What's his name implied you were the one saying I was associated with the Devil. I didn't go back and check to see it was RW that said it.

Existence is created at once, including its past, present and future.

TIME is Nature's way of making sure they everything does NOT happen at once.

In other words, if we all become athiests, we will be "accepted" by the Left and they won't call us ignorant rubes anymore.

There ya go!

Look into the past then, and tell me of an actual set of events that drove change.

The migration of man from the lower latitudes to the higher latitudes where there was less sunlight.

Wow, are you saying WildTurkey is the Devil?

If you DRINK enough of it, I'm sure you'll THINK so!

You should not be surprised that science . . . is not terribly inclined to attribute unsolved mysteries to miracles.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. But I question why evolutionism makes positive statements about unobserved, unrecorded history and thereby thinks it has a right to piggyback on the name of science.

The Lord is merciful? Tell that to the victims of the BTK.

"Bad things happen"

Therefore there is no merciful God.

What kinda 'logic' is THIS?

A merciful God would not lay suffering on the innocent.

The title shows a lack of fundamental understanding that is simply ludicrous.

God had programmed BTK's existence, just as he has programmed yours.

God told me to say this to you:"Wake up and look around."

You have to care a bit if you have kids in a public school.

I don't fortunately.

That's an excellent point to ponder.

It's a sin to lie.

While you ponder, science rolls on. To bad you missed the train.

From your point of view, perhaps, but not from the point of view of a being that knows the future.
