Many posters, even many on this site, have vehmently expressed the view that Christianity held back the advancement of human progress,

The charge that Christianity has held back scientific progress is utterly ridiculous. (Symptom #1) Perhaps the best example of pagan materialistm is atomism. (Symptom #6) The fortuitous and mindless joining of atoms (Symptom #3) holds absolutely no prospects for scientific inquiry and neither does the fortuitous and mindless mutations held by present day materialists. (Symptom #4)

Only theories which deny mindlessness and propose order can be the source of scientific inquiry. (Symptoms #5 & #6) It is this belief in order, in natural laws which as stated in our Declaration come from God (Symptom #9) that has proven to be the source of the scientific spirit and scientific progress (Symptom #11) in the Christian West.

Anarchy is a prelude to THE POLICE STATE...liberalism/EVOLUTION perpetuates it!

If Liberalism be evolution Then its a backwards track in time we take when freedom and liberty a spike in the eye of a king and a sting to aristocrats and monarchs once again we must beat back those red diaper doper babies who would bind us in chains and call it Evolution when its actually Tyranny

Insult by the numbers. Problem is that all the statements you insult are true and you cannot refute them so you just call them names. So typical of evolutionists.

Ohhhh! I see, you just have to have faith. And if you have faith it's automatically true. Nice trick ;-D

Atheism requires an active belief system. Since no absolute evidence refutes God’s existence, one is required to reject (and reject and reject). A belief without absolute facts requires faith. Does your faith and belief make it true?
