The authorship of the Bible is earthly, men limited to knowledge of their time. The bible can't therefore be scientifically accurate.

OLAADEGBU:

I hope you find where information originated from.

What do you mean?

OLAADEGBU:
Your blind evolutionary faith has no foundation as it cannot say where the universe and life originated from so you have to depend on blind faith which is not scientific, reasonable, logical or rational in my opinion.

The theory of evolution isn't supposed to do that.

OLAADEGBU:
The Bible which is God breathed is true and real scientists should be able to test it. Through the application of science we can confirm that God's account of creation is accurate. God tells us in Genesis chapter 1 that plants and animals, birds, fish and every living organism were created after their own kind and this is exactly what we see even today, dog still produces dogs. We don't see organisms gaining information and evolving into another kind like your molecule to man evolution myth but we see them losing information as you can see in the diagram below.


So according to you, most of the notable scientists of our modern times aren't real scientists? The Bible also talks about there being plants before the sun existed. That makes no sense. Saying that dogs produce dogs isn't new. Even children can see that. Actually, we do see organisms gaining information. They gain information by various means like random mutations, genetic drift etc.

The cartoon makes no sense.
Re: Christ The Creationist by thehomer: 7:34pm On Oct 13, 2012
OLAADEGBU:

We all have the same scientific evidence the problem with you is how you interprete it based on your evolutionary spectacles. Your prepossition determines how see the evidence. If your starting point is that there is no God then the natural option will be the only line you will follow. Why would you believe the historical facts in the book of Genesis when you don't believe in the existence of God? Noah's story is only problematic to compromising Christians who have been brought up on a diet of evolutionary lies.

Well actually you misinterpret the scientific evidence available. Actually, the starting point of the theory of evolution wasn't that there was no God neither is that the starting point today. It just so happens that God isn't needed as an explanation. I don't believe them because they make no sense.

OLAADEGBU:
You will have to look here to find out the differences we have when we talk about natural selection. It doesn't necessarily mean what you call evolution.

I never said that natural selection meant evolution. How long ago did the ancestor of lions, tigers and cheetahs live? How do you know?

Interesting.

Now, am interested ^^^ in that part of your statement.

For the sake of your reputation, i wish that you please educate me on the so call "incosistencies" you have exterblished contain in the bible.

Please do.

Am waiting.

Here's one sticking with the creation theme. Please answer these questions. Which did God create first, animals or humans? Did God create Adam first or did he create both Adam and Eve together?

Based on your answer, I'll show you the contradiction.

The authorship of the Bible is earthly, men limited to knowledge of their time. The bible can't therefore be scientifically accurate.

"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21).

Josh McDowell put it like this:

"The idea conveyed is that just as the wind controls the sails of a boat, so also the breath of God controlled the writers of the Bible. The end result was exactly what God intended."

So you can see that it was God using men as instruments to write His letter to humanity. It is His-Story. Proof that the Bible is supernatural can be seen with a quick study of its prophecies.

truthislight:

mixing up issues, stay on the topic, "Creation"

and it was the GENESIS account i was refering to when i did say vision/revelation as oppose to evolution, so i dont know were prayer came from into this thread.

That the bible account is more reliable than the billion opon billion of years that is the other option.

Honesty is a scarce resources to certain kind of people as i have come to realise.

I'm on topic. You were talking about honesty and the rejection of the supernatural. That is where prayer comes into it. Prayer according to you requires some supernatural intervention.

It looks as if you really wish to be dishonest. How is the Biblical account more reliable? You need to actually show this to be the case.

thehomer:

What do you mean?

The first and second law of information. The first law of information states that Information cannot originate in statistical processes i.e. Chance + time cannot create information no matter how much time is at your disposal. This makes us know that there is no known law of nature, process or sequence of events that can cause information to originate by itself in matter.

The second law of information states thatInformation can only originate from an intelligent sender.

My kweshun to you Is this:

Is there any observed case where random chance events created complex molecules with enormous amounts of information like that found in DNA or RNA? If not, then why should we assume it happened in the past?

thehomer:

The theory of evolution isn't supposed to do that.

Can your theory answer the kweshun above?

I have no objection to the observation science they practise it is just their inconsistencies when it comes to historical or origin science that is when they shoot themselves in the foot.

thehomer:

The cartoon makes no sense.

It explains the differences in what we mean by natural selection. While you are being taught that information is added to become another kind we teach and believe that information is lost as the dogs interbreed. Molecule to man evolution is not observed what is observed is how an animal like a wolf can lose information to an animal like a poodle.

I don't know. I don't even know if what you've said above is relevant. I've not proposed what you're saying here.

Secondly, you're conflating two concepts of "information". One is in transmitting a message, the other is in making sense of natural phenomena. Which one of them do you wish to use? Make a choice and stick to it otherwise you're simply committing a fallacy of ambiguity.

Your question is a poor one because it contains some hidden premises.

OLAADEGBU:

Your attempted distinction is not legitimate. To demonstrate this, why don't you answer this question. Is the study of radioactivity a "historical science" or an "origin science"?

Yes. With a starting point of the Holy Bible we can do proper science as opposed to starting on faulty and sifting sands. We believe in what natural selection can and cannot do.

Natural selection can; decrease genetic information, allow organisms to survive better in a given environment, act as a "selector" and show that diversity has occurred within the original created kinds over thousands of years.

On the other hand, natural selection cannot:

Increase new genetic information, allow organisms to evolve from molecule to man, act as an "originator" and cannot support the so called evolutionary "tree" of life.

The fact that I don't know something doesn't mean what you said was right. That would be a fallacy. I also said that I didn't even know if what you said was relevant.

I have given you the definition of information, answer the kweshun.

thehomer:

I don't have to know the answer to the poorly phrased question to tell that it contains hidden premises.

Let me rephrase the kweshun. Since information is nonmaterial and all observed cases always requires an intelligent sender, how did all the information contained in DNA originate?

thehomer:

"Observational science" is a false category. We actually can detect radioactivity.

Another word for observational science is operational science. It is a systematic approach to understanding that uses observable, testable, repeatable and falsifiable experimentation to understand how nature commonly behaves. While historical or origin science is the interpreting of evidence from past events based on a presupposed philosophical point of view. All these definitions can be gleaned from creationist literature such as AiG, ICR, Creation worldview etc. I actually asked whether you can see radioactivity with your naked eyes since you don't believe in what you cannnot see.

thehomer:

The rates of decay are not assumed, they're measured. The rest of your statement is simply false.

Wrong. The assumptions related to radiometric dating in answering these questions: What was the initial amounts? Was there any parent amount added? Was any daughter amount added? Was any parent amount removed? Was there any daughter amount removed? and has the rate of decay changed?

If the assumptions to the questions above are really accurate then the uniformitarian dates should agree with radiometric dating across board for the same event which do often do not.

thehomer:

Changing one's mind with new information is what reasonable people do.

You will have to keep changing your minds because you started on false premises or presuppositions.

thehomer:

What evidence do you have to show that poodles have less "information" than some other dog? How do you even determine that one organism has less information than other organisms? Then when it comes to humans, which race has "more information"? Africans, Arabs, Asians, Caucasians, Native Americans or some other race? According to your idea of natural selection, where did man originate?

I gave you the possibilities and limitations of natural selection earlier. The diagram below will show you some genetics of varying fur length of dogs. As for human beings we are one race, the Adamic race who was created in the image of God. Some may have more or less melanin than others but we are still one race, the difference is only skin deep.

Considering the limitations of natural selection that gave earlier, you will see that genetic information in this diagram was lost. That the long fur dogs survive better in a cold environment; that a particular characteristics in the dog population was selected for and that dogs are still dogs since the variation is within the boundaries of "kind."

This shows the evidence of God's grace in supplying for His creation in the altered environments of a post-Fall, post-Flood world.

thehomer:

Well the scriptures are wrong according to what modern science shows us. I interpret this science using reason and evidence.

Evolution theory is not modern science it's an attractive religion because you believe its given you a reason to convince yourself that there need not be God to be accountable to.

thehomer:

What molecule to man is this that you keep on referring to? What did the Bible say about North and South America, Antarctica and Australia? What you need to realize is that the ignorant people who wrote the Bible were wrong. Science shows that what you're saying is wrong.

Have you forgotten your Darwinian theory that asserts that you evolved from primordial soup? You need more faith to believe the evolution fairytale than you will need to believe in the creation event. Evolution theory is not science it is a religion.

truthislight:
if only you will accept that you have been told what the purpose of the bible is,
that it is a book meant to reconciled man to God, then you will not have made this statement.

Why the sudden hop to some other topic? Why don't you answer the question I've already asked you?

truthislight:
lack of knowledge or of honesty thereof of the purpose of the bible.

The bible is not a science text book,but a book that God used in introducing himself to man.

If it isn't a science textbook, then why refer to it for scientific information? That italicized part of your sentence makes no sense.

OLAADEGBU:

So information is a message.

OLAADEGBU:
I have given you the definition of information, answer the kweshun.

I cannot answer it because as far as I can tell, it is meaningless. DNA isn't a message unless of course you can tell me who this "message" is being transmitted to.

OLAADEGBU:
Let me rephrase the kweshun. Since information is nonmaterial and all observed cases always requires an intelligent sender, how did all the information contained in DNA originate?

Your assumption that DNA is a message is actually wrong so your question is based on a faulty premise.

OLAADEGBU:

Those "definitions" are simply false distinctions based on a faulty notion. Read my response to your question on radioactivity. Now is nuclear physics "observational science" or "historical science"?

OLAADEGBU:
Wrong. The assumptions related to radiometric dating in answering these questions: What was the initial amounts? Was there any parent amount added? Was any daughter amount added? Was any parent amount removed? Was there any daughter amount removed? and has the rate of decay changed?

Are the rates of decay assumed or measured?

OLAADEGBU:
You will have to keep changing your minds because you started on false premises or presuppositions.

But you'll keep believing something that is wrong because of religious faith and blindness to the actual world around you.

OLAADEGBU:
I gave you the possibilities and limitations of natural selection earlier. The diagram below will show you some genetics of varying fur length of dogs. As for human beings we are one race, the Adamic race who was created in the image of God. Some may have more or less melanin than others but we are still one race, the difference is only skin deep.

Well which race is closest to how Adam supposedly looked? Any other race would be considered to have lost information relative to Adam wouldn't it? Based on what you're saying, if Adam's skin had a higher melanin, then those who don't have a high melanin content have lost information.

OLAADEGBU:
Considering the limitations of natural selection that gave earlier, you will see that genetic information in this diagram was lost. That the long fur dogs survive better in a cold environment; that a particular characteristics in the dog population was selected for and that dogs are still dogs since the variation is within the boundaries of "kind."

This shows the evidence of God's grace in supplying for His creation in the altered environments of a post-Fall, post-Flood world.

Actually the genetic information is not "lost", it is simply different and this difference is the result of various factors. Long fur can still be obtained in future offspring depending on the circumstances they face then.
