Wow again. Character assassination, making up fake "sins" to accuse me of; your projections upon me reveal... your own inner world. Careful. The Bible says that "words betray the heart" so watch the projections upon people on FR that you don't even know.

Anyway, there is no shame in discussing philosophy or "theories" such as evolution. By your logic, you should be "ashamed" of promulgating something that you cannot prove but is just a nice little theory.

It's a free country still and definitely it's still Free Republic.

Look up all the posts about the disciples going to their deaths for what they knew, firsthand, to be true, as they were eyewitnesses to Jesus's life, death and resurrection.
I have no idea what sort of dichotomy bondage you are trying to tie me up in. I've stated what I've stated plainly for days now -- it's a famous prooftext and you have only managed to nail me for alleged syntactical errors in relating it.

I'm asking you to use your common sense to reason it out but you are looking at the letter of the law. In Christian circles, you would be excused for acting under a spirit of Legalism.

Lord bless and I'll come back to our discussion, shame-free, when I've more time.

No fake sins here. Your unapolagetic peddling of easily demonstrated dishonesties that purport to support your religious agenda is a matter of record on this thread. What I don't understand is why when you're in a hole you just keep digging.

Nothing in science is ever proven. There is an avalanche of evidence that supports evolution which makes it as well-established a theory as any in science, and scientific knowledge has no status higher than "theory". You've had the difference between the word "theory" as scientists use it and as lay people use it (the scientific word for the lay use of theory is hypothesis or conjecture) explained to you before. So given your religious strictures about honesty it is a mystery to me why you perpetuate the error there yet again.

True, you are free to make an ass of yourself.

All of this carries no weight at all for someone who doesn't see the Bible as a historical text, just a collection of stories written well after the events they purport to describe by people who weren't there.

Your continued shamelessness at the errors and dishonesties that you've perpetrated on these threads is no longer any surprise. I've seen it too many times before.

So when are you going to produce that information about pure gold being transparent that you promised. Or maybe a primary source for scientists telling Columbus that the world was flat? Or is that another of those things that you've just not got time for? Funny, that.
