"Lean not on thine own understanding", Prov. 3: 5. What does this mean but do not think for yourselves ? If we didn't lean on our own understanding we wouldn't have made all the progress we have, automobiles, air travel, space flight, modern medicine, the internet. We'd all still be in the dark ages if we didn't lean on our own understanding. If we didn't lean on our own understanding we wouldn't have these computers that we all find so useful that you all apparently like to use.

you say you believe in God but you say you believe in the big bang?? make up your mind. You are confusing people. Where do you stand? what do you believe? who do you believe in?? what is the name of your god?

THAT IS GREAT! I can just picture two monkies now, they would be geniuses after a billion/million years.

silentrascal disagrees: Your credibility is likewise shot

I feel bad for you. I was pointing out the hypocrisy in your comment about someone's credibility and you resort to character assassination. While you attacked another's credibilty, your argument was that the person was not an expert and therefore not credible because they were not present at the writing. This would make everyone posting not credible, including yourself, because we were not present for the translating. Character assassination is a low blow. I will not reply to any more of this type of post from you.

Haha, my bad, I get silentrascal and tatertot mixed up all the time. Same messages and delivery I guess. Sorry about that.

Everyone accepts the big bang theory, even christians. Christians believe it was the moment God said, "Let there be light".

Deist:

first off , I want to reassure you about the Christian reconstructionists. I am not one of them.
You may even consider me a fundamentalist, if so, Romans 13 should help alay your fears.


As to the Big Bang Theory, how does that not violate the first law of thermodynamics?

Even avowed atheists like Crick, of Dna double helix fame, had to come up with another even more improbable and theory, panspermia, that is less likely to be been proven than God or evolution.
Crick discovered the complexity of Dna and as a scientist could not explain how evolution would account for this.


then ther is proteonomics
Proteomics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"E.g., in human there are about 25 000 identified genes but an estimated >500 000 proteins that are derived from these genes. This increased complexity derives from mechanisms such as alternative splicing, protein modification (glycosylation,phosphorylation) and protein degradation."

Now if the origin of DNA cannot be explained or experimentally reproduced how can the origin of ribosomes, mrna, amino acids interacting in a cell be proved or reproduced?



Now I understand the argument that science wil eventually come up with the answers and that is logical, but to say that,

Christians with a science background, like myself, are just not thinking about all this and blindly accept what their spoon fed from childhood is not a correct statement.
I see the evidence of a "God" in all this.

I welcome your questions and your opinions, it stimulates me from my complacency in my faith to explore it further.

Thank You





Grace and peace

Where do you get this nonsense? I do not know any Christians who feel this way. This is about extremism. However I had heard of groups who think Christains ought to die.
