"I aint got the time! I have homework, too! (night classes, going for an EE. )"

Yikes, another engineer that won't understand scientific method. This is getting scary. What Bible College offers and engineering degree?

You know that electricity is just a theory?

Hmm, think I touched a nerve?

"What could possibly reduce an essentially good person to behaving the way they do?"

Fear. They are afraid of going to H E double hockey sticks, of losing their friends in church, of going against the authority of their pastor, of having their wife leave them if they don't believe in the literal Word etc.

A lot of it is cognitive dissonance caused by fear. Fear is a key factor in a lot of mental illness. The sad thing is that for Christians, Jesus alleviates fear through love and gives us peace in all circumstances. This is why Christian belief often heals mental illness.

You touched a nerve with a cattle prod. LOL

Funny how this thread went from talking about an Anthropologist (scientist) who made up data (not surprising), plagiarized works (not surprising), and fooled the public for many years, to an attack on creationists. This dude still has science textbooks in circulation! Of course, none of the 'scientists' here give a crap about that.

Do the evo's have ANY idea how silly they look on this thread. It's hilarious!

Golly, I wish I had't made that comment about "cut-and-paste". Really.

Huh? Where did you get *your* degree, Shubi? You have a Ph.D, right?

[shubi]

I have a Dr. in ministry-six years of seminary.

Anthropologists are closer to the semi-science of sociology than they are to the real science of biology. So, we have that going for us. ;-)

[shubi]

Everyone is good at something. Race is really good at cutting and pasting.

Interesting.

[Ichneumon]

Actually, if he were actually good at it, he'd cut-and-paste material that was both valid and relevant.

Yeah, he can manage the following:

invalid and irrelevant

valid and irrelevant

invalid and relevant

Its just the remaining possibility (as you've pointed out) that proves out of his reach. ;)

This is a spiritual battle. You need to believe what the Bible says. All the science in the world will not convert someone who is dead in their sins, you need to be converted. I will no longer show you the science that proves you wrong. I have shown you enough of the sciece that proves you wrong that if oyu were intellectually honest, you would be admitting some things right now, thinking of others that challenged your present train of thought. You need to be saved.

At pain of the rack, and the purification of the stake, no doubt.

[Long Cut]

And he was complaining about YOU spamming. LOL!

[Michael_Michaelangelo]

What do you expect? Scientists are now saying it's "in the genes."

Is Religion All in the Genes?

...modern science is turning up a possible reason why the religious right is flourishing and secular liberals aren't: instinct. It turns out that our DNA may predispose humans toward religious faith.

You can't *stop* evolution, Itchi, you can only hope to contain it. :)

[Thatcherite]

I will no longer show you the science that proves you wrong.

To do something "no longer" implies that you were doing it in the first place. I must have missed that bit.

I was hoping that you'd start showing us some valid science at some stage, rather than just cut-and-pasting or paraphrasing a pile of junky discredited arguments from YEC websites and publications.

BTW the "I never read Kent Hovind" when you'd posted a big section of text that matched word-for-word with his website was superb. If Race didn't exist those of us on the side of mainstream science would have to make him up.

"Do the evo's have ANY idea how silly they look on this thread. It's hilarious!"

Not nearly as funny as the creationists who continually post lies and misinformation which has been repeatedly debunked, all the while complaining of "spamming", as well as those who offer them loud hosannahs for it.

Not to mention the total refusal to retract or correct the misstatements.

[Michael_Michaelangelo]

How do you know anything has been debunked? Have you taken the time to study the rebuttals in depth, or are you just an evo groupie?

[Michael_Michaelangelo]

And what is it with all the ex-Navy guys being atheists and evolutionists? Seems every evo profile I look at reveals the person to be ex-Navy. Oh - and that person usually owns a cat.
