Thread Name: BS: Is there any merit to creationism?
Subject: RE: BS: Is there any merit to creationism?
has it ever occurred to you that the cry of extremist is a subjective judgment. the further a pov is from your own stand ,the more extremist it becomes in your estimation. therefore it is meaningless talk as far as meaningful communication is concerned.
what is it good for?....well, it gets the amen of all the other believers....maybe you can intimidate the dissenters....
same is true of claiming the other side of the argument engages in lies and misrepresentation of the facts.
what is it good for?.....see above!
the more constructive approach would be to discuss specifics.
I can make mistakes, as it seems I did about the enigma code cracker, and I like to think that if I am shown something that I definitely got wrong, that I will own up to it. but not just taking someones unsubstantiated say so.

I do have some agreement with jack blandiver [and dawkins ] in his estimation that Christians are supposed to believe the bible!
but maybe that's just my extremist pov !......smile.

seems to me that many of the posts betray just as much fundamentalism as mine. jack for example seems even more dogmatic than even dawkins that their is no God. seems he possesses the omniscience of the God he denies!
