    Who or what was chasing them?

    In order to explain the fact that fosselized dinosaur tracks can be found in sedimentary layers above other layers with other dinosaur tracks the floowing explanation was given by Younf Earth Creationists,

    While the flood waters were rising there were great surges of water, These surges came up ove the remaining land areas, The dinosaurs would run away from the surge in one direction laying down tracksh, the surge would then deposit sediments over those tracks, Later those dinosaurs whould be chased back the other way over the same spot by another surge of water, laying down more tracks that got covered up. In this was multple layers were layed down with dinosaur tracks in some of the layers one over another

    You want me as a creationist to drop my belief that there is a Creator

    I would be very happy if you considered very carefully what the Bible's Creation account says, and what it doesn't say, and remain open to all the possibilities, and not try to force any particular idea into the text with explanations of observed phenomina that are absurd. Explanations like dinosaurs being chased back and forth over the same spot by the churning waters of Noah;s flood, so they left tracks in sedimentary layers on top of other tracks.

    How would you describe the Pharisees and Sadducee's?  

    In many ways the Pharisees were like our Chirstian Funamentalists who add a bunch of laws to the Gospel, the Sadducees were like modern liberal Christians who reduce the faith to mere social values and deny the spiritual.

    Why doesn't it work to focus on the harm they might be doing?  Do fundamentalists not care if they harm others, in general?

    Because unless you can show them thier actions are unbiblcal they are not going to change. They also will probably not believe you about the harm

    I dare to disagree. Your point is only valid if you see Christianity only as peacefull and caring. Is it that?.. the Bible tells different.

    There are passages in the Old Testament that are violent. A proper theological understanding of the whole Bible, Old and New treatments shows that this violence is not to be practiced today.

    What do we do with people who, when one points out (even in the most gentle manner) that they are doing something wrong by harming another, choose to feel they are being persecuted?

    When a Christian's actions cause harm. It is because his or her theology is flawed, and the only solution is to focus on the theology and convince them of thier errors. Focusing on the harm they do will not work.

    I understand most points of view very well when talking about Christianity

    Except that Chistianity is far more diverse than what you were exposed to. In one of your posts you said man's free will is central to the Bible, but in actually free will is one of the most debated and divisive ideas in Christianity.

    I feel a need to confront their mindset to protect others who are victimized by it.

    Perhaps you don't understand how their mindset harms others?

    Oh I understand, I also inderstand that your "confrontation" is seen by them as persecution, and that makes them think they are martyrs doing the work of God.

    But all that is just my opinion and my previous posts have just been expressing that opinion which has allowed me to see science and religion as not too dissimilar.

    I have on several occasions attemted to give insight into the reasons behind commonly held opinions, sometimes these are opinions I do not hold, but people close to me that I know well hold.  Each time I get laughed at and attacked, this leads me to the conclusion that mo one really cares to try to understand the people they disagree with.

  11. I have concluded no one cares why other people think the way they do, everyone just wants to shout thier own opinion and ignore the thoughts that lead other to belive different things. No one ever said that you have to accept what others believe if you understand why they believe it. I have no desire to be part of a shouting match, so I will leave the rest of you to it.

    If this is the case (Abraham hearing the Sumerian texts and passing those down) then surely you are not suggesting that Abrahams version is inspired by God because it is in the Bible and the Sumerian text isn't, despite those stories clearly coming from the Sumerian civilization first.

    If God can get into Abraham's head and tell him what to write, then He can get into the Sumerians heads and well and tell them what to write in preparation of Abrahams writing, The earlier texts are not "inspired" in the sense that they are not the final authoritive version, but they still may mave been influenced by God in preparation of the final text.

    Where do the Bible books of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees (the books that are part of the Catholic but not the Protestant Bible) fall?

    Obviously the Catholics think the Protestant Bible is incomplete, The protestant's think the catholics have added books that do not belong. While the two have different opinions on what is inspired, They both hold to a complete body of inspired texts,

    I believe that God is Love, a big heartfelt YES evident in all of creation. I don't believe God has the type of agency you are pointing to, but instead believe that when we choose to know the characteristics of God, in varying degrees, then greatness (love) can manifest in humans.  It's like we 'tune in to' the more expansive parts of the Universe that always exist.

    So your God doesn't inspire any writings at all, which is fine if that is what you believe. I was merely pointing out that the idea that He inspires some, but not all. is a problamatic notion, it is all of it or none of it.

    Well what about thinking that perhaps parts of the Bible were inspired?

    Why would this be true. If God exists, and He wanted to comunicate with mankind by inspireing men to write what He wanted to say, is He then so powerless that He could not prevent the inspired parts from being mixed up with uninspired parts and thus clowding the issue? isn't much more likely that if God inspires His word, that he is then able to preserve it, and keep it separate from non-inspired writings?
