Stephen Bratteng, a biology teacher at Westwood High School in Austin put this together. I got the list from him when I heard him testify in favor of solid science in biology textbooks, in hearings before the Texas State Board of Education in 2003:
1. Why does giving vitamin and mineral supplements to undernourished anemic individuals cause so many of them to die of bacterial infections?
2. Why did Dr. Heimlich have to develop a maneuver to dislodge food particles from people’s wind pipes?
3. Why does each of your eyes have a blind spot and strong a tendency toward retinal detachment? But a squid whose eyesight is just as sharp does not have these flaws?
4. Why are depression and obesity at epidemic levels in the United States?
5. When Europeans came to the Americas, why did 90 percent of the Native Americans die of European diseases but not many Europeans died of American diseases?
6. Why do pregnant women get morning sickness?
7. Why do people in industrialized countries have a greater tendency to get Crohn’s disease and asthma?
8. Why does malaria still kill over a million people each year?
9. Why are so many of the product Depends sold each year?
10. Why do people given anti-diarrheal medication take twice as long to recover from dysentery as untreated ones?
11. Why do people of European descent have a fairly high frequency of an allele that can make them resistant to HIV infection?
12. Why do older men often have urinary problems?
13. And why do so many people in Austin get cedar fever?

Yes or no question: do you ever feel guilty about lying?
He’s not lying at all, and you know it. He made a perfectly valid point; you need to have a planet for your satanic *theory* to work. Without knowing how the world was made, and by whom, you can never know what happened afterward. Everything you think you know will be deceptions created by the dark one intended to ensnare souls for Hell. If you don’t start with God, brother, you ain’t going no where!
You are a Poe, aren’t you?
I never read him. Too many occult references.
That’s an “Are you still beating your wife” type question. My point was valid, I don’t lie. If we supposedly came from “pond scum” as most evolutionists tout, then yes, evolution of the planet must be considered a factor in the evolution of man.
