oldman,
I refer you Archer's Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties and he makes a very important point. The original population who lived in Tyre were besieged by Nebbuchadnezzar. The mainland port was destroy by him, but not the island part of Tyre, also called Tyre. This was distroyed by Alexander, who built a causeway by using the rubble of the mainland port of Tyre, thus casting it into the sea. He then totally destroyed the island city of Tyre, which later sunk beneath the waves and is only a series of reefs, obviously never to be rebuilt. So the prophecy remains true.
On the issue of the mutant dog. I fail to see how this is erroneous information or how this helps your case. You confuse breed of dog with the species of dog (canis familiaris). This in no way helps your case. Point out a better example of an error they don't admit to.
On the HIV issue, I do not believe that it was "designed" by God. God allowed it to mutate. We are commanded by Him to help others. Attempting to alleviate others' suffering is what we try to do. This means we are not directly going against God's work. Obviously, those who put themselves at risk with behavior contrary to God's commands are still able to receive our help.
It is very interesting to me to note that everything considered "bad" by most people, evos. included, such as weeds and diseases and pests of all sorts like rats, flies, and cockroaches resist even our best efforts to erradicate them. We now are at about 20+ STDs and we used to have only two or three. I refer you to the bird. I agree very beautiful indeed. But could we wipe it out? Sure! How about endangered species? Sure! but the cockroach? Nope. And smallpox is only one of a huge list of viruses yet to be wiped out.
To those who wave Walt Brown in my face, AIG does not buy into his work thank you very much.
