"Those who promote the destruction of Christianity cannot but be the anti-Christians. A Christian does NOT promote its demise."

A Christian also doesn't recommend burning at the stake and hanging for having a different view.

Do you understand the concept of Deconstruction or Post-Modernism?

Oh tell me faltzani, when exactly did Derrida force scientists to consider evolution a scientific theory? You're just talking out of your ass and I think you know it.

>>"Well, you don't have to wait for long. It is the last sentence you wrote in your post 201."

>Let's not try to confuse the lunatic fringe with facts.

Had you read post #201 carefully you would have found out that it's not my quote, but a quote from the link at #255 which was given earlier by another post.

Read the posts instead of marching in lockstep like an automaton.

An apology would also be appropriate here.

Now that it's deleted, I guess I can't include it in the list. For what it's worth, this is what would have been included in The List-O-Links, in the section THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON CREATIONISM:

NEW post 70 by Baraonda on 17 Dec 2005. The anti-Christs can hide, but can't run away from the stake.

One more question: When you go to your Mensa meetings do you folks discuss the merits of Jack Chick?

Uh, yeah. They're (heretofore traditionally leftist) intellectual "leveling" tactics that aim to eliminate or confuse distinctions between rigorously accumulated objective knowledge and pure prejudice, by basically claiming that all knowledge is prejudicial, or deterministically associated with cultural/ethnic/religious/economic or other identity groups.

We're familiar because we see antievolutionists using the same tactics here on every thread. Most recently you.

You were given a list of evolution supporters. The question put to you is "are these people who want the destruction of Christianity"?

Over 80% of Americans support the Theory of Evolution." I am a very devout Christian. Does using the brain God gave us make us people who "promote the destruction of Christianity"?

I might include it anyway, with a note that it's been deleted.

I was just walking with my children observing God's glorious creation and this scripture came to mind. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Romans 1:18-23 I know unbelievers consider it foolish to take God at his Word but my heart soars when I consider His creation and the beautiful children that he formed in my womb.

I think I omitted a line at the beginning, but 90% of it is quote in my post 115.

So, because we believe the evidence of the physical creation, we are going to Hell?

Out of curiosity, and I mean no offense, but if God (rather than a man) created the children in your womb, what's so special about Mary?

Kent Hovind is one of the sharper knives in the drawer. However good he is at this, he cannot explain everything with his ID hypothesis, and there are some holes in his development. But give him due credit. He is doing his best and his best is very good.

We are. Pope Bennedict and I, while being burned for all eternity, will laugh ruefully as we lament having accepted science.

I am happy for you (no satire).

I have no problem at all with what you have described.

Your post is in great contrast to the post above I was reacting to (#70, now removed) which seemed to promise scientists who study evolution the stake or the rope.

It takes brains to be a successful flim-flam man. Look at Clinton.
