The craziness of that particular web site aside, what's wrong with reading what other people have to say as a part of making "your own decision"?

You are talking about your post, right? cleanhippie Feb 2012 #10

I think that Kurmudgeon was referring to the Genesis Veracity Foundation, not to anyone's post. LeftishBrit Feb 2012 #74

I'm not convinced. cleanhippie Feb 2012 #77

C'mon, even if you're a creationist, it's clear that this site was created by an insane person. DCKit Feb 2012 #5

I already stated I thought the site was bunk. Kurmudgeon Feb 2012 #7

Gen 1:25-27 and 2:18-22 cannot both be true. Hence one disproves the other. nt dmallind Feb 2012 #15

Give it a rest. Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #20

And YOU keep claiming that your version is actually "contemporary theology.", darkstar3 Feb 2012 #21

You'd be better served answering the actual literal challenge then, surely? dmallind Feb 2012 #23

Of course! Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #24

How are they NOT here when we were challenged to disprove a Genesis creation story HERE? dmallind Feb 2012 #25

I guess I missed that post Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #26

There's only 26 to look at and this one was #3 dmallind Feb 2012 #27

It is a pretty wide jump to get that out of #3 Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #28

Why should we be spending time and effort kicking at a straw man? Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #16

Because a sizeable plurality if not outright majority of believers take this crap seriously dmallind Feb 2012 #17

You bet we should! Thats my opinion Feb 2012 #18

And when they just look blankly in return, can we converse on their level then? dmallind Feb 2012 #19
