| Even science operates based on things we assume. There's no way we can prove the reliability of our senses, or that the natural laws will always stay how they are. Science can't even prove or disprove your claim that we can only know things through scientific inquiry. That's a philosophical claim.A... |

| I don't believe the author of the creation account was concerned with science. Instead the author was concerned with telling the reader that there is one God who created everything and that we are created in His image. So was this account written by god, and if so why did he lie, thereby causing so... |

| You just said God cannot lie, so it's not true that God can do anything that's possible. God lying is impossible. God is all-powerful, but God is also perfect and unchanging. God doing something that is not consistent with His perfect, unchanging character is impossible. If He did, He would cease t... |

| I'm a Christian who accepts the theory of evolution. I can understand where young earth creationists are coming from, but I really don't think Genesis was meant to be scientific. The thing that scares me most is how dogmatic they can be about it. You can disagree with them about interpretation of pr... |

| NO evidence is quite the absolute claim, you must be all-knowing. I think a more reasonable statement is, "From what I've seen, I'm not convinced there is a God." From my perspective, I see an orderly universe, beauty in nature, and our own consciousness as good reasons to believe in God, among man... |

| Christian theologians as a group are quite prone to misunderstanding things. Well, they're human and no field of inquiry is perfect. Some biblical quotes: Luke 1:37(KJV) "For with God nothing shall be impossible" Matthew 19:26 "with God all things are possible" In order to justify your position in ... |

| Can God create a rock that he can't lift? Can God make it rain and not rain at the same time? Can God make 2 + 2 = 5? No, God can't do any of those things. God's omnipotence (all-powerful things) doesn't mean He can do everything we can think of. For instance, Hebrews 6:18 says it's impossible for ... |

| Or is it just people who believe they are God ? I don't think so. I think because of different perspectives and worldviews, people will interpret evidence differently. Some might look at the universe and see pointlessness, while others will see order and beauty. There are many great scientists and ... |

| Not all of us do. Christians who are hostile toward evolution think the creation account in Genesis should be interpreted as a literal, historical, account. Many other Christians don't interpret Genesis like that for various reasons. I don't believe the author of the creation account was concerned w... |
