Quote# 9145

[On why there was little progress in mathematics after Christianity came to power.]

There was little useful math left to be learned, mainly the stuff we learn in Calculus. Interesting methods and formulas, but nothing practical. There were a few that were discovered to be useful to most people.

Quote# 9147

Once same-sex marriage is generally adopted, polygamy is right around the corner. You can also expect lowering of the age of consent to about 13 - liberals want to have sex with children too.

Quote# 9148

I don't need to look for evidence beyond faith. It is the evidence that establishes my faith. Faith is the belief in the facts. You have sat in chairs and have come to have faith that if you sit in a chair it will support you. If you had some bad experience with chairs you might not have faith in chairs.

You can't help someone who won't help themselves. God Bless america for helping Iraq when they didn't want to be helped.

Quote# 9129

We all know that women are inferior. Their main purpose on earth is to care and nurture their husband and children. To be a good parent and wife.It's ungodly for women to be taking up other responcibilities.

I wonder how it feels to live in a world without faith, not being able to count on anything or anybody. I wonder if it is depressing.

Quote# 9133

I agree with you though, if the OP wants to help her daughter [a lesbian] fight off this demon then she should not be slow to beat her if she commits sexual sins (which can include fantasizing, not just 'doing things') relating to this perversion.
My sister used to be addicted to self abuse and our father basically beat her every time she did it, or even thought about doing it. She had a horrible life for about 3 months but is so grateful to him now .

I appreciate your recommendation, and it is intriguing, but as a pro-lifer, I cannot support an organization that is opposed to the death penalty.

Quote# 9118

[Another fundy proving every religion ever]

If Creation/ID and the Bible was so weak and had no truth at all, then it would be dismissed easy by all and especially by all scientists, Christian, Muslim and the like also, because truth is truth and the truth stands alone. This is why it has not been dismissed. If the Bible and the Claim of Creation is such a fable, then it should have no one to believe in it, but it does and it has more plaussibility than Evolution.

Quote# 9120

['Logically derived from confirmable evidence, evolution is understood to be the result of an unguided, unplanned process of random variation and natural selection.' - Definition of evolution signed off on by 38 Nobel laureates]

As all of us who don’t cling to strawman versions of ID know, the only bone we have to pick with that definition is the unguided, unplanned part. We are of the position that evolution, in part or in whole, was a guided or planned process.

So how does one go about falsifying unguided evolution? By demonstrating that the process was guided, of course.

ID is the means by which this theory of unguided evolution can be falsified. If ID cannot be falsified and is itself just religion disguised as science [it's about time they admit that!], where does that leave unguided evolution? Why it leaves unguided evolution as unfalsifiable pseudo-science.

[In a thread about the Vatican denouncing "Intelligent" Design]

Wow, that's great for Catholics, but I'm a Christian and I could care less what the Catholic Church thinks.

['you idiot... Catholics are christians. They were the first christian church. If you were a christian before the Reformation...you were a catholic.']

Not in my book. I really don't care what you believe. I don't listen to the Catholic Church and neither does my whole denomination of the Foursquare. I don't, my Pastor doesn't and the head of the Foursquare Church doesn't. We follow Jesus not the pope or his church.

Thanks for playing, I'm sorry you are wrong.

[After making a bigoted comment about how atheists lack humility, and being told that it's not very humble to pretend to know the thoughts of all atheists.]

Well I dont know all of that, so that is why I used the word mostly, because for most of the athiests, what I said is true.

[Most Christians are Nazis. Prove me wrong.]

hmm, I dont salute hitler and I am not a communist. My word is all the you can get unless you want to come and see my lifestyle to know.

[Apparently disproving the existence of mudskippers]

a fish can not become a land-animal...can not become a reptile...why?
it should have lungs instead of gills; and the evolution must be completed in a few minutes for the creature to stay alive. other wise it will die. but it is said that evolution happens in steps so it takes long long time... but as I said this is impossible for a fish to wait for its lungs to be formed...this is just one of the prooves that why can not life begin in water then go on on land...only one of the anwsers...

Quote# 9106

I don't really care anymore. This group is tainted and spiritually dead. The Atheists run the show in here and the mockery of Jesus is abound and out of control.

No wonder they win most of the time. They keep up with learning, they keep up with knowing how to argue and they know their stuff, unlike most Christians. Then when brother in Christ tries to defend Christ and the Atheists attack him or her, no other Christians comes to aid the other. And then people like you are there to point fingers at the ones who may have lost control and condemn them.

This is why these groups suck.

Quote# 9107

evolution is still a hypothesis not a proven theory, and the world tells us that creation is a theory..... so you know why they want not to teach creation.....the same reason they want to believe the devinci code, the same reason the worlds on a collision course with desarster........ THEY DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT GOD, or believe in Him or his plan

[Arguing that we'll develop the science fiction technology from the 1999 movie <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Wild_West" target="_blank">Wild Wild West</a>, in which killers are identified by whatever the last image "burned" into the victim's retinas happened to be at the time of death]

Remember The Wild Wild West with the dead retina scan? Something along those lines, and more, are coming our way, so that murderers can run, but they can never hide for long.

Watch, and see how victims' eyes are gouged out in the coming times?

No, but they are other examples of sexual feelings directed at inanimate or bizzarre objects.

Quote# 9114

If you mean there's a genetic variation between African Elephants and Asian Elephants, yes they each have unique DNA. But all the African Elephants in the herd have the same genetic makeup which is why they look identical to each other, as do the Asians making them different to Africans but similar to each other.

The same rule applies for lemurs, turtles of the same species, Tigers, antelope, Zebras, Giraffes and all other animals on Earth. But answer me this, why does ONLY MAN have unique DNA and Genetic coding within each individual on Earth with no 2 matching each other at all ? How does that discrepancy fit into the unflinching science of Evolution.

And before you cop out by saying how i don't understand science, explain why all animals of the same species look identical to each other, except man of course.

I choose not to debate with a weak minded blind person, that has to argue with Ad Hominems and personal attacks.

That's what most people don't understand, that sex is a way of saying 'i love you and i offer my all to you'. But by using birth control you're saying 'Yeah, I love you, but not enough to have children with you and I don't want you to have all of me because sure i love you, but I lust for you more."

I don't believe that global warming is happening. I don't believe that humans can destroy a globe that they didn't create.

Besides, after the entire history of the universe (only 6K years), how much damage could we have done?

Why do the planets not all rotate in the same direction. Why do they not orbit in the same direction. If there was a big bang center of origen it would be impossible to have different rotations and orbits as is the case.
