From Darwin's own personal papers, written in Darwin's own hand he expresses his pleasure with the advancement of his theory in Germany.

Show me the quote. Or give me a cite.

So, did someone say Darwin believed in God? So do the devils believe in God, they know about Him as a fact . . and tremble.

Darwin believed God created the universe and the first life forms. He was not a devil.

You "help" evolution along if you think you can and think you have the moral high ground to do it. . that is, when "science, so-called" is your god.

There is no "goal" of evolution to help it along to. Evolution means change, not progress. You see a teleological end that doesn't exist.

Once, creation was at least given a nod in the public school system in this country. Now, freedom of speech is free only to those who spout the theory of evolution as fact set in stone.

I don't have a problem with creationism being taught, but it isn't a part of science. It is a philosophy.

The "theory" of anything else is a twice-burned book in this country, as are just about anything that doesn't fall in line with the godless liberal agenda in America and the world.

There is no competing scientific theory for the explanation of the diversity of life.

Maybe Darwin had no conscious goal in the theory - except his own recognition, a weakness we humans have to our downfall.

I have no idea what you are saying here.

Evolutionists can find a pig's tooth and create and whole "missing link" around it out of plaster, complete with drawings of the supposed missing link civilization to illustrate it.

"Nebraska Man" (the pig's tooth) was never considered a "missing link", was debunked within 10 years of being found, and if it were true, would have actually disproven ToE. In fact, that was the main reason for the skeptical attitude many scientists had when they heard of the "discovery", because it didn't fit the theory of the evolution of man. It is only trotted out today by creationists desperate to attack the theory. Scientists aren't perfect, but the mistakes do get found by other scientists, not by outside critics.

Oh and those drawings you mention? They were made by a journalist. You know, a member the MSM? Everyone knows how intelligent they are.

I was created by God, in the image of God

Does that mean that you believe God has a body? Please answer, this is important.

I used to think very little about how God went about it and didn't care how he accomplished it . . then, in a burst of light, I realized that He did it exactly the way He said he did it, and I'm going to hang my life on believing Him.

You mean, the way you interpret the Bible. Not everyone agrees. It is also your faith that the Bible is God's word. Not everyone agrees with that, either.

I'm not an ape's great-grandchild. If anyone chooses to consider themselves an ape's great-grandchild, then that is their prerogative.

I'm not either. No human is. And all flesh is made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. All flesh will die and degrade. There is nothing special about our flesh. This world will die and degrade. That is the nature of the physical.

Sir Isaac Newton was a genius, not just someone who thought he was a genius - and he honored the Word of God, and was smart enough to take it literally and study and write more words about it than probably most anyone ever has. When he was old, he proved his genius by recognizing that even with all his scientific brilliance he was still only like a little boy sitting on the seashore and wondering at the vastness of the ocean and the wisdom of the Creator.

Science and the Theory of Evolution offer us nothing of any lasting value in eternity, for as you said, the physical realm is all to burn up anyway. So, all the written and spoken words, arguments and doubtful disputatons will disintegrate when the Creator drops the final curtain, which may be soon. We have been living in the Last Days for the past two days; well, that's in time as God reckons it, to us that's 2,000 yrs. since Christ ascended to His Father.

"Likewise, I say unto you there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."
Luke 15:10
