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.

Well that clear it up.

About what I expected.

[CaptRon]

I was referring to ID. Where is the
‘pure science’?

[metmom]

It’s been around for a while. It’s called Darwin Central.

It’s like DU but with an evo flavor.

[metmom]

Then you’re choosing to be blind.

[Thumper1960]

Pitting discredited “science” cum religious philosophy against faith and expecting clear answers from either side?

Surely, you jest, Sir!

[CaptRon]

I could say the same to you. But you are certainly entitled to you you opinion. If you can find a thread that has originated as an anti-evo thread, please send my the link. You know, like the ones from ICR,CMI, etc.

Just some vanity poster. Merry Christmas!

Humans and plants share a large percentage of DNA. All made by the same creator that's why. The fact that humans and chimps share 90 plus per cent of DNA means nothing because we have no idea how VAST the universe of the remaining different DNA is. We do know it is HUGE.
If you have 10 people and you kill off 9, you only have one left. If you have 1,000,000 people and you kill off 900,000, you are still left with 100,000 people. That is a lot. We don't know how far down the rabbit hole goes. Evolution has NO PROOF. NONE. Most science proves an EXPLOSION of species all at once, not over millions of years. Just because they say it on NGO doesn't make it true. Question EVERYTHING. You can make up your own mind.

[metmom]

Well, join the crowd.

I daresay there’s a lot of us who knew about FR for years before joining.

My only regret is not doing it sooner.

2005.

Check.

[I got the rope]

Speak for yourself Jim.

I consider myself to be just slightly to the left of Jesus.

[eyedigress]

Evolution is Satan’s answer to all beings on earth and clearly smacks of the Bibles teaching of a Creator of human life and the war between good and evil.

[Theo]

Jim, I have the highest respect for you and what you’re doing here. Thank you, sincerely.

[CaptRon]

Discreditited by whom? I have no real dog in this fight. I believe in the theory of evolution. I give no worth to a a belief that it is correct solely because the followers thing it is true and the only evidence is their faith. I applaud them for their faith, but it is not science.

"If you can induce a community to doubt the genuineness and authenticity of the Scriptures,
to question the reality and obligations of religion;
to hesitate, undeciding, whether there be any such thing as virtue or vice;
whether there be an eternal state of retribution beyond the grave; or whether there be any such being as God;
you have broken down the barriers of moral virtue, and hoisted the flood gates of immorality and crime.

I need not say that when a people have once done this, they can no longer exist as a tranquil and happy people…
Avarice, perjury, ambition, and revenge would walk through the land, and render it more like the dwelling of savage beasts than the tranquil abode of civilized and Christianized men."

(William McGuffey, quoted in Power Lectures, The Parables of Jesus, page 320).

[I got the rope]

How did this turn into a crevo thread?

[swheats]

Thanks for posting the link.

[Thumper1960]

Discredited by the very weight of its accumulated claims. As you admit, it is just a theory. Not a scientific fact. Global warming is a theory, too. Just as the much ballyhooed Global Cooling craze of the 1970’s was a theory.

[metmom]

No. It’s essentially the same Old Testament and we’re familiar with that.

I am here all the time, and I don't recall a Creationist bashing thread started here on FR. Evo bashing threads are started ALL the time.

I can't believe that this issue is going to tear some more of us out of here. As I recall, back in the day, FR was a Conservative site, with a welcome extended to libertarians. It seems that through the years, the criteria have become narrower. For the first time here, that gives me great pause and sadness.

Can't we all just get along? There really are issues that bind us, alot of the side issues really cannot be resolved, so why wring our hands, and our membership, over them? I'm afraid that there are many good people whom we stand to lose this way.
