I'd say the odds that you've ever actually bothered to look at ANYTHING in the fossil record is essentially nil.

Well, excuse me Mr. Conceited Intellectual Giant Elitist.
You just go ahead and adhere to your religious beliefs and I'll stick with mine, okay?
If you believe humans "evolved" from pond slime billions of years ago, rather than being uniquely created as human beings by the Creator - you've got a hell of a lot more faith than I have. And a bleak hereafter.

Evolution is a dirty needle...aids---mad bone-fossil disease!

Amusingly, you are the egotistical and arrogant one since you are claiming that one has to match your beliefs for salvation. Jesus didn't require one to renounce evolution to be saved.

Boys, I think we got ourselves a new slogan.

Uh, I hate to pop your halo,but. . .

If you look back to Genesis, you see a historical record that parallels the findings of astronomers, astrophysicists, geologists, and biologists. In fact, that was the masters thesis of a buddy of mine when he was in seminary. His argument was this: Religion and Science are NOT at odds: Religion is about the question "Why", and Science about "How". . .

With all the physical evidence in place, either one of two things happened.

(1) God created the world and the universe "x" number of thousands of years ago, and made it "old". But by doing so, He had to lie to us in the physical record, to get us to solve the riddles he put in place as to how the world worked, i.e. science.

--OR--

(2) God created the Universe in such a way that he planned it to turn out the way it did. "Let there be light" becomes the Big Bang, and all the rest occurred along planned, pre-programmed lines.

Now, take whichever view you want, but I find scenario two FAR more awe-inspiring. But then, as an engineer, I see God as the Ultimate Engineer and Designer.

Scenario one is like placing the balls on a pool table in a particular pattern. Scenario two is going from the racked balls on the pool table, and getting them to that pattern with a single shot to set it all off. . . .

[whattajoke]

I'm HOPING you are joking. How can one be "conceited" when one accepts science over supernatural silliness? That is, supernatural silliness that tells its followers that in all the vast universe, of all the planets, of all the species, of all the 6.5 billion humans, of all the billions of religion-followers, of all the millions of christians, that only the tiny fraction of fundamentalist literalists can have ever lasting life and happiness? By my figuring, your INCREDIBLE conceit is absolutely glaring, not the evil evolutionists!

[Conservative til I die]

You know what I never get about these arrogant evolutionists is how they mock Christians for believing that we were created by a God, when at the same time they believe that humans came from pond slime in a series of random, 1 in a billion shot, series of events.
