OldNavy,
Do you have good reasons for believing the things you believe when it comes to your claims about creation?

My personal beliefs regarding Creation may be unique. The reasons are all good as they take into account the troubles of mankind; the suffering; the tribulations; the bloodshed; the abuse and all that is bad. Those who have suffered much will be rewarded much. Those who have caused suffering will be judged much as they are changed. Love will conquer all. -

Well, "expand" them, at any rate. (With assistance from hard drugs.)

OldNavy: Hitting that dratted wall is humiliating and humbling. You will know it when you too smack into it.
Yeah. All I see on this thread is you hitting your head up against a wall that you have made for yourself
"The Wall" is your own mind
Open it and learn something

Vidiot,
That captures the essence of the experience quite nicely.
Orphan Crow,
Aye, it is in the mind.
Tell us how your mind reacts to it when you encounter
it. It is all good when the dust settles.

I haven't found the wall yet
I realized a long time ago that god is simply a human concept that restricts my mind from learning
My mind has no wall and I don't expect to ever find it obstructed with that concept again

Old Navy,
You and people like you are the very reason I turned from being indifferent to Christianity to being hateful of it. The combination of ignorance and arrogance are usually not seen together in the fields of science, but in fundamentalist Christianity is the rule with no exceptions.

If anybody is wondering whether those who reject evolution might have something interesting to say they would be very disappointed by your contribution Old Navy.
Dozens of posts and not even one single attempt to present any evidence. When I was a creationist I knew nothing about science but at least I knew how to ask difficult questions.

Scientific biological evolution is never going to offer me redemption from my sins or put me into heaven with god when I pass on so what good is it to me ?
I've got all the information I need from the bible of how everything began and why everything exists.
If god didn't want that information in the bible for mankind to know then he wouldn't have put it there.

The evidence is all around us. In every direction. If you're not able to "see" it now, for whatever reason, that "blindness" is only temporary. Again, that many believe in Evolution does not bother me. There is nothing really wrong with such temporary beliefs as they are in keeping with the Scientific Method which is still operative on many fronts. We haven't reached the end of this trail yet.

Not arrogance but confidence that ALL will be helped (or made) to "see" what they are presently "blinded" to by internal conflict. It is true that many have been turned away from and developed hatred for what they see as Christianity; perhaps rightfully so. The witnesses certainly do not have a monopoly on corruption and cult indoctrination. There is an explanation for this within The Word.
You'll have to expand further upon what you mean by "the combination of ignorance and arrogance."
The story of humankind upon Planet Earth is full of trouble but hasn't yet reached the conclusion of this phase of our existence. What is coming will be very, very good. You will be a happy camper, as we all will, when that time comes.
