[BackInTheGarden]

Too bad about that dam hum,

WHERE'S THE SOUND GUY?

[Strefanasha]

"archaeology confirms the spiritual benefits" and not the fruit of the Spirit?

this is reliance on the arm of the flesh. these arguements are good for teaching new converts that thy have not believed in vain but the fact is that I hold the Bible inerrant because i beleve in God, and not vice versa.

there are too many problems in the text and the only answers offered for many smack of rationalisation.

defending the gospel is not the same as beleving it. Apologists beware of this!

[Strefanasha]

too much reliance on cleverness of wisdom and arguments.

but this is easier to do than the one thing that Jesus said would have the world KNOW that GOd has sent the Son: ie "father make them one". IOW a love the world has never seen from us christians is the thing that will persuade men.

I am not denying the logic of the arguments presented here, but apologist is not listed as being one of the offices of the Church you- know the one "apostles prophets evangelists teachers etc

GreatHopeSprings, it is you who doesn't understand science AT ALL. Pasteur's experiments were explicitly directed at refuting the idea that life can come from non-life in any form, including biochemical forms. Others scientists have done numerous experiments&ALL have backed him up.Inferential science (the type the Big Bang is based upon and much other science) shows us that this must have been true in all history. Until you DEMONSTRATE an anomaly to this law, you aren't doing science, PERIOD.

[GreatHopeSprings]

@TruthIsLife7 Just to make myself clear here, Pasteur's work had nothing to do with the biochemical origin of life.

What part of that are you failing to grasp?
