I am quite suspicious of this.

The world does not play fair and my first inclination is that this will turn into a hit piece on Christianity.

The debate rules and who would be the judges make a great difference in a debate.

I hope time does not prove me right, but I highly suspect a trap in here somehow.

I went to the creation museum about two years ago it was awesome. I hold to a a literal interpretation of the first two chapters of gen.

I can see the future! Bill Nye and his fans will enjoy a decisive victory. Ken Ham and his fans will enjoy a decisive victory. Everyone wins! :lol

I'm inclined toward Gerald Schroeder's explanations.

me, too. the A&E story has always read like a species coming to sentiency to me--i mean, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for cryin out loud--and ignoring the new dna evidence seems like saying the world is flat. If God can raise up followers from these rocks then really what is the issue. but these shows never seem to want to consider a holistic viewpoint, do they?

So unless i am mistaken i am assuming that you do not believe in a literal six day creation as put forth in gen?

you know the def of 'Lord's Day' might as easily apply as not; but no i guess it just seems natural to me, especially given the style those early passages are written in, to allow for other possibilities, at least. really, it doesn't affect my faith either way.

There isn't much of a debate on this issue...
