Once again, you fall to the fallacy of assuming that your religious beliefs are the only possible religious beliefs.

No, I have fallen to no fallacy. I've watched broken limbs be healed. I've seen people I'd known for years to be blind see for the first time. I know what I follow. And I don't care what anyone thinks about it. Again, other beliefs are beliefs. Hundreds if not thousands of people had theories about flight, in the end, it was a pair of brothers that got it right to the exclusion of all else. The belief of the crowd is more important - right. The Wright brothers must be quacks because they could do it because they were the few when everyone else believed something better and different, nevermind nobody else could fly, many even died or just got all wet in the trying, but, those tedious little quacks that actually know something are so danged bothersome..

You want to question the scriptures, that's a whole lot different than arguing God and Darwinism. Now you're arguing, instead, Concepts of God vs. Darwin. Different subject. Watch out folks, argument sunk, time to move the goalposts. Yep, this is an evolution thread afterall..

Havoc, you are exactly right. I made this point earlier. If people want to disagree with me about liberals attempting to take God out of the public square, that is fine, challenge me on that issue.

But, I was quite suprised to see FR members arguing like a bunch of liberals. When they don't like what you are saying, and they realize they are losing the debate they like to change the subject or move the goalposts!

I was accused of being a Dan Rather and citing sources that were "Fake"--I proved that wrong when I showed them my sopurces. Then someone bet me a million dollars that no high-school in the US used a text book that quoted what what I said in my article. So I showed them where it was taught. Guess what, soon as you destroy that argument they are already building the next straw man.

It then becomes an attack on your beliefs. I am telling you--this has been one heck of a learning experience. I never imagined that a group of conservatives and libertarians would debate like a bunch of crybaby liberals.

I bet it is mostly the libertarians--the wing of that party that agrees with legalizing drugs--that is putting up the liberal fight. But, that is just a guess.

You see, the problem with this is that it doesn't advance your argument. It's not only anecdotal evidence, it's anecdotal evidence that doesn't actually support your earlier claims even if this really did happen.

Again, other beliefs are beliefs.

Just like your beliefs are beliefs.

Hundreds if not thousands of people had theories about flight, in the end, it was a pair of brothers that got it right to the exclusion of all else.

Which is why there are no man-made devices that fly that don't use the principles that they used.

Well, except helicopters.

And harriers can hover. Ever seen that? It's really neat.

Of course, this is a red herring that you toss in, so airplanes, helicopters and hovering crafts don't really matter here.

Hey, you're the one who asserted that evolution calls "God" a liar. I merely pointed out that not everyone believes in the same "God" that you do, so you toss up bizarre (and logically flawed) analogies regarding the Wright brothers. You're the one who decided to make this "The God of the Bible", then "The God of the Bible, as I interpret it, because I'm right and anyone who disagrees is wrong, because God has given me absolute, perfect knowledge".
