Do you dispute this? ^^ If so, why?
The link does not address the points I made in my post to you.

In its present form? Why do you say that?
(March 18, 2014 at 5:59 pm)Deidre32 Wrote: Genesis doesn't discuss an evolutionary 'process,' whatsoever. That IS the argument. Genesis is a story, whether you believe it to be literal or not, about the origin of mankind that has nothing at all to do with evolution.
Ok.....
How does that support your assertion that the T.E.N.S is evidence that the Bible is nonsense?
(March 18, 2014 at 5:59 pm)Deidre32 Wrote: Evolution serves as proof that the Genesis story is either a total lie or a fable based on the wild imagination of man to make some sense out of how he came to be, and his surroundings. The fact that you see it as more than that, is based on faith, not logic. You are not logically a Christian.
The theory of evolution by natural selection is a theory Deidre. It is not proof of anything.
But let us grant for a moment that it is true. How would this make the Genesis account a total lie or a fable?

Really? How do you know this?

Bald assertions with no support. Go on....

Another bald assertion...

I think I can respond to your post, ironically, by using your own words....

Did I mention anything anywhere about the T.E.N.S. unit? No.
So if I don't know how biological life began, why does that mean your answer is the correct one?
That is not my reasoning. I have never said that since naturalists cannot account for the origin of life that therefore creationism is true.
