... then consider the following:
In the documentary Genetics: Patterns of Diversity it concludes, "But still, the controversy remains. The challenge to Darwin's theory is to explain these molecular changes in terms of natural selection." There are many other challenges to Darwin's theory. Creationist Dr. Parker states:
Evolutionists assume that all life started from one or a few chemically evolved life forms with an extremely small gene pool. For evolutionists, enlargement of the gene pool by selection of random mutations is a slow, tedious process that burdens each type with a "genetic load" of harmful mutations and evolutionary leftovers.
...The creationist mechanism works and it's consistent with what we observe. The evolutionist assumption doesn't work, and it's not consistent with what we presently know of genetics and reproduction. As a scientist, I tend to prefer ideas that do work and do help to explain what we can observe. (Creation 115)
It is an established fact that

There's nothing I can do to help but pray. I fear my brother may be suicidal. I've tried to visit (I stayed 10 days and he literally left the entire time.) I've called over and over. I visited again but he said nothing was wrong. I've offered my help in a loving way. I've offered to pay for a doctor make a house call. I've offered to take care of his son while he recovers. I've invited him to stay with me. I've listen to him cry and then hang up when he's vented. I just called him 10 minutes ago and he refused to speak to me, even to say hi.

I just learned he lost his job and his kid is acting up and might not make it to 5th grade now. All I can do is pray.

Any scriptures or prayers for this? I'm just learning the Bible so I I don't know where to look. (I also sent him a really positive, uplifting religious-type book. He got mad.)
Thank you.

i know religion has done some good things for the world like helping pple in 3rd world countries and providing shelters and food for homeless pple and what not but do u think the world would be better without religion. because it seems pple carry it too far and so many wars have been started over religion and so many pple have died. but pple dont need religion to tell them right from wrong do they? im and atheist but that doesnt mean i dont have feelings and cant tell right from wrong. i know that if i murdered someone it wouldnt be very nice of me because of the pain it would cause friends and family. but i dunno, maybe religion is just an excuse and no matter what, someone would alwayz find a reason to justify their actions. sry i feel like my question isnt very focused, kinda random stuff but oh well, the basic question is what my heading is.

I have viewed how both sides look at the evidence for evolution and the fact is Evolutionists make more assumptions than scientific Creationists. Micro-evolution is acknowledged as a scientific fact by creationists but, macro-evolution (a species evolving into another new species) has NEVER been observed and Requires making assumptions. Finally, most evolutionists never even look at the scientific creationists view, while the creationists have looked into and been educated about evolution.
One example of how the two interpret data pertains to anatomical similarities. The forelimb of a man can be compared bone for bone to the flipper of a whale or the wing of a bird. An Evolutionists looks at the evidence and interprets it as, "Common ancestor." A scientific Creationist looks at the same evidence and says, "Common design." Now, who is making the assumption? There is no assumption in saying "Common design" because it is a statement of fact. However, to say "Common ancestor" is a huge

they are so egocentric.

it's like Christianity is the only real religion and everyone esle is damned for eternity... what is that


if you don't accept God your damned for eternity.."what about poor children in Africa that don't know of any christiany"

Seems like you can be a good person, a loving mother, father brother or sister, but if you don't give yourself to the Lord your damned for eternity.

it's like cutting the hand off a kid for sticking it in the cookie jar..
that something they can think about for eternity..or their entire life.


it is for these reasons alone that I think Christianity and most organized...well all Organized religions are BS

most were developed for political and ployes of power and control over the people.

Religion has been the root of more wars and discrimination then anything esle...Religion is a product of civilization nothing devine.

I think if you are a good person then you don't deserve eternal damnation because of your belief

And how about the their blood liquefying on certain days of the year? I remember reading articles explaining scientifically how certain chemicals preserve the body and liquefy the blood...Christians call these occurrences "miracles," but in reality are these in fact nothing more than naturally occurring phenomenons?

I've heard some ministers encourage congregations to respond by repeating the phrase. I respond by shout "Hallelujah" which is a shout of joy, praise, and gratitude.

What are your feelings?

There are 2 ID theories:

1. God created everything about 6000-7000 years ago. There is no evolution, just what God created and chose to change.

2. Evolution is subtly guided by God. The earth is 5 billion years old, and evolution happened (and continues to happen), but God is guiding the process, through subtle changes to life that we have identified as mutations.

Which do you believe is the correct one?

I've heard many times that science disproves the existence of God, but I've yet to hear the explaination of this claim. Am I misunderstanding the arguement or have I just run into people who don't feel like explaining? So my question is, if science disproves the existence of God, how does it do so?
Note: I personally believe that science neither proves nor disproves the existence of God.

All the writers of the U.S. Bill of rights were raised with christian principles (weather they practised a religion or not). If they had been atheists would the world today look anything like it does, or more like the Roman Empire, or Nazi Germany?

Why did they always "break the bread" before eating it?

I can see the symbolism of it in regard to communion, but even before that, Jesus and others in the NT are said to "break bread" before eating it.
