Since the other thread has become ten pages long, and since I just invited members of the LBMB (with the help of CheapBastid) to the party, I wanted to start anew.
We’ll see if ghoti or any of the other creationists there would like to preach to something other than their choir and we’ll see what reasonable people can reply to them in response…
Yer pal,
Satan
Ghoti just finished a disertation on the apocrypha… give him a little time!
Just for reference (as the old link that was posted in the Creationist thread is dead).
Here’s the thread where Fish decided to go off on his Intelligent Design ramble.
Something tells me that you won’t see many of those happy little fellows here. Once they get out of their pond people tend not to listen to them to much. And they like to come off as eveyone is hanging on their every word.
Over here things could get a tad more… Complex?
The Bishop
Hey! Long time no see, Satan! Whatcha been up to?
Says the guy with one whole post over here…
[/sarcasm]
Peace.

Make that two!
Maybe we could just hang around here and talk about the Pounders?
Oh…I forgot…it’s been done.

Maybe I can get in on this one…
I took one look at the size of the other and decided to not even start reading…
War and Peace is shorter…
Has anyone here read the work.
<u> Starlight and Time</U>
Very interesting theory (yes, theory) about the problem of the amount of time it takes startlight to reach Earth compared to the “young Earth” philosophy.
Heaven…One to beam up!
Some day I WILL figure out the HTML thing on this site…
Heaven…One to beam up!
That’s the first I’ve heard of the book, RB…care to give a brief synopsis?
-David
There is no HTML on this site anymore…
Your <u> </u> would’ve worked if there were…and UBB doesn’t have an underline tag yet.

This book doesn’t propose that old theory that the speed of light used to be a gazillion times faster, does it? That one’s been pretty thoroughly debunked.
No, its no the old Decay of the Speed of light theroy.
Heaven…One to beam up!
I just love proofs that begin with,“Reality used to be different…” :). I have heard all the different variations of the “speed of light theory”, most if not all of them proposed by people who have a Creationist axe to grind.
Eagles may soar free and proud, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines.
Ummm…sorry people. I’m NOT the ghoti from the LBMB…an unfortunate coincidence…and apparently name choice on my part.
Just a friendly little reminder here.

The Straight Dope
Let me guess… If the universe was created only 6,000 years ago, how could it take thousands of years or millions of years or billions of years for starlight to get here?
Also, there’s the assertion that people have been able to see the stars since Adam & Eve first looked up. If the Universe was only a few days old, the night sky should have been totally dark, the stars totally invisible, since there had not yet been enough time for starlight to reach A & E’s eyes.
Feel free to correct me at any time. But don’t be surprised if I try to correct you.
As most members of this board are well aware, I’m a creationist but not a Creationist. My short take on the situation is that reading Genesis 1 as anything other than a poetic narrative of God’s work makes Him a liar…either in His Book or in His World. (Consider all the half-baked explanations you’ve heard on how fossils came to be, light from stars > 6000 LY, and so on.) My God is not a liar.
