Silly Buttars! It wasn't his great-grandfather, it was his great-grandfather's great-grandfather's great-grandfather that was the ape.

You guys need to get your stories straight.

"And humans were created in the image of God."



And your empirical proof of that is....?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:1-3 KJV)

"If you could be so kind as to point me to a post with worse grammar than Vaquero's, I will be more than happy to suggest the use of a spell checker and grammar checker to that poster as well."


you are evading the issue.

My great grandfather was a Confederate soldier and I say that with pride!

Aren't you supposed to start a sentence with a capital letter?

I think it's even false to call evolution a theory. It's merely a paradigm. Evolution can't actually "happen" as such. "Natural selection" is an umbrella term that conveniently says that any long-term trend was the best possible outcome because it is the one that has occurred.

Isnt it interesting that evolution is discussed quite a bit in the PHILOSOPHY section of the forum.

Kind of ironic...

Taxonomically, we are still apes, yes.

You can catch me on that. Sometimes I use "ape" in the creationist sense of anything with too much hair and too small a vocabulary. Some baseball catchers like Andy Etchebarren or Thurman Munson might have qualified--I'm not sure. There's "ape" as in "anything that makes a creationist say his great-grandfather wasn't one," and there's the the group of tailless primates that split from monkeys thirty-something million years ago. We aren't in the one group and we are in the other.

You need to start answering our questions, instead of obfuscating.

If you refuse to acknowledge that you were created in the image of God, then evolution is the theory for you.

*************

Indeed. But for me:

Then God said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground."

27

God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them.

28

God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth."

29

God also said: "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food;

30

and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for food." And so it happened. 31

God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed--the sixth day.

*Bzzztt*** Sorry, wrong answer. Words in a book does not constitute empirical evidence.

It's amazing what government officials will do to hide their own backgrounds.

Continued thread hi-jacking attempt noted.

You don't like my style? Tough. I've been published and paid for it. Your views don't count.

Where is your response to Vaquero's point?
