'Totally Strange' Hurdia a Hurdle for Evolution
ICR ^ | September 9, 2009 | Brian Thomas, M.S.

Posted on 09/09/2009 10:05:48 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

Cambrian rock layers contain fossils that represent almost every modern phylum of animal, plus many that are now extinct. One animal fossil in particular would win the weird prize, if there were one. Paleontologists have been piecing together this strange creature’s body parts, which look as though they were taken from an array of totally different sea animals. This variety of features eludes an evolutionary explanation.

The parts of this particular fossilized animal had previously been described separately and given different names, as though they belonged to different creatures. But a recent study revealed that all these parts came from just one “totally strange” sea creature...

Is that a requirement to be a Christian?

Don't know your Bible very well, do you? You'd know the answer to that if you did.

Lemon bomb??? No idea...it’s your gig isn’t it...something you do out in the backyard in Texas when you tip a few too many?

And as I pointed out, it’s just not conservative to side with the NEA lunatics uptight with God demanding all things are unintlligent, purposeless, undesigned and by sheer accident.

Uhhhh....it’s not.

And it’s still not after you reposted it either.

Is there something you don’t understand about your position you owned when you attacked in post 19, or is it you don’t have any idea what conservatism is?

There you go with your liberal excesses again.

You are such a socialist that you think that if someone else does something wrong that makes it OK for you to do the same thing.

What next will you be a delegate at the next Democratic National Convention?

But I’m asking you. Is this why you refuse to acknowledge the Christianity of Catholics?

Uh.. I didn't make post 19.

Are you on crack? I'm really concerned for you.

You may need some type of intervention.

Law enforcement maybe.

Heck. I can't even get her to acknowledge that God is the Intelligent Designer!

That DOES pose a conundrum, does it not?

If a Catholic has been born again, they are Christian.

A Christian is a follower of Christ, not a follower of a church, no matter what the denomination.

The Bible defines what a Christian is, not a church.

I know it escapes you, but it’s not my side that has to rush to liberal judges to force my scientific views on children...that would be YOUR side of the aisle...

so I’m also relatively sure it’ll further escape you that only your fellow liberal colleagues will find it remotely meaningful and convincing when you fling about your great ape poo: “echo chambers” and horseys and hats and so on all over FR...

drink the kool-aid but spare the normal folks already Ira!

“If a Catholic has been born again, they are Christian.”

But being born again is not part of Catholic doctrine! Are you saying that a person who faithfully adheres to Catholic doctrine is not a Christian?
Are you?

Depends on what or who they are trusting for salvation. Living your life by following Catholic doctrine is not the same as trusting that Catholic doctrine to save you.

It was Christ who died for our sins. He’s the one we trust for it. If you trust something else, you are not following Christ and hence cannot accurately be called a Christian.

Your outlook betrays a weak faith and it is truly sad to watch. For millenia, Catholics and other mainstream denominations have been known to be Christian by everyone. Then, some group of doubting Christians, without the firmament of faith, sought to cling instead to the literal word of the bible. Without the comfort of the literal word, their faith would vanish. Allegorical verse in the bible to them became the requirement to be “born again”, literally. To them, they are the only true Christians.

They are wrong.

You are wrong.

Your faith is weak.

So when Jesus said that we must be born again, He really didn't mean it? And how did you determine that Jesus didn't mean what He said?

You mean Judge John E Jones III the Republican judge appointed by President George W. Bush, and was co-chair for the transition team of Governor-elect Tom Ridge. Who was also was unanimously comfirmed by a Republican controlled Senate, and his an active member of the Lutheran church.

Is that the liberal judge you are talking about?
