Like most other creationists, and as the Bible multiply and affirmatively asserts, God himself "formed" your children in the womb. And yet I'm sure that you have no objection to human embryology and development being taught matter of factly as a natural biological process in textbooks. (At least, having long followed the antievolution movement, I'm not aware of a single such objection ever having been raised.)

Yes, that is true, but a 5 week child in the womb is still a human ableit a smaller one :-) Actually childbirth from a Biblical perspective is a result of the fall and was not the original way God formed man. 16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children.

You're probably right. Tell you what. Let's end this debate right here. I'll take your word over the word of Sir Frances Bacon, Sir Isaac Newton and Louis Pasteur. What did they know about science anyway?

Well the first two had no opportunity to either agree or disagree with the theory of evolution. So your point is?

I agree that I did not type the end quote ("...."), but it was not my quote. That is all.

Thanks, Thatcherite.

Some amusing Hovind material:

Introduction of Dr. Kent Hovind and his Creation Seminar. A few "chapters," all hilarious. That "Dr." title is fraudulent.

And tell me, what was Aristotle's view of Einstein? Augustine's of Aquinas? What an inane comment.

Ah, the old creationist tactic of appealing to the creationist beliefs of scientists who died before Darwin was even born as if that somehow cast doubt on the theory of evolution.

I mean, really, I know that you don't have any honest arguments, but could you come up with something slightly less blatant?

"...but you're lying if you suggest that there's any direct evidence of him outside of the New Testament."

Never read any of Tacitus's work I presume.

Also the Romans would have just loved to romanticize a figure like Jesus Christ and written volumes upon volumes about His life and pursuit contrary to the Roman ways. [Extreme Sarcasm towards the historically challenged]

XS> Nominally Christians. Surely not a follower of the Christ.

AK> So again, you're saying the Pope is not a Christian?

Let's see does he believe in and follow the Holy Word of G-d?

Genesis 9:6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

No. I think he has a problem with G-d.

Because unlike Bacon and Newton, he actually lived after the Theory of Evolution was first drawn up which means he could conceivably be used as the genesis for an argument. Regretably, however, he wasn't a creationist.

Speaking of Einstein. Isn't he the one who said, "God does not roll dice with the universe."?

Einstein was around after evolution was proclaimed wasn't he? And Einstein was a scientist wasn't he?

The Pope sheds blood? Have you thought about notifying the Rome Police Force?

I wasn't referring specifically to that post. I am sorry if that wasn't clear.

I was referring to maniacs like you in general. How's that?

Oh sure he was. Now tell me: what was the context of that statement? Was Einstein referring to evolution? Please try not to be dishonest. You know as well as I that Einstein was no creationist.

I see potential here, but I'm waiting for a real gem:

Einstein was around after evolution was proclaimed wasn't he? And Einstein was a scientist wasn't he?

A lot more than you.

BTW, was this supposed to be a list of anti-Darwinians? If so, Bacon and Newton died long before the theory was formulated. And Pasteur was not against evolution.

He was also an evolutionist.

I have. And considering that Tacitus was born twenty years or so after the Crucifixion, that's hardly "direct evidence".
