I see, so this is the bottom line for you.

Religion/creationism GOOD

Science/Evolution BAD

Do I have that right?

Also, you like to throw the word Messiah around a lot, can you tell me what it's TRUE Judaic root meaning is?

In other words, what does Messiah MEAN?

If you would allow a change from "religion" to "God" being good and if you'd allow me to clarify that "theories" in and of themselves are not necessarily good or bad, but the paths upon which a theory leads you ultimately lead to good or evil, then, yes, you have that right. This is what I believe -- it's the bottom line.

"Also, you like to throw the word Messiah around a lot, can you tell me what it's TRUE Judaic root meaning is? In other words, what does Messiah MEAN?"

From Aramaic, meshiha, and Hebrew, mahsiah, meaning anointed, the expected king and deliverer of the Hebrews; the Christ; the divinely sent Savior of the world.

Christ: From Latin, Christus, Greek, Christos, meaning anointed, the Messiah, or Lord's Anointed, whose coming was prophesied and expected by the Jews.

Above two definitions from Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Ed, unabridged.
