I would have to argue that life is almost, but not entirely unlike tea.

Yours is the true blasphemy, the belief that the mind of God can be neatly wrapped and placed in this room by the Gideons.

The worst blasphemy is believing that the handiwork of god is defective or tainted.

Europe is a land of feminized androgenous automatons - the whole continent smells like estrogen.

And you, sir, are as handsome as you are intelligent.

For an idiot I can sure put a nice sentence together, and use big words too! - like "feminized androgenous automatons" - haha! Hit close to home?

It's only a matter of time before all of sissy socialist Europe is facing Mecca 5 times a day.

As God said it???? - I think you mean "as man wrote it".

Nope, as God said it, for I know that what happened is that God told them what to write and they wrote it just as He told them to.

Why is it not hard to accept the fact that if you get a letter from President Bush or the undersecretary to the phone answer at Senator Collins office that they probalby didn't write it, that they probably dictated it and a person in the dictation pool took what they said down and that a typist typed it and a machine signed it. Yet you won't allow God the same privleges. Read 2 Timothy and 2 Peter.

6,417 years ago the first animal died, probaly a sheep, God killed an animal or two so as to make clothes for Adam and Eve and to establish the need for blood in sacrifice for the atoning of sins.

Why did I deem it a lie? Read Genesis one, two, three, and four. then read Genesis five to see that we are all kin.

Ether genesis 1-5 is untrue or darwin's http://www.literature.org/authors/darwin-charles/the-origin-of-species/ is untrue, I believe God's word, therfore I deemed Darwin to be a lair and his book untrue.

I believe fact. Observable, provable, testable fact

So, you can observe, prove and test the theory of evolution? Now that I want to see.

You choke on a gnat and swallow a camel. While you have your nose pressed to the pages of the Bible, you not only ignore but dismiss as Satanic all the glories of creation, from mosquitos to nebulae. Do you really think that you honor God by dumbing his creation down to a level you can understand? Do you honor God by claiming that your tiny mind can contain His thoughts, while you condemn those sho spend their lives striving to comprehend a tiny sliver of them?

You're like the drowning man who, sitting on his roof, waved away rescuers in a canoe, a boat and a helicopter, believing God would come to his rescue. When he stood before the throne, asking God why He did not provide, God said: "I sent two boats and a helicopter. What were you waiting for?"

Yours is the true blasphemy, the belief that the mind of God can be neatly wrapped and placed in this room by the Gideons. His creation is intricate in its complexity and infinite in its variety, and if you try to boil it down to something that fits your narrow little understanding, you're ignoring most of it.

Now, I have had enough of your insulant bull. Let’s get something straight, those of us who believe that God created all things in six days are saying He did it right the first time. You who believe in evolution say He needed millions of millions of years and that things where not right to start, as He had made them so they need to evolve.

Some of our more Neanderthal posters fail to remember that there are a number of intelligent, freedom-loving European posters on these threads. On the crevo threads we have a couple from Great Britain and at least one from Sweden.

Honestly, how do you know this to be the case? What evidence do you have that the Bible is a direct dictation from the Almighty?

Refusal to answer a simple question noted. False claim that you have already answered the question noted. You responded to the question with irrelevancies and evasions, but you did not answer it.

Can you remind me of the passages in Origin of Species where Darwin was racist? Hint: Darwin said nothing at all about the human race in OoS.

Ether genesis 1-5 is untrue or darwin's http://www.literature.org/authors/darwin-charles/the-origin-of-species/ is untrue, I believe God's word, therfore I deemed Darwin to be a lair and his book untrue.

So in what way did Darwin lie? Be specific.

Now, I have had enough of your insulant bull. Let’s get something straight, those of us who believe that God created all things instantly are saying He did it right the first time. You who believe in a literal 6 day creation say He needed 6 days and that things where not right to start, as He had made them so they needed tinkering with until they came right.
