“..Someone who accepts Jesus as their savior is a Christian. The Pope is not (just) a Christian, he is also the leader of about a billion Christians, and a renowned Biblical scholar...”
“..Not all who cry , Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of the Father
(in Heaven)” “ Even the devils believe and tremble.....”
The “pope” is human, therefore fallible, He is also Wrong, so are you. He is only a “leader” of a sect of people, and does not represent the majority of Christians and their respective faiths.
“..It is a fact that the less educated .... are a creationist.....”
This is an absurd statement,it shows ignorance to the highest degree. I am educated, therefore you put me in this category.(not even in the misguided one at that!!)
“... Creationism is useless because it leads to no further discovery or prediction. It is an ‘answer’ that leads nowhere.,,,”
Not true! most of the early scientist were creationist. And for your information, creationist believe in science and discovery (HOW ridiculous). Science FACTS support the bible, NOT the other way around.
“... A chimp .....look at the DNA of a chimp and compare it to a human and a gorilla .....either deal with or not...”
WHAT are you trying to say??? we came from apes??? Just say it!!! You believe we evolved from lesser forms??? say it!!!
“... “evilution?” How cretarded....”
Atheistic Evolution (as accepted) is Evil, Those accepting it are evil or ignorant. (since it is NOT based on science, but more of a belief system)
“..... What explanation are you going to use ........bacteria that plague humans?.....”
SIN
“...How do you explain how all present species.......from a rodent ‘kind’?.....”
Observable and proven. The varieties within species is an established fact.
“......Thanks. I will pray for you......”
Thanks! I need all the prayers I can get!!!!
However,....(only) “..the prayers of a righteous man availeth much...”
Funny!
It is not an absurd statement to point out that the less educated someone is the more likely they are to be a creationist - and even a few thousand educated creationists in no way makes it not a fact. The highest proportion of creationist belief in the USA is among those with a High School education or less. The lowest proportion is among those with graduate degrees. Do you understand how stupid you sound when I point out a fact about an entire population and you say it is absurd because of one contrary example?
The less educated someone is the more likely it is that they are a creationist.
There is no atheistic theory of evolution. Just as there is no atheistic theory of geology. Or an atheistic theory of gravity. Or an atheistic theory of radiometric decay.
So apparently you have no problem with a rat and a mouse evolving from a common ancestor - just humans and chimps evolving from a common ancestor. Apparently when you need evolution it happens at thousands of times the rate proposed by evolutionary biologists - but only within undefined “kinds” - for whatever reason.
What if I pointed out to you that the genetic difference between a mouse and a rat was much more than the genetic difference between a human and a chimp? Why is a 3% genetic change acceptable among rodents - but a 1.5% genetic change not acceptable among primates?
And what theory are you going to use to explain bacterial evolution of antibiotic resistance again?
“SIN” is not a scientific theory. You may think no scientific theory is necessary to describe and predict (and prevent) the development of antibiotic resistance - but such willful ignorance is dangerous.
