These are the people who constantly insult creationists that you are so eager to defend.

Excuse me?

I was not defending anyone on the other thread.

I did however explain again in post #113 what a waste of time it is to be angry and argue.

With real science, there is no need for compromise.

Does "real" science have a "real" scientific method that can be communicated directly, in clear an unamabiguous terms?

You just can’t deal with evolution being stated as a “materialist religious assumption about the unobservable, unrepeatable past.”

Evolution is compatible with what I and everybody else observes, living things replicating by natural means. I have yet to see a living thing created out of nothing.

You have said what you came here to say to me, no? Or are you just going out of your way to be tedious (and therefore insulting)?

That’s a rather vague observation, since science has never hit me in the face. Science is the life blood of my source of income, which hits me mostly in the wallet, in the most pleasant of fashons.

When you get old enough to get a job, I reccommend that you shy away from technology, as you have absolutely no aptitude therein. Try commentary and blogging on beauty contests.

To all but the evolution and global warming cadre, it seems so.

Cut it out now, GGG.

Have a good night.

"Evolution is compatible with what I and everybody else observes, living things replicating by natural means"

an unsupportable assertion at best, since there is no evidence that any living thing has ever evolved into anything other than exactly what it's parentage was.

Yep- just like Darwin Central and talkorigins.org- their ‘claim to fame’ is that they have ‘Christians’ on their little comittees- but there is NO denying those folks are about as ‘Christian as Aminidinutjob is- their sites are undeniably ANTI-CHRISTIAN- Their contempt for TRUE Christianity is disgusting- but their misguided ideology consists of beliving they can deceive the masses by appealing to Christians who are too lazy to investigate their ‘scientific’ claims in detail

How do you know this? I haven’t demonstrated any tech skills I may or may not have.

Sorry, I got this thread confused with the other thread, but my reply still stands (with respect to the other thread). I will pray that God opens your spiritual eyes to the invisible war going on right in front of you. All I keep thinking is no wonder Canada has quietly gone to the socialists...and America (God forbid!) is not far behind. If you don’t stand for Christianity, to include God’s account of creation in Genesis, you are likely to fall for just about anything.

[[ the most elite organization of American scientists — have concluded that to make evolution palatable to Americans, you must show that it is not only consistent with religion, but also no threat to it.]]

That’s EXACTLY what they deceitfully do! Sadly many misguided folks will buy into that crap- and liek I said- never investigate the incredible claims of macroevolution for themselves, and they’ll be duped into thinking macroevolution is ‘compatible’ with ‘Christianity and hte4 bible’

I also love how they claim “You have no right to decide who is and who isn’t a ‘Christian’- and they’ll throw out all manner of out-of-context verses to ‘back up’ their statement- and do so with a straight face- and again, sadly many people will fall prey to their subtle deceit

I got a taste of a few of those so-called Christians on the last couple of threads. Thanks for your reply, dear CottShop!

What right do you have to decide who is or isn’t a Christian?

Right on cue- God given right- We’re commanded to spiritually discern FALSE TEACHERS, and to expose them when we spot them- But thanks for playing

By the way- We’re ALSO given instructions in God’s word as to how to spiritually discern who is and who isn’t Christian- By their fruits shall ye know them- and when their fruit are rotten- it isn’t too difficult to discern they are NOT of God

What does this do? IEnumerable data = ...; var q = ParallelEnumerable.Select( ParallelEnumerable.OrderBy( ParallelEnumerable.Where(data.AsParallel(), (x) => p(x)), (x) => k(x)), (x) => f(x)); foreach (var e in q) a(e);

Surely you can provide those instructions.
