Btw
Do you also deny saying: "For the scientific community to claim that they have no preconcieved bias is just as laughableas the News Media claiming that they have no liberal bias."
And to Aaron:
"I pity you because you can probably quote Bible verses out the butt, but you have no idea the true
meaning and beauty of the words. You’re no different than the Taliban." Aug. 31 http://www.astronomy.net/forums/god/messages/21090
Scott writes (accusing me of misquoting him more than a dozen times?):
"Yeah, you copied some it from other peoples' posts."
Response:
We all make mistakes. Yours in this case are a little bigger than mine. In this post, I've copied in the link to each statement you deny saying. I haven't found two of them yet and have to be on to other duties. But they have "Scott's cadence."
Deny them if you will.

Remember, using morality to justify objective validity is not logically consistent. It is impossible for both religions to be objectively correct (Hindu belief in reincarnation, Christian belief in one God, Christian belief that all non-Christians (which includes Hindues) burn in Hell, etc.) The two religions are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. - Aug. 30

I have no problem with the idea that science and theology can intermingle (and even be one and the same in specific instances). As far as your thoughts on the Koran predicting certain scientific modes of thought, I find that fascinating. - Aug. 30

All science and all religion is interpreted by very fallible human beings. In both cases (religion and science), we can be absolutely right--and both cases (religion and science), we can be absolutely wrong. – Aug. 30

Of course, the fact is we won't TRULY know until we do die...assuming there's something to know...assuming we don't simply snap out of existance. That being the alternative, all we can have is our faith. I'm comfortable with that. -- Aug. 30

By the way, earlier I wrote, "just let me have my faith. Don't chastise me for it. (I'm saying you are--you're not. I'm just speaking hypothetically.) Oops, typo, my bad... That SHOULD have read "I'm NOT saying you are..." Hope you understood. -Aug. 31

Our congregation is the fourth oldest in the state of Texas, and bishops from London and Canterbury visit us on somewhat regular basis.

Therefore, if it is my faith which is being questioned by science, then the burden of proof
that it doesn't exist or never happened falls, not to me, but to the scientist making the charge. The problem, at this point, is he can't prove it or disprove it. – Sept. 1

(to Aaron) You say good works won't get you into heaven, so why bother? You're much too busy sitting in your room praising the Lord. Tell me, which of you has truly carried out God's word? You sitting in your room praising the Lord or the Muslim, the Hindu, and the Buddhist who actually went in to help her? Who will God favor? You or them? - Sept. 1

Mike, up to a point, I had been enjoying our conversation and fair exchange of ideas. But I sense that you're getting frustrated. I'm not sure if it's because you're having trouble countering my level headed opinions (perhaps because you've been twisting my words and basing your arguments on assertions that I've never made or even considered), but you're now bordering on irrational... Up until this thread, I have been nothing but patient, reasonable, and polite.
So, context is important, eh?
