“Sharon Price: There are plenty of scientists who believe in a young earth.”
Are any of them geologists who have published evidence in their specialty, in an actual journal?
I mean, no one cares if a laser engineer believes in a Young Earth. It’s not his speciality, and doesn’t interfere with his work.
There are Biologists who accept evolution because they have to see all the evidence for it and understand it. They just take Genesis as metaphor.
"Unfortunately, our secular society discredits and ostracises them.”
No, we just keep asking for the evidence.
Which they don’t offer.
"It is important for a Christian to know if the Bible is the Truth... if it is not 100% true, where does truth begin?”
Truth is not a science issue. Facts are. Begin with the actual facts.
"Also, as Jesus spoke of Genesis as truth, for the Christian not to believe in literal Genesis, means they can’t trust Jesus.”
Truth =/= Literal.
" but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
DO you? You’re dismissing physical evidence, not because of problems with their methodology, but because then YOUR interpretation of scripture has to change. Maybe god made fossils so that YOU would see the error of taking Genesis literally?
"To discredit any part of the scriptures is to discredit God.”
Bit of a leap from saying god spoke in parables to saying god told lies, huh?
"I am so shocked to see so called Christians happy to dismiss scriptures.”
They’re not They dismiss YOUR take on the scriptures they use to reach God through.
“ They don't realise how detrimental it is.”
I think they do. They’re willing to tell you to fuck off.
"what is at stake is the entire veracity of scripture from page one onwards, yet some on here who claim to be Christians and therefore should have a great interest in its truthfulness, not only feel that this is a trifling matter which we shouldn’t be discussing, but vigorously defend what is basically a pagan atheistic philosophy dressed up in scientific garb,”
What a horrible sentence. Horrible lies and horribly constructed.
“which the Bible does not in any way support,”
If i said that the parable was TRUTHFULNESS, but not LITERALLY HISTORICAL, would you say i’m not Christain?
I’m not, but i used to be, and this was how many parts were explained to me.
The ‘fall’ refers to man’s CAPACITY for sin, not temptation games with an apple.
"and furthermore neither does true science.”
You know nothing about the science.
" Also look up on YouTube, “Dam Bursting” to see the evolutionary theories on the Grand Canyon taking millions of years to form, being destroyed.”
I’m gonna guess, here, that ‘destroyed’ is grossly exaggerating the efficacy of the video.
" Mt St Helens eruption to discredit the radio carbon dating.”
REALLY?!?! They used Carbon Dating to age the ROCSK and ASH that came out of the volcano?
DOOOOOO Tell.
“They’ve also tested a newly dead seal, and various body parts registered various ridiculous ages.”
And what do the physicists say in response to that?
“There are literally thousands of real life examples, secular scientists don’t bother to make public,”
Because they’re bullshit, same as when people try to get out of a traffic ticket by showing that a ringnign phone reads as doing 90mpph on a radar gun.
Courts won’t allow these demonsrations any more as they were proven to be bullshit in the 70s. But people still try to bring it up.
"as the only alternative is the absolute truth of the bible.”
Disproving science does not prove the bible.
