An Example of How to Compare Lies to Truth |
This is an actual example from a facebook posting by Ray Comfort. These are places where Atheist trolls hang out ready to attack. When over a dozen of them attack it once, it can be pretty scrambled, so you can't let yourself be thrown off track by their many tactics. Seeing this example shows how you can keep yourself from being blown off course. Because it becomes scrambled with many people posting at once, these postings have been put into a more sensible order so each of the many conversations can be followed more easily. Bob: Every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: Thank you for another great example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. All these things also suggest a young Earth. The key word is, Suggest. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error. That is revelation. It doesn't suggest different things depending on your assumptions and stories. It is absolute.
Bob: Thank you for providing the "revelation = a made-up story" story as another example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error. That is the real evidence. The problems don't arise in the observations. The problems arise in the filtering of the observations, the lies, the made-up stories, the arbitrary assumptions, and the irrational statements. If these are science, then science is not of much value. I personally think that science is a wonderful, God-given tool and that none of this flimflam is science.
Bob: What a great example of an irrational statement--just one more example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: Christ speaks any way He wants to--many ways. Every Christian experiences this to the degree we are submitted to the Christ. There is a made-up story that tries to imply that we aren't experiencing what we are experiencing, as irrational as such a story is. This is one more example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: Matthew, I can give you specifics of God's leading from my life and the lives of others, but in a public forum it would be casting pearls before swine. The leading of God is a very personal thing, which is probably why you never got anything but vague answers. If you really do have an open mind, you can email me through seekfind.net. Yet, my experience with closed-minded Atheists is that evidence has no effect on them. The are dogmatic over their beliefs in "not God" without any evidence except for made-up stories, outright lies, arbitrary assumptions, and irrational statements. Yet, when they are told of various incidents where God speaks and it is verified, they say something like, "There is a natural explanation for that," as if naturalism were the default. Naturalism is one of the arbitrary assumptions and it is actually a lie. So, write if you like, but . . .
Bob: The radiometric dating circular reasoning. Every method for trying to figure out how old the Earth is involves circular reasoning. Arbitrary assumptions are made. Change the assumptions and you change the age of the Earth. There is more to this flimflam, but enough said. This radiometric dating scam is a very good example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: All dating methods depend on arbitrary assumptions and circular reasoning and are another example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: Talkorigins is a place for those who love made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, outright lies, and irrational statements.
Bob: Using species (variations within kinds of living things) to prove macro-evolution is another example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error. Read "Without Excuse" by Werner Gitt. [this was a response to a comment that was later removed by the author, but, not to fear, another Atheist takes up the weapon and leads the charge.]
Bob: Matthew, The speciation-to-macro-evolution-against-all-the-evidence story is another example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. The Scientific Laws of Universal Information blow your argument apart. Read "Without Excuse" by Werner Gitt to understand that no Universal Information is ever added to cells by random chance. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error. (See: Information Theory Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. Here is another interesting article.) More is constantly being learned about information and about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Evolutionists tend to hide in the weeds of the unknown with an argument from ignorance: "If you can't prove, by empirical science, that evolution is impossible, then it happened." By empirical science alone, we can only prove probabilities. The probabilities show the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story to be a bazaar hypothesis, a story that is so improbable that it should not be considered. However, empirical science is not a tool that can prove anything to be true or false absolutely. For absolute proof, we have revelation. (See Basic and Concise Guide to Practical, Useful Logic and Reasoning). God says that He created everything. He is the One Who enforces the laws of nature. He is the One Who will judge all of us in the end. We know that because we know Him presonally through the indwelling Presence of Jesus Christ and the moment-by-moment instruction of the Holy Spirit.
Bob: The light travel story that involves many arbitrary assumptions. One more example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Rick H: Matthew, look around you are things getting better or worse? Can you point to a scientifically observed animal that changed kinds through the evolutionary process? Or are you exercising blind faith in those stories told by modern day professors?
Bob: Don't deny the speed of light, Philip, just made up stories about how the starlight got to the Earth and the arbitrary assumptions of Naturalism and the other arbitrary assumptions that are used to say that the Universe is over a few thousand years old.
Bob: Do you assume that during creation week God could not have had lots of time pass in one location while virtually no time passed in another location, either by natural or supernatural means? You see that this line of argument is another example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: You prove the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: Another irrational statement. A wonderful example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: There is a story told that claims that "there is more evidence for evolution than any other theory in biology; however, that story is a lie and one more example of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Those stories don't hold up to scrutiny. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error. Bob: Stories about supposed vestigial organs, such as the stories about the coccyx and appendix, are examples of the fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Those stories don't hold up to scrutiny. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: CW, do you mean the story of molecules-to-man evolution?
Bob: CW, I too was surprised when God showed me that every error and every argument against Him was based on some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Then, He showed me that He reveals Himself and His Truth/Reality. I suppose it may be profound, but I think it is quite simple. And every statement made here confirms it.
Bob: CW, all I have received from any ungodly troll here on this site has been some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. I am pointing out the obvious fact that every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements, which ungodly people believe because they keep repeating them over and over again. Christ followers don't follow such fables but we follow the Living Christ and we know Him by ongoing experience, not stories that are repeated continuously. Do you comprehend the vast difference between the fables of the ungodly and the reality of the follower of Christ?
Bob: Justin, what is your point? Bart V: Justin L., No one before the 1830s believed that medieval people thought that the earth was flat.
Bob: Reyn, the stories told about the observations of plate tectonics are stories. Stories can't prove anything. Isn't it funny that so many people build their entire lives on made-up stories when Jesus Christ will reveal reality to them if they will just turn to Him and stop being so stubborn and closed-minded toward Him and open-minded toward lies. [Note: The tectonic plate movement has been modeled during the period of the flood with all the violent volcanic activity. The plates would have been moving at about the pace of a fast walk. And this model fits the evidence much better than the Millions-of-Years model. The movement of the plates caused the mountains to rise up at the end of the flood and the valleys in the depths of what is now the oceans to sink down.]
Bob: I don't know of anyone who denies the observations related to plate tectonics or continental drift. There are several models/stories that are told about the observations. Those are just stories that attempt to explain the observations, and they tell very different tales.
Bob: Reyn, the Bible's account of the origin of the Earth is revelation. The comparison between revelation and what ungodly people believe is the difference between truth and lies. All Scripture is breathed out by God, both when it was written and whenever it is read. People have been trying to shoot a hole it, at the direction of Satan, for thousands of years and have not been able to. The story you tell about the Bible being made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements is itself a made-up story and an outright lie. How do we know? Because of God's holy Presence and His direct revelation to each of us that the Bible is His Word and that it is without error.
Bob: Eric, So you tell a story that claims that ungodly people making caustic comments on a Christian's facebook page is not trolling, but to state the obvious fact that "every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements" is trolling, and to give testimony that "followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error" is trolling. That is an interesting story you tell.
Bob: Nean, better check your historical facts and also find out about irrational arguments from ignorance. Every evidence for an old Earth or for evolution consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. Those stories don't hold up to scrutiny. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Don T: Nean, the Roman Governor Pliny mentions Christians gathering on a particular day of the week, before dawn, singing hyms to Jesus "as unto a God." The Roman historian Tacitus mentions Jesus in the connection with the great fire of Rome and how Nero blamed the Christians for it. He then explains that they were named for a Christ who was crucified under Pontius Pilate. The Jewish historian Josephus mentions Jesus, Suetonius mentions Jesus, the Jewish rabbinic traditions mention Jesus as well as other ancient writings. Don T: The uniformity of the early church is that Matthew (a disciple), John Mark ( a colleague of Peter, also a disciple), Luke ( a historian and companion of Paul), and either John the apostle (likely) or John the elder wrote the gospels. [Don T. is very knowledgeable, but evidence has no effect on a dogmatic Atheist.]
Bob: Nean, You bring up a fourth option I had not mentioned. Misrepresentation of facts. That and an irrational argument from ignorance. Also, note that followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error.
Bob: Nean, The way to understand history is by revelation from God Who cannot lie. There is no artifact or evidence that refutes what God says about history through His Scripture. None. Every evidence against God consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, irrational thinking, or outright misrepresentations.
Bob: Daniel, You have brought up a good point, which just substantiates the fact that every evidence against God consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, irrational thinking, or outright misrepresentations. However, we, who follow Christ, do not follow cleverly designed fables and stories, fabrications of our minds. We follow the living Christ, the God Who is holding everything together and enforcing the laws of nature moment by moment. He is the One Who reveals Himself to anyone who seeks Him in sincerity and Who must execute righteous judgement against those who do evil and who refuse to come to Him.
Bob: Thank you Nean for one more example of that fact that every evidence against God consists of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, irrational thinking, or outright misrepresentations. On the other hand is actual empirical evidence, that is by evidence by experience. Every person who follows Christ is led by Him. They all hear His Voice. This is reality, not made-up stories.
Bob: Nean, you would have to supply more than just made-up stories, irrational statements like arguments from ignorance, outright lies, and arbitrary assumptions. The story that Jesus is a belief is among these stories and assumptions. Our faith is not like your make-belief pseudofaith. It is a supernatural belief and trust that comes when God speaks. This is why this kind of faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Accepting the revelation that comes from Jesus Christ in real time is building on the Rock. In other words, our evidence is that which comes by God speaking to us.
Bob: Thank you, Matthew, for a great example of the "The Bible is made up" story. What you said is like every statement made against God or His Scripture. They all consist of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, outright lies, or irrational statements. Followers of Christ follow Christ Himself. He speaks to them and leads them. He reveals to them that the Bible is His Word without error. So, it's made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, outright lies, and irrational statements opposed to revelation from the Almighty God Who cannot lie.
Bob: That's a fantastic story, Ameet. I enjoy these examples. They confirm that every attack against God and His Scripture is dependent on some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, outright lies, or irrational statements. Those who follow Christ, on the other hand, don't follow cleverly designed fables and stories or fabrications from their minds, but they follow the Living Christ. Christ is not a theory. He is a Person Who reveals Himself to anyone who sincerely comes to Him in humble submission.
Bob: Ameet, there are no races according to God. The only race is the human race. Racism is an evolution/atheist concept. Now, you can see what I meant when I said, "...every attack against God and His Scripture is dependent on some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, outright lies, or irrational statements. Those who follow Christ, on the other hand, don't follow cleverly designed fables and stories or fabrications from their minds, but they follow the Living Christ. Christ is not a theory. He is a Person Who reveals Himself to anyone who sincerely comes to Him in humble submission." Your last comment would fall either under the category of an outright lie or else an irrational statement.
Bob: We are all one race, and God commands that we all love each other. This is what is known as the Law of God. That kind of love is humanly impossible, but through Christ it is possible. That is what God reveals to us. People who believe in race are racist and they don't believe God. Every argument against Jesus Christ is based firmly upon irrational statements, outright lies, made-up stories, or arbitrary assumptions.
Bob: Meister and Sean. It must be quite disconcerting to find out that there is no thought against God or the Bible that didn't consist of some combination of made-up stories, arbitrary assumptions, or irrational statements. The history of Scripture shows that God puts His salvation out for everyone, but they won't come, so He works with those who will come to try to reach those who won't come. Making up a different story from this just presents one more example of a made-up story. As to repetition, some people need repetition to get it.
