All across the country, archeologists, paleontologists and biologists are taking part in what is perhaps the greatest example of political correctness in history – their adherence to Darwinism and their attempts to ostracize any scientist who does not agree with them. In doing so, they are not only ignoring the vast buildup of recent scientific discoveries that seriously undermines the basics of Darwinism, but they are also participating, due to politically correctness, in a belief system that indirectly resulted in the deaths of millions of people – those slaughtered by the Stalins, the Hitlers, the Maos, the Pol Pots and others who took their cue from Darwinism’s tenets.

If Americans evolved largely from Europeans, why are there still Europeans?
I think the modern auto immune diseases might be more result of living very far from the Garden of Eden. Multiple sclerosis is a relatively new disease and showed up right about the time we started putting cottonseed oil in our food (akin to drinking a cup of agent orange), chemicals that have no business in the food supply, and we are processing the life out of food. Lifestyle stuff. The Bible says that aging began with sin and deterioration increased with more sin. Cancer is the mystery of the body attacking itself. Is there a reference in the Bible to the herb being for medicine? Maybe these scientists need to look in the garden for more cures.
Why does adaptation always take place in the right direction and never in the wrong direction?
That isn't the way it happens.
That's not a very clear explanation. Give me examples of animals that adapted the wrong way.
How did you determine the location of the Garden of Eden?
I have no idea what you're talking about. Were you hoping to put words in my mouth?
Basic natural history:
Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.
Evidence of first primitive life around 3.9 billion years old.
First multicelled life about 500 million years ago.
Dinosaur extinction, 65 million years ago.
I'm only saying, that's a lot of years, and a lot of generations, especially considering that each generation can have small variations from the one before.
Maybe they only have a small sampling of “supportive fossils” because the in between fossils do not exist.
because they didn’t...evolution was dreamed up by a very messed up man living in the darkness of his mind. The fossil evidence for morphed life forms which would be spread vastly throughout the fossil record simply has never been found and never will at this point. It is a theory which tries to compete with God’s creation and has fallen down but the adherants, who also live in the darkness of their heads, are given more excuses, or evolving theories of evolution, to try and prop it up. What is trully sad state of affairs that many overly educated people are in. Education, over done and with conscience denying motives given by the darkside to man, is a very dangerous and soul injurying thing. No wonder so many kids drop out of high school with all of this falsness and doubt being crammed down their throats.
Like your tagline.
I can offer no proof or evidence that God does not exist.
“Sadly, the practice of weeding out the unfit goes back to ancient times. One thinks of the Greeks exposing their children, or of Spartan military training, where only the fittest survived boyhood. And sadly, the practice of exterminating whole families, tribes, nations & races goes back to the beginnings of history, if not before. Technologies & ideologies change, but the results were the same. Mankind didn’t need Darwin to practice evil.” ~ BroJoeK
“...it can surely be no coincidence that the most humane place in all of the Middle East is surrounded by barbarians who wish to extinguish it in the exact degree to which they systematically abuse their own children.
As a matter of fact, a couple of days ago a reader sent me this link to a piece in the Claremont Review on child sacrifice. In it, the author recalls Golda Meir’s famous remark about how “peace with the Palestinians will be possible when they love their own children more than they hate the Israelis. In saying so, she touched upon a fundamental difference between pagan and biblical religion: the presence or absence of child sacrifice.... Many ancient peoples believed in sacrificing a child to an angry god like Moloch or Baal in order to avert misfortune. Today, thousands of Muslims believe that sacrificing their children as ‘suicide’ bombers in a crowd of people pleases their God Allah. More, Islamic terrorists invite the death of children by placing their military and political headquarters in residential areas which they know their enemies will strike.”
Folks, is this not an obvious, if horrid and therefore denied truth about mankind in general and the Islamic world in particular? The author concludes his piece on a pessimistic note, speculating that “if the current intellectuals’ project of undermining the Biblical traditions of the Western world continues unabated..., rather than embracing some new, ‘enlightened’ philosophy which previous generations were supposedly too dull to conceive or practice, likely we will wind up with ancient paganism instead. ....” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2157592/posts?page=7#7

Exuse me. I understand that science is trying to explain the mechanics behind Creation. But that evolution is crammed down kids throat as presented as the “only” alternative is biased crap. I am a six day believer.
And the layers and layers of rock - do you see no aesthetic value in them?
The fact that you call "the theory of evolution" science is a good illustration of why this is so. Evolution -- regardless of whether or not it is factually correct -- suffers from the same inherent flaw as "global warming." Neither theory can really be tested in a manner that is conducive to the scientific method -- i.e., in a controlled environment, with results that can be disseminated to others and replicated by others.
With the exception of some limited cases involving simple micro-organisms that reproduce very quickly and can be observed/documented in a laboratory environment, most of what comprises "the theory of evolution" these days will always be just a theory because it simply can't be adequately tested.
You have a large number of errors in these three short paragraphs.

How much longer do you think we will have Euopeans since the muzzies are so aggressive? Islam - the new ape.
Godwin’s law.
Then my original assesment was correct.
“Virtually all of science is theory, based on evidence. That includes the theory of evolution.” ~ BroJoeK
Or to be more precise; theorIES of evolution.

Not talking about a geographical Garden of Eden, which by the way is probably in southwest Asia. I am referring to a relationship with the garden.
Six days 4.5 billion years ago, or 6-10,000 years ago?
Thank you for your support. My brain cells were starting to hurt. Life is complicated and dangerous enough without trying to live without God or to convolute a six day masterpiece.
I actually give the Bible more credit than you might suppose.
Imho, the real problem with the Bible is NOT so much that people want to take it "literally," but rather that people want to IMPOSE their own understandings on the Bible's words. In other words: those who claim to be "literal" are not really as "literal" as they think.
Indeed, I would argue that it's almost impossible for us today to fully understand the Bible in the terms it was originally written. That's because, over thousands of years, too much has been added to, or changed in, meanings of various words.
But the Bible's statements about God creating the heavens, the earth and all its creatures, are not only assertions of religious faith, but also philosophical assumptions -- the First Cause and First Principle. These have nothing to do with scientific "proof," but everything to do with our approach to life, our behavior, politics, etc.
For one thing, these assumptions were critical to our Founding Fathers' beliefs, and so not to be lightly pushed aside.
How embarrasing.
