Quote# 2408

Well, that's the THEORY, anyway. Of course, no one's ever seen it happen, or found an intermediate fossil that proves the graduallist viewpoint. They've found stuff that supports punctuated equilibrium, but PE is just a convoluted way of saying God, so why not just cut to the chase?

Quote# 2409

Evolution occurs in sudden giant leaps, remember? That means that one day you have hyracotherium, and the next it births the next one in the chain. 'Punctuatedly equilibriumized' refers to the genes in mama and papa that will combine to become a whole new species inside mama. I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous. Imagine the difficulty I had swallowing it. I'm just repeating it back to you.

Quote# 2410

The male's size doesn't matter, he's not giving birth to a whole new larger species, the female is. Only his genes matter.

Quote# 2411

Remember the 'Mars life-bearing rocks'? Those scientists found fossilised TRACES OF BIOCHEMICALS. This point is mine, all mine, and I'm not relinquishing it. No fossils = never existed.

Quote# 2412

Then how does one explain the origin of the complex courtship rituals of peacocks and men? If evolution favors simplicity, why isn’t rape our standard modus operandi? Certainly it is simpler and more efficient than chocolates and dinner-with-the-parents.

Quote# 2413

I think you're trying to turn this into something it's not. You can't equate personally rejecting Christ with not believing the accuracy of a historical account. [...] This is apples to oranges stuff. If you don't believe Jesus rose from the dead, then you're rejecting your only hope to escape the punishment we all deserve for our sins.

Quote# 2414

The basic fundamental beliefs (or presuppositions) of the atheistic philosophy claims that we live in a universe that is eternal (meaning, not created), and that the universe operates by randomness and chance. And that all that exists is matter in motion. So, we conclude the following.... 1.There can't be any absolutes (since this contradicts the belief that the universe is random and chance-like (a Darwinion presupposition as well) 2.There can not be anything supernatural or anything non-material. 3.We can't know anything (since knowledge may evolve) A consistent atheist would have to live his life not doing or saying anything, but just waiting. If there are no absolutes or non-material things then laws of science and math can't exist. Neither can the laws of logic exist (thereby stripping the atheist of his capacity to debate or reason about anything, or have any sort of intellectual discourse). Morals don't exist (so the atheist can't throw in the argument that since God is all-good and all-powerful, then He can't exist since evil exists as well. Yet, evil presupposes a standard of good, and that standard is God).

Everything i have read in the bible shows God not to be a very rational supreme being. And his ability to ...... i cant even express the pure magnifacance<sp>of the lords abilties. But i do believe god has set forth the laws of the universe and followed himself to whatever end this crazy rollercoaster ride is for.

It's scriptural for me to pray for victory over our enemies. If you don't like it you can pray for the other guys.

I do agree that a Muslim ruler or majority would be disastrous though. They are only 'tolerant' when they are in the minority.

Quote# 2418

do you assume that gravity exists in the Andromeda galaxy? I mean, we see stars moving and such (and moving really fast at the center), but who's to say that gravity is causing it?

IMHO unicorns were dinosaurs. Since they were unknown when the KJV bible was translated, the Hebrew word was mistranslated into English.

Because there is so much evidence for His existence (and also His Resurrection btw) that to question it is comparable to questioning the existence of JFK.

Quote# 2423

Very very bad example of evolution. The bacteria gets 'used' to the antibiotics and eventually becomes immune to it. Same concept as weight lifting. If you keep doing the same exercises over and over with no variation, your muscles will get used to the exercise and never increase. That and evolution is a process of gradual change over long periods of time, not a couple days in your school bio lab.

And not that the Beserk One cares, since he doesn't believe in any God anyway. But like a lot of misotheists, he's happy to use the likes of Bubba, QED and JJRamsey [Christians who accept evolution] as 'useful idiots' (Lenin's phrase) to help undermine Christianity by white-anting the very first book of the Bible.

Jesus was an excellent teacher, yet you would have us believe that He was misunderstood for 1800 years until Christ-haters like Lyell, Darwin and Huxley uncovered the true history of the Earth and life upon it.

These books you've read [on the historical origins of the New Testament],do you believe them to be the truth? Just as the bible was inpired by God, lots of other books have been inspired by satan to make us doubt our faith.

God never intended for man to venture out into space on his own. That's why the shuttle blew up. There is also a very scientific and historical reason why no astronaut ever died IN SPACE.

Quote# 2429

No & no, I would never contemplate becoming "friends" with one. They physically repel me. In any case, given that I believe all unrepentant homosexuals over 21 ought to be executed, they are hardly likely to want to be friends with me.

Quote# 2430

It [the Bible] also serves as a personal moral code and as a moral basis for enacting legislation. Just as the death penalty is retained for murder, so ought it to be retained for homosexuality. It reflects the seriousness of the crime before God, and its deeply corrupting influence. (Of course the deist/atheist society of today does not recognize this - but then that is its problem.)

Remember, the Jews thought they were more observant than God at one time, and refused to commit genocide. As a result, they are still tortured by that bloodline.

Quote# 2432

I told her the Bible says these things must come to pass and not to fear and she said 'the bible isn't the only word of God' and 'all religions tell you not to fear' and 'there are lots of paths that lead to God' . I told her of all gods people worship, Jesus is the only one who claims he is coming back, she paused for a minute, said she 'believes' in God and that was that. I looked at her with pity, thinking of the flames....
