> I am an elctrical engineer and used to beleive that evoultion was the process God used to create (make) man. I don't beleive that anymore, life is simply too complex to be explained by chance.
Gridley: you are on the right track. If God is God, He can do anything, including making something out of nothing. Jesus believed the Old Testament literally.
> "Oldest Known Penis Is 100 Million Years Old"
pulled
But you can guarantee that the "really high-minded people" will do all they can to make sure that the suffering is not by them.
And as Christianity wrested itself away from those who would use it for evil purposes, those people founded the new religions of secular humanism, enviromentalism, homosexual worship, liberalism, and communism.
Surprised no one called you on this... please show me exactly where in the US Constitution the phrase "separation of church and state" appears.
I dont think a 100 million year old penis would like being pulled. LOL
"Nonpersons or potential persons cannot be wronged
because death does not deprive them of something they value." (John Harris, Sir David Alliance professor of bioethics, University of Manchester, England)
So, Professor Johnny, if an infants parents died and left him a billion dollars, it would be okay to steal that billion dollars because the infant is not able to value it?
A preborn human may not be able yet to value his life, but it is something of value that he has, and your pathetic attempt to justify taking it from him is as puerile as it is malevolent.
There are 1 million cases of HIV, 31-50 million of herpes simplex, 24 million of HPV, and 1 million cases of chronic hepatitis B.
Yo, what about chronic hepatitis C? There may be 4 million cases just among American military vets.
And unless we can arrest it, as Churchill declared, it will "shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered possible."
Winnie never ceases to amaze.
Hitler built schools and hospitals for the Jews?
Dogma: a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof
Fact: When an observation is confirmed repeatedly and by many independent and competent observers, it can become a fact
By that standard, the dogma of the Catholic Church are facts.
Yes it does. Read the article again!
The dogma of the Catholic Church are facts - False
That Catholicism is a dogma is an observed fact - True
Nope. The said observers are all Catholic and not "independent."
So all secular humanism, environmentalism, homosexual worship, liberalism, and communism have to do is 'wrest themselves away from those who would use them for evil purposes' and you would accept them as benign?
Amen.
can undo God's work
just reveal how little faith
those folks have in God.
Which one is God's work - malaria or DDT?
You forget what the qualities are that define those 'isms'.
For the purposes of my point, which is as a tool for 'bad people', your appointed quality of 'religion' suffices.
Most people believe that the Sun is spherical although the Sun has only rarely, if ever, been observed from more than one perspective. I think a great deal of intuition and belief go into what is commonly accepted as "fact". Ultimately, I think that objective truth (facts) are independent of independent and compentent (of what?) observation. We are all, every one, much more believers than we are observers. And yet, the truth is out there in all it's fullness and glory.
