Darwin's theory wasn't even original. He stole it all right out of Genesis chapter 1. First came the plants, then the sea ceatures, then birds, then land animals, then man. Darwin's evolutionary ladder is exactly what the Bible says the order of creation was. All Darwin did was take God out of it and replace him with "Mother Nature." [/quote] I love how christians LOVE to forget about genesis chapter 2 where the creation story there contradicts the one from chapter 1. Genesis 1:11-12 and 1:26-27 Trees came before Adam. Genesis 2:4-9 Trees came after Adam. Genesis 1:20-21 and 26-27 Birds were created before Adam. Genesis 2:7 and 2:19 Birds were created after Adam. Genesis 1:24-27 Animals were created before Adam. Genesis 2:7 and 2:19 Animals were created after Adam. Genesis 1:26-27 Adam and Eve were created at the same time. Genesis 2:7 and 2:21-22 Adam was created first, woman sometime later. [/quote] Really? So what does this magnificent scientific ephiny leave you holding the bag with when the great tribulation implodes on this world, a scapegoat philosophy of 'innocence by ignorance"? Where ya gonna cash those chips in at? Darwin's grave? :bricks: [/quote] I actually laughed when I read your post. What chips pray tell am I supposed to be "cashing in"? You folk blindly believe what a heavily edited 2000 year old text that plagiarized much older religions, and is so self contradictory that anyone who actually read it and had the mental retention of a monkey with downs syndrome would have to wonder how a religion formed around it. Granted if you are right and god is truly the asshole you people claim he is then I will burn in hell eternally, but I prefer to think that if there is a god, and I'm willing to admit that there might be, then it is a compassionate and rational being who expects me to live a good life and treat others the way I would want to be treated. Not go around telling others that their immortal souls will suffer an eternity of torment because they never heard of him, or didn't accept his superbaby that was a result of celestial [b]RAPE[/b] (and since Mary was 14 and didn't consent it is beyond the shadow of a doubt rape) as their personal lord and savior. I applaud the fact that you are in fact worried about my immortal soul. What I do not condone is the fact that you people cannot accept that other people have very different views about their spirituality. When you guys ask WWJD you really need to realize that he would make an offer, if the offer was refused he wouldn't go on a crusade or an inquisition, he would leave them the hell alone because he realized that their beliefs are every bit as valid as the ones he holds. [/quote] Setting your 'religious/philosophical' mortal impailment aside for a moment, consider that I might be offering you some 'accurate knowledge' with which you can transform your frustrated molten metal slag into a [i]real life forged sword of dragon slaying truth[/i]. We don't have to contend [i]againt[/i] each other... we can bond together in conquest of mankind's common enemy; " Finally, go on acquiring power in [the] Lord and in the mightiness of his strength. 11 Put on the complete suit of armor from God that YOU may be able to stand firm against the machinations of the Devil; 12 because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places. 13 On this account take up the complete suit of armor from God, that YOU may be able to resist in the wicked day and, after YOU have done all things thoroughly, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm, therefore, with YOUR loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and with YOUR feet shod with the equipment of the good news of peace. 16 Above all things, take up the large shield of faith, with which YOU will be able to quench all the wicked one’s burning missiles. 17 Also, accept the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, that is, God’s word, 18 while with every form of prayer and supplication YOU carry on prayer on every occasion in spirit. And to that end keep awake with all constancy and with supplication in behalf of all the holy ones" Eph6:1 Luke..... use the force......:yoda: No? [/quote] But therein lies the barb. For knowledge to be accurate it has to be verifiable. How dose one verify what you have stated? I myself stand firm against wickedness, my shield is my education, and my armor is my morals. No need for mystical good and evil there are plenty enough quantifiable sources of good and evil in this world, I don't feel the need to make up more of them. When a person does good and you claim that a higher power is the source of that altruistic act then you demean that person by saying that their goodness came from someone else. Just like when a person does an evil deed you make them less liable for their actions by saying that the devil made them do it. This all seems rather silly to me, and if there is a higher power out there I'm pretty sure it will judge you by your actions, not your words. It's easy to do wrong, blame the devil, then ask for forgiveness. It's much harder to resist temptation, act like you are somebody and not need forgiveness. Now there are time that we all slip and give into those temptations, but a rational being (or at least in my opinion) would weigh the good vs the bad, not some promise made to a man who live 2000 years ago, as whether or not you have a good afterlife, or a bad one. Food for thought no? [/quote] Excellent reply, very responsible and objective, and no cop outs, commendations. What are you citing about a promise of an afterlife? Jesus revealed God's solution to man inheriting sin and death (Ro5:12) as being the second chance resurrection during his 1,000 year reign. :chorus: [/quote] To be honest I have no more to cite for an afterlife than anyone else. Just like everything else in this life there are NO guarantees. I just prefer to think that if there happens to be something after my days on this planet are over then my actions while I was here will dictate how that something will be for me. Much like the Buddhist, just without the whole reincarnation bit. Karma, Kismet whatever you want to call it. Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of good lessons to learn from the judeo-christian holy texts. One of my favorite rules, if not my only rule is a bastardized version of the 10 commandments as told by George Carlin. I'll add the video link if I can find it, it's rather sacrilegious... but if you have a fairly thick skin, and a good sense of humor you may like it, but it all boils down to "Be nice!" Isn't that basically why Jesus got nailed to a tree? Just for telling folk to be nice to one another. That is if you leave out the fact that he was a descendant of David, and Pilate just couldn't have a Jewish King running around on the loose.
