Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire You call this science? 2 billion year error?

As a christian why don't you be true and live up to your word and stop reading and replying to my posts.

If I can demonstrate that something posted is untrue, then I'll call it out as bullshit.

But I wasn't there when the stories of the Bible occurred.

Only Ingwe was.

Go bother him.

so there are things you 'dont believe' and then there are things you consider BS.

what you don't believe may in fact be total BS , but you cant be sure...

so you defer to simply not believing rather than calling it BS.

Parables for what? What is the creation account, God created the heavens and the earth, a parable for? What is the ressurection story, etc, etc, a parable for?

Well, what you just posted is bullshit, and I'm sure.

And, something can be true, and *still* be bullshit.

But the bullshit you post, is just bullshit.

Ive never heard the virgin birth or resurrection and ascension as being considered merely parables.

To christians those events actually took place just as described, ..Christians don't base their faith on parables.

Excellent,thank you.

What you've "heard of" isn't an argument for or against anything.

They might have happened, or might not, no one alive knows.

But even if they *were* parables, they communicate concepts that, if accepted, can change a person's behavior in what society at large would consider a positive way.

Which could be, but does not *have* to be, the way the Bible can be interpreted.

As to defining the age of the universe, how much accuracy would you demand of the answer?

How many significant digits do you expect?

Do you understand the definition of significant digits? This is how scientists communicate information. The number itself defines the accuracy of the estimate. So when a number such as 1.37 times ten to the tenth is written, one knows the error is expected to be in the order of hundreds of millions of years. A rational person understands the concept of estimates and corrections as data is refined.

Modern and future studies may refine estimates to as low as 1.0 times ten to the tenth, or perhaps as high as 1.6 times ten to the tenth. But that does nothing to invalidate the science behind the estimates.

Those doing the laughing at science are the bigger fools.

What exactly does a creation story and a God that created the universe and all that goes with it convey to us as a parable?

Yeah right. Einstein's special relativity was universally accepted and Einstein lauded the week after it was published.

Relatively has stood the test of time and review. Faith is held regardless of problems.

hilarious from someone who doesnt even have a clue from where your Catholic faiths canonical age law originated or when such
law was implemented...nor can any of the other babbling head CF christians pinpoint such age in the Bible.

and you are same christian that claims God is beyond 3D time and space realm , in complete contradiction to scripture.
and the same christian that claims the calamities of Job were natural and not moral..again in complete contradiction to scripture.

but You can just throw all that in the too hard basket and just keep believing 'what ever you want' ..as you yourself have suggested.

what is the reason you don't believe in such events taken as FACT by christians?

(iF one don't believe 'He has Risen' then a person don't cut it as a christian pure and simple.
believing the resurrection can be reduced to mere parable also don't cut it)

and for to you to suggest they could be mere parables rather than fact, is kind of cheapening or ridiculing the basis of christian faith,
but feel free to go all coy and into denial.

That is so wrong I wouldn't know where to start. But you're impervious to rational argument anyway, switching to ad hominem attacks when things don't go your way. Keep on trolling.

Simply reminding you of what you have posted in the past are not attacks.

and rational logical folk would be able to pinpoint the origin and history behind the canonical laws of the Roman catholic church they belong to.








Ad hominem?...lol...

desperate over sensitive Christians falsely assuming victim status at the drop of a hat ..nothing new about that.

Rational arguments are supported by evidence.

DBT,...Well just like you have said (words to the effect) Christians manage to weave a tangled web for themselves.

IF its not Bible contradicting Bible , being ambiguous or simply void of sufficient information, then Its christians in denial or contradicting Bible scripture,
....and/or ducking ,weaving, distracting, fabricating (any or all) as may conveniently suite.

When such discussions come up on the CF, there's usually a circus clown car that the theological minded types poor out of.

Good example, that's Metaphysics 101, pure logic, which you can't or won't understand.

As far as your contention that God created evil I tried explaining the error in that statement with a metaphysical argument and a translational argument which was supported by numerous sources from a variety of denominations. All I got from you was a restatement that God created evil. Felt kinda like banging my head against a wall but maybr somebody reading along got it. You seem to think your interpretation of scripture is right and all other interpretations are wrong and not worthy of consideration.

And now I'm told that conventional scientific thought is all wrong and not supported by the evidence. What the hell does the scientific community as a whole think matter anyway if it doesn't fit your agenda.

Speaking of evidence, I supplied you with evidence that God exists. You simply ignored it because it's inconvenient and because the evidence does not constitute an ontological proof. Ignoring that theologically an ontological proof is not possible.

You cant even explain away your earthly catholic canonical law, but you attempt metaphysics.

do you own a clown suit or just rent one?

why does scripture have to be so complex and convoluted for some christians?



but you are not discussing, since you straight out told told me and others that they are in error.

Why
