God and Jesus are our spiritual salvation; They gave us Coyoteman and men like him to be our worldy salvation, you arrogant, prideful fools! Scientists to venture where YOU are afraid to go because your faith in God is too weak to handle His ways that insult your pride -- those scientists are creatures of and gifts from God, and if they are self-declared atheists, then that is their own cross to bear and all we can do is pray that they see the light before they die; other than that, it's none of our business because as long as they don't engage in murder or false witness or cruelty or theft, it's between God and them.

THE FRUITS they bear and share with humankind, fruits that have saved, extended, and enriched lives for the better of all -- out of pride and self-deceit, you take for granted the many mighty accomplishments of science, accomplished by men willing to undertake its disciplines, which you clearly have never done, but you certainly reap the rewards (as do we all) of their work -- and don't expect to fool ME with silliness of thinking that just because some scientists choose to interpret and act on what they learn as "proof" that God doesn't exist, somehow indicts all of science, including paleontology and Darwinian theory, as worthless.

You spit in God's face when you reject the Coyotemen of the world merely because they offend your personal interpretation of the Bible.

You and heaven knows how many of your loved ones are are probably alive today ONLY because of scientists who used evolutionary theory to design vaccines and figured out how to defeat diseases that would have killed you otherwise, or who came up with ways to save your mother who may have died in childbirth while YOU died a preemie. Men of science, evolution studies or not, atheists or not, who live the Judeo-Christian ethic (unlike the scientists who did experiments on Jews in the Third Reich), do us much good. You should be praising God and thanking Him for them; instead you indulge in pride and reject them in God's name!!!! You are BAD dogs.

YOU and GodGunsGuts are the ones behaving like lost causes -- but YOU SHOULD KNOW that the ONLY determiner of a Lost Cause is God Himself.

Evolution doesn't challenge God -- it challenges human pride.

We need no worldly salvation, nor do men like Coyoteman provide it. Scientists are men like all other men - there are good ones and bad ones.

“... you arrogant, prideful fools!”

I have said and done exactly nothing that is prideful nor foolish. You can’t make that claim since you think scientists will save us.

“Scientists to venture where YOU are afraid to go because your faith in God is too weak to handle His ways that insult your pride — those scientists are creatures of and gifts from God, and if they are self-declared atheists, then that is their own cross to bear and all we can do is pray that they see the light before they die; other than that, it’s none of our business because as long as they don’t engage in murder or false witness or cruelty or theft, it’s between God and them.”

Nonsense. Evolution doesn’t insult my pride. Many things about it, however, insult our intelligence. Also, evolution has nothing to do with my pride. I am humbled by the creative power of God.

“THE FRUITS they bear and share with humankind, fruits that have saved, extended, and enriched lives for the better of all — out of pride and self-deceit, you take for granted the many mighty accomplishments of science,..”

No. I take nothing for granted. I just don’t confuse human ingenuity with “salvation”. I also keep in mind that some scientists have been enemies of their own species using their God-given talents merely to develop new ways to torture, kill, maim, harm and terrorize men, women and children.

“...accomplished by men willing to undertake its disciplines, which you clearly have never done, but you certainly reap the rewards (as do we all) of their work — and don’t expect to fool ME with silliness of thinking that just because some scientists choose to interpret and act on what they learn as “proof” that God doesn’t exist, somehow indicts all of science, including paleontology and Darwinian theory, as worthless.”

And don’t try to fool us by falsely waxing eloquently - expending verbal gas really - that scientists are our saviors that that means we are all evil and scientists are all wonderful. That’s just nonsense.

“You spit in God’s face when you reject the Coyotemen of the world merely because they offend your personal interpretation of the Bible.”

I never brought up the Bible. I also never mentioned my personal interpretation of it. I in fact have no personal interpretation of it in this regard. I reject Coyoteman - if that is in fact what I am doing - because of his silly adulation of neolithic coyote myths over the great Western canon. Got a problem with that? I really don’t care.

“You and heaven knows how many of your loved ones are are probably alive today ONLY because of scientists who used evolutionary theory to design vaccines and figured out how to defeat diseases that would have killed you otherwise,...”

No. 1) I am alive because of God. No scientist could keep me alive if God wanted me to expire. Case closed. 2) Scientists rely on the real evolution of actual viruses much more than they ever will on any theory of man coming from apes.

“...or who came up with ways to save your mother who may have died in childbirth while YOU died a preemie.”

Neither situation had anything to do with Darwin or evolution.

“Men of science, evolution studies or not, atheists or not, who live the Judeo-Christian ethic (unlike the scientists who did experiments on Jews in the Third Reich),...”

What do you do about the fact that there are scientists who actually claim that those Nazi butcher scientists did some worthwhile scientific work? I guess you now give them a pass in a sense and dismiss them? It took you this long in your rant to admit that are scientists who indulged in evil?

“... do us much good. You should be praising God and thanking Him for them; instead you indulge in pride and reject them in God’s name!!!! You are BAD dogs.”

You are just not very bright. I never indulged in any pride. That’s clearly you. Look at your rant here. It is completely out of touch with the reality of what I have written and why. That hasn’t stopped you, however.

“YOU and GodGunsGuts are the ones behaving like lost causes — but YOU SHOULD KNOW that the ONLY determiner of a Lost Cause is God Himself.”

True enough - except that Coyoteman exults coyote myths from neolithic people while dismissing the importance of the Western canon and then derides anyone who dares to believe in a creative God.

“Evolution doesn’t challenge God — it challenges human pride.”

No, evolution creates pride. As it clearly has with you.
