[[Islam did not exist before Mad Mo crawled into a hole to be enthralled by the hissings of The Serpent]]
Technically you are right-0 it wasn’t officially clalled islam however, the peopel who praciticed a particular religion of middle easeternern persuasion are the same peopel who were forced into islam by Mo- Mo hijcaked their religion.
[[Given the culture that they found, one can hardly blame them!]]
What culture woudl that be?
[[Yes, he refused to cave to The Church’s peer pressure, and believe the imaginary scenarios in that book they worship]]
It wasn’t the bible they were preaching but a godless account of earth evetns- which incidently is secular and had nothign to do with hte bible
[[All that practice, and this is all the better you can do?]
It’s a sure sight better than “If this condition were just right, and this event took place at just the right itme of year, and if the systems were isolated from the destructive forces of nature, and if somethign prevented cells from burnign htemselves out, then by golly a living single celeld organism might have happened along”
[[I’ve seen nothing that indicates that the Bible says the earth is it, you have stumbled on my whole point: science improves the understanding of God’s creation]]
Sure it does, when it sticks to pure science and doesn’t go wandering off in never never land claiming all kinds of unproven and scientifically impossible scenarios-
[[So please don’t say “I’m almost positive that in the time of Gallilaeo [sic] , there certaintly [sic] wasn’t sufficient evidences one way or hte [sic] other,”. It sounds as ignorant is if you had said: “I’m almost positive that in the time of Columbus, there certainly wasn’t sufficient evidences one way or the other, to say there was a ‘new world’ on the other side of the Atlantic.”]]
Galilaeo gave his opinion- nothign more- I stand by what I said.
[[Maybe He routinely talks to you, but He’s been notably silent on the world stage lately for the rest of us.]]
Maybe He is routinely silent with you, but for 2.6 billion+ people He isn’t
[[To be a separate species, something has to be genetically discontinuous with other species, otherwise they’d be the same species, wouldn’t they?]]
No- they would have to be unique kinds-
[[Also, the second half: “and can’t ‘morph’ beyond hteir [sic] own kinds.” doesn’t necessarily follow from the first half.]]
Sure it does.
[[Source please?. Last I heard there were seven distinct Eves based on mitochondrial DNA evidence]]
I’ll look more into that tomorrow- I beleive it was traced back to possible sources- some in Africa, perhaps in asia- the africa one i beleive has fallen out of favour due to some anomilies if I remember right.
The Aztec and Mayan cultures. The ones that would routinely tear the still beating hearts out of a couple thousand people in an otherwise boring afternoon. Do you know nothing of history?

Wow. You assert that the Church was secular? You assert that their strict belief in the creation accounts in Genesis weren't Bible based? I'm beginning to suspect that reality based meaningful discussion is impossible with you.

OK. Put up or shut up. Either support this current statement with the chapter and verse where the Bible says that the earth is the center of the universe, or revert to your statement in post # 284: "I donm’t take a stand on this one way or hte other as there are controversies about hte situation that are ongoing- sdecondly, I’m not aweare that bible states that we are the center, " Pick one. You do not get to pee on my head and tell me it's raining.
Galilaeo gave his opinion- nothign more-
The objective fact that anyone can see that Jupiter has its own moons isn't an opinion. The objective fact that anyone can see that the earth's moon is not a perfect celestial sphere is not an opinion. You have confirmed in my mind that rational conversation between us is impossible. You sincerely believe that facts that disagree with you are opinions, and that opinions you agree with are facts.
I stand by what I said.
Which time? The time you said the Earth is the center of the Universe? Or the time you said it isn't?
I’ll look more into that tomorrow- I beleive it was traced back to possible sources- some in Africa, perhaps in asia- the africa one i beleive has fallen out of favour due to some anomilies if I remember right.
I'm still interested in that data. I seriously doubt that we will ever converge on what it says, though.
