Just going point-by-point on the subjects mentioned in your own post would likely occupy the bulk of my writing time, which is, these days, very limited, for months!<br /><br />I haven't dwelt overmuch on creationism because whether a person is YEC or OEC is not, in my opinion, the main issue. I do think that it is pretty obvious that there is a Creator, so much so that I pretty much flatly refuse to interact with flat-out atheists, as they are seldom so interested in investigating the truth as they are in chucking verbal feces at the church windows. While I do think that there are issues involving interpretation (etc and obviously) depending on which age-of-the-earth view one adopts, ultimately I don't feel like spending hours and hours debating, with people who actually believe the Bible and trust Christ as Savior, whether the "days" are "days" or "ages," etc. It's not that it doesn't <i>matter</i>, it's that there are plenty of other things to engage my attention and my extremely limited time and I do think the subject has been adequately addressed elsewhere. <br /><br />For what it's worth, I have not been to RationalWiki, though in my experience, "rational" is usually a giveaway that a site is run by people who aren't particularly so, very often by flaming libs or atheists, as they particularly like to style themselves "rational" as opposed to all who disagree with them, so I am not, to say the least, inclined to check them out anytime soon; I have been, in the past, to talk.origins many times, found it not very impressive, and left it alone thereafter.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment and your interest. I hope I didn't sound snotty in my reply. I once spent hours and hours and hours in a study of this subject and am satisfied that I have it generally correct, but also satisfied that no one is going to stay out of Heaven if he doesn't understand the "days" in Genesis the same way I do. Give himself some interpretational difficulties, yes, stay out of Heaven, no.Man of the Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691063580228409415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377354642754058446.post-9964709422761876462012-03-14T13:34:33.787-07:002012-03-14T13:34:33.787-07:00Stumbled across this blog somehow, and it looks ne...Stumbled across this blog somehow, and it looks neat! I do have one question, though ... you identify yourself as a young-earth Creationist, so I wonder how you respond to the information published on RationalWiki and the talk.origins archive. I used to be a staunch YEC-er, but when faced with the facts found in these and other sources, I had to change my perspective.<br /><br />http://www.thedrantherlair.com/2011/10/walls-again-collapse/Scottie Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099860439442581243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377354642754058446.post-62373381364382285832010-09-11T06:37:07.701-07:002010-09-11T06:37:07.701-07:00Your words: ••Realize that college and education a...Your words: ••Realize that college and education are only tangentially related, and don't make the idiotic mistake of treating only the degreed as intelligent, educated people.•• Current POTUS is a very prime example of this erroneous belief. Pat P put me onto this blog. He and I are a strange pairing in the friendship arena. I understand N/C Presby but Magnolia Dojo is foreign to me. As a PhD he has learned to dumb down his conversational chatter due to the local environment in which we live. (smile) Your comment with the "Howdy" threw me off. I mistakenly assumed Texas. Cheers.

The template itself is not a Blogger template, though it was designed, obviously, to work with blogger. "Tri-column" something-or-other. But once the template was in place, all I have to do is go to "layout" on blogger, choose a widget, and choose where to park it. Ever after, adding a link is quick and easy.Man of the Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691063580228409415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377354642754058446.post-36778045484054981622009-07-06T15:30:28.067-07:002009-07-06T15:30:28.067-07:00Hey!

Is that a widget, or are you hand coding the rss feeds in for every one? I'd like to do the same thing, but it seems like a lot of work if it's all rss feeds.<br /><br />Thanks for the link back, too!<br /><br />Russ (over at pondrings).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377354642754058446.post-28525865677920895002009-06-10T11:11:36.645-07:002009-06-10T11:11:36.645-07:00I'm from Oklahoma too, and am an SBC Calvinist...I'm from Oklahoma too, and am an SBC Calvinist.<br />If we live in the sorta-same area, maybe we could chat about local happenings.<br />If you'd like, email me at my profile.<br /><br />Grace and peace<br />RhologyRhologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245825667079220242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377354642754058446.post-52321086402301972482009-02-15T18:08:00.000-08:002009-02-15T18:08:00.000-08:00Thanks for the compliments--I look forward to seei...Thanks for the compliments--I look forward to seeing you here.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm not entirely sure how to pronounce it.
