"We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." Billion and billions of demons, The New York Review, p.31, January 9, 1997.

Me and this kid are having an argument about what a wiccan symbol is. He says it is called a Pictogram [what ever it is]. he says it is called that because it has righting in between the spaces. But i say it is called a regular pentagram. also i want to tell him what the elements are but he wont believe me.

I forget, was Jonah in there for 5 days, or something?
Why has nothing so amazing ever been recorded by legitimate observers, in recent history?
What happened to all of the 'miracles', of yesteryear?
Why did 'miracles', of this caliber, cease to happen once education/science was realized as legitimate?

"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents--the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts--i.e. of materialism and astronomy--are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milkjug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset." C.S. Lewis, The Business of Heaven.

How does the order of the universe occur by chance? Logic depends on order. How can we trust that our logic is indeed logical?

Adam called the son of God as well:
Luke 3:38
.... which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Son = an honor servent to God

and what do you think of this animal who also is a virgin birth?

how about the first chicken, first tiger, first bird...etc . why can't you understand that when God wants something to happen He just says Be! and it will Be!. Jesus isn't God and God has no partner in worship. God should be worshiped alone.

I constantly hear Christian bashing from the homosexual community. Why is this? Christians don't care what you do behind closed doors. True Christians know that all people are sinners. Everyone has different sins. They know that homosexual activity is sinful for them and theirs. They may tell you that, but then again some people tell you it's bad to eat ice cream, smoke cigarettes, gamble and drink alcohol and you don't hate them. They may vote and organize in a way that reflects their view of the world, but every one does that. They may object to your sexuality being promoted in schools, but many people object to various aspects of the sexual teachings in schools. As parents they have a say as to what is taught to their children. So, what's the beef?

My life has been a nightmare for years, practically my whole life and I'm almost 50. I have fought and struggled so hard to try to make something of myself that proved statistics wrong - like how I should have ended up dead, in prison, a serial killer - but I have educated myself to a graduate degree and still it seems like every day there is a major problem in my life. I love God with all my heart and I know that sometimes He tries to work things in us with hard times but I'm about to lose my mind for good this time. I do have PTSD/depression/anxiety from all the traumatic experiences in my life and they just keep on coming. Can't anybody help me understand this?
An example - I was wrongfully terminated by Daimler Chrysler Financial Services for trying to look out for their best interest but they found out about my psych diagnoses and got rid of me. My mom and one of my daughters disowned me a while back and the other one uses me relentlessly. Why is it so hard for me?

I'll shoot down every coherent reply that supposedly disproves or challenges evolution. Think hard. Stay on track. Do your best.

I've heard them all.

I'll check back in a while.
