My original post on this thread was not to take part in a debate about the existence of God, His nature or the OP's thoughts on DNA. Those subjects have been done to death. I have actually been on both sides of the argument in some cases. What I have learned is that both sides get their licks in, nobody wins and nobody ever changes sides based on the debate. I liken it to a one way street that never ends.
My post was intended to clear up some misconceptions posted by heartc about what qualifies a persons claim to be a Christian. I may have answered to quickly and to emotionally. That I regret. I also believe I cleared up that misconception as well as I am able.

AngusJS, if you reread my post which you quoted you will see that I in no way suggested that these events were irrelevant because of when they happened or that they are a mystery. I said that the Law of Moses does not apply to me. Quite a difference. As to judging God or His actions you are free to do so. I believe I 'suggested' that our ability to do so is limited. That of course is based on who you believe He is. If he is a fictitious figure or even just a man, have at it. Heck I'll even join you. But if He is who He says He is, that's a different matter.

Lastly the Atheist Experience. I watched more than a few shows. Very uninformed callers some times being baited by these guys who seem well informed. It's entertainment I guess.

I would suggest as a change of pace some thing a little more enlightening. This is a pre debate discussion between two men I greatly admire. The late Christopher Hitchens, journalist and Atheist and John Lennox, University of Oxford Professor of Mathmatics and a Christian. The video speaks for itself. Hitchens BTW is very well behaved. He only said the f word once and appears to be sober. I really miss him.
