Good article, although I don't hold the young-earth creationist view.

I think the question should be, 'Whos God' not 'does God' exist.

Thump on.

I don't buy it. It's fundimentalism denying science and the real world.

Not all athiests are pro-abortion or morally corrupt.

The bible claims the world only existed for the past 4000 years. Yet the chinese have been around for 5000 years. But then they weren't known to the bible writers at the time.

Actually - the Biblical timeline for Earth-age is 6000 years....

Did they change it to allow for chinese civilization? It was always purported by the fundies that the world was create about 4000 years ago based on the begats.

The world is more than 4 billion years old. There was never a flood that covered the whole world. There's not that much water on the planet to do that even if you melt the polar caps.

I've been a christian for nearly 30 years, and I've never heard people claiming a 'hard' number like "4000 years". News to me.

Frankly, the notion the world is BILLIONS of years old seems silly to me, however.

I'm kind of confused as to why the need for so many of these types of threads. People believe what they're going to believe, and hopefully everyone is comfortable with his or her beliefs. Also, last time I checked, this was a pretty secular board.

Not trying to be mean here, but I kinda don't get it.

I don't mind discussing the religious stuff here. As long as it doesn't degrade to name calling. I don't expect to change anyones mind anymore than they can expect to change mine. And as long as it remains in the religions thread.

It's called religious fundamentalism Jillian. They try and convert you with their own brand of gobbledegook. Let them have their say. Doesn't really matter what type of board it is, its' good to know who's who...

I rarely post in religious threads, but I've gotta say this is silly. I witness conversations taking place not attempted conversions.

Yeah... but I keep thinking that on a new board, people are gonna see, not one, not two, but like three threads on this stuff at the top and go :eek2:

Are you guys suprised that topics of religion are posted in a forum titled Religion/Ethics?
