Question Details: irish_trout's offered this question as a challenge: This is an argument against creationism, please offer a rebuttal? (a simple search will give you the full Q). I passed on to him a challenge to prove evolution AND A CHANCE TO WIN $250,000, offered at this reference: www.drdino.com/cse.asp?pg=250k... He not only turned this opportunity down, he further embarrassed himself by claiming THIS CHALLENGE to be a violation. (I think his challenge was also second hand, though he didn't name the source) My response to Yahoo!Answers for violation: Pure BS. Review it. It's obvious.

Does anyone know the fasting practices of traditional/conservative Christians for Lent? What do Christian theologians offer by way of advice for those hoping to fully participate during this time before Easter? Are there differences based upon denomination?

to grow food or flowers?
I know they can use rudimentary tools. But have they ever passed that knowledge down to their offspring?

Wouldn't we at least look more like apes if we have a common ancestor?

Or are you selective? God wants us to forgive ALL who trespass against us, or make us unhappy in any way shape or form. THIS IS DIFFICULT! How, exactly can one achieve utter and total forgiveness and not feel like a sap afterwards? A pushover? I did it once and it HONESTLY WORKED! But the forgiveness left! Maybe a few extra prayers will bring it back. Thanks. God Bless.

I noticed on here, alot of times people will ask serious questions about God, and some people just insult Christians, and make statements like "God doesnt exist" "that just proves Christianity and insanity go hand in hand" and such. Not one can prove God doesnt exist. And no one can convince me that Jesus Christ is not the savior. Trust me. People have tried. Christ has saved me from many things, And I stand today a new man from who I once was. No one can deny the change. I just wonder though, why are some Atheists so hateful? (Not ALL, I have met some really nice people who were atheist)

Since the publication of "God the Cosmological Constant" things have been happening. James Cameron is among the many that will make it clear that there is a separation between God and Religion. God was before man and before the Earth came to be. Religion is an invention of man and therefore not of the true God.

I want you to find an enticing picture of someone of the same gender. It needn't be lustful or graphic, just someone attractive of your gender.

For five minutes, I want you to make the CHOICE to desire them, to sincerely want to feel them against you, to hold you in their arms and kiss them. Again, you don't have to get lewd or go to the point of sin -- the important idea is choose to be in a state where you would romantically date this person.

Come back and tell us how it goes. Were you able to make that choice? Could you genuinely choose to desire someone of the same gender, even for just five minutes?

If someone really studies the big bang theory, spontaneous life formation, and evolution, there are clearly MANY issues that contradict one another and others that are just implausible. If they are men and women of science, as they claim, why can't they even fully understand the theories that they so readily spout off? And why can't they immediately come up with complete, scientific answers to all the inquisitions about their scientific facts? If they tell me that I am related to a woodchuck, isn't the burden of proof on them to prove this beyond any scientific doubt? When are they going to do that? And how can such people of science claim they left a cult of religion because of its contradictions and falsehoods, then move into a cult that reads comic books about science fiction experiments done in the 50s which are largely discredited now? How can an atheist claim to be searching for the truth, yet clearly support a belief full of contradictions and lies

I did not choose to be bisexual. Why would I have? My parents condemn homo/bisexuality,I have to keep it a secret from a few friends,and it gives me mental hell. Why would I choose this?
I didn't.So what happened?
Did you choose YOUR sexuality?
Note-this is really to those to those who think that it is a choice,but answer as you wish.

re:
God commanded us to kill:
unruly children: Deut: 21:20
Idolaters: Deut 13:6
The Accused: Deut 17:6
Children of enemies (to include babies): Nu.31:17, Deut 21:13, Psalm 137:9
A bride who is accused of not being a virgin: Deut: 22:13
The careless Ex 21:29

Who we should hate:
Those who eat crab or shrimp: Lev 11:10
Those who remarry same person: Deut 24:4
Homosexuals: Lev 18:22
the proud: Pr 16:5
A woman who wears pants: Deut 22:5
A man with long hair: ICor 11:14 (oops new testament)

and all the things God apparently either did himself or approved of or commanded to do?
The earth swallowing up thousands, God drowns almost everyoneon earth, God kills egyptian babies to punish pharaoh, people having to eat their own children's flesh, God punished children for their parent's sin, threatens to have wild animals to carry away Israelite's children...

How was this transformed into a God of mercy?
