According to certain interpretations of the Bible nothing died prior to Adam's sin. That means every fruit or veggie that Adam and Eve picked and ate STAYED ALIVE even after being digested.

I am not making this up.

Evolution is simply not science.

There is not a shred of evidence that supports the queer notion of life out of nothing, and the fossil/geologic evidence clearly concurrs with the biblical description of the flood. More importantly, God's inerrant word clearly states that evolution did not happen, and the two are mutually exclusive.

Not really. The Catholic sect of Christianity is the largest in America by a fair amount.

Sure, if you view things in the "Protestant manner," (i.e., Baptist v. Calvinist v. Catholic v. Anglican v. Lutheran... etc., etc.) But if you view it in the "Catholic manner," (i.e., Catholic v. Protestants), then original post is correct, and Catholics are in the minority.

In the Jo Nuvark dictionary "affirm" means to bear witness as in agree with what has been attested.

Graham Hancock.

It's a very excellent book, I'm amazed at the amount of research, evidence, etc he has in there. And he's very carful not to claim, "it's proven!"

Underworld

I'm only 1/2 way thru the book. It's all about the melting at the end of the last ice age.

Right now I'm reading about India -- specifically, "Kumari Kandam", an 'atlantis' type lost civilization that was suppose to be south of India. And Hancock got maps of what the sea levels were 12000 to 9000 years ago, and sure enough, Sri Lanka was once connected, and they've already found ruins under the sea.

I'm a big fan of this kind of stuff, and I'm amazed I've never heard of it before.

It is interesting to me that evolutionists refuse to deal with the origin of information - and how new information required for the blueprints of life comes into existence. Even Richard Dawkins has absolutely no answer to these questions!

My stance is that this could be a symbolical story, and what is meant by death is actually spiritual death.

Your little "I am not making this up" quip is not well-received by me. The Protestants may be wrong on this one, but they are still much closer to the truth than you are.

:-D

I see.

Well, I'm having a hard time finding that anywhere else, I'm afraid.

So until I do, it'll remain that the definition of 'affirm' is to assert an affirmative, as all the dictionaries seem to say.

It's important, not only for the sake of obediance to the Lord, but also for the protection of true, objective, honest science that we resist the evolution propagandists who are destroying science, and morality, rapidly.

"Even Richard Dawkins has absolutely no answer to these questions!"

Especially Dawkins has no answers, since he depends on solely his own desires for answers.

Not all Protestants are the same, dude. So don't paint them all the same color.

You have faith in a book written by men --you are welcome to that belief. You don't know squat about what I believe so don't pretend you do so.

Absolutely correct!

There is aboslutely NO evidence to support evolution.

Evolution defies mere human logic.

Life does not evolve from nothing.

But hey, people can believe that pigs fly too and argue over that.

If you choose to hold those that need recommendation letters hostage, so be it. It only shows what you are about - the need to control.

What's down goes up and what's up goes down. That includes students and professors. One day you may meet them and they just may repay the compliment. Life has ways of teaching those that are unteachable. What you sow, you reap.

It's probably the monkey brain doctors that are getting sued and/or loose their license. Although, there are many many good doctors. One being the highly acclaimed and sought after, Don Colbert, M.D.

From the sketchy research I've done on the Rig Veda, internal clues point to it being written in the Bronze Age (NLT 1200 BCE) in India. Other clues make the earliest it could possibly have been written about 1500 BCE.

Take your Bible-bashing elsewhere. You are not welcome.

"Life does not evolve from nothing."

Luckily, scientists have not said it does. :)

The existence of the world doesn't prove God's presence

So you are God, and any disagreement with you is Bible Bashing?
