No. We know that god created us. Because all our opponents can come up with is evolution.

Jesus said something along the lines of being childlike. I don't think the simple soul thought people would take it literally! :-) It is a religion suited to the credulous and 'basic' mind...

Re: Atheist Billboards Outrage Charlotte NC Residents
The bottom line is we don't try and talk to the big bang or evolution. We don't believe that it will save us or forgive our sins, and we certainly don't think that it wants us to kiss its ass....
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1628454


The bottom line is there is actually significantly more evidence for the God of the Bible than the Atheist faith.

Natural Science continues to point towards incredibly intelligent design and away from random natural origin. Not to mention numerous logical arguments for intelligent design like the inexplicable fine tuning to support life on Earth.

The conscience of man reveals an inherent sense of Right and Wrong that transcends mere survival and points to a Moral Creator.

The Bible continues to be one of the best historical documents on record, only condemned by people that refuse to believe in miracles even though their very existence and of the universe is already proof miracles occur.

The complex and ingenious designs of nature everywhere we look, as well as our very human consciousness, continues to defy Macro-Evolution.


What do naturalists/atheists have? Arguments from incredulity based from an equally, if not moreso, incredulous position.



The fool in his heart, says there is no God.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8597527


Tell your "theory" to scientists and they would laugh at you. Maybe all the kinks in the theory of evolution haven't been worked out yet, but it is very well proven. Evolution is a fact. Ask most every scientist and they will tell you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20657814


You should learn to distinguish empirical science from assumed beliefs.

We observe small micro changes. There are no facts to support radical changes in physiology. We don't even observe the introduction of new genes on a micro level, only rearrangements of existing genes.

Scientists have never observed the addition of genetic traits in an organism, that the organism did not already possess.

This recent lecture by Dr. Gordon Wilson will explain exactly why scientists have no problem questioning MACRO-Evolution.


 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8597527

Well, by the time you explain how some man named God created man from a handful of dirt and woman from a missing rib, maybe these scientists will have the answers to the evolution questions that you are asking. Mankind is pretty stupid to begin with. We evolved from apes, by the way. So it makes sense that we wouldn't have all the kinks ironed out of evolution yet. Why don't you go take a class on evolution at college level and then come back and give us your home-schooled garbage ideas about why evolution can't be true. Then read the Bible and tell us how three men lived in a furnace without getting a burn without saying, GOD DID IT. When you can do that, I will take your ideas seriously. Until that time, grow up, kid.

Your point is stupid. Atheists in this country go after Christians because you have your nose in everything. You have your slogans on our money, in our courthouses and you try to get your invisible sky daddy involved in schools, laws, etc. You don't see Islamic people doing this. Christians are loud and obnoxious and there is a Xian church on pretty much every corner of America. There are millions of you. That is why Christianity is often targeted. But if you TRULY want to be discriminated against, try to be an atheist. Most of us are in the closet, so to speak, because you evil Christians hate us and condemn us to your imaginary hell. Grow up.

it wasn't dirt, it was materials from the earth which made the physical body that houses the spirit. it wasn't a rib. the actual translations say material from adam's side. rib? maybe. more like genetic material.

if we evolved from apes, then why are there still apes? there is not one shred, not one iota of evidence that proves man evolved from apes. actually, the evidence falls to the contrary - that there is no possible way that man evolved from apes. if man evolved from any animal, the ape is the most unlikely candidate. the reason why they can't find the missing link is because there isn't one.

three men did not live in a furnace, they walked thru it. go and google what furnaces looked like back then.

An atheist group in in Charlotte, N.C., put up two huge billboards Monday ridiculing Christianity and Mormonism.

The billboard against Christianity calls God "sadistic" and "useless," while the display against Mormonism calls God a "space alien."

excellent and insightful comment, you apparently don't even know what the meaning of his statement is, or you'd have something to ACTUALLY say. everything he said is completely true, to think otherwise is to ignore the facts or be a dumbass. atheists are the least trusted and most hated religion in america (i know its not a religion, lack of better words). studies have shown this time and time again, all because some people are too ignorant to realize you don't need a religion to be moral. i'd help my fellow man and expect nothing in return, for the sake of kindness. religious-types tend to do their good deeds for fear of the god that loves them so much, and tend to think you need a god to believe in kindness and have a conscience.

You really need to study evolution as opposed to theology. It is apparent that you are learning these things from Christian college studies. Evolution is about learning new things every day. Creationists have been rehashing the same old garbage since the 60s. It is silly and scientists laugh at it. Man did not actually evolve from an ape. Each species evolved separately and if you had ever actually studied evolution, you would know this. If you ask why there are still apes, you really need to STUDY evolution? I don't know all that there is to know because I didn't take a college course in evolution. Yet, if you talk to any evolutionary biologist, they can answer all your questions. Try it sometime.

You say that the men walked through a furnace? Okay, I'll give you that one. I wonder why these men were so scared then? If it was no big deal to walk through this furnace, why is it explained as a miracle in the Bible?

So how did the donkey talk using human language? What excuse can you come up with for for that one? How did the sun stand still so some man could win a battle? How did the sun go backwards in another Scripture verse. Remember, you can't use "God did it" in these cases. You have to explain these things using fact, not fiction.

Why did God accept a human sacrifice in the form of Jepthath's daughter? If God accepts human sacrificies, then why do you think that the pagans are wrong. Their Gods also accepted human and animal sacrifices, and so does your God. Why can't God just forgive us himself? Why did he need the blood sacrifice called Jesus? How could a big star up in the sky lead anyone to a stable? Why is there no historical account of the dead people who came out of their graves after Jesus died, and why is this unbelievable incident only mentioned ONCE in the Bible? What did these zombies say about the afterlife? Why is that not recorded ANYWHERE except for the Bible? You would think a story like that one would be broadcast around the world by all kinds of people not involved in the Xian faith? How did the kangaroo end up on the ark? Australia was always a segregated land mass. Could it be possible that the animals evolved differently in Australia.

How did Samson catch 300 foxes and tie all their tails together. Then how did he prop torches between all their tails and then let them all loose so they could burn up some fields? THen how did Samson kill 1,000 men with a donkey jawbone? Remember, you can't use "God did it." Oh, I could go on and on but I will wait until you answer some of these questions including how a man could live in the belly of a fish for three days.

Humans actually are very close to apes. And scientists have discovered that missing link you all like to blab on about. Google it or try You Tube. You will find the evidence that no missing link exists there. And I committed a typo. Humans did not evolve from apes, per se. Each species did evolve separately. But I thought you would already know that, brilliant scientist that you think you are. Oh boy, go to school and learn about evolution, if you are intelligent enough. It is a hard course, actually.

You really need to study evolution as opposed to theology. It is apparent that you are learning these things from Christian college studies. Evolution is about learning new things every day. Creationists have been rehashing the same old garbage since the 60s. It is silly and scientists laugh at it. Man did not actually evolve from an ape. Each species evolved separately and if you had ever actually studied evolution, you would know this. If you ask why there are still apes, you really need to STUDY evolution? I don't know all that there is to know because I didn't take a college course in evolution. Yet, if you talk to any evolutionary biologist, they can answer all your questions. Try it sometime.

You say that the men walked through a furnace? Okay, I'll give you that one. I wonder why these men were so scared then? If it was no big deal to walk through this furnace, why is it explained as a miracle in the Bible?

So how did the donkey talk using human language? What excuse can you come up with for for that one? How did the sun stand still so some man could win a battle? How did the sun go backwards in another Scripture verse. Remember, you can't use "God did it" in these cases. You have to explain these things using fact, not fiction.

Why did God accept a human sacrifice in the form of Jepthath's daughter? If God accepts human sacrificies, then why do you think that the pagans are wrong. Their Gods also accepted human and animal sacrifices, and so does your God. Why can't God just forgive us himself? Why did he need the blood sacrifice called Jesus? How could a big star up in the sky lead anyone to a stable? Why is there no historical account of the dead people who came out of their graves after Jesus died, and why is this unbelievable incident only mentioned ONCE in the Bible? What did these zombies say about the afterlife? Why is that not recorded ANYWHERE except for the Bible? You would think a story like that one would be broadcast around the world by all kinds of people not involved in the Xian faith? How did the kangaroo end up on the ark? Australia was always a segregated land mass. Could it be possible that the animals evolved differently in Australia.

How did Samson catch 300 foxes and tie all their tails together. Then how did he prop torches between all their tails and then let them all loose so they could burn up some fields? THen how did Samson kill 1,000 men with a donkey jawbone? Remember, you can't use "God did it." Oh, I could go on and on but I will wait until you answer some of these questions including how a man could live in the belly of a fish for three days.

because, when they were inside the furnace, everything that is in there is completely incinerated. they were spared supernaturally.

the university that i attend is not only Christian studies. For example, I am studying the philosophies right now. Prior to that was a history class of the religious worldviews since the dawn of time. Christianity was a small chapter in that semester.

the talking donkey of Balaam is a really interesting story. but, it is important to keep it in context. Balaam was made into a fool because he abused the gifts that God gave him. Balaam was angry with the donkey and while he was stuck facing the opposite direction, he thinks he hears his own donkey speak to him. when he turns around, he sees the angel of the Lord with his sword drawn.

did the donkey actually speak? well, nobody heard it except Balaam, so probably not. donkeys don't speak. more than likely, Balaam heard the angel of the Lord calling Balaam on his stuff. or, the Lord spoke thru the angel letting Balaam think his own donkey was speaking.

interesting note: when Balaam heard the donkey speaking, he was neither surprised nor scared.

i will answer the rest of these, give me a few minutes to put it together.

We evolved from apes, by the way. So it makes sense that we wouldn't have all the kinks ironed out of evolution yet.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20657814


And you know this because of the complete lack of empirical evidence for it (or any other process of macro-evolution), and also of course because humans are nothing like apes... sounds like typical Atheist anti-logic to me.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8597527


Humans actually are very close to apes. And scientists have discovered that missing link you all like to blab on about. Google it or try You Tube. You will find the evidence that no missing link exists there. And I committed a typo. Humans did not evolve from apes, per se. Each species did evolve separately. But I thought you would already know that, brilliant scientist that you think you are. Oh boy, go to school and learn about evolution, if you are intelligent enough. It is a hard course, actually.

Re: Atheist Billboards Outrage Charlotte NC Residents
THE LONG DAY OF JOSHUA - SUN STANDS TILL

One of the evidences for the historicity of the long day recorded in Joshua 10:13 and reiterated in Habakkuk 3:11 lies in the large body of traditions from many parts of the world according to which there was a long day (or night, or evening, depending upon the location) at about the same time that Joshua lived.

David Nelson dramatically informs us of this fact as follows: Chinese history speaks of Yao, their king, declaring that in his reign the sun stood so long above the horizon that it was feared the world would have been set on fire; and fixes the reign of Yao at a given date, which corresponds with the age of Joshua the son of Nun. . . .

The Latin poet Ovid amuses the school-boy greatly, in his fanciful narrative of Phaeton's chariot. This heathen author tells us, that a day was once lost, and that the earth was in great danger from the intense heat of an unusual sun. . . . Our notice is somewhat attracted, when we find him mention Phaeton--who was a Canaanitish prince-- and learn that the fable originated with the Phoenicians, the same people whom Joshua fought.

If you ask an unbeliever of these incidents, or of the common traditions of early nations that a day was lost about the time when the, "volume of truth", informs us that the sun hasted not to go down for the space of a whole day, you will find that he had never thought on these points: they are not of the character which he is inclined to notice.

T. W. Doane relates the following facts concerning these traditions:

There are many stories similar to this, to be found among other nations of antiquity. We have, as an example, that which is related of Bacchus in the Orphic hymns, wherein it says that this god-man arrested the course of the sun and the moon.

An Indian legend relates that the sun stood still to hear the pious ejaculations of Arjouan after the death of Crishna. A "holy" Buddhist by the name of Matanga prevented the sun, at his command, from rising, and bisected the moon. . . .

The Chinese also, had a legend of the sun standing still, and a legend was found among the Ancient Mexicans to the effect that one of their holy persons commanded the sun to stand still, which command was obeyed.

Doane refers to Anacalypsis by Higgins, Buddhist Legends by Hardy and Bud. & Jeyens by Franklin in support of his statements.

In 1940, Harry Rimmer summarized these traditions as follows:

In the ancient Chinese writings there is a legend of a long day. The Incas of Peru and the Aztecs of Mexico have a like record, and there is a Babylonian and a Persian legend of a day that was miraculously extended. Another section of China contributes an account of the day that was miraculously prolonged, in the reign of Emperor Yeo.

Herodotus recounts that the priests of Egypt showed him their temple records, and that there he read a strange account of a day that was twice the natural length. Rimmer concludes this section with a lengthy quotation from the Polynesian account of this event.

In 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky came out with his controversial book, Worlds in Collision, based on the premise that the account of the long day in Joshua is accurate, accounting for many other unsolved scientific mysteries. In support of his premise, he also refers to the ancient traditions of a long day:

In the Mexican Annals of Cuauhtitlan--the history of the empire of Culhuacan and Mexico, written in Nahua-Indian in the sixteenth century--it is related that during a cosmic catastrophe that occurred in the remote past, the night did not end for a long time. . . .

Sahagun, the Spanish savant who came to America a generation after Columbus and gathered the traditions of the aborigines, wrote that at the time of one cosmic catastrophe the sun rose only a little way over the horizon and remained there without moving; the moon also stood still.

In a footnote, Velikovsky states that the Mexican Annals of Cuauhtitlan, were also known as the Codex Chimalpopca, and that these manuscripts contained a series of annals of very ancient date, many of them going back to more than a thousand years before the Christian era.

Velikovsky's theory was that at some time in the middle of the second millennium B.C., either the earth was interrupted in its regular rotation by a comet, or the terrestrial axis was tilted in the presence of a strong magnetic field, so that for several hours the sun appeared to lose its diurnal movement.

Velikovsky's book brought about quite a bit of discussion on this topic. "The Day The Sun Stood Still," by Eric Larabee was published in Harper's in January of 1950. It was reprinted in the Minneapolis Sunday Tribune on February 5 of that year, with the comment that "The article on this page--`The Day the Sun Stood Still'--will quite probably become the most discussed magazine piece of 1950.

It was published in the current issue of Harper's Magazine, and the Tribune is the first newspaper to reprint it. The account is based on a book, Worlds in Collision, by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky.

The article has created such interest in publishing circles that, the Tribune has learned, the editors of Collier's and of The Reader's Digest have other presentations of the same idea in preparation.

This Week magazine, which is a section of the Sunday Tribune and twenty- five other Sunday newspapers, is preparing a pictorial presentation of some of Velikovsky's unusual theories which lace together elements of religious beliefs and scientific events and try to explain that once--within the recorded history of man--the sun stood still."

Gordon A. Atwater, curator of the Hayden Planetarium, wrote at the time, "The theories presented by Dr. Velikovsky are unique and should be presented to the world of science in order that the underpinning of modern science can be re-examined . . . I believe the author has done an outstanding job."

Another indication of the trustworthiness of Joshua 10:13 can be found in astronomical data. It appears that one full day is missing in our astronomical calculations. On different occasions, Sir Edwin Ball, the great British astronomer, and Professors Pickering of the Harvard Observatory, Maunders of Greenwich, and Totten of Yale have traced this back to the time of Joshua.

If we disregard calendar changes and deal only with a chronology based upon solar motion, and go back to the earliest available records, and trace the calendar through to the time of Joshua, the day of Joshua's battle was on a Tuesday, whereas if we compute backwards to the time of Joshua from the present day, the day of the battle would have been on a Wednesday. The day of the month is the same, but it is a different day of the week.

In other words, if we reckon from the first recorded solstice in the ancient Egyptian records, the day is Tuesday, but if we reckon back from the most recent solstice, the day is Wednesday.

These facts are extensively corroborated with astronomical data by Charles A. L. Totten in Joshua's Long Day, and the Dial of Ahaz (New Haven: Our Race Publishing Co., 1890). Note that this differs from the "NASA story" of a missing day which apparently never occurred...s8int.com

An atheist group in in Charlotte, N.C., put up two huge billboards Monday ridiculing Christianity and Mormonism.

The billboard against Christianity calls God "sadistic" and "useless," while the display against Mormonism calls God a "space alien."
 Quoting: Chop's


Notice that they're too gutless to ridicule Islam.

Come on Atheists - man up and show that you're not afraid of any religion.

At that point, you'll see how the media will suddenly classify that as "hate speech".
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16041829


Your point is stupid. Atheists in this country go after Christians because you have your nose in everything. You have your slogans on our money, in our courthouses and you try to get your invisible sky daddy involved in schools, laws, etc. You don't see Islamic people doing this. Christians are loud and obnoxious and there is a Xian church on pretty much every corner of America. There are millions of you. That is why Christianity is often targeted. But if you TRULY want to be discriminated against, try to be an atheist. Most of us are in the closet, so to speak, because you evil Christians hate us and condemn us to your imaginary hell. Grow up.

it wasn't dirt, it was materials from the earth which made the physical body that houses the spirit. it wasn't a rib. the actual translations say material from adam's side. rib? maybe. more like genetic material.

if we evolved from apes, then why are there still apes? there is not one shred, not one iota of evidence that proves man evolved from apes. actually, the evidence falls to the contrary - that there is no possible way that man evolved from apes. if man evolved from any animal, the ape is the most unlikely candidate. the reason why they can't find the missing link is because there isn't one.
