Pointless, worthless and not needed. Believe or don't on your own decision. Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #1
Thanks for the rave review! onager Feb 2012 #4
Thought I was agreeing with you. Oh well..... Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #6
What does "on your own decision" have to do with any of this? Silent3 Feb 2012 #9
You are talking about your post, right? cleanhippie Feb 2012 #10
I think that Kurmudgeon was referring to the Genesis Veracity Foundation, not to anyone's post. LeftishBrit Feb 2012 #74
I'm not convinced. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #77

C'mon, even if you're a creationist, it's clear that this site was created by an insane person. DCKit Feb 2012 #5
I already stated I thought the site was bunk. Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #7
Given your eloquent reply, I'm not (and never) going to fight with you. DCKit Feb 2012 #8

Gen 1:25-27 and 2:18-22 cannot both be true. Hence one disproves the other. nt dmallind Feb 2012 #15
Give it a rest. Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #20
And YOU keep claiming that your version is actually "contemporary theology.", darkstar3 Feb 2012 #21
You'd be better served answering the actual literal challenge then, surely? dmallind Feb 2012 #23
Of course! Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #24
How are they NOT here when we were challenged to disprove a Genesis creation story HERE? dmallind Feb 2012 #25

It is a pretty wide jump to get that out of #3 Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #28

Fair enough... LeftishBrit Feb 2012 #75
Wonderful. jeepnstein Feb 2012 #14
Why should we be spending time and effort kicking at a straw man? Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #16
Because a sizeable plurality if not outright majority of believers take this crap seriously dmallind Feb 2012 #17
You bet we should! Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #18
And when they just look blankly in return, can we converse on their level then? dmallind Feb 2012 #19
