God does not spend a lot of time dealing with the fool who says there is no God.

He says only one thing on the matter and I find it laced with Wisdom,

"The fool has said in the core of his being that there is no God" --- God.


Well said, God.

Someone said: " you sir, are only playing with half a deck".

I interprete that to mean that you do not have access to all the information.

And you do? Where did you aquire this "information"? Do you believe only your information is correct? Do you deny the fact that your information might be flawed?

The first time I ever heard someone deny evolution, dinasours, and the fact that the world is billions of years old was in basic training in the Army.

It was some redneck kid from Kentucky with barely enough intelligence to tie his damn boots. He was sitting there insisting the world was only 6000 years old, and that dinasours were a plot of the devil. I couldn't believe anyone could be this ignorant.

Haha funny, when I was in Kentucky, the above was the general belief of the kids and I was the ignorant misguided fool who was too stupid to see the fact of creation 6000 years ago. I guess Ky wasnt nessecarily the best place to get a good view of the american public :)

So now you tie evolution to dinosaurs?

Two separate issues.

Evolution, no. Dinosaurs, yes.

Geez - you just LOVE to read things and then twist them to fit what you want, eh? He said that the fella in the Army denied evolution, dinosaurs, and the age of the earth. How can you take from that that Amused thinks they're all tied together? He was just relaying what a religious zealot (much like yourself) told him, NOT what he thinks. Open your eyes and try to do some unbiased critical reading.

What are you talking about? Are you a moron or do you just not understand English?

Cafeteria Christians, those who pick and choose what they believe from the Bible, may or may not believe in evolution.
Hard-core, the Bible is to be taken literally Christians do not and are the problem in today's society. Having schools teach creatism instead of evolution incorporates the church and the state, which is completely wrong. We're supposed to be getting an "all-around" education when we go to school, not a tunnel-eyed one like these hippie Christians want us to have.

Jeez...the nerve of some people.

I will ask it again:

I will answer my own question so that you may learn, son.

God is Love.

Someone said, "There is nothing more tragic than a man who has spent his life looking for Truth, and then is introduced to it by a close family member. He then because of stubborn pride, spends his energy railing against it in a spirit of folly and ignorance".

People say a lot of things. Evolution is a theory, cannot be proven to be true. Sure there are a few things that may lead one to believe. It's proven that it would have taken much longer for cells to develop into a life form.




Christians that believe in evolution do not truly have thier hearts in the right place.

All-around? How are they getting an all-around education if schools are only teaching evolution?


Hehe, we're a problem in today's society? Care to explain that?

If you believe that Public Schools should teach creationism then you believe in teaching Myths as the truth. In fact you believe that Lies should be taught as the truth.

So I assume that you would abdicate the teaching of buddhist philosophy, in schools next to evolutionary theory

It's tunnel-visioned religious zealots like you that are the reason the world is such a hell-hole today. Open your eyes and realize that just because you THINK something that doesn't mean it's true. Why not pray to the Greek gods? Stories of them have been around far longer than Christianity. It's just as equally plausible that they're true, and Christianity is bunk.

Honestly, I don't know why I'm wasting my time writing this. There is no way to make a zealot like you learn to accept other people. You'll always be judgemental and put yourself on a pedestal. It really makes me sad. All the people fighting in the middle east have the exact same mindset as you - that's why they are constantly killing each other. Bah - I've wasted too much time already...

MrPALCO Quotes:

Christians have access to all knowledge and can see the whole.


"The fool has said in the core of his being that there is no God" --- God.
-----------------------------------------------------

Christians having access to all knowledge is doubtless why the Pope and Catholics believe in evolution. Having been burnt by resistance to a heliocentric system, they said fool me once shame on.. on...on me.

I doubt that God would have said "the fool has said in the core of his being..." because it's laced with absurdity. Anybody who can speak from, access the core of his being knows God.

In the contest of gods, your god has already been defeated.

Your struggle to legitimize you god, will not succeed.

I really do, and they annoy me too, but sheesh...every religion has a handful of numnuts.


It depends on the definition of evolution, and it is not in the dictionary.

Evolution as proposed bt Darwin as the origination of the species has never been proven and we now know all humans had a common ancestor and he was not pro-magnon man or any missing link! Science has all but disproven evolution at it is commomly interpretated.

The definition has been expanded to include any change in an organism and even those changes brought about by artifical means.

The posters in schools showing man evolving from a chimp through various phases to modern man is one of the biggest jokes ever perpetrated on society! No proof was ever needed, only theory. In this case theory equals lie.

The fact,Tominator, and this can and has been proved, that you and I share 98+% of our genes with Chimpansees is close enough for government work. We are not only not different, we are rigorously speaking, the same species.

By the way, it's Cro Magnon.

Have a banana.

I don't understand how anyone could not believe in evolution, just because the preachermanwith the BMW and the gold rings tells them not to.

I grew up in a church and no one there takes the Bible literally, certainly not the Old Testament.
I am surprise so many seem to.

Pssst, here's a free clue:

I didn't link them, HE DID.

That ends my generosity for the day. Now go away.
