Having your thread hijacked to the Religion Forum is significantly better than having your airplane hijacked to Cuba, cigars notwithstanding. If only because in the former case you can always power off the computer and go do something useful.

Let it go.
"Discuss the issues and do NOT make it personal" applies to everyone. There will be consequences for personal jabs - whether or not "justified".
There is zero tolerance for this toxic thread.

Do you agree with this:
4. Evolution explains family values. The following characteristics are the foundation of families and societies and are shared by humans and other social mammals: attachment and bonding, cooperation and reciprocity, sympathy and empathy, conflict resolution, community concern and reputation anxiety, and response to group social norms. As a social primate species, we evolved morality to enhance the survival of both family and community. Subsequently, religions designed moral codes based on our evolved moral natures. 5. Evolution accounts for specific Christian moral precepts. Much of Christian morality has to do with human relationships, most notably truth telling and marital fidelity, because the violation of these principles causes a severe breakdown in trust, which is the foundation of family and community. Evolution describes how we developed into pair-bonded primates and how adultery violates trust. Likewise, truth telling is vital for trust in our society, so lying is a sin.

Dear Religion Moderator,
"...will be 'cookied' for ignoring my warning."
I know what "cookies" are, but am wondering just what it means to be "cookied."
Thanks,

That is so apt a description! I am going to save it.

Similarly, the naturalist believes that beneath every natural phenomenon there exists yet another natural phenomenon. If explanation by reference to an endless stack of large turtles is silly, then an explanation by reference to an endless stack of natural phenomena would be equally so. The naturalist's answer for the origin of life, therefore, is some natural phenomenon. (Which one is not particularly relevant.) When you ask them how that natural phenomenon came to be, their response boils down to: "It's natural phenomena all the way down!"

yes...it's a sad thing that alot of kids are being taught evolution without the objective flaws of it. But they will find the facts with just a little bit of searching.

Well I for one did, and the closer and deeper you look the more the 'mirage' evaporates until it is gone away like the illusion it is. However the starting point for me was very early on with the big rhetorical academic build up of the theory and its supposed importance, then that juxtaposed against the current 'best evidence' which would have been circa 1965 to 1978.

The smart kids with common sense will be able to see through it without any research. After all, it's a philosophy and not rocket science. More so, when they have articles that includes a statement, such as, 'What difference does it make' says a lot.

I understand Warrior of Justice is a

I didn't watch the video yet. But why were all of Warrior's great posts that exposed the falsehoods of evolution deleted. The way it appears, they were TOO good.
I guess it's just another 'what difference does it make'.
