In other news, Freddie Mercury was gay!

Post by Gawdzilla Sama » Thu Oct 21, 2010 1:23 pm

Are we at all surprised?

Category: Creationism

I have to commend him on his honesty:William Dembski has come right out and plainly said that he believes in a 'literal' interpretation of the bible, and that his god actually created the earth in 6 days culminating in the conjuring into existence of Adam and Eve.
In writing The End of Christianity today, I would also underscore three points: (1) As a biblical inerrantist, I accept the full verbal inspiration of the Bible and the conventional authorship of the books of the Bible. Thus, in particular, I accept Mosaic authorship of Genesis (and of the Pentateuch) and reject the Documentary Hypothesis. (2) Even though I introduce in the book a distinction between kairos (God's time) and chronos (the world's time), the two are not mutually exclusive. In particular, I accept that the events described in Genesis 1- 11 happened in ordinary space-time, and thus that these chapters are as historical as the rest of the Pentateuch. (3) I believe that Adam and Eve were real people, that as the initial pair of humans they were the progenitors of the whole human race, that they were specially created by God, and thus that they were not the result of an evolutionary process from primate or hominid ancestors. (William A. Dembski)"
So, yes, he is an honest lunatic.

I wonder if he'll be coming out with a mathy book dissecting the likelihood of that particular scenario?

Along these same lines, take a look at the program for this creationist conference, Vibrant Dance, which purports to bring together religion and science. It's all church groups and old school creationists and gibbering nitwits like Dinesh D'Souza and, of course, the Discovery Institute gang, all wallowing in Jebusism.

Oh, and just for another non-surprise, look who else is represented in the program: BioLogos.

I have occasionally wondered why God took six days to do it. Being omnipotent and all he could have done it in one. Or an instant come to that.

Lazy workmanship if you ask me.

It was one day to create the universe, but five days waiting for the bits and bobs to arrive from the warehouse. :hehe:

And why did he have to rest on the 7th? God gets tired! Hardly a perfect omniscient being!
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

...and a waste of time discussing. I mean, anyone who not only rejects evolution, but also apparently accepts that some god thingy fashioned Eve from one of Adam's ribs while he was sleeping...

Nor would he have needed a day of rest when he was done. Softcock. :irate:

You're right, I'm duly chastised for wasting our valuable discussion time on Dembski. Mea culpa.

That was an excellent start. Needs to gather momentum, though.

Then we can debate geocentrists,

followed by flat-earthers.

Fucking hell. We humans are progressing, yes? Somehow?

Please say yes,

and start a thread on it.

We need some good news.
