I love the discussions and learning how other people think, but i am not here to change anyone's mind and not really here to have a fundamental paradigm shift in my views. Why can't we share our views and reasons why we hold them without trying to change people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the discussions and learning how other people think, but i am not here to change anyone's mind and not really here to have a fundamental paradigm shift in my views. Why can't we share our views and reasons why we hold them without trying to change people?  I'm not sure. I enjoy sharing my views and reading what others have to say, but you may have noticed that I often "accuse" some of the members of trying to convert. I'm not that way, but I do love a good debate and I will even stay in a debate when it gets a little heated as a result. I noticed you ask a lot of questions, I tend to do the same. I have studied young earth creationism for just over a decade and the geocentric model is not the only thing disagree with.  I have issues with evolution I do not want to bring up here...philisophycal reasons for not liking evolution and I think they add little to "science vs. faith".

Nice to deal with this kind of people, for a change.    I find it interesting to say the least, but if your only desire is to convert, then you may be wasting your time. If you enjoy talking about it, by all means, please enlighten me. I would love to here about a stationary planet. Just don't start out frusterated thinking it is a conversion thing...it is simply a fun discussion.  Well, I certainly don’t talk for the sake of talking. Since you exclude any possible result, then it’s obvious we SHOULDN’T talk about that.    With that, I believe the earth rotates because that is what I was taught in school and I believe we went to the moon and I have been taught that a moon landing would have missed if calculated using the geocentric model.    I think you believe too much in man. I think it’s time for you to believe in God, instead.  And by the way, a geocentric model is exactly what they used. That is, of course, assuming they were there in the first place. A thing I’m not so sure about. But it doesn’t bother me, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps praying that God would open people's eyes to the truth would be the best thing? God bless, GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
