Are there any Atheist Creationists? No, because atheists are closed-minded. But there are Christian evolutionists because Christians are open-minded.
Since Christians are open minded and atheists aren't, the theories they believe are likely to be right. (because they're willing to change their minds when they encounter a better theory)
Conversely, atheist theories are likely to be wrong. Since evolution is an atheist theory it is likely to be wrong.
Therefore creationism is better than evolution.

Let's see if anybody can argue against that logic.

There has been a divide with some claiming Horus had a father and some other recent theories claim he was born from a virgin both (particurly held by those who believe in astrotheonomy that books such as the bible are allegorical for the constellations and movements of the heavens). What is the truth?

What exactly are they basing this rather big statement on? It can't be a man made book that's for sure, so what is it??

Just had to crank up the volume for U2's "New Year's Day". I do the same with Metallica's "Enter Sandman" (okay, being a die-hard rocker since '64 the list is endless, but these came to mind readily enough).

Don't get me wrong, I love Enya and a wide variety of Celtic instrumentals, but there is something very powerful and primal about rock.

It is as if Enya touches the feminine, while rock touches the masculine (if I may be excused for stereoptyping, but that is how it feels to me).

Care to suggest a reason for that?

I am force sensetive, and i have been feeling weird these past weeks. I just want confirmation if anybody else that is or isn't force sensetive, if they feel the same. (when i mean force sensetive, i mean psychic, and when i mean psychic i mean from a dream, branching out to actually peering into a crystal ball, from having a series of coincidences, to fliping thru tarot cards, from using your sixth sense to pick up on something, to just senseing peoples emotions. I'm taking surveys from all across the board, your input matters, whether your oppinion spans deep into the metaphyiscal specturm stretching all the way across the physical spectrum of your perspective. Thank You

I used to be catholic, but in 16 years of church-going and 13 years of catholic schooling, I never understood the concept of mortification. I mean, I understand that it is enduring physical hardships in order to clean the soul, but I don't see why people would do that instead of just praying and doing good works.

Also, why does the church condemn self-injury (cutting, burning, et cetera) but allow (even promote, as it is extolled in some accounts of saints) very serious mortification? Where is the line between sin and virtue, between holiness and insanity?

I don't understand why it is considered acceptable to flagellate oneself, or go on excessively long fasts, or wear metal spikes that dig into your leg, or bang your head against a rock. I did much less in my teen years and was almost committed to a mental hospital!

Please help me understand this. Mind, I'm not in any way being anti-catholic... I just am very curious.

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
— Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by quotation.
— Benjamin Disraeli

People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first.
— Unknown

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.
— Mark Twain (1835-1910)

The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of past centuries.
— René Descartes, (1596-1650)

I hate quotations
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

quote:
==============================
The fact that non-local correlations and non-local quantum information can now be seen as ubiquitous in nature leads to the conclusions that the quantum hologram can properly be labeled as "nature's mind" and that the intuitive function we label in humans as the "sixth sense" should properly be called the "first sense". The perception of non-local information certainly preceded and helped to shape, through learning feedback, the sensory systems that evolved in planetary environments, and which we currently label as the five normal senses.



We must conclude that evolved, complex organisms which can form an intent can produce and often do produce non-local causal effects associated with that intent. Further, that attention alone produces coherence in nature that in some measure reduces randomness.



Finally, I conclude that the cited experiments and current understanding of non-locality in nature is sufficient to postulate that non-locality is the antecedent attribute of energy and matter which permits perception and is the root of the consciousness which manifests in the evolved organisms existing in three dimensional reality.

It's already been proven that evolution is false. Leading evolutionists like Stefan Jay Gold and Ricardo Drawkins have retracted their claims.

But Creationists now need to take their case further, and prove the falsity of other "scientific" theories that conflict with the Bible. I'll start.

First, the theory of gravity. It is just a theory, not a fact. And it conflicts with The Ascension, which is discussed in Revelations. If gravity were true, and large things were attracted to each other, then the Earth would be attracted to the Sun, and we would all burn up, but gravity is false.

Second, the germ theory of disease is just a theory, not a fact. Diseases are caused by demonic possession. When I had a cold last month, I prayed and had my preacher perform an exorcism on me. I got better within a few days. When my Aunt had pneumonia she went to a doctor and died because they did not perform an exorcism.

Any creationists know of any other scientific theories we can attack?
