Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site

Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.

We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.

We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.

Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.

For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.

And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.

FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.

And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.

Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.

FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.

We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.

Keep your powder dry.

[autumnraine]

Right, but then that would cause the new species to die out and reverse exactly what evolution is supposed to be.

Submit Chocolate Chip dough, Submit, the Blood of Christ compels you! Submit Chocolate Chip dough!

[mnehring]

Just one? Lungfish for example, with both gills as well as primitive lung structures. Seals, with traits of both ocean going mammals and land mammals.. etc, etc, etc.. Those are just a couple of obvious examples.

[TitansAFC]

“Fringe”

LOL

Oh how the Founding Fathers - Christian, Deist, Agnostic, or otherwise - would roll-over in their graves at that characterization of the folks at FR.

They gave King George the boot for much, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH less than we put-up with now from the Socialists.

Patrick Henry and the bunch would be censuring Copenhagen in the halls of Congress, to loud applause. Imagine Jefferson being asked to subsidize foreigners who wish to impose a tax on everything industry produces in our sovereign nation!

I don't know if the founders would be laughing to the point of speechlessness or recruiting patriots for battle......

“We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.”

Absolutely!

They’d be a mutt with attributes of each. But the offspring would be able to breed with another dog so they are the same species.

[Phileleutherus Franciscus]

Well, they would be a different species within the animal classification I’d assume (regarding the big cat).

But say a poodle and a cocker spaniel breed, that new breed within the dog species doesn’t make them a wolf, right?

All of the cat species, from the house cat to the jaguar to the tiger, in the New World and the Old World, were once the same animal (whether you accept Creation of "kinds" or evolution), yet there are huge differences among them now. If you put a group of chihuahuas in a different environment (islands are classic) where, perhaps, the primary easily accessible food was grain, how long would it take before the descendants of the chihuahuas were indistinguishable from rats? (Assuming you can tell the difference now :D)

[autumnraine]

I liken it to races like in humans. Different genetic features for adaption to different environments. Or just variation in color.

[scripter]

Indeed!

[bravotu]

But That’s is ALL they WERE and All They Will Ever BE,
Get It?
No Change..

[CaptRon]

so why did you ask here?

[Phileleutherus Franciscus]

Not anymore. For reasons that elude me, the trend today among the "biology" establishment is to push headlong and recklessly into species splitting -- as opposed to species lumping.

That brings up the elephant in the room, yes? What is a kind? What is a species?

I think I'll stick with the don't/won't breed to produce viable, fertile offspring. It may have some holes, but at least it seems like it might work.

[goat granny]

Thinking along the lines you speak of I came to the conclusion a long time ago that I am a almost closed universe myself. Billions of cells depend on my life force to stay in existence...but some must be killed via medication or they will kill that universe, me....

[CaptRon]

They’re not now?

[Pharmboy]

I’m with you, JimRob...uh oh...I’m a Jew...and I stand with my Christian Fundamentalist brothers and sisters. Does that confuse them?

[mnehring]

The thing about what we classify as ‘races’ is that the traits we use to identify the differences in races (skin color, some small facial structure issues) are genetically so insignificant that the genetic differences between individuals is far more different than that we identify between races. It is more of a man made construct than it is any sort of real classification.

[eyedigress]

That’s a pretty rough greeting. Quite accurate if taken in context!

[CaptRon]

In fact the human genome project pretty much put the lie to “races”

[autumnraine]

And so all the finches are still finches, and all the robins are still robins, etc...

Go look at post 182 that he was posting to.
