many non-LDS theologians and philosophers are coming around to God being material in some way. The proof for divine embodiment was done by Sarot, and Stephen Webb has constructed an entire metaphysical scheme around it. You claim to be well versed in things scientific, why don't you design an exper...

You keep questioning my scientific credentials, and I don't really care. I'm trained to understand (and solve, if applicable) scientific models across physics, geology, chemistry, ecology, neuroscience, endocrinology, and infectious diseases (I might have forgotten some model in a different field). ...

Come on, nc47, you claim to be well versed in things scientific. If God has a body of flesh and bone, then his location in space can be specified. If this is the case, and if he hangs out outside the solar system, then he violates the laws of physics every time he answers a prayer or takes any imme...

Let me respond to the DNA question first, since it's the only point that actually contains any scientific analysis. This statement reflects a terrible misunderstanding of population genetics. I have posted references to the peer reviewed evidence to the contrary here so many times I will leave it to...

Day-um that's a lot "foundational" truth claims. Most religions have just one or two. Perhaps. However, Mormonism isn't most religions. Ask any Mormon. Tell me: which one of these could you deny or disobey and still receive a TR? Do you think that one could still get a TR with if one deni...

Cool cover with a prestigious publisher. You're welcome to buy it for me for Christmas.

I think that what NC47 is missing here is that the "movement" for Young Earth Creationism came about in response to the growing scientific movement which cast the Young Earth beliefs into doubt. Even if the "YEC movement" began only in the 1920s, that doesn't mean that YEC belie...

YEC the movement was started in the 1920s by George McBreardy. It gained steam in the 1960s. PS: Would you like a list a atheist intellectuals who have come out and said the New Atheists are just redneck-baiting? Among the New Atheists, Daniel Dennet is the only on one the list who makes serious ar...

The NAS statement holds that they partially overlap, hence not NOMA. You keep missing that point. Most scientists do not believe there is any conflict, and that is the position of the National Academy. Only a few outspoken ones do. In fact, many scientists get apprehensive whenever Dawkins opens hi...
