As we don't have any creed or dogma to follow, atheists would seem to be to most open-minded.
Well, why stop there. Add the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Alien Abductions, Ghosts, Psychic Powers, Healing Crystals, Ley-Lines, Atlantis, Astrology and Fairies at the bottom of the smegging garden.
Should anybody explain to her that the repertoire she mentions lists some facts which are mutually exclusive?, moreover, that they do so because there are different branches which hold different views?, that evolution is science?
OK, I'm a little confused here, does this make the Christian mind a sieve or a piece of Swiss cheese?
You were doing so well up until the last bit. Also, 'conventional evolution' would be a better phrase for that last item, as it's not so emotionally loaded. Even some Christians would see no problem with conventional evolution, viewing it as simply a natural process, and no more or less of a reflection on God than any other natural process.
A fool with five rocks believes himself wealthier than the man with a single diamond.
Why don't throw in the muslim theories as well, I know they aren't christian but if they are so open minded maybe they would accept some of them. Good, Goods,...
No TRUE Christian would believe in Old Earth Creationism, Progressive Creationism, or Theistic Evolution. See? The narrow Atheistic worldview has already turned you from the true word of the Lord!!!!!!1
Fundies are soooooooo cute when they attempt to use reason and logic to defend their screwed up beliefs. Alas, fundies and reasoning go together like coyotes and anvils.
Theistic evolution
Yes, because I refuse to believe in stuff that is clearly complete nonsense, unlike you.
Young Earth Creationism is as closed minded as you can get. Old Earth and Progressive just say that that God originally fucked up creation and keeps making mistakes, which destroys the idea of a perfect infalliable being. Athiests are okay with thiestic evolution and intellegent desing in YEC in cognito.
Christians entertain all the following theories:
Since some of those are mutually exclusive, you must be referring to more than one Christian. Therefore, no one Christian believes all of those. So it would most likely be that each Christian, like each atheist, picks one single theory to believe, thus making you people no more open minded than any atheist.
Atheists don't believe in evolution, we belive in the scientific method. If ever indications of an intelligent designer comes along, you'll know.
So you have a choice of 5 ways that GODDITIT which are mutually exclusive and have no real evidence for the GODDITIT part.
You are espousing something that is quintuplethink.
"By George" that is amazing!
You are not describing an open mind - you are describing a very well controlled mind! Your pastor will be on the telescreen in a few minutes - hurry or you will find yourself in room 101 where you will have the basics hammered back into you!
Feel that Miniluv!
1: all those theories you just mentioned there are pseudoscience or normal science with 'goddidit' added.
2: there's no such thing as atheistic evolution. it's just evolution.
3: atheists also are interested in, say, every other field of science that does not concern proving your pseudoscience.
From AIG's "Statement of Faith":
"By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record. "
Please explain how rejecting any and all evidence that contradicts your obstinately held viewpoint qualifies as being "open minded". Just so you know, that's the very definition of being "closed-minded".
"Christians entertain all the following theories:"
Anyone that considers those "theories" obviously doesn't know what the scientific definition of the word "theory" is.
Your post very clearly shows you have no clue what the definition of "open-minded" is.
"Theistic evolution" says some god did it using evolution.
Which god? Just yours, or any god? How do you know? The Flying Spaghetti Monster creation myth is just as valid and has just as much evidence as your god's creation myth.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
