I belive God and His word, you believe man and his word.

I believe fact. Observable, provable, testable fact. If God created the universe, then His stamp is on all of it -- not just between the covers of one narrow book.

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.

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

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

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.
