Young Earth Creationism Vs. Science (Statler Waldorf Contd)

[Statler Waldorf]

Because I've checked the dictionary

What!? Facts don’t contradict themselves because the dictionary says they can’t? Does this mean that facts could contradict themselves before the dictionary was written? I am sorry; you are going to have to do better than that.

If facts where not truth then one of them had to be a lie, if natural facts contradicted, then we wouldn't exist because that's impossible

Ok, so first it was the law of no contradiction is valid because the universe can’t contradict itself. Then it was the law of no contradiction is valid because the universe is a fact and facts can’t contradict themselves. Now it is, the law of no contradiction is valid because facts are truth and according to the dictionary truth can’t contradict itself. So now the obvious question is, why can’t truth contradict itself?

Except that one appeared after they left culture that had those same laws... and they needed to keep order...

Still does not prove intellectual theft. Also, I find it hard to believe that the Israelites would have wanted to copy the commandments of a nation that had just enslaved them for decades. Besides, I thought most of you atheists didn’t believe the story of the exodus, but now you believe the Israelites really were in Egypt when it suits your position? Odd.

He might not speak specific to you but he speaks to catholic Christianity, he speaks with the voice of St. Peter, and can issue formal definitions of faith and morals

No he can’t. There is no biblical basis for the Pope’s authority on such matters. So you can’t argue against biblical accounts using his authority. Again, that is why we had the reformation. Sola Scriptura!

They are written by scientists conducting science and reviewed by scientists (their peers).

Only you would call creationist shitheads "scientists."

Actually so would the dictionary. Creationists are using a systematic approach to obtain

an expert in science, esp. one of the physical or natural sciences.

Since creationism is neither natural or a physical science(you claimed that creationism was the study of super-natural origins) therefore any creationist is by the definition given by the dictionary, not a scientist.

I just beat you with a dictionary, how does that feel
