I don't know if I answered this, but I have never been to Answers in Genesis. I never do online research.

You people know almost absolutely nothing about the Bible, don't you?

What do you mean "you people!?"

Oh! I see! Its God's fault. Never heard that one before, that is impressive. Those Bronze age goat herders were clever little rascals, eh?
No no, DLH; it's never YHWH's fault. No matter what he does, no matter how badly he screws up, no matter how utterly absurd and unscientific and inaccurate his scripture is, it's never his fault.

--I've said it before, I'll say it again: That is one sweet con YHWH has going on NB

If I would have posted it here they would have moved it over there. It is their way of discouraging and sort of regaining that control they don't have the guts or sense to posses in the real world.

Nope. I think if you search this forum, you will find a variety of threads on this sort of argument - e.g. here.

"Those who like the law or sausages should never watch either being made".

This seems like the worst combination of both!
