Even if he did, that's not what you initially claimed. You called evolution an "idiot theory" and you said that it was designed to "disprove the Bible". Retroactively changing your claim now is fundamentally dishonest.
Indeed -- Jorge's dishonest backpedaling is duly noted.
If I wish all you evolutionists a Merry Christmas, will you wish me the same? I mean, afterall, most of you profess to be Christian too.
Merry Christmas
"Can you support your "opinion" with evidence?"
No. It's still an opinion. No evidence as of now.
Time for me to hit the hay too.
If I wish all you evolutionists a Merry Christmas, will you wish me the same?
As for myself, I already did in post #847.
"Why should we believe you when you present nothing to support your claims?"
Hey, I'm just a beginner here. Give me some time before I can support my opinions. You'll never know, I may move into the evolutionst cult camp when I'm finished reading and researching.
Regarding your post #899...There are too many self-professed Christians(they are great Christians, just ask them they will tell you they are)who try to claim that they and their own personal interpretations of the Bible, are the only 'truth' of the Bible, and anyone who has a different interpretation cannot be a true Christian...I find that whole scenario to be ugly, and demeaning...and yes, 'bad'....its no longer a matter of having a disagreement, its a matter of trying to absolutely discredit someones faith, and they do it in the most vile manner...so yes, that is very 'bad'...there is a way to discuss religion, without calling people names, and telling them that their religion is from the Devil...
In my book, you cannot be a true Christian and act this way...These self professed Christians claim to have a higher moral standard than other people, but it seems they dont think that they have to live up to it, when they lie...the Bible is very explicit about liars...the Bible says that Satan is the father of liars...its almost as if an evolutionist should lie, thats to be expected by creationists, because of course, evolutionists have no moral standard, not like us Christians...but continually and knowingly making statements that are false, and then somehow justifying that by claiming, well, we are lying for God, so we will be excused, does not jive with the Bible...
Thats as good as I can explain it...
>Huh?
Hey, you're the one who brought homosexuality into this. I guess what you're really trying to say is that God isn't all-powerful.
Where in the Bible does it say evolution isn't true? It says God only used six days in the first chapter, but it also says He created plants and animals before man in the first chapter and He created man first in the second chapter. Which is it? They can't both be the literal word of God, since they contradict each other. Instead, they are both descriptions of why rather than how, and evolution is our best understanding of how.
Indeed, ,this Christian also wishes everyone a good nites sleep, and a very Merry Christmas...
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.
Maybe one day you'll start reading the New Testament. In the meantime, I hope you eat your steaks well done.
Seeing as you guys are such experts on the subject, list them yourself.. or are you yet another who stands on the street throwing dirt at something he hasn't even bothered see for himself - another armchair superior intellect sitting above it all scoffing from ignorance.. The videos are free. Please tell us you have a clue. I'd hate to see you guys show yourselves ignorant prejudicial jackboot drones marching to some script cause you can't think for yourselves...
Apparently you are as ignorant about Spirit lake as you are about Hovind. "gullies in ash.." You're either ignorant of your subject or a liar. The vast mudflows in the aftermath of the eruption may have included ash; but, they were hardly 'ashflows' as you would profer in ignorance. Go learn something and come back when you know what you're talking about. Don't waste our time pontificating from ignorance.
So Hell is Alaska in the wintertime?
<sigh> just keep reading, Jenny. Just keep reading... :-)
When you are standing before God, and he says, "Why did you believe a book written by your less knowledgeable ancestors over the evidence of origins I left all around you?", don't come whining to me.
Thanks for posting # 622 as a reminder. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Hovind could be hauled off in cuffs by the IRS and these guys would still defend him.
A pity. A pity which shows your contempt for learning and evidence and your desire to avoid learning anything that might disturb your comfortable belief about the special place in creation that you and a few others who think like you occupy. Ichneumon's science posts are jam-packed full of interesting information and physical evidence. I can see why you'd skip them.
You evidently don't, which is your misfortune.
As explained previously (and I'll try to use simple words so you can understand it this time), this is known as loss leader marketing materials. Hovind makes his profit on the back end from the sheep who believe his bilge and then pay for his speeches, entry into his bible theme park, donate money to him, etc. As also explained previously (see post # 622 for a link to a related story), the IRS has found that Hovind has been making in excess of $ 1 million per year and not paying taxes. Care to explain why he's not rendering unto Caesar?
