Creationism and Ignorance

[Angrboda]

Would you please quote what you are referring to here, as I haven't a fucking clue what you're talking about.

I read the thread. I'm not going to go back and reread it just because you refuse to be specific in your claims.

You sure do seem to be run by shoulds. Too bad they don’t really extend to others this way.

And there is "some sort of disagreement" among biblical scholars about the historicity of jesus - but I bet you'd call the hard mythicists a fringe group that isn't on respectable academic grounding.  It's even more lopsided when it comes to scientists and evolution.  You can find "some sort of disagreement" for the shape of the earth, as well.  "Some sort of disagreement" is about as flaccid a statement as someone could make.

Then it shouldn't have been made.

Are you a creationist or not? Do you believe species evolve into one another or do you believe in irreducible complexity?

This is where he’ll declare it his option to do so until someone convinced him otherwise. I continue to decline that commission. I insist on adults conducting themselves as adults. If he chooses to abdicate responsibility that is his business. But I think he SHOULD.

Let’s see if my shoulds mean anymore to him than his do to me.

While I accept YEC, I don't "seek to promote" it. Do you see me starting threads on it?

FWIW, I went to a public school that taught evolution. When I was first a Christian, I still accepted evolution. Now, I don't. I don't see convincing scientific evidence for evolution.

YEC doesn't have an evolution problem, it has an everything problem.   I fail to see how you not believing in the facts of biology could conceivably lead to young earth cretinism.

He's just being obtuse.

He's just being obtuse.

You imply it remains in his capacity to do otherwise.

Surely by now with tens of thousands of Christian schisms, you're not surprised that Rule 34 has a counterpart in the religious world?  IOW, every conceivable belief exists somewhere in Christianity.   Christian Scientists have the balls to call themselves Christians just like scads of the rest of them.  No surprise there.  That Jesus failed to set up a proper and rigorous franchising and/or multi-level marketing plan for His religion is something the True® religious folks of this era are just going to have to live with.

On the contrary... someone's being is their nature. He's being obtuse precisely because it's the essence of his very being.

He probably can’t do that.   His constipation suggests the hole on his rear into which he invites the dick of his jesus is not actually connected to the rest of his bowels.
