Evolution vs. Intelligent Design

I never disputed that C-14 wasn't accurate on items less than 50,000 years old, and you can read my posts to see that for yourself. The reason why other dating methods aren't accurate are because they have been proven to be wrong in dating known-age materials, whereas C-14 has been correct on dating things hundreds of years old.

well then if its accurate to within a million years would it make sense that a 50 year old object would appear to be 1,000,000 years old? tsk tsk

You guys should really give up. No one is going to be convinced, you're just wasting your time.

Your faith is only so strong because of forced conversions and prosecution of non-Christians.

Ok why is hindu so strong then? And please, give me an answer that is different than the one for christians.

And I guess Jesus was technically Jewish when he was prosecuted. I'm not disagreeing with your point, I was just giving an answer to another question. But you most likely are one of those people who just skip to the last page of a thread and have no idea what you are debating about.

First off, I agree with this.

Second, I don't think I understand your question. What is accurate to a million years?

Hinduism has been around longer.

More numbers doesn't make you more right. Since we are one of the biggest nations and our nation was built on christianity, wouldn't it only make sense to why christianity is the biggest religion?

china is bigger. not very much christianity there. we still have big numbers.


but i will say that i understand why numbers don't mean much.

so, he did for the majority of this thread, and it hasn't gotten far since then.

A good chunk of China is atheist, I had a friend who lived over there for like 4 years (she's my hard-core Christian friend, her mom went to teach at a Christian American school) or that’s what she told me, no offense sometimes she says things that aren't all that true but eh, I'll take it.

And my Korean friend said its the same in S.korea, with the newer generation anyways. that wasn’t necessary but I'd thought I'd share that =]

actually he dind't at all. The only way that statement could be true is if you deny all accepted science like he did. Luckily, I do not have my head shoved up my ass so I choose to accept and embrace science.

Christianity is so righteous

i.e. The Crusades

The crusades started because muslims conquered almost all of the middle east, including the holy land in palestine. The pope wanted freedom back for his people. Almost all of the crusades after that were done to help defend against the many muslim attacks. But you knew that.

HAHA that is hillarious that you honestly think that the Crusades were righteous.

I would love to hear you explain the Spanish Inquisition and the selling of indulgences. I assume there is a legitimate reason for that right?

hmmm well the selling of indulgences didn't really hurt anybody..

from what i know about the crusades, it was the christian's fault. i have trouble imagining how anyone would believe you should kill people in Christ's name. i know about all the OT wars, like Jericho, but that was in a different era.

that still doesn't compare to the muslim's jihad though. i went to a muslim temple once and a lady there said that those people just took a couple lines in the muslim holy book(forget the name) out of whack.

Islam is the way it is because it hasn't had a enlightenment period to clean it up like Christianity was forced into by the 18th century thinkers.

Post # 3000 on the Arguments board.

Anyway, um, god is great.

That's about all I'm contributing to these boards. Except for my absolute success that is the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design #2 thread.
