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.

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.

If you're going to mount the high horse, learn how to spell insolent first. Then try looking it up. Insolence is the failure to show the deference due to one's superiors; if you fancy yourself in that position, the issue isn't my insolence, but your hubris.

You have the sheer hubris to believe that you know the mind of God a priori. The rest of us seek to know God by observing his creation. The powers of observation and reason are part of His creation at least as surely as that little book you so cherish.

And evolution does not imply that God got something wrong; creation was right then, and it's right now. It's just not the same now as then. If I build a clock, and it doesn't say at this moment that it's noon, there's nothing wrong with the clock. It will say it's noon when it's noon.

The problem is that your fragile little ego can't handle the possibility that God knows something you don't, so you have to reduce the ongoing miracle of creation to something you can write in crayon on the back of a Denny's place mat.

God created evolution and quasars and quantum mechanics, with no more effort than you or I would exert to make a cup of tea and a slice of toast for breakfast. You will not and cannot understand the mind of God, because the infinite cannot be contained by the finite. It's like trying to squeeze Jupiter into the trunk of a Pinto.

It is you pious, self-righteous zealots who most gravely insult the Almighty -- you delude yourself that you are His gatekeeper, that your squawkings are His will. You know nothing, least of all that you know nothing. You have neither wisdom nor humility. If you find that insolent, so be it.

Right, you finally got it! He started the ball rolling...
