    Oh, there's an NWT version, something like that. There are others. (50+ by a quick google.)

  2. The resident atheists are full of themselves today. Nothing new! Unable to provide a single shred of evidence to back up their claim of something from nothing, they once again engage in sophomoric humor as some sort of defense.
    Atheism is a religion based completely on theory and a blind faith that all science is good science. No questions can be asked of the atheist religion as they are completley unwilling to even consider opposing arguments. Completely awash in self importance they can only engage in a circular argument...anyone that disagrees is stupid, ergo, anything said by one who disagrees is stupid, ergo, even listening to a person with opposing views is stupid and a waste of their time. And yet, with a mind this closed they claim to be seekers of truth and facts. Astounding!

    No. I do know that things like "thou shalt not kill" have become "You shall not commit murder", for obvious reasons. So to say or imply that the Bible is not changing is not correct.

  5. The scientific method is merely a formal methodology (or technqiue) concerning how to apply reason.
    Science cannot be a religion. You use reason in order to comprehend and communicate on this forum. You use reason every day to form opinions and make decisions. science isn't a question of belief. It's a demonstrated truth through empirical, repeatable evidence, constantly subjected to ongoing scrutiny. The opposite of belief in god.


    "No questions can be asked of the atheist religion as they are completley unwilling to even consider opposing arguments."
    ask away. i am sure we can help educate you but up to this point have not seen any willingness from you to learn. only a defence of the supernatural.

    On that, I'm pretty sure the original Hebrew said "You shall not commit murder". The KJV is full of poor translations. That doesn't mean the Bible has changed in a fundamental way, it just means there are several more or less accurate translations floating around. I can't imagine why any modern Christian would stick with the KJV given the availability of better and less obscure translations of the Bible but that's the way things are.

    Here you stupid, indoctrinated bastard: The department with the evolution theory. They say that the Geologic Column is calibrated by the Strata, then elwewhere they say that the Strata is calibrated by the Geologic Column... the definition of calibration is comparison to a known standard, there is no known standard in that mess, it's fantasy calibration. Then for an encore they toss out all readings by instruments that don't match their fantasy calibration and claim thet they are "science" and everybody else is "religion"... they can suck my nasdaq...

    "No clue" is incorrect. The Bible does change. Shall we now discuss significance? No. I was only addressing your implication that religion never changes.

    My point is still that in this religion vs. science debate, evidence as defined by science is being trotted out as the way to resolve the debate.
