Evolution & Creationism: Why can't people believe both?

[Saquist]

I don't understand why you're telling me the above. I stated that the murder by Cain was both a lesson and history.



How do you interpret these two seperate accounts?

.

Well if we haven't found a mutal understading lets hold off before entertaining another Idea.

The use of the commonly used, two witnesses seem to impy a lawful understanding or verification. This was in answer to your statement of concern as to if this had any judical ramifications such as the Law expresed in Exodus.

Snide remarks ? An effort to shock you into the 21st century. An outside chance but worth a try.

Why should anyone believe the bible as opposed to one of the many other sdcriptures, or none at all ?

I didn't ask you to believe just the Bible...

Do you think that a law existed before Moses?

No scientist worth their salt would claim to be prophets.

A prophecy is just a prediction. Scientists make predictions all the time, and more often than not, they are correct.

Religious prophets on the other hand are wrong more often than not

Can you provide evidence of a biblical prophet being wrong?

 

[Enmos]

Can you provide evidence of a biblical prophet being wrong?

You mean from the bible ? LOL

I said religious prophets, like the ones that foretell the end of the world and stuff.

Has anyone predicted something as amazing as this:

Matthew 24:10-12

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

I hope you're not being serious...

So the prophets in the Bible weren't religious?

 

[davewhite04]

It is exactly as what Jesus predicted, 40k people. Who else predicted this madness?

Come on..

 

[Enmos]

It is exactly as what Jesus predicted, 40k people. Who else predicted this madness?

What kind of prediction is that ? It's even worse than a horoscope.. :shrug:

It's actually an extremely accurate prediction.

 

[Enmos]

Ok, I'm not taking you serious anymore if you're going to hold on to that..
That is about the most general prophecy I ever heard. I bet people of all ages can find something in there..

 

[redwards]

Can you provide evidence of a biblical prophet being wrong?

Can you provide evidence of one being right?

 

[Enmos]

Can you provide evidence of one being right?

Of course he can, he takes the bible itself as evidence of its contents..

Edit: Welcome to SciForums btw

Let me spell it out for you:

1) Jesus said many would claim to be the Messiah
2) Year 2k+ Many do

It is not generalized it is just something you cannot refute.

Ok see ya

So what? Many people claimed to be the messiah in his day. I could say that many people will be arrested for selling drugs, does that make me a prophet?
