"Dr." Dino is the comedy gift that just keeps on giving.
Trot this 'tard out some more!
Are you a scorpion?
We all know that disheartening sound: a
bird smacking into a window in our house
or office building. The fact that birds strike
our windows every day is not only sad, it's
serious: more birds die because of
collisions with glass than any other factor
associated with human activity. Anywhere
from 100 million to 1 billion birds are killed
by window strikes each year. These strikes
account for the death of up to 5% of the fall
bird population. As the number of our
homes and offices continues to grow, the
number of bird deaths is likely to increase
as well.
The dude discredited himself. He failed to even attempt to get a permit for his theme park in Escambia County, FL. He said, "I don't need a permit." There's no nitpicking going on by the County authorities, the man just brushed them off. He also brushed off the IRS in his business dealings. His legal mouthpeice hawks tax evasion schemes.
"Who was the 900 foot jesus dude?"
Mark Griffin, but I'm not sure what he has to do with any of this.
I have the same reaction every time. Here I am, able to view the world from my home via a computer, and some of the same people doing the same thing are somehow stuck in the 15th century and proud of it.
I just don't get it.
The flat earth society is alive, well and growing.
Just kill me now.
That was Oral Roberts.
So there I was in the hospital elevator the other day....on the 2nd floor with only one other floor below.
Going down.
What floor please?
One!
And you sir?
I am not ready to go any lower.
It's easy enough to understand. It speaks for itself.
You do seem to have a very flexible mind.
Yep you sure got me pegged. Christ taught us Christians to hate our enemies and persecute them.
But "back in the day" us commoners were not allowed to read the bible. So maybe it was more your day then mine.
**Reading your post...You seem to be angry, but aware.**
I tell people I tend to be 'serious, with a smile', much of the time.
**That Acts 2:38 thing is ummm........................interesting.......................**
It's the big picture, the 'born again' experience, and it has happened to more than just simple folk. I know some of them to be very well educated, very smart people. When one is filled with the Holy Spirit, he makes his presence known by speaking through that person, in a language that he/she did not previously know. It is a shockingly real happening. I made fun of such people in times past, but since I've 'been there, done that', there is no doubt that God is real to me. (I've witnessed some that have just spoken some gibberish on their own so they could be 'part of the club'. Those people don't seem to last, which doesn't surprise me).
That is my point. As for evolution there are two kinds of replication. One replicates results that do not prove what happened in the past directly. The other applies only to evolution as an ongoing process.
I am inclined to think evolution happened because it seems to best fit the evidence. I just don't think it can be scientifically proved, and I think banning alternative views in the name of science is nonsense. As you go back into the history of biology, science is less and less applicable. You must rely more and more on assumption and less on empirical evidence.
Christ did not murder, rape, plunder, and pillage. Thus such actions are not part of following Christ. Moreover people who have done any such thing must repent in order to follow Christ.
Christ already told us there would be some calling him "Lord Lord" who will be condemned at the time of judgment, for he never knew them.
"...while antiquarians might be able to guess when the remains in the urns were interred, it is impossible to determine the identities of the deceased." -- Sir Thomas Browne
I think you misunderstood the reason I used quotes. I was trying to draw a distinction between those who put an emotional investment in evolution as opposed to those (like myself) who are inclined to think it happened only because of evidence, and would not be upset if it tomorrows evidence shows something different.
