Its intellectually dishonest for atheists to use scientific information to refute the bible. The reason I say this is because they ignore historical or scientific accurracies as well as the entire theme of the bible and the very essence attributed to the God of the bible. Historically, such a large portion of the bible as well as the characters in the bible are verifiable that only special pleading could deny its authenticity. Its authentic and true to each era it addresses. If one were to make a sincerely honest attempt to test science against what the bible really reveals, they'd understand that the God revealed in the bible is a myterious god. That he is a hidden god. That he is a transcendent god and so on. Once they understand the entire theme of the bible, then they would be more qualified to measure it against any information which can be applied.
Whether moral, theological, philosophical or scientific. One historical consistancy regarding the God of the bible is that he is hidden. You even see how people in the bible didn't believe, even after witnessing miracles such as the parting of the Red Sea or the raising of Lazeurus. So we already expect that scientific evidence would fail in demonstrating, in an absolute sense, the hidden God. Yet evolutionists attribute this hiddenness to evidence for nature and natural evolution. Creationists are caught between a rock and a hard place because they know that God is hidden and they are limited in their criteria of reasoning his existence beyond faith based belief.
It appears intelligent design would be their best argument, however an intelligence attributed to this vast universe and the diverse creation would perhaps be too complex or intelligent to identify. Hence, we have vague but general evidence. But however vague, the apparant ordered materialization and function of atoms and chemicals and the completed products do declare a very very complex and unfathomable order of things (note that undecillions of atoms all emanate from electronic charges and work in harmonious ways to bring about the whole of the universality, of galaxies, of solar systems, of stars, of planets, of ecologies, of life, of advanced life). That's amazing evidence even though its somewhat undemonstrable.
So there's a dishonesty in where scientists or at least atheists claim to have the qualifying criteria for discerning whether or not the god of the bible exists. Because there is no historical evidence, no scientific evidence, no rational evidence for which to conclude that the god of the bible does not exist or did not create this universe. They want demonstrable absolutes. In demanding such proof, they reject the faith based criteria and criteria of discernment using common reason to respond to God on his terms. Atheism is rejection of faith, and any criteria used to support atheism or refute creationism, whether it be theological, philosophical, historical or scientific, would fail to do so absolutely or convincingly, as evolutionism does. Its this "lie" about what nature and other evidences really reveal, which is used as an excuse or to substantiate unresponsiveness to faith. It's smoke and mirror mentality and it can be quite convincing at times. Is it all concocted with the Devil's wicked influence? You betcha!
Isn't it amazing just how many pitchers are enjoying unexpected success in the early going this 2008 major league baseball season? I mean you have Cliff Lee, Gavin Floyd, Andy Sonnanstine, Joe Saunders, Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum combining for a 25-4 record. What gives? Well, what gives is that every season there are new faces emerging into the elite status of pitching. However, expect some if not all of these players to come back down to earth a bit. At least to let us know they are human. But one thing is for certain, every season produces a new breed of exciting baseball players, and in Cliff Lee's case, comeback players.
Barrack "Hussein" Obama will be the nominee for the democratic party. Its just a matter of time before Hillary Rodham Clinton folds up her tent. I was wondering whether or not Hillary would use her success in key democratic states as an excuse to run as an independent in the upcoming election. However, money just won't be there. She's better off dropping out soon, getting behind Obama and hoping he loses so that she can make a run in 2012 against McCain or another republican candidate.
I'm getting sick and tired of reading about seperation of church and state arguments when it comes to Christian symbols or prayer in public places. Yet, Muslims and Jews, especially Muslims, are allowed to pray in public and even get special privledges because of their faith. I believe its all a combination of bias against the true religion, Catholicism (and it's Christian branches), political catering to special interest Jews and pondering to Muslims out of subconcious fear of future punishment (ie future attacks).
And speaking of biased views. Nothing has been more blatant an abuse of human intelligence than the natural evolution theory. The entire evolution database has been built on a godless premise and pieced together by special pleading regarding just where each bit of evidence fits in the wouldbe godless scenario. Well, the special pleading really comes in from the outset, abiogensis. There is no possible way that proteins, without any direction, could come together all at once (due to reproductive barriers) and just suddenly form a complex organism (correlating cell structures housing a dna or rna biofeedback system) all capable of either copying itself or reproducing. Yep. I got it. NOT.
