It isn’t. YE creationism is clearly denied in Genesis. The “life ex nihilo” doctrine of YE is incompatible with God’s word; He says the earth brought forth living things.
If, by “have a problem with that,” you mean “don’t take it as a literal history” then you are saying St. Augustine believed in science and science alone. Are you sure you want to assert that?
God said the earth did something? No. His Word did something.
Let’s take a look…
Of course. You just don’t approve of the way He did it.
More false witness from Ed. What a surprise.
No. Science is beginning to show that God was right about the way life began.
Not for a Christian. And you didn’t answer my question. St. Augustine “had a problem” with literal days of creation. Do you persist in arguing that he believed in “science and science alone?”
Show me. That statement seems to be mere fabrication. I don’t know one Catholic “evolutionist” who says that. Get used to the idea. He built the box. He can (and does) do what He wants with it. He can even, (as “evolutionists” have reminded you here) do a miracle or two, violating natural law, just to teach us things.
He does most everything in this world by processes we can comprehend. Whether you approve or not really makes no difference.
You seem not to understand the difference between “theory” and “fact.” Facts didn’t start out as theories, and theories don’t later become facts. Facts are what are observed, like things falling off tables, or species changing over time. Theories are attempted explanations of facts, such as gravity, or evolution.Believe me, I understand that science is an extremely important and lifesaving thing. But certain things remain theory and not proven fact. The Big Bang is a theory for example. It makes sense, but there’s no way to prove it. Some things man will never know until the next life. In the mean time, I do thank God for science and those who devote their lives to it.
Excellent points, ricmat – and thanks for your comments also.
The particle collider has no real function. These projects eat up enormous funds and resources and produce nothing of value. – and here we see the risk involved.
Okay mate, you’ve made it clear you think I’m a moron. But please have a heart. After all, it might just be that you are traveling a bit further along on the evolutionary scale than myself. Have pity on a lesser creature. :bighanky:
WOW! You really are anti science now aren’t you?!
According to the article I posted, the Large Hadron Collider could create a black hole that would destroy the Earth.
No I am not at all anti humanity. The odds of that happening are infinitesimally small to non existent.
It is worthless! If this isn’t man trying to play God, I don’t know what is. :nope:
The Large Hadron Collider Questions
You made a stupendously offensive (and absolutely wrong) accusation against Catholics who (like our Pope) accept evolution. I’m being charitable and assuming that you actually believed it.
Trust me, that was kind. Asserting that the Pope thinks God is constrained to natural laws is highly offensive.
Yeah, that kind of stuff. Would you be offended if I asked you to go and learn something about the subject?
How did the discovery of the wheel, or the taming of fire, or the harnessing of electricity make a bit of difference in anyone’s life or salvation?
Wheel, fire, and electricity are not in the same class as the Hadron Collider.
Well, perhaps now they are not, but at the time, they were pretty big deals.
Is there a script to this video? At the moment I don’t have sound. All I get is a still of a teacher?
