Creationists misappropriate scientific terms and concepts (e.g. ‘proof’ and ‘theory’), redefine them so that they are no longer ‘scientific’, and then use the corrupted definitions to ‘prove’ the ‘scientific’ truth of their faith-based beliefs.

If they really are as secure in their faith as they claim – why do they lie and cheat trying to justify it?

-------------------------------------

And don’t any of you anti-evolutionist types claim that you know more about the scientific method than I do unless you have a graduate degree in a science (or science related) discipline (from a real university) and have published in major peer reviewed scientific journals.

I’ll open with a couple of my own: ‘Global Change Biology’ and the ‘ International Journal of Climatology’.

My work is associated with east African countries, mostly Kenya and Ethiopia.
I just got back from Ethiopia with the weirdest encounter of my life, which changed my previous sympathy for the country.
It all started with me and my co-worker as we visited the Lake Tana that’s the origin of Nile River in Ethiopia. There on the lake were these poor Ethiopians trying to fish while we sow one man dropping bunch of fishes, crabs, shrimps and lobsters, etc..back to the lake, I asked him why he was doing that, he looked at me with surprise and asked with broken English what else he could do with them. I told him why couldn’t he eat them or give them to other people, he shouted out, how people could eat such things and left immediately. We were both so surprise, imagine how shrimps and crabs can’t be eaten and the weird part is, they are Ethiopians always suffering with hunger and famine.
After we encounter this we tried to show to the local people how to eat, shrimps, crabs and different kinds of fish as they only eat one type of fish , we cooked and tried to give them to taste, some of them were actually vomiting for just watching us eat and none of them dare to try, my friend was laughing at their stupidity but I was actually offended and the worst part is not just sea foods that they don’t know how to eat, we found out there are many types vegetables that they don’t know how to eat specially mushroom they call it “ umbrella of hyena” and children play with is everywhere on the street , but no one use them as food, my general encounter is that poverty is both mental and physical in Ethiopia and they are the poorest and the most proudest people I have ever seen.
Can you imagine, they think eating pork is disobeying God?
Anyway Kenya is relatively better, actually they are growing economically better than Ethiopians, and they know mushrooms, sea foods and pork are for food. My friend and I now working on project to teach Ethiopians what to eat hopefully we can get somewhere, anyone who read this can give me idea to include in the project

Before 1954:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

After 1954:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

While _which_ god isn't exactly specified I think it is clear that it's the christian god. Not Zoltar, Zeus, Vishnu, or anybody else.

Now what will you do with all the people who adhere to differing belief systems in your country? Will you convert them all to Christianity?

Since they made up the stories about him by illegaly taking points the copyrighted works about Horus, Dionysus, and Mithras it helps people to criticize the trustworthiness of the bible. Why couldn't they have your used their own imaginations for making tales about Jesus?

If you do not know about the Horus, Dionysus and Mithras theory you can have it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_as_myth

I don't understand what the problem is with them. What about the pro choice people, why not pro choice on education?

The Bible teaches us to observe the laws unless they conflict with God's word. Now Rev. Greene (and others?) are defying this law, declaring it to be "necessary" in the saving of souls. People will be eternally damned if they can't watch the game in church? Sure. But there's a double standard here, because Christian media companies won't even let you sing their songs in church without purchasing a license. "No, brother, you can't sing that praise song to the Lord in here because we don't have a license. Let's go in the fellowship hall and illegaly watch the game instead." By the way, I am a Christian and I'm not attacking Christianity.
