He is adamant and tenacious, but it is not clear that he is ignorant and uneducated. Eusebius operates under the presumption that His God can do anything, period. This is why he presents some of his absurd rationalizations in defense of the fables he believes must have happened however illogical and counterfactual they are. That is a unique relationship with science and facts, but not necessarily an ignorant and uneducated one. It is a zealous one.

Science always qualifies its conclusions and allows for uncertainty, Eusebius. That does NOT mean there is any significant doubt. When you read with a bias, your cognitive dissonance causes you to focus on what supports your prejudices and ignore what defeats them.

True. He's made up his mind and facts aren't going to change it. Once someone has decided they are right.... it's fruitless to try and show them they aren't.

Euse promotes in his posts:

Quote:
Approximately 1 to 4% of non-African modern human DNA is shared with Neanderthals.
All righty then. Fascinating. Thanks for posting.

The Neanderthals died off around 30 some thousand years ago. Humans were created by God between 6 and 10 thousand years ago. Therefore, the facts are that it is impossible for humans to have had sex with Neanderthals. Of course I've made up my mind and falsehoods aren't going to change that. You have decided you are right and it is fruitless to try to show you that you are incorrect.

The Bible never prefaces what it states in its historical accounts with uncertainty Mystic. They are historical facts.
No current science defeats the fact that God created humanity in a day, not millions or billions of years.

So you think god created neanderthals more than 20,000 years before modern humans? How could that be since you believe the earth and all that it contains was created only 6 to 10 thousand years ago? So tell me where did neanderthals live while they waited for your god to create earth? Your convoluted creation myths are beyond silly.

Eusie spins a 2-Earth yarn.

See, first god created earth and there were plants and animals and I guess some Neanderthals, then he had one of his tantrums and destroyed it.

And then he magi-poofed EarthII: The Sequel - The Myth Continues. And THAT's the one where he made the mud man and rib woman 6,000 years ago.

See, it's perfectly Eusielogical*.




* I think I might have coined another one.

I like it! Another great word creation. I have always parsed Eusebius' posts with an eye to his namesake. The original Eusebius was one of the original "liars for Christ." He publicly avowed that he was justified to lie to promote his preferred beliefs. I have often wondered if our Eusebius was simply carrying on the tradition of his namesake.
