Thank you. I was addressing your post one piece at a time, as I disagreed with most of it. I came to the part about service and it made my blood boil. It really did. I had a very difficult time showing restraint. I wish that one of my cousins still had his website up, which had pictures of all of "The Boys" in uniform, from Grandpa to present (just on my father's side of the family). When I said "well over a dozen", I wasn't kidding. His site is down, darnit.
We have had a number of discussions on FR, and they have been quite civil for the most part. I would like that to continue.
I meant "homework" figuratively. I gave you the facts. If you want the details, you can study history. Totalitarian socialist movements are invariably atheistic, and both Marxism-Leninism and National Socialism were influenced by evolutionary thinking. Hitler thought the Germans were the master race, the highest achievement of evolution. He simply wanted to give a push to the natural process, to speed things up, to improve the collective human gene pool, so to speak. Both he and the Soviet and Chicom leaders were completely uninhibited by Christian beliefs, which would have made them unwilling to slaughter millions of people.
I think heres a great lesson to learn...dont start knocking what one might perceive as a another posters lack of military experience either personally, or within their family....start doing that, and the person doing the knocking is likely to find themself, quite embarrassed by the true facts when they come out...
Seams to me that Hitler, the Soviet's and the Chicom's tried to design what they considered a better way of life.
Not much evolutionary or ID theory in anything they did.
TToE is silent on the designer of the Universe. In fact, I as well as many on this thread, marvel at the vastness and glory of a designer (who we also believe loves us personally, and that is made even more astounding).
A God that goes "*whap* Here is Adam" is a God that is personal and understandable -- Gandalf writ large. A God that could stand outside the Universe (or all Universes as it were) and design every little tiny aspect is a God that is way too awesome and uncomprehendable.
I, for one, will not diminish God.
I think Satan is served when people believe anything other than God.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except by me."
In short, there is no problem with Truth. Faith in God says that God's way will be perfectly aligned with Truth.
Folks simply need to slide right into God's salvation that He's purchased for them through the sacrifice of His Son. If they resist they continue in their lost state.
From that perspective of faith, those who are sincere in their faith in Christ can rest in the knowledge that God's in control of everything....including origins and endings.
Hitler thought the Germans were the master race, the highest achievement of evolution.
Since you persist in being nasty...."Hitler thought the Germans were the master race, the highest achievement of creation evolution"...I fixed it for you. I don't think Hitler thought Jews and Aryans had a common ancestor, do you?
Actually once I saw "Pekingman" I knew that you had a bunch of fakes. But if you want to believe in a bunch of fake rocks thats your business.

Excuse me, but where do you see in my words that I specifically questioned somebody's military experience? Did I even bring up the subject? No. The subject was tyranny, particulary the accusation that God and those who speak on His behalf are tyrants. Get a grip.
So I have you trapped. You are an insult artist and a little child who can't truly reason or argue anything.
Ad hominem is your stock in trade. You talk a good gane (I even complimented your religious post earlier), but you are a hypocrite.
I thank you for giving us the best example of the species: CRIDERus HYPOCRITus INSULTus.
Then please elaborate.
Are we now having a Bible quiz?....I would ask you this...since you will no doubt say that you believe it, do you completely keep yourself and your family and your animals from any work at all, as is told in the verse?
I will contemplate this further...I tried to get away from this thread earlier, and need to really do so now...but surely I will return and we can continue, should we wish to...
Have a nice evening...
Those who do bad in the name of God are the best tools of Satan.
If I understand correctly, there is no "or else". Every knee shall bow, including those destined for hell. P-Marlowe, please correct me if I'm wrong on this.
I have been able to show these threads to my very "liberal/progressive" roommate and she is blown away that this kind of discussion can happen here on a "Conservative web site".
Now that's something I liked to hear.
You need to read something about what those people believed in, and how they arrived at their hellish view of the world. For example, there was an interesting post on FR recently, showing how dominant intellectual fashions in 19th century Germany directly led to communism, National Socialism, and anti-Semitism. As I said before, "ideas have consequences." That's why everyone who values our kind of nation should worry about stuffing a simplified version of evolution into the heads of very young kids, while simultaneously driving all traditional Judeo-Christian belief out of the schools and out of public life.
And nobody can prove we are even here, what a farce. You guys are really reaching now. Most of science has more evidence than your cult. How did the eye "evolve"? What good is an eye that doesn't work do? Let me hear your "theory".
Why did everything evolve all at once and hasn't evolved since??
Darwin is to science what The Treason Times is to Truth.

As should we all.
Human instruments are about as comparable to an intelligence that could actually engineer speciation as a stone ax is to a plasma etcher...
We aren't that freakin' smart really...
There is no more evidence that life evolved on this earth than there is for life to have been delivered or engineered here by extraterrestrials (in our midst)...
And, no, I am not an ID proponent (whatever the hell that means).

RFC_Gal: Quite a few large bio related companies use evolution theory and other derived theories to make new drugs and treatments.
What happens when some of those "geniuses" create something we cannot get rid of??? (You don't want to go there, because the idiots already have...)
