Read your post number 51, and then think about it.

On this topic about Evolution, I want magic to be taught in our public schools.

I was not sure if that is exactly what you had intended, when you decided to attack Evolution.

I agree with you. Perhaps every single creature on Earth today was created by magick.

Since the fossil record has demonstrated that new creatures are being created, then there is a living God.

It should be rather simple, and perhaps just a matter of time, when we can video a new creature being created.

Talk about COOL!

Read my last post and think about it.

No.

What attack on evolution? This post is my first use of the word "evolution" on this thread. And this brings up post 51 again. Please read my post number 51, and then think about it :^)

Now, as you your number 51, can you please explain to me how I am not a Christian?

Seriously, I would like to know!

You do understand the event that caused some schools to throw evolution, as presented, in the trash bin, where Darwin himself said it belonged if no supporting evidence was forth coming.

I don't believe this. If schools threw evolution in the trash bin, its because of political pressure, not through any scientific flaws. Evolution is one of most sound concepts in science - its not on any shaky ground at all.

Could you elaborate on this 'event' ?

Seriously, I get this from many Freepers. By who's definition do you dare attack me for not being a Christian?

Believing that Jesus was the Son of God, by definition, does classify me as a Christian!

Or, do you have some super-secret code that I and a few million other Christians need to know about?

By definition, the materialistic suppositions about Earth's history cannot be scientific.

Huh? What are you trying to say here?

From what I understand given the study of DNA scientists had to admit that life did not come from a single cell organism that branched out into all species.

Instead there were several spontaneous eruptions of several different species, spaced apart, pretty much as recorded on the fifth and sixth day of creation.

Since that news came out, there has been a strong move against evolution in the public schools. At least that is what is going around.

I did not attack you. I made a statement. Read post 48.

God(religion) will not be "destroyed" no matter what argument you start with.

Christians trying to protect Christianity have done more harm than any non-Christian. The point is that when zealots and scientifically ignorant Christians embarrass Christianity far more than anyone on the outside ever has.

Who cares? Well, Christians should because it hurts their witness. When Christians attack scientific principles in which they are completely ignorant, they as individuals and Christianity as a whole loses credibility.

Look at how the greatest minds in the church reacted when Copernicus published his theory that the earth was not the center of the universe. The Christian leadership didn't use sound scientific evidence to challenge his theory - they used bible verses and traditional church teachings.

Do you ever feel that you are surrounded by demons? But, Devil spawn are well versed in scripture, even better than most Christians. I know, through faith in the whole inspired WORD of God that the most powerful help is to pray often for the mislead.

From 48: You can call yourself whatever you wish, however, you are not a Christian if you are a pagan.

Once again, how dare you say that I can not be a Christian, when I know that Jesus was the Son of God!

Read the Bible and note that multiple Gods and Goddesses are mentioned in the Old Testament. Pay attention to the actual words of the Bible.

Why are multiple Gods and Goddesses mentioned in the Bible? Is the Bible nothing but fiction?

Once again, how dare you attack me for not being a Christian. I was only being honest in my knowledge that there are multiple gods.

Well, I wouldn't quite put it that way. However, this is not Heaven.

Your evidence?

Read my example in the third paragraph (Copernicus).

I dare make a conditional statement since logic allows me the leeway. If you are a pagan, by definition you cannot be a Christian. You labelled yourself a Christian and a pagan. That is contradictory to the definition of pagan. You cannot be both. Which are you? Or do you wish to use the private Hunble® dictionary?

Rereading your proclamation is not evidence.

Reminds me of the old witch test: If she floats on the water, then she is guilty. If she drowns in the river, then she was innocent.

I am just an honest person who has explore religion, in all of it's aspects, over the last 30 years. I have found what works best for me, in getting me closer to God.

My major question to you would be this:

Why would you not want me to get a more personal understanding of God, in ways that I can understand?

Do you get some financial or political gain, if you are able to force me to follow your specialized religious teachings?
