You remind me of a poster from quite a while back. His moniker was "Willie Green". I do not know what became of him.

The reason you remind me of "Willie Green" is that nearly every day, for about two years straight, Willie would post an article or opinion piece relating to his pet cause in life. In his case, it was "High Speed Magnetically Levitated Trains". (He should be happy, the Porkulus bill apparently has billions for one)

Every day, he would post. He would cite the same studies. He would point to the same sources. He would have PRECISELY THE SAME arguments with THE SAME PEOPLE over and over again. He would convince NO ONE. NO ONE would convince him. He would have his cheering section shouting "AMEN!". He would have the same detractors shouting "IDIOT!" Each and every thread was a near carbon copy of all the others.

Now, as I read the purpose of Free Republic in its mission statement, it is for the disemmination of political information and events, with discussions to aid in the promotion of of the conservative principles laid down in our Founding Documents.

I come here to keep abreast of current political events, read analysis and opinion about the actions of our as well as other governments, and learn what might be happening that could affect the liberties and freedoms I cherish about the good ol' U.S. of A. I am sure that a fairly high percentage of Free Republic members and lurkers do the same.

When I am interested in some other topic, say "Comic Books" for example, I might visit another site, such as SuperHeroHype, where they discuss COMICS and not POLITICS.

It simply occurs to me that you might find your time better spent, and your postings better received, on a site that primarily concerns itself with religious matters.

If your purpose in repeatedly posting essentially the same arguments over and over is to "convert" any heathens reading them, you might find a more receptive audience at a site for people seeking religious answers, and not political information. If your purpose is to hear your ideas cheered by others, again you will get a better response at forums exclusively devoted to religous matters.

No, I am not yelling at you, "HEY! DON'T POST HERE!" You are free to do what you want, as long as your postings do not upset the folks running Free Republic (they have the final say as to who has posting privilages here, not me). What I am asking is that in all honesty, is this the best forum for the topic you seem to hold so dear? Do you not feel even the slightest pang of pointless repetition when you post the same thing over and over?

With regards to POLITICS and GOVERNMENT, a 4 billion year old earth and a 6000 year old earth affects Obama's stimulus package how? A 4 billion year old earth leads to the inevitable conclusion that you need Gun Control? Is that how it works? A 6000 year old earth implies that Federal income taxes should be bracketed in three tiers?

Just seems a tad off topic for daily postings on a POLITICAL forum.

Well Ace, I for one am glad GGG posts what he does and posts it here. I argue for some things he says or posts and I argue against the same, I argue with GGG and he with me. (Most of the time I'm right)

But evidently there is enough interest to generate hundreds of comments pro,con, in between, which is what a forum does.

If you'll let me know who forcing you to pay attention to these forums I will happily ask them to stop so you won't be distracted from the cosmically/comically important political tripe of the day such as the death of Bill Clinton's cat.

The theories of evolution have been used by non scientist socialist types to justify their monstrous activities over the past 150 years or so. Discussions of evolution vs the Biblical accounts of creation are important in understanding the motivations and psychology of the Dem liberals who are “hell bent” on destroying the Judeo Christian principles on which our nation were founded.

While the average biologist might be appalled at how Darwin has often been misused in the political arena, the top academics in the field have suppressed any meaningful scientific criticism of the subject. These top scientists in the field simply follow the money, advocating politically leftist “scientific opinions” that bolster the Dem socialist politicians’ anti christian view points in order to keep the funds flowing for the scientists’ pet projects.

These evolution discussions do belong here. The evolutionists who consider themselves fiscally conservative FREEPERS have got to understand that Christians’ biggest concerns with the subject have to do with attempts by socialist change agents and politicians to misuse the science to separate Americans from their godly heritage. George Washington said best when he stated “Religion and Morality were the twin props of liberty.”

There can be no morality derived from the theory of Evolution, only a chilling utilitarianism that declares the greatest good for the geatest number with wars being fought over the definition of “good”. A good and moral people ensures a free open society. A society that declares war on religion and morality in the name of evolutionary science ensures that a population arises that is unrestrained in evil and murder. Natural compassion and love are seldom found in such a people and consequentially the sick, weak, old, and the politically unfavored are in the cross hairs for elimination.

It is the attempt to derive a new type of morality from what is supposed to be morally neutral science that has Christians on edge concerning evolution. The ten commandments teaches a man not to steal and that there are eternal consequences for it. Science has no such restraints to teach men other than survival by tooth or claw or the supression of individuality for the greater survival of the hive(the socialist mindset).

I will say again it is the misuse of science and indeed evolution particularly by the socialist minded politicians (and their “scientist money grubbing toadies”) that have caused the most damage to the reputation of science in the minds of serious sober minded thinking Christians. True reason can be likened to a virgin that would never prostitute itself with a priori bias; the a priori biased thinkers would never like her anyway...she forces them to be intellectually honest with themselves!
