"Longer growing seasons have caused genetic changes in a wide range of animals in the past few decades, biologists announced today.

As the spring reproductive season arrives earlier and lasts longer in northern latitudes, a fact owing to climate change, animals that can adapt their schedules stand a better chance of seeing their genetic information passed on to later generations, leading to a change in gene frequencies within populations."

Gee, sounds to me like this is based on reproducible scientific exploration. I wonder what the creation scientists have to say about it?

Everything we do is perversed as far as the bible is concerned. It doesn't take a genius to realize it. Just look at the ten commandments. Thou shall not kill, so then the police, the army, and everyone who has ever fed their families steak, are damned. Thou shall not be perverted, but electricity and everything including milk is perverted. We're drinking out of a cow's breast at the very least of which is perversed. Hell the bible itself is perversed, don't do this...only I can do it, and you cannot judge me, because I am God. God can judge us, God can kill us, God can break all of his rules, but when we do it we're imperfect. Seems to me like God is insane, and we are his exact clone over and over again. Remember, we're all God-like. The reason none of us have any power over the rest of us, is because we're all gods. The scary thought is we all could be Satan. Wow, huh. Cool. Not cool. Or both, or None. LOL.

It is HIGHLY unusual to find Christians backing any sort of expansion on what people are free to do.
They are anti-liberty. They want to stop Americans from choices involving sex, religion etc.
They are against secularism. They want prayer in public places, forcing non christians to their faith.They're anti-feminism.The fact that men’s roles are more powerful and public is something women are supposed to simply deal with because that’s God’s will.
Christians are anti-Plurism. They feel that their beliefs are right, but are the ONLY beliefs that should be accepts. Muslims, Jews, Hindus and all others are not neccessary! They distract people from God!
CHRISTIAN ARE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC:
Christians often opposes, principles of equality and neutrality which democracy requires — for example, giving equal time to non-Christians and not treating Christianity as if it were a favored religion and political ideology.

So why all of the control of others?

The Christian Right displays a consistent and almost unwavering opposition to modern science, because it contradicts their religious ideology.This reveals their preference for ideology over facts, reality, and reason.
Secular institutions are free from control or domination by religious institutions, They believe that an only institutions founded on religious values — preferably their own — can do any good in society.
Traditional religion accords both men and women limited and restricted social roles based upon their gender. The fact that men’s roles are more powerful and public is something women are supposed to simply deal with because that’s God’s will.
Diversity is not a strength for the Christian Right, it is a weakness that distracts people from following God.
Christian Right defends policies which appear to have no other purpose than to punish extramarital sex.
Even the Christian Right’s opposition to abortion appears to have more to do with punishing sex than with preserving life.

I don't think that it does, at least in the fire and brimstone, burning for eternity sense. I don't believe that God is spiteful, vengeful, or jealous. I think he or she is a loving, all forgiving God that would never make any of his children suffer in such a way. What do you think?

Can't find the link, but basically it tells you what level of hell you're gonna end up in. For some reason it keeps telling me I'm gonna end up in Limbo. Apparently I'm a virtuous pagan, like Virgil. I guess I'm too nice to just be labelled a heretic^_^
