"That shocked look is Them probably realizing how utterly pointless it would be to get in any type of debate with such a closeminded simpleton."
Unfortunately I have to agree.
getting mad at someone and slamming your bible down in front of them says one thing for you to anyone that has read that book: "I haven't read this, can you open it to the pages that discuss anger management for me??"
"Cats aren't in the Bible."
please see all the times the Bible mentions lions...
on the note of aliens, technically speaking: anyone from a foreign country is called an alien, so if you ain't from Canada, I'm an alien to you, and your an alien to me...
and in that respect, see any verse that mentions people from other nations. in the respect of aliens from space, besides angels, no, not mentioned anywhere, but as it has been clearly pointed out, you should be looking into some of the scientific side of this, which says the same thing, none, anywhere... the next time you come across someone telling you science proves there is aliens, ask them, nicely, to use science to prove that aliens exist, and then tear them apart, nicely again.
what's with the virus?
"In all seriousness, I've seen this explanation for a Satan deception of the rapture before and it's just silly. You'd think these Fundies could at least come up with a scenario that might make sense. If people actually did see fundies being exclusively abducted by alients we'd probably start believing which would ruin their whole rapture (people are supposed to deny). The whole thing is counterintuitive."
I must agree.
"United States of America? Western Hemisphere? Australia? Britain? Madagascar? China? Iceland? Greenland? Antarctica? Japan? Neptune? Uranus? Pluto? Asteroids? Trains? Planes? Automobiles? Republicans? Democrats? Communists? Platypus? Kangaroo? Bison? Greater Scaup? Lesser Scaup? Whooping Cranes? Poison-dart Frogs? "Killer Bees"? Birth Defects? Cleft Palettes? Herniated Disks? Influenza? Polio? Etc.
If God existed, and had a clue? God would have taken the time to make a note of them.
Riiiiiiiight. "
actually alot of these things are mentioned in various places in the bible. as well as some cures, advanced medical techniques, and scientific theories that we only "discovered" withing the past few years... if there was any measure of scientists that read this thing, they'd be better off for it.
heck, it wasn't until recently that people have started to realize just how harmful blood transfusions are.
"Where in your bible is quantum chromodynamics?"
it's not; as far as I know, feel free to prove me wrong if you like.
if you feel like doing some research into God and Science, here is an excellent reference... don't forget to click the "read on" link at the bottom of the page.
