Ok. So here's a webpage some of you may care to check out: http://www.answersingenesis.com
It's run by a Christian group that's currently working on a Creation Science Museum. Anyway, there are lots of articles about all kinds of stuff, so plenty of fodder for discussions... I haven't read them all (I don't have that much time!) but would happily read any that someone wants to talk about... and to start stuff off, here's a paragraph from the article on Evolution...
"I’ve found that a Christian who understands these things can actually put on the evolutionist’s glasses (without accepting the presuppositions as true) and understand how they look at evidence. However, for a number of reasons, including spiritual ones, a non-Christian usually can’t put on the Christian’s glasses—unless they recognize the presuppositional nature of the battle and are thus beginning to question their own presuppositions."
I find it entertaining that the author seems to feel that when a Christian looks at things from the evolutionist point of view they are being understanding, but when an evolutionist looks at things from a creationist point of view they are questioning themselves. Also, why is it that they use Christian and creationist interchangeably? Because I know a lot of Christians who have managed to understand/believe evolution without dropping out of the church.
Anyway... lunch break's over, off I go to look at bacteria!
