And I show you a red pencil, you then say,

Slight spin here...

If YOU say, "This pencil is red BECAUSE of [blank], it is up to YOU to prove the [blank].

I am not disputing the redness of the pencil, merely wanting to know HOW it got that way.

Are you being willfully difficult or do you just not understand?

Merely trying to nail the Jell-o® to the tree.

wouldn't this "eating" ability that can be produced in a short as 9 days in Pseudomonas aeruginosa from non producing populations. tend to suggest this ability is more a pre-existing switch. as opposed to random mutation and selection.

Heretic!!

You've said it much better than me, when I've tried to point out that 'believers' in E do NOT follow their 'belief' when going to the doctor!

[Elsie]

Dawkins has reasoned himself to insanity...

ACTS 26:24

At this point Festus interrupted Paul's defense. "You are out of your mind, Paul!" he shouted. "Your great learning is driving you insane."

[Elsie]

Submitting that it can happen, and then drawing conclusions base on a premise that it must happen is not "nice".

But this is EXACTLY how most of the E arguments are presented!

She is a wiccan. They consider themselves to be good, but I never could figure out why.

I think I know:

NIV Jeremiah 2:35
you say, `I am innocent; he is not angry with me.' But I will pass judgment on you because you say, `I have not sinned.'

NIV 1 John 1:10
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

If one is 'good' then they need no one to take away their badness.

Knowledge is MUCH different than Wisdom.

What gives that story precedence over the Maya, the Chinese, the African, and Native American myths?

Jesus of Nazareth

Freep mail is supposed to be private...

UHhhh...

More like 'non-public'.

As an aside, if life was "intelligently designed" as opposed to "stupidly designed" why do Whales have feet?

Likewise, if Evolution is the cause for all we see around us; how did it invent hiberation?

If ya don't gorge and sleep, ya freeze.

If ya awake too soon; ya die.

If you awake to late, yer dead.

I'll refer you to your post at 459, and note that you seem to think your religious beliefs dictate that you have to attack other people for theirs, even if their beliefs pose no possible threat to you and yours.

I must have missed the 'attack' part.

[Live and let live conservative]

As historian Paul Johnson has written, the history of the 20th Century (dominated by the rise and fall of facism and communism) was a record of what happens when man and society reject the notion of God.

Fascism and Communism weren't failures because they rejected the notion of God. They both failed because they rejected the notion that mankind is inherently and rightfully selfish. To think that man will work selflessly for the benefit of others, even to his own detriment, is unreasonable. Authoritarian governments inevitably fail because they reject reason.

[Elsie]

Well man-made evolution CAN predict the outcome.

Sigh...

[Elsie]

Has anyone been there and back, no.

I guess you HAVEN'T read the Book!

Many EYEWITNESSES to the event you wish you could have seen, have dedicated their very LIVES to getting this information out to all the world, and the EVIDENCE is plain to any who actually want to find it.

[Elsie]

Lots of hypocrites on this thread I've noticed.

How can we tell them apart from the rest of the posters?

[Elsie]

Your questions can't be answered, you either have blind faith in whatever religion or you don't.

Are you SURE??

Oh? How do you know?

[Elsie]

Why should I, an agnostic, believe the Bible over the hundreds of other religions?

There are at least two kinds of agnostics: those who actually do not 'know' the answers to the questions they ask; and those who do not WANT to know if there are any answers to be had.

To be able to 'answer' your questions requests a bit more knowledge of you - which kind of 'A' are you?

ALERT!!!!

 

 

"If there is a God I am prepared to be judged upon my deeds" That's why you don't stand a chance. "If there is a God he will make all knowledge available to me." He did, the Bible, and you chose to ignore it. You must be an apprentice word warrior.   459 posted on 12/19/2006 9:35:10 PM CST by editor-surveyor

<---  What you're calling "evangelism" is just mean-spirited religious bigotry.
