I accept that the evidence supports ToE

[stands2reason]

Uh-oh! False dichotomy!

Is God posting on this thread? What's his screenname?

[Dimensio]

You know what, with all you babbling, you say nothing.

Is that your way of saying that you'd rather fabricate my position because you don't know how to address what I've actually said?

It stands. You are calling God a liar.

Wrong. Now you're just lying.

God created the world and every living thing in it. If you do not accept His Word, The Bible, you have no capacity for truth.

You are again assuming your conclusion. You are assuming not only that the Christian God exists, but also that it exists exactly according to the nature that you claim. It is not "lying" for me not to believe you.

Yet you hang onto what Kent says.

I do not "hang onto" what Kent says. I merely point out that he has made demonstratably false claims.

A mere man who depends on God for his every breath.

Non-sequitur.

Why do you look up to man?

What is this supposed to mean?

How lowly do you think of yourself?

I think of myself more highly than I think of you. You've demonstrated that you are fundamentally unwilling to read for comprehension.

Animals do that - oh I forgot - you belief humans are animals.

Are they not? If you disagree with taxonomic classification, please justify your objection to homo sapiens sapiens being classified in Kingdom Animalia.

Now, do you have an argument that actually addresses any points that I've made, or do you wish to continue making up my position for me?

On that note - no more chit-chat.

Oh, okay. You're going to run off like a coward now. Not surprising.

Maybe you should become familiar with the meaning of the word "analogy."

[stands2reason]

I'm merely quoting HIS WORDS.

in your opinion.

[presently no screen name]

You are correct. They are true to form.

They are really calling God a liar. Something they have to live and die with.

Imagine, bowing down to what a 'man' says - Darwin - about creation. How lowly they think of themself. No wonder they call themselves animals.

[Dimensio]

They are really calling God a liar.

Not accepting your interpretation of scripture is not the same as calling God a liar.

Imagine, bowing down to what a 'man' says - Darwin - about creation.

No one "bows down" to what Darwin says. You are lying.

How lowly they think of themself.

Strawman.

No wonder they call themselves animals.

If you have a justifiable reason to dispute existing taxonomic classification of humans, present it. That you have failed to do so despite being asked more than once tells me that you are simply deeply upset that reality does not conform to your personal delusions.

[RunningWolf]

The only point you have made, and the only point you have ever made.,,

Is that you are one very tragic statistic of what this godless evo cult can do to a soul if one allows them self to be drawn into it.

Everything else you say (while momentarily irritating) is barking moon-bat trivial.

[...So, are you going to take that Python to court for swallowing that human child? No. Non-sequitur...]

Not really. You can't take an animal to court when it behaves instinctively. An animal can't make a contract. Thus the difference between Humans and animals.

[presently no screen name]

So typical of the clueless. Name calling.

You call me coward for ONE REASON. YOU want me to respond to you! You think you have an audience so you can spew your silly little monkey theory.

Every time you call me a liar, you are calling God a liar BUT you don't have the guts to go that far - do you? Coward applies to you. A little projection on your part.

Like I said, I don't converse with the animals. God's Word says I have dominion over animals. What does your god say? Dig for a fossil or eat a banana?

[stands2reason]

Thanks. I'm lasy. :-)

(the last letter of the alphabet is sticking on my keyboard)

Checking Partridge's Origins, I see it originates from an old Germanic term meaning "a going" -- implying simply "a going-together, an agreement." The term must have gained a more solemn and religious connotation over time.

[stands2reason]

Still, my feel for the meaning of the word has never been exclusively religious. I've never seen the dictionary like a word bible; it tends to lag behind reality a bit.

[Dimensio]

You can't take an animal to court when it behaves instinctively. An animal can't make a contract. Thus the difference between Humans and animals.

No, you can't take a non-human animal to court or enter it into a contract because of human-created legal structure (note that I am not advocating changing this structure).

Thus the difference between Humans and animals.

No, thus a difference between humans and other animal species.

[Dimensio]

So your evidence that existing classification of humans in the Kingdom Animalia is incorrect?

Every time you call me a liar, you are calling God a liar

Okay, not only are you a liar, but you're arrogant and delusional. Now you're claiming to be God.

[Jo Nuvark]

[...He evidently couldn't forgive mankind without killing His own son...]

Nuh uh. Jesus was a volunteer. And sin put Him on that cross. My sin and your sin.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for the ping! Indeed I posted the article you linked Enoch and Astronomy

The picture however was posted at 113 as a reply and was based on a translation on Enoch which is common currency on the internet and among the "new agers" - as editor-surveyor suggests.

The more recent and accurate translation is only available (AFAIK) in written form, the Charlesworth edition of the Pseudepigrapha. How this relates to the picture is on the above link at posts 116, 122 and 129

[stands2reason]

I prematurely BINGOed. How embarrassing.
I'll just slink back to my metal folding chair now.

[stands2reason]

Great style, alternating insults and prayer.

Something Pythonesque about it I can't quite put my finger on....

[stands2reason]

Brings back memories of eight years in Catholic grade school going to mass each day before classes.

What, alternating ad hominems with paternostrums? I heard those nuns were tough, but come on....
