| 710501 | 2008-10-12 23:25:00 | news.nationalgeographic.com So Noah would have a pair of these centipedes on the ark 570 million years ago. Sorta puts the biblical age of earth at 10 000 years max out of kilter with science. If Noah made the ark 570 million years ago I dont think the remains are on that mountain in Turkey. Who do you believe an old story book or scientists like beaker on the muppets show? |

No, no, no, prefect - if you listen to the god-botherers who truly believe the Bible is non-fiction, they will tell you that God made the fossils and put them in the rocks for humans to find in order to test their faith... :groan: :groan: :groan: (Sounds a bit contrived and petty for Someone so omniscient for my liking - but I'm happy for anyone to believe it, if it makes them happy, so long as they don't try to push it down my - or my kids' - throat as fact.) |

| 710504 | 2008-10-13 12:12:00 | Originally posted by Metla All great fun of course, But the complete opposite of everything I was ever "taught" at Church where all these things were considered to be 100 percent true. Most of us would agree that there is much in the Bible that is myth and quite a bit that is well beyond credibility - few accept the Bible's account of creation, yet you won't hear it being slated as a load of codswallop in any church, just like most parents let their children discover that there is no such person as Santa, rather than brutally advising them that it is a load of make believe. What one can accept from the Bible as a proven factual accounts of real events, is somewhat limited, but what one wants to believe as a true and accurate account when it can't be proven is a matter of faith. Depending on the individual, what is believed as a matter of faith can vary quite widely. I too had the benefit of a Christian upbringing, plus also the benefit of several years of Theological education while attending a Church of Scotland Secondary College. The essence of Christianity is living one's life by Christ's example - forget the dogma, sectarian differences, prescribed beliefs, catechism and the Apostles and Nicean Creeds - it's the way one lives. Not my definition - my old Headmaster's, A great chap, ex Scottish International Rugby player, Lt. Col. in Highland Fusiliers, awarded DSO, and won the MC at Casino in Italian campaign in WW2, a Doctorate in Divinity and a Church of Scotland Minister. A very down to earth fellow who actually helped one make a lot of sense on such issues. For Christianity to appeal to modern educated people, it cannot remain fixed in events 2000 years ago or remain steeped in medieval mysticism, it must be relevant to modern man. it is a philosophy for life. For those interested, look at the writings of Professor Lloyd Geering - read them with an open mind, they stimulate a lot of thought concerning man's approach to Christianity, although dyed in the wool traditionalists will no doubt find his ideas heretical. |

| 710505 | 2008-10-13 17:49:00 | Great posts Ken, I'll still maintain that the vast majority of people that consider themselves Christian also believe in the legends in the first testament though I have nothing to back that up with:D. | Metla (12) | ||
| 710506 | 2008-10-13 18:02:00 | 'I too had the benefit of a Christian upbringing' - Yes, yes, many of us did and then we grew up, as you have. "When I was a child I spoke as a child I understood as a child I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things." I Cor. xiii. 11. |
