Re: Omniculpability = Omniscience + Omnipotence

From Leibniz's Theodicy , where he speaks of Bayle on Calvin: 'The ears of some are offended when one says that God willed it. But I ask you, what else is the permission of him who is entitled to forbid, or rather who has the thing in his own hands , but an act of will?' The difficulty is not omnisc...

Set 'em up, Joe! Four fingers of Redbreast for me, and whatever you are having.

Ye Olde Skepticke his Prognostickations & Foretellings

That time has come again, wherein we gaze into the events of the coming year ...

I'll start.

Occam's Razor will again be worn down to a stub, and we shall have to club together to get him a new one.

Repetition will continue as the most popular method of strengthening a case.

Re: Science Disproves Evolution

Alan, The Bible doesn't say explicitly that the universe is 6000 years old. However, By calculating the chronology of all the characters starting from Adam to Jesus and adding on 2000 years gives us approximately 6000 years. Many Biblical scholars have have arrived at the same conclusion. For examp...

The article starts off with an evidence free assumption [...] You seem to be using that phrase as the the Psalmist uses Selah or the sub-Shakespearean jester uses Hey nonny nonny : because the audience hasn't heard it for a while, or perhaps because nonsense must be promoted to doggerel.

The foot prints are viable as proved by scientists. What about the other evidence I provided proving men and dinosaurs lived together. Viable ? I take it you mean valid. Anyway, nothing you assert has been proved. Proof requires the careful step-by-step testing so obviously lacking here. I can only...

Creationists will go to any lengths to pass off camp-fire stories as fact.

The point of the criticism I quoted is that the " testing" was at best inept bungling. At worst, it is the work of con-men.

Historical inaccuracy: In Genesis, there is mention of Abraham's servant travelling by camel. According to Biblical chronology, this was around the 2nd millennium BCE. However, the evidence is that the camel was not domesticated until about 1000 years after this. (This is a rare case of the Bible c...
