Quote# 8004

[Arguing with a Jew] The Tanach still isn't Scripture - and note the little cross icon - I'm not Jewish, so why the heck would I reference - or care about a reference - to the Tanach [Old Testament, in Hebrew] when the case is supposed to be built biblically? I'm not seeing a need here... Got a Biblical reference you want to make your case from?

[More on David Blaine]

There are a lot of jealous magicians out there who downplay the reality of what Blaine is doing and try to explain it away. He does levitate. He does so by demonic power. The scripture speaks of lying wonders in the last days.

Quote# 8009

It's no use. Evolutionists conveniently divorce themselves from explanations of abiogenesis because they have absolutely no explanation of how it is possible. To simply state that it's not part of evolutionary theory is a cop-out.
The simplest concievable form of life as we know it would require at least one strand of DNA or RNA. Simply put, the probability of such a complex molecule randomly coming together is nill. Even if by some freakish event such a spontaneous arrangement were accomplished, it would require the intricate protein/lipid structure of a cell to survive and reproduce.
To base an entire theory on such an enormously improbable event is ludicrous. Science follows laws of probability.

Quote# 8010

Contrary to popular belief, evolutionists don't have a corner on scientific objectivity. I've found through personal experience that when an evolutionist gets backed into the wall he relies on arrogant condescending rhetoric. From my observations, creationists are more prone to stick to the objective facts.

Quote# 8011

Now, the reason why I believe that an infinite God exists is because it is necessary logically. The world had to have had a beginning, as the Second Law of Thermodynamics says, and that fact demands that it have a Creator. If this Creator were less than infinite, He would have to have been created Himself, and so it would go on and on infinitely. But such an infinite regress is impossible with finite beings, so to avoid irrationality we must assume that there was an infinite Creator. [emphasis added]

[re: David Blaine]

You aren't getting mesmerized by him are you? He is VERY VERY EVIL!!!!! He is using spirits that are NOT of God to do the things he does! Be careful of what you are watching. When he went to Haiti he scared them and they are FULL of evil and witch craft there!

[re: "Friends" TV show]

Here's the proble, why not watch "Ellen" also? Thats right, because it IS backing AND promoting UNCHRISTIAN, ANTIBILICAL, ways of thinking. Why stop at "Ellen" let's start watching the MOST antibiblical show that's on T.V. right now, "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES"! The bible tells us to "TURN FROM SIN"! Not, "repent and watch what you would like on television".

Quote# 7995

I think a creationist with a good background in chemistry and geology could put together a good one to suggest a vehicle to change atmospheric oxygen and hydrogen into water, don’t you? A few experiments with oxygen, hydrogen, argon and carbon, etc. and I bet they could figure out why the carbon dating gives us all those erroneous ages, too.

Quote# 7996

I do agree with you that Science and religious beliefs can coexist... they have for a long time. I do have proofs of that myself, so I do believe you there. Just not that we came from a caveman or an ape. First man and woman were Adam and Eve. I dont think they resembled an ape.

Quote# 7997

Science is the discovery and unpacking of creation via various learned and academic methodologies. The IDer doesn't give a fuck about what anyone theorizes or says as long as ultimate credit is assigned to Him as the source.

Have you ever been plargiarized, or stolen from, or had a patent or copyright infringement ?

ToE has plagiarized the source of creation and assigned it to an incorporeal entity (chance) as explained by them its Prophets and Priests. IOW, you guys have set up yourselves as God and are paying the traditional price of plagiarism: expulsion. The IDer has expelled you - thats the reason why you deny His reality.

[Debating the Muslim Holiday USPS stamp]

Lyrics dad, after getting to know about you in another topic, I'm not surprised at all to see you agree with this slick little maneuver of getting people to lose their loyalty to America, and become a one worlder.

If you connect the dots, that's what you WILL get.

homosexual indoctrination being forced upon his kindergartener?

Quote# 7988

What I could never understand is the following:
If all of life originated from one cell, how could that animal become a plant or that plant become an animal? Evolution presupposes more impossibilities than creation, and unlike creationism there exists no supreme being capable of doing the impossible. In other words, evolution by any definition in the mind of any thinking person cannot possibly happen. The entire theory is based on science which cannot conform to the laws of science. It is circular reasoning in reverse; instead of arguments supported only by the arguments, it is science negated by the very science it uses as a base.

How these people can claim to bear rational argument is beyond me.

Quote# 7990

I said it before and i'll say it again. Evolution is nothing more than an atheology, the grand tale of creation without God. The billion year struggle of the survival of the species which resulted from a cosmic fart and culminating in man. It is the only way out that the atheists/socialist have, there is nothing else.

Quote# 7991

I see nothing whatever wrong with the literal translation of the first three chapters in Genesis. There is nothing inconsistent about it. It describes God doing things which are scientifically impossible, which He can do because He is God. Science pretends that the impossible can occur without the existence of God, which is negated by its own laws. Thus, Creationism has a basis in logic in that a supernatural entity is consistently supernatural. Science, on the issue of origination, has NO basis in logic, because it's interpetation of events is dependant on immutable laws being violated by natural means

Quote# 7992

I am hopeful that as the children of Creationists are removed from the mind numbing effects of evolutionary teaching, and into private and home schools, they will emerge as an army of Creationist scientists establishing and equipping their own labs and data gathering facilities and their field techs capable of “world wide travel.” Meanwhile, evolutionists are dumbing down their children with erroneous theories that bring despair and hopelessness to mankind, giving rise to drugs and violence. Sad. Who'd wanna be them?

Quote# 7982

I think God brought to pass the Dark Ages upon mankinds psyche because we were moving to fast (and apostate) just like we are moving to fast today (and apostate both as a people and a nation) but God wanted us 500 years short in our schooling of this world. Though we are moving way to fast now it is OK since we happen to be on God's schedule now -500 years progress instead of our own schedule so it is OK if our scientific and technological advances outstrip our social and cultural achievements even up to the point that social and cultural goals have gone literally abandond by those who humanly rule this world.

if an asteroid impacted the earth, and the asteroid were say, 10 billion years old, that would mean the earth would suddenly age from 4.5 billion to 10 billion.

Are not planets formed by interstellar dust coming together? Isn't the dust older than the formation?

Quote# 7986

The biblical account of creation doesn't contradict reality one bit. But evolution contradicts the way apes and humans breed, the survival of the fittest because apes are around today, and the process of animals and humans reproducing themselves.

I'm a writer for a national magazine. Following the popularity of "The Exocism of Emily Rose," we're looking for a teen (girl 0r boy) who has gone through a similiar experience. Either the teen was exorcised or was forced to go through a ceremony, but fought their parents or family because he/she didn't believe in it.

We want to tell your story in your own words. If you are this person or have any leads to this person, please contact me at [email address]. This is real and we are looking for teens who have actually had a priest perform an exorcism on him/her. It is not meant to offend. We are just looking to tell your story.

Quote# 7968

One year at an apartment complex a gal (this was a family to the best of my knowledge that was not involved in witchcraft or anything of the sort) had a witch's hat hanging on her door and it had fallen off and was torn. Well to be a good neigbor I took it inside my home to sew up a section so that it could hang back up on her door. My son and I were both looking at it to see where it needed to be mended when all of the sudden we dinstinctly heard a wailing sound in our house moving from us out towards our back yard and finally stopped. I stood there frozen looking at my son and he said with wide eyes, "Mom, did you hear that?"

My conclusion? I can't help but to think that there was spiritual entity involved with that witches hat, and it couldn't stand being around someone with the Holy Spirit.

Quote# 7969

Archealogy was invented as a tool and a weapon against those who belived in God but now that weapon also has given in to the Word of God and has failed because archealogy does more now to prove God than to disprove Him.

Archealogy was just fine as long as it was one sided because as long as it was one sided they could make it say or mean anything that they wished the evidence to say but now that those who honor God have been involved with archealogy for so long the Devil has taken a sore whipping as he will continue to fight a losing battle.

About dinosaur bones, the carbon and radioactive dating are dependant on many factors that we cannot prove and on top of that the results you see are actually only the 20% the scientists like. The other 80% of the results are discarded. The other dating methods they use is to date the bones by the layer of earth they are in, and yet they date the layer of earth by the bones found in it.

As a liberal the New Order shoudln't bother you. As a Christian they could silence us and not allow us to practice our faith. There are saying all religions are One. I believe in One religion and that is the bible. Nothing else will do, everything else is connected to itself and evoltuion. The bible stands alone, that is why many want to burn it!!!!
