Logical vs. Fallacious Thinking

Creationists and Scientists speak in different language not because one thinks of god and one doesn't, but because the METHOD of deducing reasonable conclusions is completely opposite.

If you're a logical person, perhaps I'll manage to demonstrate where I think the difference is.

If you're a creationist, take these differences into account before you try to convince any scientifically minded person, and encounter problems in your own logical deductions.

Enjoy,

Discovered in 2003:

The underlying law of nature may be the world's most useful, profitable and encouraging knowledge.

e.g., It is the most effective and efficient means to improve the performance of any process.

Great personal, economic and societal advantages exist to identifying the underlying law of nature first hand, for oneself, and to understanding and applying its principles.

Bing or Google it as a start.

So close, but you missed. The problem is that people have an understanding issue. We tend to regard our position as truth and denounce anything that is in contradiction to that truth. Evolution is not true it is only a fact. God is not true it is only a fact. The only way to be able to declare truth is to become omnipotent. Then somehow make my tiny mind aware of everything =). The universe was created the moment you read this instantaneously. With everything in it's place.

You are really upset with the Idea of God as the creator, don´t you? If the idea of God leads us no were as you say, then that is our problem. WHAT IF IT DOES? But, ah, your line is too complicated for you to understand! Good luck

Hi. I got interested in your video initially because you were trying to reason out the differences between science in religion. But, the moment you compared religious thinking to a straight line thinking (about 5 minutes in to the video) with beginning and end, right there was your logical fallacy (non sequitur). Not all religious people believe in the beginning and the end. Hinduism, Buddhism etc. differ here. They say there was no end and beginning of time, or world or anything.

(a continuation from the last post) It has been well established in the Christian church that God lives in one moment. This information on the Christian view of time might help you understand some Christian principles that do not make sense on a line.

(a continuation from the last post)So instead of each dash being a moment

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

It is one moment

______________________________­___

You see, in both of your models that you presented you had already assumed that time is a string of moments. Most Christians would agree with you. However this is purely their ignorance on theology (understandable for most pastors dont teach on the theory of time). (continued)

(a continuation from the last post) Honestly, I am really sick of atheist taking biblical poetry literally. The whole point is that there is no distance from the east to the west. Thank you for not taking a cheap short cut such as this. However, I would like to address the theory of time that you presented. The line theory is, as you said, the way most people think. Yet it is not exactly what Christian theology teaches. The church formally says that time is one eternal moment.

First off I would like to thank you for being polite and for using logic. Even though I am a Christian, I enjoyed watching your video. I am sorry about the rude and simply stupid comments that you have received. Trust me, I get equally absurd ones from atheists. I recently had a man tell me the Bible contradicts science because it says that God will cast your sins from the east to the west. He claimed that since there is no distance from the east to the west that the Bible was wrong (continued)
