Darwin's Beagle ship replica plan [for his 200th birthday]

Presumably the ship will be intelligently designed . . .

We'll call it Charlie's Ark.

[Dimensio]

This ship is based upon reality, not delusions of lunatics.

Nope -- look elsehwere for Hitler's philosophical roots:

[Just mythoughts]

Ah isn't this special maybe Congress will make it a National Holiday....

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Ah isn't this special maybe Congress will make it a National Holiday...."

Hint: This isn't happening in the USA.

[Just mythoughts]

Hitler did not believe in the Heavenly Creator else he would not have taken it upon himself to play god. Just like the evolutionists set themselves supremely over what the Creator created.

Evolution is NOT a capitalistic system else evolution could stand on its own and would not need GOVERNMENT to make it the law of the land and demand we the people fund it. It is socialistic at its very base.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Hitler said he was doing the Creator's will . . .

Hitler, like Charles Darwin in his later years, was disinclined to accept the authority and accuracy of the biblical texts and instead, like Charles Darwin, exalted his own reason above the plain and simple words of scripture. Hitler did make reference to Darwin's ideas in his eugenics propaganda. That's where the interpretation of facts leads when there is no accepted authority from Above.

I don't care what Hitler "said" he was doing. It was not in accord with the biblical texts. Dogmatic evolutionists "say" they are doing science, when in fact their extrapolations are little more than a philosophy of history with no guide other than intuition.

[Just mythoughts]

Give it time, the evolutionary gods will take note of this hallowed day. Maybe they can pronounce it a National Holiday in their their demand for tax payers to fund their stem cell research. You know got to save that 'flesh'.

[Calvin Locke]

I hope it fares better than the Beagle II.

Otherwise, the Welk pork barrel project will not seem like a waste of money at all.

[Seamoth]

The Communist Manifesto was published in 1848.
The Origin of Species was published in 1859.

[saganite]

And referencing biblical texts is no more than an excercise in superstition. I'll take scientific enquiry any day.

[Seamoth]

Abortion wasn't made fully illegal in most countries till the 19th century, and was widely available to that point.
Anti-semitism has a history even in the Bible, and genocide is as old as humankind is.
Slavery, of course, was legal long before 1859, and the Civil War started only 2 years after 1861.

[Andonius_99]

Got Mittuns? Why yes, and two pairs of gloves, too!

[BritExPatInFla]

What about the 200,000,000 people who've been killed by doctrines based on Darwins ideas? They gonna build any sort of a monument for them?

Why not, there are plenty of monuments to God, and how many have died/been murdered/martyred because of religion? Heck, the US government even helps fund these monuments (churches) in the form of corporate welfare(tax exemption).

Replication with modification.

Festival of pig-ignorant creationists placemarker.

Ya know ... I thought this would be a pleasant little thread about a replica of the Beagle. Suddenly it's turned into a convention of the brain dead.

Welcome!

[JCEccles]

A fluff story about the atheists' ark.

How enlightening.

[Dixie Yooper]

I'll play the odds of eternal life in Heaven over ending up as meaningless dust or eternal life in Hell. All I have to do is live my life as a Christian for just one lifetime here on Earth, which by the way is a very good life.
