Tell you what, I have a better question for both of you, Petrus and Nous: '''are you pushing your own religious beliefs on myself, this article, and this website?''' A simple yes or no will suffice. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 20:23, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

:When you explain precisely to what you refer when you say hearsay, I shall answer your question. To what specific instances do you refer? How is a charge of hearsay relevant here. What would be direct evidence? Is it not true that exegesis plays a large role in presenting "evidence" from the bible, and as exegesis relies on apologetic analysis and reconstruction is it not a form of hearsay. There are, of course, rhetorical question, but please do answer them if you wish this discussion to be of any value.
:As to young earth creationism, I'm very well aware of the arguments put forth by proponents. However, in reading them critically, which is my ''modus legendi'' for all books, they simply fail scientifically and logically. The various explanations of "tired light" and "flood geology" (etc.) are too ludicrous to take seriously, violating, as they do, the laws of physics, geology and plate tectonics. Yes, I know of the argument that "god can do anything he wants", but said argument is really just a tautology.
:BTW -- All ancient religions have their own creation story, what makes the bible's verson fact and the others mere myth? (rhetorical). [[User:NousEpirrhytos|NousEpirrhytos]] 06:14, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
