Originally posted by RJHindsThe problem, aptly pointed out in the reference to the lollipop, is that you have zero interest in discussing anything. You post nauseating videos and you offer the same inane declarations over and over (most refuted at talkorigins.org).
I don't have your lollipop, and i would much rather discuss creation science and the stupidity of the theory of evilution.
Arguing with you is never a discussion, never a true argument, but rather a quarrel. It's like two kids on the playground: "it's mine," "no, it's mine," you're wrong, it's mine, I saw it first," "you're stupid," "you're ignorant," "give me back my lollipop".
If you want to discuss, or argue, present some evidence. Discuss that evidence rationally.
I've offered for your consideration my assessment of the problem: your reading of Genesis is rooted in a kind of literalism that no one anywhere in the world used to approach literary texts prior to about 200 years ago.
If you disagree, fine. Assert that you're right and I'm wrong, and give me back my lollipop.
If you want to make the case that I'm wrong, put forth a cogent argument for employing modern literalism in the understanding of ancient texts. Demonstrate why the conventions of Hebrew poetry are in fact literal assertions of fact.
I've been gone from this site for several years. Coming back now for a visit, I find that the only thing that has changed in your presentations stems from Russ's technical improvements to the site: you are able to post direct links to YouTube.
