Religion's dying swan act: secularism is banishing it from the public square : Comments
By Max Wallace, published 5/1/2016Perhaps Christianity is indeed in decline. But the decline has nothing to do with assault from without, and everything to do with unbelief from within.

Never mind runner, I'm quite confident of the simple outline I offered. It fits neatly with a very useful book SCIENCE AND CREATIONISM. A view from the National Academy of Sciences [USA] published 1999. There can be no doubt that it is you who is confused. You cannot escape the proof to be found in your published record. So please, save the creationist waffle for your co-delusionalists.
ADAPTATION...........not adaption.
"You are right that god deniers/evolutionist have been changing their narrative each time they are found out."
I made no such admission runner, and you know it. Scientific ideas are by the very nature of the scientific method, always subject to change in the light of new knowledge. That is an advantage your belief system is denied. The freedom of thought, inquiry and interpretation within science is infinitely superior in enhancing human advancement when compared with the awful intellectual religious environment of two or three thousand years ago in the Middle East. Religious faith's Use By Date is at hand runner. Less and less does humankind suffer fear of retribution or other punishment for not doing the right thing. More and more are we extolling the Golden Rule where no threats from a fire-breathing, vengeful god are necessary.
"As to your explanation on beginning please spare us such fantasy. Science requires a person to be able to reason not accept fairytales such as the big bang."
I made no comment on origins or beginnings. Please be assured, you are the last person to lecture anyone on how science should be conducted. It is fortuitous that you mention "fairy tales", for readers here see these as your avocation, your raison d'etre. I've observed over the past year or two that you're really quite adept at the nonsensical and the ridiculous
and I'm certain that you'll entertain us with many laughs in the future.
I'm sorry about your dislexia. I'll make allowances for it in the future.
