings are almost basically "wired" for logic. The uniformly agreed-to goal of science is to avoid being illogical in the pursuit of knowledge. The only way that human beings can function as biochemical organisms is if we are almost basically "wired" logically. This organization extends to our brains. Training in logic is natural and for all those who aren't obstinate, it is possible to bring our minds into better conformity with logic. There is no limit to what a woman can do logically, just the same for men and intersex people.

And ... whoops. I just noticed that all you're saying right now is that women tend to be somewhat less logical than the average man. So that's not at all what I was responding to----my bad! Sheepish.
Why on earth would you think that women tend to be less logical than the average man or agree with anyone who's dumb enough to posit such?

Even Stripe should know that TH hasn't been banned on here, wishful thinking on his part.
If he's not banned, he's as good as.

I take it all back. You're here now.

Who knows why anybody does anything online? And I do not grant what you're suggesting I did.

Anti-God hedonism is a theological position taken by rebels against God whose dedication to secularism is cult-like.
