Ann Coulter weighs in on Darwinism

I’m happy to report that I was in constant correspondence with Ann regarding her chapters on Darwinism — indeed, I take all responsibility for any errors in those chapters. :-)

Christ was ELECTED to be born at a specific appointed TIME, evolution will not fit that profile.

Sure it will. You haven't thought this through very much, have you? Christ fiddling with a particular birth at a particular time is no more incompatible with evolution than modern in vitro fertilization methods, or any of the many other methods by which the course of natural reproduction is altered by intent (such as cloning, etc.)

Please engage brain before posting.

Thus evolution if is to be believable would not could not be and yet follow a supposed detailed time lines under such proposed randomness.

Wrong again.

It pleases me to know you devote so much time to ME!

Please continue researching my posts...its just one more way I can be assured youre reading the truth somewhere in your life.

(If Adam was created on the sixth day, and the sixth day was an unknown, long period of time, then how was Adam 930 years old at the time of his death?)

If a day is a long period of time, perhaps Adam was created at the end of that period of time. It is even possible that the bodies that would become man took up a great deal of that time in there development, but were not endowed with a spirit until the end of that period. With that endowment, man was created, and thus, day six was concluded.

I don't know that I believe that, but I can see how it is not in conflict with Genesis. Therefore, I have to consider the possibility, just as I should consider the possibility of YEC. God's creation is no less His if He did it this way.

NO it is NOT all predestined, were that to be the case there would have been no point to this flesh age!!!!

Leave it to an anti-evolutionist to be obsessed with flesh.

I believe humans are humans. Simple concept.

So it should be easy for you to tell us which of the skulls in post 300 are humans and which ones aren't. Because we're having problems deciding.

And exactly how many Christians have you encountered? I would like to know if it is a statistically valid sampling.

The bottom line is this …. If I do not agree with you then I have not read your post because I am one or all of the following ignorant of the facts, unable to comprehend a real debate or argument or a religious zealot, or just plain stupid.
We disagree … and you know what, its ok.
Your primary argument is … I disagree because I do not know the facts, but these facts are facts as you wish them to be … I disagree with many of your assumptions … its ok that I do …. It does not make me ignorant or uninformed … it just means we disagree and its ok that we do.
Of course I have mocked you, and made snide remarks … it is precisely because you do get so agitated.
I have been here too long to be a troll, but you are free to think as you wish … its ok.
Bye Bye

And exactly how many Christians have you encountered? I would like to know if it is a statistically valid sampling.

I have not kept a running total. However, of individuals whose religious affiliation is known to me, the majority have been Christian. None of them -- including those who profess acceptance of the theory of evolution -- have suggested a belief that God has lied. Perhaps you have an example of Christians who have made such a claim?

"You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the universe." - John Adams

The Source and existence of our rights are an unbreakably linked...You can't separate the two.

Certainly, John Adams, Sam Adams, John Hancock, John Morton, Robert Treat Paine, Benjamin Rush, Roger Sherman, Richard Stockton, John Witherspoon and other signers thought so.

Can you name a founder that did not attribute the existence of our rights to God (with primary source documentation)?

Not many on these threads, dispite the sounding of trumpets.

Let's try to stick to the real world? "If creationists termed against germ theory" is a rediculous and entirely moot point of argument.

Fine. If any group turned against germ theory I'd be "religiously", by your definition, defending it. That would not make me a follower of a religion by any reasonable definition.

I'm just saying that you're equivocating the concept of "religion" by claiming that evos are religious merely because we are stoutly defending ToE against concerted attacks by religious people.

How would you expect me to look at pictures of skulls that have been fashioned from small pieces of bone and know which came from apes and which ones came from humans?

[Dimensio]

How would you expect me to look at pictures of skulls that have been fashioned from small pieces of bone

Which of the skulls have been fashioned from "small pieces of bone"?

[js1138]

Actually the pictures are formed by lighted pixels on your computer screen, technically speaking. The skulls themselves are mostly complete and intact.

No wonder, the excerpts on that page were copied from Matt Slick's C.A.R.M. website. His articles on evolution have been debunked time and again on his own message board (this being only the most recent one) as well as elsewhere but as far as I can tell he hasn't seen fit to correct any of them.
And I should also mention that many evos that post on his message board are no lightweights either (much to his dismay ;^).

[mlc9852]

I don't have any examples because all the Christians I know believe the Bible. I guess you know the "other" Christians.

[mlc9852]

That would be "despite" I believe. And I was unaware that FR had sound.

[Dimensio]

I don't have any examples because all the Christians I know believe the Bible.

Interesting. Is this because you have never met someone who professes acceptance of Christianity and acceptance of the theory of evolution, or is this because you have re-defined "Christianity" to require rejection of the theory of evolution?

Everyone knows scientistis can't spell.

[mlc9852]

But they can use spellcheck, can't they?:)
