i could have sworn we were taught to believe that the earth was no more than 5-7 thousand years old.

"NO EVIDENCE" for God, and creation? Maybe there is . .
by hooberus in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
atheists (however one defines the term) frequently use the term "no evidence" in relation to the existence of god, any type of creation, (especially genesis creation and flood), or most any other theistic claim.

they almost always however claim that their beliefs are "backed by evidence" ; "overwhelming evidence" etc, etc, etc, etc, repeat, etc, repeat, etc.. (their beliefs generally tend to include whatever is necessary to believe in to intellectually "explain" the world without needing god).

is there really "no evidence" for god, and creation?

2. beliefs
what convinced you personally that "the truth" wasn't true after all?

for me, it was several:.

the claim that humans have only been on earth for about 6000 years.. the claim that evolution has not occurred, in the face of overwhelming evidence that it has.. the claim that the bible is inspired by god..

2. bible
awake 2008 jan.p.19 "choosing to play violent and immoral games is like choosing to play with radioactive waste.

the damaging effects may not be immediatley obvious, but they are inevitable.

exposure in high doses of radiation can destroy the lining of the stomach and allow bacteria from the intestines to invade the bloodstream, resulting in sickness.

Science and the bible
by wherehasmyhairgone in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i read an interesting point the other day, but can not for the life of me remember where!..

but the idea and statement is why creationist or anyone uses uses science to 'prove bible' events.

the reasoning went like this.... by taking science evidence and trying to apply to to a biblical events you are in effecting stating that you value the opinion of science rather than the bible.. if the bible is the word of god, then why every try and marry up what science says about biblical events.. if you need to science to justify what went on in the bible thur archaeology proof or scientific eveidnence, the you do not accept the bible as the ultimate authority, as you are using 'mans' authority to try and validate word gods.. i thought i was an interesting point.. .
