"There are two world views -- God is or God isn't -- creation or evolution,"

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.

Robert C. Byrd High School

Is that who I think it is? If so, what kind of guy has a school named after him while he's STILL ALIVE?!?!

Ham will be speaking at the Answers in Genesis conference May 21-22 at Robert C. Byrd High School.

I wonder who paid for that school?

I submit that the chemical artillery shells found in Iraq naturally evolved from ordinary artillery shells.

It took God 6 days to create everthing. How long was each day?

Been working on a new description of ID.

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.

The first Book of Semiconductors, chapter 6, verse 12, states:

"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.

Are Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan going to be on the ticket again? I'll get my palm fan and jug of lemonade ready. Nothing's better than a good monkey show.

It is amazing how Americans extend our minds to the planets while our feet never leave parochial muck, isn't it?

Perhaps we can all save time and, instead of endlessly debating these topics, just place a bid on this and then ask it for answers if we win: Ark of the Convenant for sale on eBay.
