So...now you must all agree with me else recognise that your own reasoning is faulty.

There is an invisible energy that erupts into everything...(much more acceptable to science than its own view)...and, from it, virgin, naked, stem-cells came to Earth...So many that as soon as the planet became a viable proposition for them they began simple interactions with each other and a plethora of life was spawned.

Stem-cells are never unaccompanied and whether it is their 'Sunday best' tadpole outfit or their spirally twining, dna juggling, wear, they continue their work for evermore. It is where they are doing their replicating that is important. It could be within our own structure...it could be within a new life form or it could be just so much waste to us and, by way of food...become a replicating structure within the insects that are plaguing you or another type of organism that relies on scavenging its own stem-cells from wasted sources.

As far as I can see, Jesus Christ was showing us how far-reaching these electric fields, highlighted here through our stem-cell behaviours, really are. They can turn water into wine...cure blindness and leprosy and can resurrect those who take Jesus Christ seriously...but we have got to develop those sciences first.

[He’s welcome to spout his anti-gay bigotry all he likes…..he and other artists [...] are beginning to find that this has consequences. If they feel the pinch as a result, they’ll get no pity from me.]

I hereby to apply to you the same rules you apply to Mr Card: you have spoken your slanders against me and mine, and you should “find this has consequences” and be blackballed. You are banned.

Had you spared any pity for him, I would have had pity for you.

It is not in my self interest to help you spread your venom against me, by lending you a public forum to advocate that thought police should punish science fiction writers for questioning conformity, and it is beyond the bounds of reason that you should presume on my good nature to think I should.

What makes you think you have the right to be patiently heard, when you are advocating denying that right to other men, men by any measure better than you? Better than you, indeed, by your own admission.

For what is the political correctness you support? It is a cult. What do you worship in this cult?

You worship your phallus.

You support the sexual deviants because you correctly see that any hindrance, even so much as a polite word in opposition, to the prodigious indulgence of sexual vice which forms the backbone of your — I cannot call it a philosophy — your phallus cult would show your own vices in a true light.

Not even nature, not even reality, can be allowed to form a barrier to your almighty phallus that you bow and serve and any cruel or vile or unnatural impulse you seek to indulge, or see others indulge. Your only enemy is temperance.

You correctly see that if men stuffing their members into the smelly rectums of other men is even so much as frowned upon, that your own member-stuffing into whatever harlots or trollops you seek to conquer and exploit would be condemned.

Your enemy is chastity, virginity, romance, beauty.

But you dare not admit this.

And so you lie, and so you take up the banner of intolerance, injustice, indecency, with the zeal of the witch-hunter. In this case, the witches are not accused of selling their souls to the devil, but failing to do so.

You think you will never pay for your lies and hypocrisies to that Power which gave you power of speech. You are sadly mistaken.

To be sure, “marriage equality” already exists. It is, quite simply, the self-evident truth that both husband and wife are co-equal, indispensable partners essential to the formulation of a marriage covenant. While moral relativists clamor for their propagandist version of “marriage equality,” the rest of us live in marriage reality.

Every single mentally competent adult enjoys the right to marry within exactly the same parameters required by natural law. Thus, “equal protection under the law” is afforded to all. As long as your spouse-to-be is 1) not too closely related, 2) of legal age, 3) only one person, 4) of the opposite sex and 5) a biped of the genus homo-sapien – then you’re golden. Marry away.

If you remove one requirement – in this case, the binary male-female prerequisite – then there is no justification, logical or legal, for not removing all requirements. If we yank one foundational brick from the marriage wall, then, as in the days of Jericho, the whole danged thing comes a-tumblin’. That is to say, if the Supreme Court rolls out “gay marriage,” then legalized polygamy, incestuous marriage and heaven-knows-what-else must inevitably follow.

One of the most ridiculous and persistent false claims made by armchair nutritionists, meatarian propagandists, and even academics, who really should know better, is that the human species is an "omnivore"; that is, it should eat both plant and animal matter.

In general, this error is based on the accidental, or perhaps intentional, confusing of the verbs "to be" and "to do". If the human "is" a natural omnivore, then we should have ALL the physical and biochemical equipment that is NECESSARY to run down, kill with our bare hands, tear asunder, eat, and properly digest, RAW animal prey, just as ALL natural omnivores, or carnivores, do. Just looking at our bodies will conclusively prove that we do not have the claws or talons necessary to catch and hold animal prey, and we do not have the sharp, shearing teeth necessary to tear, not chew, animal flesh. We are not fast enough to outrun and catch animals. Natural omnivores or carnivores do NOT chew their eaten flesh, they tear it into chunks and swallow them whole. We do not have the "constant tendency for the last upper premolar and the first lower molar to engage and form long longitudinal opposed shearing blades (the carnassials)", which are a common characteristic of natural carnivores and omnivores.

No human cultural-carnivore kills its animal prey with his/her natural equipment, nor do they eat their animal prey raw. I have challenged countless meatarians to do so in the past 30 years, and NONE have shown the courage of their conceptual convictions and done so. Why? Simply because we are NOT an "omnivore". In fact, we have strong anti-killing instincts. Try to kill an animal with your bare hands to demonstrate this.

Any second-grader could differentiate between the verbs "be" and "do", yet this important distinction is totally ignored by cultural carnivores, and even academics with PhD's, who foolishly claim that because humans have been DOing cultural-carnivorism for a long time, that somehow (never explained) magically, we ARE "omnivores". They want to believe that DOing modifies BEing. They fail to understand the profound difference between Nature, and inviolable Natural Laws, and silly, self-destructive local cultural customs. By their absurd and faulty logic: because some humans DO murder, and because murder has existed throughout human history, ALL humans ARE born murderers.

If one wanted to produce a logical test to see if the human was a natural omnivore, the procedure would be:
1> produce a detailed physiological and biochemical inventory of all animal species that are natural omnivores,
2> list the commonalties among them,
3> test this list against natural omnivores and other species to determine its discriminative abilities; i.e. test the test, and finally, and only if the test has been verified to be accurate and correct,
4> see if the human parameters fit this test or not.

Of course, this quite obvious test mechanism has not been established, and any unsupported references to human "omnivores", regardless of the source, are confirmations that only cultural whims are being reported, certainly NOT the imperative physiological and biochemical attributes.

Televangelist Pat Robertson on Monday explained to his viewers that “sophisticated” Americans received less miracles because they had learned “things that says God isn’t real” like evolution.

On Monday’s episode of CBN’s The 700 Club, Robertson responded to a viewer who wanted to know why “amazing miracles (people raised from the dead, blind eyes open, lame people walking) happen with great frequency in places like Africa, and not here in the USA?”

“People overseas didn’t go to Ivy League schools,” the TV preacher laughed. “We’re so sophisticated, we think we’ve got everything figured out. We know about evolution, we know about Darwin, we know about all these things that says God isn’t real.”

“We have been inundated with skepticism and secularism,” he continued. “And overseas, they’re simple, humble. You tell ‘em God loves ‘em and they say, ‘Okay, he loves me.’ You say God will do miracles and they say, ‘Okay, we believe him.’”

For me, one of the biggest proofs that random evolution is imposible as an explanation for life is the fact that all but the simplest of life forms require both a male and a female in order to reproduce.

In order for that arrangement to come about by random chance, you would have to have both a fully funtional male and a fully funtional female develop independantly of each other within the same population within a single generation. And despite developing independantly of one another, their reproductive systems would have to be 100% compatible with each other.

The amount of blind faith needed to believe that such a complex system could arise by pure chance staggers the mind.

On the other hand, special creation by God, as described in the Bible, has no problem explaining such things.

Menstruation: a linguistic and biological fairy tale.

Men-stru-ation:
a fantasy concocted by men, a conceptual structure from their imagination.

It has been long reported that humani females when transitioning from a Standard Amerikan animal-centric Diet (SAD), through the trajectory: SAD. cooked-glop vegetarian, vegan, raw vegan, uniformly experience reduction and eventually complete cessation of all the unpleasant manifestations of "The Curse": "cramping", bloating, bloody discharge, pain, tactile sensitivity, offensive odors, lack of energy, headaches, general non-specific bitchiness, ...

It is important to understand that all "disease", illness, "symptoms", physical discomfort, etc. is caused by the human poisoning itself with a cultural diet. Local dietary practices are passed on down through generations, from parent to child by psychological conditioning. The child has no decision-making responsibility in this 'weaning' process, and table-side strife, threats, and punishment are frequent dramas resulting from the stressful nature of dietary acculturation by parents forcing their faulty dietary habits onto innocent, defensiveless children.

Nature does not create discomfort or pain; human ignorance does. The above mentioned unpleasantness is simply the result of cleansing efforts of the body initiated after the brief fertile time has passed. Several toxic amine compounds with instinctually-unpleasant odors may be present, including those in human meat-eaters' feces, or decaying corpses.

> ... and colleagues discovered that men find odors during the follicular phase the most attractive and least intense. On the other hand, the highest intensity smells, corresponding to the lowest attractiveness for men, were found during the time of menstrual bleeding."
This supports the concept that menstrual discharge is a cleansing process, and the excretions are metabolic wastes.

"Wait", you say, "everyone has these symptoms, so they must be 'natural'". Everyone gets "colds/flus" too, so they must be "natural". They are not and may be simply eliminated permanently by dietary change. Raw vegans do not get "colds/flus" or discomfort during their fertility cycle.

This ignorance comes from two factors: the great majority of people eat a highly toxic local cultural diet and most medical personnel are males, or taught by males, so are not particularly interested in solving "female problems". IF male doctors had the same symptoms as females do monthly, including a bloody, smelly discharge through their penises, don't you think they would enthusiastically research the issue and solve it? Being a "womans' problem", no one is interested, even the female MD's and scientists.

Humans are frugivorous apes, with a genetic distance from the chimps, our closest genetic cousin, of a mere 1.6%. Chimps, the other apes, and animals, in general do not 'menstruate'. They may manifest estrus, but that event is out-of-phase with 'menstruation'. That is, estrus occurs before the fertility window and 'menstruation', manifest only in the human, occurs after the fertility window. More important, estrus presents no discomfort to the animal, while human 'menstruation' is accompanied with a plethora of unpleasant manifestations, listed above.

Quote# 93559

Notice, there is NO useful, meaningful, or even vaguely-scientific anatomical/physiological/biochemical definition of "omnivore", and JM foolishly ignores the inescapable fact that humans are totally incapable of killing, tearing asunder, and consuming raw their prey with their natural, biological equipment, as ALL natural omnivores do! In fact, I have challenged people who adamantly claim that they are "omnivores" for over 35 years to prove they are natural "omnivores" by simply killing and eating raw a small animal with their natural equipment, and none has ever done so to actually test their irrational belief. Not one!
JM has made the all-to-common and fatal error in his totally unscientific and unsupportable claims by confusing Nature and culture; a grievous error which most grade school children would not make. Humans are clearly not natural "omnivores". Some are cultural "omnivores", and indeed must rely on cultural artifacts to raise, kill, butcher, cook, disguise with seasonings, cut up, and finally consume their animal prey. Again, the false definition rests on the phrase "capable of consuming"; however, humans have no natural capability to do so. If they did, they would. Thus, relying on an absurd false definition, JM inevitably and inescapably comes to a false conclusion.
Another insight into the falsity of this concept rests in the mistaken confusion, and proposed false-identity, of the verbs: to be, and to do. Being refers to our genetic code and its consequences, while doing is totally unrelated and a consequence of cultural programming.
Let's examine JM's muddled "thinking" a bit to see how completely absurd, and perhaps intentionally-misleading, the "capable" definition really is.
Humans are "capable" of flying through the air; that makes us birds or flying insects, right?
Humans are "capable" of traveling under water; that makes us fish or sea worms, right?
Humans are "capable" of tunneling through the earth; that makes us earthworms or moles, right?

Right Wing Watch reports the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Fred Luter, is blaming North Korea leader Kim Jong-un’s recent threat to attack America on debates over marriage equality and lifting the ban on gays in the Boy Scouts of America.

“I would not be surprised that at the time when we are debating same-sex marriage, at a time when we are debating whether or not we should have gays leading the Boy Scout movement, I don’t think it’s just a coincidence that we have a mad man in Asia who is saying some of the things that he’s saying,” Luter told radio host Rick Wiles.

Luter, who became the first African-American head of the Southern Baptist Convention last year, was responding to Willes’ suggestion that Jong-un’s threat was a punishment from God due to “our slide into Immorality.”

“You know at precisely the same time the Supreme Court is hearing these arguments on same-sex marriage in Asia a crazy man in possession of nuclear weapons, Kim Jong-un, is openly saying: I have ordered our military to position our rockets on US targets in Hawaii, Japan, Guam and the mainland of the United States,” Willes said. “He has gone into a full state of war this week. I don’t know, Pastor Luter, I don’t know if anybody is — I know they’re not — they’re just not putting this together. You got this happening over here and you got this happening over here: could the two be connected? Could our slide into immorality be what is unleashing this mad man over here in Asia to punish us?”

I just got off of Rachel Maddows Facebook page. It's full of fools who can't seem to get enough of the kool-aid. I think about half of them have the pink equal signs. I posted the gospel on three different places. I pray that someone believes and turns to Jesus.

My spirit is extremely unsettled right now. First, it was so sad to see the different comments. These people are running headlong into the lake of fire and they don't care! Second, there was an evil presence there. I could feel evil in every corner of that page if that makes any sense. How wonderful it is to be able to come here to get my peace back.

Pray for these people. The delusion they follow is strong. They surround themselves with so much darkness they don't want to see any light. A niece on my DH's side of the family posted the link on her Facebook page this morning. She also is blind, without hope and doesn't understand. Please pray for her too, her name is Kellie. God help these people to see the extreme danger they're in, so many of them are inches away from eternal condemnation.

This is the pathetic state of "science" today. Evolution, other than intraspecies accommodation, is unproven, and far less likely than intelligent design from a purely logical point of view. Science is supposed to be empirical and unbiased, but evolution depends absolutely on atheistic materialism, and will not allow anything contrary to that view, because to do so would make their entire house of cards tumble to the floor. Global warming is the same. Many scientists call the elaborate schemes proposed by evolutionists a series of "evolutionary Just So Stories:, and they are indeed that. While the earth indeed warms and cools, we do not know over what timeframe that occurs, what causes it, whether man's activities have any effect, or even if that change would or would not be beneficial. Yet you cannot even speak to a university group, much less occupy a faculty position, unless you subscribe to the liberal dogma. Even if science were the answer to all our problems, the one-sided pseudo-religion that passes for it will get us nowhere in our search for truth.

Demons are dangerous, and they suck life force energy. Sometimes they're invisible, and sometimes they manifest in human or other form. Sometimes they cross over into the human realm as vampires, while sometimes they just haunt us in our dreams.

Nightmares are filled with demons and other bad energies. Daytime demons are more subtle, and are sometimes nothing more than the guy who overcharges you for mechanical work or the person who changes a twenty dollar bill for a five.

Teens are often visited by demons in disguise because demons love to feed on teens' hormonal angst. They work on the weak, and in some myths, they capture and carry souls to Satan. In fables they present themselves as sweet fairy godmothers or little old ladies with candy. They infect the pedophile and serial killer and prey on the mentally unstable.

My understanding may be simple in some cases. It's been over 20 years since I had college astronomy, and I only had the one course in that field. I don't remember Cepheid stars being discussed. But I will admit it sounds logical. It's still based on assumptions that we know how light acts over long distances and thus difference in magnitude is an adequate surogate for distance.

The problem here is not the long distances. It's the assumption that long distances prove that God didn't make the heavens and the earth, in a 7 day period like He claimed.

The very first lesson on deception in scripture was that of Eve in the Garden. Satan flat out contradicted God and told her that she wouldn't die, followed by a lot of things that were true. Instead of focusing on the contradiction, Eve focused on the things that Satan had told her that were true and it made the lie palatable.

The long distances evolutionists point out are probably reasonably accurate, the constancy of the speed of light may be true too. However, they do not negate what God said about His making the universe when He said He did. There is an explanation for why things appear as they do. I'll look for the flaws in your observations and logic where I can find them. But at the end of the day, I'm going to believe God.

That's different than Morton's demon. I don't filter the evidence. But the evidence and man's understanding of what he sees is not strong enough to negate what God said.

Morton's problem wasn't the filter. It was that he had no absolute truth to measure by. Thus when Morton finally bypassed the filter and saw observations that at first glance contradicted his world view, he changed his world view. Convenient, yes, but he has no firm foundation. He'll be blown about by every change in the wind. He doesn't know who he is or where he came from. Is he Neanderthal's child?, or Cro Magmon's? or Lucy's? or trunkmoney's? He's got no clue. He's counted his Creator a liar based on things he doesn't fully understand.

I, on the otherhand, know the Creator of the Universe. If He says His written word is true, and His written word appears to say the earth is young, then my money is on a young earth. There's always the possibility I misunderstood something. But just because light as we understand it would take millions of years to get from where we understand the stars to be, using the physical laws as we understand them, does not in any way convince me that we fully understand the how and why and timing of God's creation.

The very first lesson on deception in scripture was that of Eve in the Garden. Satan flat out contradicted God and told her that she wouldn't die, followed by a lot of things that were true. Instead of focusing on the contradiction, Eve focused on the things that Satan had told her that were true and it made the lie palatable.

I think you should let them in on the fact that there are very few true Christians in the world. Those they look at as "Christians" follow their own made up god and they follow the flesh(hence affairs and divorces) so one should not base their judgements on what they see in these people because they are the same as the ones asking the questions. So stir them towards the ones that actually obey the Word of God. And also tell them that even tho we are saved by grace we will sin. But those who are truly saved are not alright with that and repent quickly.

We, the men of America, are still here in spite of forty years of gender warfare against us. We are still here because God designed us to be men, placed us in this land, and expects us to lead. We are here because America needs us. We are here because our communities need us. We are here because women and children need us. We know that we are needed, in spite of the foolish popular denial of that rather obvious fact.

At the moment, some women and some weak men may not like it when we behave as men. But we shall conduct ourselves as men because women, children, and weak men need us to do so. They need to know that we are here, we are not deserting our posts, we are not running away, and we are not abdicating our responsibilities.

[...]

As men, God has given us the burden of leadership. The burden of leadership has nothing to do with self-assertion and has everything to with self-denial. It has nothing to do with the struggle for power, glory, and wealth. Lesser men abandon the burden of leadership when they forget their honor and duty in the struggle for gain and for status.

[...]

"And unto Adam he (God) said, '...Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life: Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee: and thou shalt eat in the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return to the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return.'" (Genesis 3: 17–19)

In this passage, God declares a curse upon fallen men and not upon women. The curses on women are different. The curse on men pertains to work. Contrary to the claptrap about work being a source of "self-actualization," God has made work necessary for survival and something of an ordeal. Whatever kind of work one does, there are "thorns, thistles, and sweat" involved in doing it. Work is not fun or play as some would have us believe. It is a curse, but is also blessing in disguise.

[...]

A woman is not commanded to work, vocationally, but she has permission to do so. She suffers no evil consequences if her husband is a good provider and she decides to stay home. However, if she chooses to work, she must suffer the same thorns and thistles in the fields of work as a man does. Unfortunately, the woman does not have the tough hide of a man. She suffers more than a man does as she sweats in the field and the thorns and thistles injure her, speaking figuratively.

Gals, forget about finding "self-actualization" in the work world. You may go there if you like, but you will be bruised by the experience. Yes, you will gradually develop tougher skin at work, but something soft, sweet, and lovely about you might be diminished. If your husband wishes to be your provider, it might be a good idea not to fight it. It might be a good for him as a man and good for you as a woman. It might be very good for your children to have you at home.

[Randy tells how he got a billboard he found offensive taken down]

A Lamar office in nearby Columbus, MS, placed an adult business billboard in my Tupelo, MS, hometown. I called the Columbus office and learned that Scott Smith (not his real name) was the salesman. In several phone conversations, Mr. Smith would not agree to remove the billboard. After two months of trying, I looked up his home address, created a flyer, recruited a few friends and put a plan into action.

I sent a fax, similar to this one, to Mr. Smith's office on Friday, just before noon. Accompanying the fax was this custom-made flyer.

[Flyer shows a picture of the billboard in question, advertising a strip club, and gives the home address of the salesman]

Needless to say, by the time I returned from lunch, I had a voice mail from Mr. Smith! Evidently, he didn't like the idea of his work decisions bringing embarrassment to his wife and family.

When I returned his call, Mr. Smith told me the work crew were on their way to remove the billboard that very hour! In addition, Mr. Smith said the billboard would not be replaced within 20 miles of Tupelo if I promised to cancel my appearance in his neighborhood. I told him it was a deal, but if someone in another town asked me how I did it, I'd share my resources with them.

I hurried across town, wanting to get some pictures of the crew at work. By the time I arrived, the crew was already gone and the billboard had been changed to a legitimate business advertisement.

I think the case could be made, though I’m not sure I’ve made it on this program, that the sexualization of our children in public schools through the radical homosexual movement is really just a cousin to softening children up with sexual information way before they’re ready for it in order to prepare them for sexual activity, for predators. That’s what I think is happening in our public schools.

It took a House and Senate override to do it, but Kentucky can finally celebrate the enactment of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The bill, whose sponsor was a state Democrat, cruised to the simple majority it needed to overturn Governor Steve Beshear's veto. Under the law, men and women of faith can no longer be threatened for acting out their conscience on issues of moral principle. In the end, Gov. Beshear, who was under intense pressure from the Left, caved to the false argument that Christians would use the law to somehow discriminate against homosexuals.

In fact, the exact opposite is true! This law was necessary--not because homosexuals were vulnerable to harassment--but because Christians are. As we've seen in small businesses and faith-based groups across the country, the Left's totalitarian tactics continue to trump Americans' First Amendment rights. Everyone from wedding cake bakers to high school teachers should be free to express their beliefs without fear of retribution.

Three Reasons Why The Bible Is True And Christianity Isn't Just Made Up

Reason #3 - The Sun Burns, But There Isn't Any Oxygen in Space?

Let's take a moment to appreciate our devoted scientists.

Scientists have proven that the sun burns.
Scientists have proven things need two things to burn: Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen.
Scientists have proven there is no Oxygen in Space.

Then why does the sun burn. The sun burns because God put it there, God created it and it has a special job: to keep us warm and give us hope.
