The Creation Debate: What have you read?

[Tribesman]

My post said nothing about the Bible--
Oh I see , then what exactly are you basing your position upon ?
I know you don't know Judean/Christian scripture very well as you and your friend have amply demonstrated , so are you basing it on South American , Middle Eastern , Far Eastern ,Australian , European folk tales ?
Now that would be strange , since the sources that you get your information from , while deciding to take information from global folk tales to support their position , then go on to destroy the credibility of those folk tales , because of course , they ain't Christian .

Creationism , the realm of the feeble minded of little faith .

But I think the FAQ advises us to use English, in case the noble and most gentle moderators suspect we are being a tad uncomplimentary - not that either of us would be.

I really should learn Welsh at some point.

If you choose to speak another language that is your choice. It does limit the amount of people who can understand you on a primarily English speaking forum. It is a pleasure to see different ways of communicating between people and it is a wonderful oppourtunity to learn and gain respect for differences.

However if you use another language to insult someone that they do not understand I would see that as even more wrong then a normal attack. It is both insulting your mother tongue or anothers to devalue it to only a negative role. It is also spineless to attack someone if they cannot defend themselves.

So again it is your choice and as adults you are all fully ready to accept responsibilty for all your actions even if the consequences are very nice or very bleak.

I'm not sure how much help learning Welsh would be for understanding an exchange between two Irishmen . Besides, that couldn't have been Welsh anyway: I'm sure I saw some vowels in there!

I know they are Irish, but if I had bothered to learn Welsh as a kid from my Mamgu I would have a leg up in understanding another Celtic tongue.

I learned about the evolution theory in biology class in high school, I have since read many other scientific documents and publications on the matter, I have just read a few passages from "origin", mainly for historical interest, it is the base of evolution theory but the up to date scientific position as moved long passed it.

As far as the bible goes, I´ve never read all of it, but I´ve read a fair good part of it, along with other assorted fairy tales, i also went to a catolic school for a few years, were they unsuccessfully tried to hammer that stuff into my head.

as for which one I support.....there´s only one of them that even begins to make sense....and that´s evolution.

Three months into the org and I think I've made a bad impression.

Yes, I'm stubborn. Yes, I'm still moving forward with my education. Yes, I'm a diehard Creationist. But first and foremost, I am a Christian. I don't like the way I've dealt with some posts, but I'll get better. Remember, stubborn? But for what it’s worth, I apologize to those whose temperature may have risen because of my words.

No more debating for me.

rory_20_uk you are not a hillbilly evolutionist.

Tiberius sorry about the english crack.

Tribesman, what can I say about Tribesman? Some day when I make it over to Europe I'm going to zip over to Ireland (I assume that's where you're from) and buy you lunch. What do you say?
Sorry if I missed anyone.

For what it's worth, I don't think you have made a bad impression at all. You certainly drive my blood pressure through the roof with your championing of creationism, but that's really my problem in the end. The Backroom is full of stubborn people with strongly held views. I'm sure I drive many to distraction with my opinions, even though I am clearly right all the time.

Enjoy the Backroom for what it is, idle entertainment and the chance to discuss challenging viewpoints with mostly really clever people. And to support big pharma's tranquiliser products.

Having the grace to respect other's feelings and offer an apology (where none is really needed) demonstrates you have exactly the right attitude to be right at home here.

Keep arguing.
