I love reading this site and enjoy the back and forth. But the snark of this conversations seems to serve no useful end. In a sense you are speaking past each other just taking jabs. I think you can do better.
I beleive God had a reason for the Amalikite destruction, as he said “Their cup of iniquity was full”. What might that mean? There were groups that practiced child sacrifice and other more ghoulish acts, etc. It is not completely clear, but apparently God had his reasons. I beleive the other destructive events could be explained in a similar fashion.
There are assumptions here, but not unreasonable one. I don’t think so much snark is necessary though.

ET @34, my point is that if the only threat preventing this tidal wave of anti Darwin academics from speaking is losing their jobs, then they are not the kind of people that one could describe as having the courage of their convictions. Think of all the people in history who have spoken and published in risk of losing their life or liberty. Your heroes are silent in case they lose their jobs!

Allen Shepherd, seriously, you are ok with saying God apparently had his reasons for wanting babies to be killed? You don’t think he could have come up with a better solution for dealing with some bad men than killing their babies? Isn’t he meant to be omnipotent?
And following on from my comment above, how do you know he doesn’t “have his reasons” for wanting babies to be aborted? |
