If someone wants to learn more about this linguistic approach to creation and DNA, I'm not the first to think of it. Here is a great article: Does DNA’s language point to a creator?

The Babylon Bee strikes again! The sad thing is, there are Christians who think kind of like that.

Here is one way DNA disproves evolution. Scientists agree in calling DNA a language. I'm a linguist (Japanese, Greek, translation studies, etc.), so I look at DNA as a language also. Your DNA communicates exactly what you are. Here is just one (non-anonymous) website about that: The Language of...

The problem with Darwinian evolution is that Darwin had absolutely no idea of the complexity of any life form. He did not know genetics, RNA, DNA, etc. ad infinitum. The human eye includes a "ciliary body." Biochemist professor Michael Behe writes, "In summary, as biochemists have begun to...

This is a typical evolutionist answer. Throw a few 100 million years at the problem and it will go away. Sorry, that is an inadequate answer, and that is why so many Christians are creationists nowadays. All evolution can answer with is "millions of years." But that is not science. Science...

Can you tell me how the human eye evolved? See post #75 if this confuses you. By the way, I just read the article you linked to, and it does not prove evolution. The guppy stayed a guppy, the Anole lizards stayed anole lizards, and so on. For evolution to be true, the change has to be into a...

For any of you who believe human evolution, the premise is irrefutable that there are "black boxes" in the human body. This is what Michael J. Behe has proven in his book, Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution (2006). What does Behe mean? A black box is a self-contained...

I just glanced through the thread, and coincidentally I have been editing a file I wrote as a young man about the scientific accuracy of the Bible, especially in cosmology. For anyone who believes the Bible is inaccurate on cosmology, here you go. (Everyone else, just enjoy). The earth is round...

True. His school teaches Dispensationalism. I have a book by their profs on it.

Most IFBs nowadays are Dispensationalists. In his book Dispensationalism, Charles Ryrie calls the distinction of the church from Israel as the sine qua non of Dispensationalism. The position that makes the church to replace Israel ("replacement theology") is usually connected with covenant...

This is really ironic! Here we are in the Fundamental Baptist Forum, where the history is that many years ago fundamentalists were persecuted in other forums, so the admin gave them this one. If you are here opposing fundamentalism, then you ought to leave because of that!! :Biggrin...

Christian courtship is far safer and more helpful than the "dating" practice which has been around since before WW2 in the US. As a senior in high school I began praying for God's will for a wife for me. I was perfectly willing to serve God with or without a wife. All I wanted was God's will...

Chaperones are absolutely not legalism. Legalism is thinking that rules make you righteous. Chaperones are there to help the young people keep from temptation. These are two totally different things.

Perhaps you should explain what these are. I've never heard of "body-scan meditation." I'm not sure what you mean by "deep-breathing" either. Is there some kind of systematized practice of this? If by this you simply mean breathing deeply from the abdomen, this is correct breathing, natural...

I linked to the articles because you made the false point that hymns started out as tavern songs. So yes, the articles were relevant That's not quite what you said. I've already told a couple of times a definition of rock from a music prof. I don't believe you've ever interacted with that, so...

Thanks for the explanation. The whole "tavern song" thing started with Jon claiming that people who opposed CCM were hypocritical since hymns were originally influenced by "tavern songs." I linked to a couple of essays that debunked that idea, which you commented that I had linked to. The whole...

Using the quote feature will certainly help. Where I felt you misrepresented me was saying that I linked to "tavern songs." But looking back, your post points out that I linked to articles about "tavern songs," but you do not appear to have said I linked directly to a "tavern song." I'm not...

Actually, I haven't linked to a single "drinking song." Maybe I can put the whole "Greensleeves" thing to rest. It's actually in a minor key, so that means it has no influence on hymns, since they are virtually never in a minor key. Well, there is "What Child Is This?" but it's done to the tune...

Sigh. I've already tried to interact with you twice on this. In the last one I asked for proof that this song was sung in taverns, but was ignored. Yes, I know all about this folk song. I've played guitar since I was 14, so 59 years now. And my favorite non-Christian genre is folk music. I've...

An American pop song from 1918 that my mother taught to me. My opinion: this would be really hard to make into a hymn!
