The myth that Flagellum bacteria are irreducible was shown to be completely wrong, as was their suggestion about blood clotting.

Chromosone #2 in the human genome was shown to be a merger between 2 other primate chromosones, thereby showing why we have a different number of chromosones from other primates.

"People & Pandas" was shown to be indentical to a pre 1987 version by the same title, except for the term "creator" being replaced by "designer" and "creation" by "intelligent design".

How can anyone cling to something so totally discredited?

More and More people are praying on-line. I think it's incredibly awesome and I love being able to agree with you in prayer. Have you noticed? Do you enjoy praying here? And for those of you that don't then why did you bother to answer this question as like it or not we will pray for you and anyone who gives a negative answer.

Rev. George Rodonaia underwent one of the most extended cases of a near-death experience ever recorded. Pronounced dead immediately after he was hit by a car in 1976, he was left for three days in the morgue. He did not "return to life" until a doctor began to make an incision in his abdomen as part of an autopsy procedure. Prior to his NDE he worked as a neuropathologist. He was also an avowed atheist. Yet after the experience, he devoted himself exclusively to the study of spirituality, taking a second doctorate in the psychology of religion. He then became an ordained priest in the Eastern Orthodox Church. He served as a pastor at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Baytown, Texas.

Rev. George Rodonaia held an M.D. and a Ph.D. in neuropathology, and a Ph.D. in the psychology of religion. He delivered a keynote address to the United Nations on the "Emerging Global Spirituality." Before emigrating to the United States from the Soviet Union in 1989, he worked as a research psychiatrist at the University of Moscow.

Recently, I noticed that the avatar belonging to ChooserealityPLEASE shows Kent Hovind behind bars with a sign reading PIMP displayed at the bottom of the picture.

Thinking the whole thing was faked for the sole purpose of defaming Mr. Hovind, I objected strongly, both threatening to report the user as well as threatening to write Mr. Hovind and alert him to the abuse of his image and recommend he take legal action to force him to cease and desist.

I have since discovered that Mr. Hovind is in fact behind bars and the image is genuine, with the exception of the PIMP sign (to which I still object since it is not genuine). Apparently, he has been arrested for tax fraud and was found guilty on all 58 counts.

In haste to defend Mr. Hovind, I made an unwarranted threat (which I did not carry out, by the way). While it probably does not matter to most of you, it matters to me. My behavior was un-Christlike, especially since it's not my concern.

Please forgive me - I'm sorry - Tom

Wow there were so many DUMB responses by christians on the last post I had to ask again. I won't have enough character space here to get through all of them though. 1) you putz who quoted the bible, did you read the question? If 2 Gay atheists want to get married why shouldn't they? You reply with quotes from the bible?! The situation involved 2 Atheists! 2) bats_fan, wow you're a moron too. "If you're calling Christians and Catholics bad for trying to "force" their beliefs on others, than you're no better than they. Feel better now, do you? " I am NOT telling christians what to do with their lives, do w/e you want! But not allowing laws to be passed which prevents people from legally marrying IS stopping someone. Aaron "Umm...marriage was meant for a man and a woman...just like man was made for women." Show me ONE place other than religion where you see that. Also "Gays don't procreate thats why they shouldnt be together. "Guess anywoman who cant give birth shouldn't be married

Ex. Gay couples. Don't allow them to get married?! The bible says marriage is between a man and a woman. Okay well how about if the couples in question were Atheists or Muslims? We still have to live according to Christian law in this country, and a book that some of us think is silly at best? How would you feel living under Islamic law? Before you just say the remarks that make everyone thinks you will say, try thinking about it. i don't see how forcing a group of people to live by religious laws that they may or may not subscribe to is any better than some crazy Islamic laws in the middle east. (notice I said some, i have no problem with Islam before you people label me, the VAST majority of Islam preaches peace and love) And please don't give us the stupid excuse of well they can get married, they jsut can't call it that. Self identification is a part of rights. No? Ex. Oh okay, lets say an ethnic group is part of this country just not "citizens" then? Of course not!

The first commandment. If we actually follow the commandments as god's everlasting and eternal word, then we are forced to reconcile the fact that Jesus says he is not good, and that none are good but god. This means Jesus was not god, nor a part of him. Was Jesus lying when he said that?

What if Jesus was lying? What if Jesus really was the devil trying to mislead god's people by getting them to worship him instead of God? According to scripture, the savior would be called Immanuel, not Jesus. Can anyone find a scripture where Jesus is called by this name? How do you know Jesus wasn't a false prophet? Do you just take his word? Jesus has been known to misquote scripture and disregard god's laws (I have a list if you need proof, you can look it up yourself). For example, Jesus said that the rapture would happen during his disciples lifetimes, but they are all dead now. Why hasn't the rapture happened yet?

How do you know Jesus wasn't a fake?

Why should it matter what religion someone is as long as they believe in a higher being that created us and the whole universe. Whats the point of all the bickering when essentially we all believe in the same thing?
Shouldnt it be enough that we believe there is a God and that we try to live a good life?

 If Hell is real and God were human, would we give Him a death sentence for all the cruel things we say He is going to do to most of mankind?

This is just an attempt to understand beliefs of other religion, I am muslim though.
Say, if a peron is christian and believe that Jesus christ died for the sin of mankind. He takes loan from a friend and didn't pay as per promise, he is sinning, right?
He continued this sin and never paid back the loan until he died without paying back the money. So, what would be his condition? will he be punished or he will be benefited from crucifixion.

I cant believe in something that does not affect me personally, but is the cause for global war and destructive behavior toward fellow man and woman. How can one truly follow a BEING if one does not truly know? Because the BIBLE tells us so?

I am not christian (buddhist). I am sure there are some tolerant christians, but also am sure there are many who will ansew the question in the affirmative. Let's see who wins.
A previous questioner (very pro christian) made me think of this question....but...in retrospect...The west has been very pushy about it's christianity in the past and I believe it is one of the (many) underlying themes in problems with the mid east.
I don't mean to be derogatory...I am truly interested to hear from christians
