Ignoring your mocking insult ("evo-cultist victims," whatever that means) here's my answer: God says "Hey, how ya doin" to me. Short of that, I'd ask for two things: Evidence, yes evidence, of the Deity. Anything will do. Evolution has hundreds of thousands of pieces of evidence, I'm asking for ONE.

I apologize for those Christians who believe that insulting non-believers is a good way to bring them to know Christ.

I wish we could meet face-to-face so that I could show you these things, but the strongest evidence for God is how he changes lives for those who will let him. Read about William Wiberforce and see the movie Amazing Grace. God used Wilberforce to end slavery in a large portion of the world. Look at Mother Theresa and the changes she brought to the streets of Calcutta. Look at modern missionaries who serve lepers. Google for past missionaries who served leper colonies, knowing that it was a death sentence.

I can tell you what God has done in my life. He has changed me from a greedy, materialistic teen-ager to a middle-aged man who realizes that the highest calling is to serve God through serving others.

I can introduce you to a very close friend who, 10 years ago, was an illegal alien, a thief, a drug smuggler, and a smuggler of other illegals. He met Jesus and Jesus changed his life.

I can introduce you to a lady who once was an abortion activist and abortion provider. She was foul-mouthed, and addicted to drugs and alcohol. Today she is a loving woman, free of alcohol and drugs, who helps pregnant mothers find alternatives to abortion. She is at peace now. She never had peace before.

I can introduce you to my father. Three years ago, he lay dying in the emergency room with a blood pressure hovering betweeen detectible and undetectible. My wife and I anointed him with oil, prayed to God, and his blood pressure rose 20 points in less than a minute. Half an hour later, everything was normal and he was sitting up and laughing with us. I have witnessed, been a part of, or been the recipient of many miracles. Yes, I know that not everyone who prays for divine intervention receives it. Sometimes God's will is to answer yes, sometimes no, and sometimes not yet.

God is an awesome God who cares for each one of us personally, down to the tiniest details of your life. If you care about something, he cares about it.Please Freepmail me if you want to talk privately.

With of course the exception of science class, because consistently, we’ve seen in these argumnents “God has no place in science class”.

Another memo you apparently didn’t get DM.

Ah yes.

But on the other hand, insulting/bashing/harassing believers who don't agree with you, is all in a days work.

So tell me, is it possible to be a Christian and believe in a literal six day Creation?
