A2,

You are your own worst enemy, not me.

You say I got "Pissy"? Why because I pointed out that you answered the question wrong and then went "Haywire" in in giving your incorrect answer? Don't be so childish. You have been loaded for bear from the git go. You are trying to point out your detailed answer to a question that has yet to be asked?

You are obsessed my dear friend and you don't even see it. That is the point! Do you get!

If not let me explain it another way. No religion promotes those ideas anymore, just like no scientists believe in alchemy. Why because we found they were wrong and as it turns out in the case of the Bible that there is no contradiction there so now it is not held as truth or fact. So just how much do you know about religion? From what you have demonstrated, I would venture to say not very much. However as I pointed out earlier you seem to be becoming the very thing about religion you say you despise.

You claim to be enlightened, yet enlightment comes from an open mind and a humble spirit. Strive for those my young padawan apprentice. Come back when you can have a civil conversation. Meanwhile ponder this, just what is the fundemental building block of the universe? Just so you don't think this is another trick question I don't think anyone knows for sure.

Sweet dreams and goodnight

OK,

Let's try this again, I am obviously not making myself clear.

Chrstianity is based on the bible, the bible is a book, the book is around 1700 years old, some of the stories within that book are much older.

In the dark ages, which I blame squarely on the shoulders of the church were a time of extreme nothing. The church had power and therefore what it said went.

The church believed that the earth was the center of the universe, anyone that disagreed with them was excommunicated. If the church said that something was the way it was, then that is the way it was, end of story. Threat of eternal damnation will pretty much kill anything that would disagree.

The church wanted MORE power, so they destroyed anything and anyone that disagreed or was a threat, the crusades etc.

I do NOT say that christianisty is like that now, except for one respect.

You have fanatics that believe in the book of Genesis literally. Therefore the Theory of evolution is a threat to them. This is the SAME intellectual vacancy that existed in the dark ages. This is where it makes me a bit angry.

Other things about it make me angry as well, such as the obsession with, since I am a christian, I am right, and since you are not, you are wrong and are going to hell, but I digress.

The arguments that creationists, those that take Genesis literally, are vague, outright lies, or they twist evolutions studies into something that they are not. This also angers me.

Nothing like the Mr. Blueman with his refuted facts spouting them off over and over again. Again, he seems to think that the more he says them the more likely that they will become true.

This is the problem, those that disagree with evolution must distort it, lie about it, and make false claims against it. Create FALSE studies, that are refuted by scientists, and they are so loud and so obnoxious, that those that are less learned then most, shut their minds to the REAL facts of evolution and are suckered into doing MORONIC things like put disclaimers on science books.

Yes, the bible is unchanging, that is it's MAIN problem, it does NOT answer all the mysteries, and it cannot, because that knowledge was not available when the books were written, nor could they be answered, when the books were finally put together into the "bible".

The questions WILL be answered, and if those christians that believe the it literally get a chance, they will do their best to make sure that those questions are NOT answered.

Faith is a wonderful thing, please, keep your faith, but do not hold back civilization and science because it might disagree or possibly disprove some of the stories in your great book.

My basic premise? The church did this in the dark ages, let's learn from it and NOT do it again.
