Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostNon-responsive. You made up a belief and pointed out the problems with that.
If what you wrote doesn't sufficiently describe your actual belief then maybe you should elaborate on the details (such as the nature of these "long undefined periods of time" - are they consecutive? Parallel? Intermittent? Overlapping? Decades/centuries/millennia/billennia/trillennia? Ongoing? Purely historical? Differentiable? Discrete? Dissimilar?), rather than repeatedly dismissing all responses as being irrelevant while never explaining why. Your evasiveness to date is wholly consistent with you not actually having any beliefs capable of surviving even the skimpiest scrutiny, and frantically failing to hide that fact.

RoyOriginally posted by Jedidiah View PostIf God created things in the same time frame as we see expressed in the geological, and fossil record none of this has any bearing on the issue. Because it does not gibe with your chosen interpretation of Genesis is completely irrelevant. If God gave us both creation and scripture they will not disagree if understood correctly.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

I have done my best to be honest and open. If you think I lack integrity I am sorry. I do not even know where this accusation comes from. If you care to explain, go ahead. If you are simply being unpleasant I guess I am done. No one even tried to answer anyway.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

It continued when you ignored this thread until shunya suckered you in.
It continued further when you repeatedly brushed off my attempt to answer with an empty claim and no details whatsoever.
It went on when you were asked to clarify your meaning and didn't, and again when you chose to use an obvious typo as an excuse to imply that the mistyper might be ignorant.
It continued again when you elicited specific questions and simply ignored them.
It continued to continue when you referred to an understanding of scripture that is consistent with scientific evidence, yet declined not only to describe that understanding but even say whether you knew it. I suspect you don't, which raises another problem: if it is your position that there is an understanding of scripture that is consistent with the scientific evidence, then your quote in the OP is asking for something you believe cannot exist, rejecting all attempts to provide it because that's impossible, and then complaining that no-one has answered.
It then continued when you claimed I had made false assumptions but refused to identify them, and that I had missed something you had written earlier but refused to say what. Then you ignored further requests for clarification and some more direct questions concerning your meaning.
Finally, it came to this:No one even tried to answer anyway.

Finally, it came to this:I tried to answer. If I failed, it's primarily because you repeatedly refused to clarify your meaning, and secondarily because you repeatedly rejected my attempts without giving even the slightest clue as to why. But whether I succeeded or not, my posts #2 and #29 in this thread are definitely and obviously attempts to answer (you even acknowledged post #2 as such in your post #15) and your final comment above is a big fat lie.

Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostI did not ask my question in a forum no evolutionist was allowed to post. I made a complaint in such a forum about having asked such a question in the past. I ignored the thread because it seemed not to have any responsive posts. You obviously feel differently.
What are the questions that remain unanswered?Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Originally posted by Jedidiah View PostMy understanding is exactly the same as the majority with one exception - I make one less assumption; I do not add in the requirement that there be a purely material explanation for what we see in the fossil record. Where others, including Theistic Evolutionists, see evolution in action I see the fiat creative action of God. Everything is exactly the same otherwise.
According to my understanding spelled out in the quote above how would you tell the difference?Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
