The bible says "the sun stopped for a day". Physicists would say that is impossible.

Fun? No, simply reinforces what I said earlier, we have a fundamental disagreement and believe. I belive God and His word, you believe man and his word.

I believe Genesis 1-11 and you believe the account of the evoltionist.

Fun? No! Sad? Yes!

You know, one of us is right the other wrong. If I am right, and you don't change your ways, you're in for a terrible eternity. But, if you're right and I'm wrong I have lost nothing, nothing at all.

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.
