So you consider getting straight A's and perfect 4.0 GPA to be "turning your brain off"?
And being at the top of your class contradictory to God's principles?
You think God wants losers and failures as followers?
One reason I never let an evolutionists lecture me on morals or God's principles.
God and His people can run circles around evolutionists on their own turf.
If you think evolution is some half-cocked idea dreamed up by crazy scientists to discredit God, you haven't learned squat.
Try reading a science book. A real one.
I KNOW it is. And I promise you that one day you will learn the truth.
And this is coming from a committed X-evolutionist.
To which you replied:
I KNOW it is. And I promise you that one day you will learn the truth.
And this is coming from a committed X-evolutionist.
You realize, of course, that is a theological position that not everyone shares with you.
I was thinking more of extremophiles having "converted" other, lighter, hydrocarbon sources in the early Earth into munchies for later critters (diatoms, etc.).
This makes the critters with the munchies coincidental with the existence of short chain hydrocarbons, not the primary source.
We also have an incredibly large biomass contained directly in rocks in the crust that, if squeezed out, would undoubtedly deliver something useful to burn.
Now, the question of what you are pointing to, I think it's the idea that quite ordinary bacteria, diatoms, etc. are the final source for fosil oils, with them having cruched it out of hydrogen (from water), and carbon from ?
So, where do they get the carbon?
Uh, I post on FR. Of course I know this :)
As a christian, you are not supposed to lie, even to yourself.
Now, a Fundamentalist Muslim, that's a whole other story.
So, you weren't actually lying? Because I believe you were. Listening to infidels, and lying to them by faking to understand what they were teaching is lying, therefore, you must not be a Christian, you must be a Muslim, because Muslims are allowed to lie to unbelievers.
Good Lord in Heaven, you have got to be kidding me...
How would you know?
Tell me ONE SINGLE thing you have evidence I lied about.
You can't because I didn't.
Of course I understand why an evolutionist wouldn't believe anybody has integrity...
I don't know whether to laugh, or cry.
God and His people can run circles around evolutionists on their own turf.
Really? Then why don't they?
In order to refute science, you need to use science, but first you must understand the science.
You have so far proven that you can do none of these things.
You claim to have believed in evolution, there is no belief in evolution, either you understand the theory, or you don't, there is no belief.
It is a scientific theory, not a religion.
Did God leave all of this evidence to fool us, and take us away from him? Did he give us our powerful brains and logical thinking skills in order that we would discover his trickery, and therefore be taken from him?
Sorry, I don't buy it, not for one minute, unless of course you believe that Satan is strong enough to leave such evidence himself.
I do get confused by Creationists sometimes, the evidence exists, there is no refuting it, I mean, it's there.
If God did not mean for us to find it and figure it out, why does it exist? and if he did not create it and is not the trickster, then you are saying that Satan is powerful enough to leave that evidence.
You have me royally confused.
But, again, if you wish to run circles around the scientists that understand evolution, I really wish that you would get on with it, because I have yet to see it.
You are mixing apples and oranges.
You said that you took the classes, yet did not believe what your teachers were teaching, yet were able to get straight A's.
You were lying, because taking those classes went against your newfound religious principles.
Why is that confusing to you?
Just admit it, you lied to your teachers, by pretending to understand what they were teaching.
For self interest, you pretended, which is just another way of lying.
Don't get me wrong, I think that children pretending is good for them, but an adult pretending is lying, because you know better, especially in that context.
Laugh. Definitely laugh.
Laugh LC, just laugh, because such ignorance really is hilarious. The knowledge is out there, all they have to do is have an interest in finding it.
So yes, it is funny.
Laugh.
I've done it for years in Evolution forums, and finally came to realize that it was a waste of time, that those who rejected the Word of God were not interested in the truth. Period.
As an ex-Evolutionist I have seen both sides of this debate.
Well, then, what good does that do me?
I haven't seen any of your arguments, I have no idea what you have for proof.
You claim that you have such proof, but I haven't seen it.
Share it with the newby.
I am very interested in seeing this socalled scientific evidence that will disprove the theory of Evolution, that you claim you have.
I have a very open mind, but also remember that I have a very objective mind, and will ask for full accounting for what you claim.
Please, share your enlightened scientific evidence with me, it is scientific, is it not?
If it's not, don't bother, but if it is, please, share it with me.
They're stupid, ignorant, and frightened. And they find similarly afflicted people over the internet and form a herd of like minded sheep to bleat at the prospects of the future.
No, you're the one who's confused.
The underlying principles of Physics neither supported nor denied Evolution.
There was NOTHING dishonest about my being able to learn Physics and get straight A's on my tests and assignments, regardless of the fact my professor interpreted these same principles as supporting evolution.
I don't have to agree with his conclusions at all, but he could not deny my an "A" for excelling in his class.
NOTHING the least bit dishonest about that.
