The two creation stories in Genesis can easily be reconciled when you recognise that the early parts of the bible are fully polytheistic. The writer of Genesis, Exodus, Numbers etc does not question the reality of the other nations' gods. Gen 1 talks about the "elohim" in the plural. Apologists...

With all the noise the Christians are making about ID, Creationism, etc. I thought it would be interesting to have a look at other creation myths. I'll start with this one: http://www.kamat.com/kalranga/prani/animals.htm Feel free to post other creation myths.

I rembered a thing that I heard back when I was a Christian, I guess it was six or more years ago. "It takes less faith to believe God created everything than that it just happened." Obviously they're ignorant and don't know what they're talking about, but did you catch the kicker? "It takes...

If scientists can prove the evolution is a process that takes place then you can challenge creationists with the question, "why would God interfere when there is already a perfectly good process of creation at his disposal?" They say he gives humans freewill, then perhaps for the same reason...

This reads like a parody of Creationism, but apparently it's entirely serious... frightening. (Sorry if this has already been posted, I'm new here) http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41977

http://www.creationscience.com/ This site seems to wrap Creation Science in a scientific wrapper so it looks like Creation Science is a viable science. Can anyone expose any wrong conclusions they make? And back up why it's wrong? They seem to list a lot of references to back up a lot of...

What's the best hardware / software combo to take all my digi cam photos (mostly JPEG) and movies (mostly AVI) and compose them on a DVD, (slide / movie show kinda thing) so as to send to relatives who lack computers (and/or sufficient computer skills), but have DVD player? I've only used Toast...

Long time, no see, folks. Just had to drop this one on you... This chart says it all (job number fluctuations are in percentage per year)...

Hi again, I´m just back from a Tutorial session on Microeconomics. TOday´s topic: the Irrationalist Perception Theory (not sure about translation), as proposed by David Hume. (Wondering what this has to do with Evolution vs. Creation? Don´t hurry, I´ll get there) This theory says that...

Is all that delicious, sweet, juicy pulp necessary in the procreation of that fruit plant? Why? Only by knowing the answer to this can we surmise whether or not the fruit was put here for animals to use as one of their means of sustinance, or, if it is truly necessary for the reproduction of...

I wrote up a layman's explanation for both the Big Bang and Evolution, (the two ideas religious folks have the MOST trouble with). If anybody gives enough of a crap, I would really appreciate some input, (i.e. did I miss anything, would some other example have better made my point, should I...

This is one of the better criticisms of creation science I have found. This excerpt from Peter J. Bowler’s Evolution: The history of an idea (1989, pp 358-360).

I was given a .com url for my birthday. Which was lovely but I don't know the first thing about creating a web site. Advice, tips, hosting, idiot instructions needed please. Whistler. Forgotten to add on. I'd like to do a community forum web site. If possible that is?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29972-2004Jan19.html Maybe this should be in religion...I note that academic geologists have objected. This seems like a political agenda of the Christian right.

Looks like some kids did some great projects: award winning projects include "M Uncle is not a Monkey" and "Women Were Designed For Homemaking" http://objective.jesussave.us/creationsciencefair.html This certainly is funny. Maybe some of those kids would like to apply for the JREF $1 million...

More hilarity here :wink8:

Fellowship Baptist Creation Science Fair 2001: From the site. Please tell me this is a parody site.

Creation Science Fair The above thread is on the Science board, but I think it is applicable here as well.

http://objective.jesussave.us/creationsciencefair.html Wow....a whole hunk o' good science goin' on! :eek: :eek:

Marvel Frozen posted about an AOL poll, I would be interested in the results of a similar poll on here. While I did not see the original poll, I have added one or 2 extra options to it to give a greater choice than simply yes or no. For the record, I belive in Evolution. 1. Creation Theory -...
