Sigh -- the Fallacy of the False Dichotomy rides again...
The majority of evolutionists are Christian, so obviously something is wrong with with his "either-or" notion, and with his trying to equate evolution with atheism.
Is that who I think it is? If so, what kind of guy has a school named after him while he's STILL ALIVE?!?!
My first guess is it wasn't Robert C. Byrd.
I submit that the chemical artillery shells found in Iraq naturally evolved from ordinary artillery shells.
you are correct.
It took God 6 days to create everthing. How long was each day?
If you let go of a ball it will fall to the floor. Did God cause the ball to drop to the floor? Or did God create gravity, and gravity pulled the ball to the floor?
You can say that this is an example of "intelligent action". I.E. the ball went to the floor rather than across the room because the intelligence sent it in one particular direction (down) rather than across the room.
I'd call this an "intelligent process".
So if a creature with slightly superior capabilities than another survives because of those capabilities, is that Darwin's "Natural Selection"? Or is it "intelligent design"?
Just as the ball dropped because of gravity as created by God, "Natural Selection" occurs by the life processes as created by God.
Bottom line: there is no conflict between Genesis and Evolution. Just as God created Gravity, he created Evolution. The chapters of Genesis that describe creation are only a few hundred words. Not nearly enough to describe any details, leaving plenty of room for Evolution.
When Christians fight Evolution, they marginalize themselves, and aid the anti-Christian bigots by giving them something to criticize.
Sigh the fallacy of the fallacy of the false dictomony rides again and again....
God either is or he isn't....
If he is then evolution is lie....
The bible tells me so....

Classic. He is dead, but typical of Dimocrats that have the dead on the voting rolls, in this case they just propped up a dead politician and elected him.
Byrd has a bunch of stuff named after him in WV.
Robert C. Byrd High School
Robert C. Byrd Highway
Robert C. Byrd Hardwood Technology Center
Robert C. Byrd National Technology Transfer Center
Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center (WVU)
etc...
There's also a giant bronze statue of him in the rotunda of our State Capital.
Makes me proud to be a West Virginian.

"And let computers multiply throughout the land. Be they used for running car engines or for the running of video games. Let them become numerous and be sold cheaply."
The rest deals with the availability of pornography so I won't address it here.
Can you point me to an ID source that does not mention a deity?
Well said, and thanks for saying it.
