Can you give an example? All I know is that if one has faith in whatever, what they see

Posted by before them isn't necessary, but is there something specific you are talking about? Rachael sm on August 15, 2010 at 08:14:13:

I mean, you know me. I don't care much for Christianity, so it isn't like I'm on their "side," but I do understand how one can have faith in something, despite what they see, so it isn't, to me, a "Christian" thing, but you sound vague here to me.

Can you please give an example of what is being ignored that is observable and measurable and instead being taken strickly on faith?

Hi R- I listed a few things in the initial question. Why is (sm) Shawn 14:01:14 8/15/2010 (13)
- I guess I'm just not understanding. Where is fossil evidence ignored and discounted and for what? I think there are many different scientific thoughts regarding global warming. Rachael sm 14:29:45 8/15/2010 (11)
  - From THIS BAC's POV, it's NOT the fossils themselves that some Estelle 23:53:51 8/15/2010 (2)
    - So all these scientists measuring systems are wrong, but a single special group of believes are right? R 21:32:54 8/16/2010 (1)
      - According to young earth/creationist/BACs and their kind, yes. And they'll jerk Bible verses out of context to condemn those who disagree with them, to boot. Shawn 22:11:59 8/16/2010 (0)
  - Oh, it is to be sure-- Young earth creationists, to be specific...It's a big topic. S 14:40:15 8/15/2010 (4)
    - But your question was addressed to BACs, not Young earth creationists, and from what I can find, they are not one in the same. Rachael 15:19:32 8/15/2010 (3)
      - 9 times out of 10 they are 1 and the same, or very nearly that. S 15:33:31 8/15/2010 (2)
        
        I still see them as their own branch of "extremism" who have perhaps branched off from Christianity. I don't think this is the belief of all Christians, by any means. r 15:46:09 8/15/2010 (1)

    - Haha-- Well said-- last sentence, starting with "IF." Good point!! We've got some repair work to do on that score ;+) S 14:41:35 8/15/2010 (0)
