The God of the Bible is very different from the other gods at that time. God always had a moral justification for war, rather than other gods didn't need that justification.

[On a successfully fulfilled prediction]Isn't that handy. Science has a theory, perhaps based on archology, and now they have DNA and they claim the DNA record proves their already existing theorys. The new evidence should have compleatly overturned their existing theory. They should be having to scramble to come up with a new theory to explain the new information.

The Ten Commandments are blasphemy to a liberal because they... demand worship of only the Creator God of Scripture... Right there in the Ten Commandments is a divine command to keep an independence of church and state...

Creationist has [sic] never gone outside the limits of an experiment by an evolutionist or whatnot. A creationist isnt going to make up data to verify their claim, and if you stopped saying 'no, it aint true' all the time you'd see that.

How can you say this when it is impossible to 'observe' time slowing down in relation to acceleration as velocity approches C? There IS no 'observed evidence' to cooroborate Einstein's theory, just speculation and mathematical equations.

I believe it is logical to believe creation since it is based on observations and not untested hypothesis.

Another example is the slavery in America. That was wrong. It was so very wrong. But if a master treats the slave nicely, gives the slave food and does not beat the slave then that slavery isn't wrong.

The Theory of [Atheistic] Evolution says that when the earth was volcanically active after being formed, life (the first simple cell) was synthesized from various non-living building blocks. However, the problem here is that non-living matter cannot produce living organisms. This invalidates any evolution in any definition past present or future.

And if the bible says the sun stopped do you have proof that it didn't?

[Arguing against theistic evolution]And this overlooks the fact that evolution is a wasteful, cruel and inefficient process... and there is loads of death and suffering.

Judas, the Spanish Inquisition, and the pedophiles currently running amok in today’s Roman Catholic church have also been called "Christians" at one time or another. They will all get into heaven at about the same time [evolutionary biologist Kenneth] Miller does.

The homosexual community held out great hopes for such research... They have been severely disappointed. They have made great inroads however into making it true in the (uninformed) minds of the masses. Yet they actually have no proof of such a condition.

But on the way back to the motel, the kids did not fall asleep as we expected. They kept chattering incessently... they kept saying the word 'motel'... everytime they said it, I got butterflies in my stomach... We decided the Lord was trying to communicate something to us, so we... ended up paying the 150 for that nice hotel in the city. I don't know what the Lord saved us from. But we are convinced that He most likely saved our lives that night.

Well in science there is a rule called Occam's Razor which, roughly translated, means one shouldn't contrive complex and unneccesary explanations. The explanation that presents appear on Christmas morning because of Santa is one such explanation. The explanation that God is the cause of existence is not one such explanation.

[Count the clichés and logical fallacies!]

But anyway, I can prove. I only can remember a few things, since there is so much proof. Here's a list of some stuff:

-Jesus has been proven to be a real person. And if this man, who really did exist, died and resurrected, you cant deny that God exists.

-If you use logic and think about it, you can see that its nonsense to deny the Bible if so many people, even some of the most intelligent people, believe in it.

-If you do something like steal, lie about something major, kill, cheat on someone, you'd feel guilty. The reason is cause it is a sin and isnt right so the Lord is "telling you not to".

-There is evidence of Noah's ark existing. They've found parts. They've found fossils of creatures in high elevations where they'd never naturally be able to reach. The flood is what made those creatures reach such a high spot. Also, the North and South Pole are icy places. These icy places, if melted, would flood the world. See, these icy places are the frozen flood water. They havent melted again because the Lord promised he wouldnt do it again. And if the Noah's ark story is true, then logically it wouldnt make sense if the rest of the Bible were lies.

-theres more that I cant remember, and probably even more I never even knew. There's plenty of evidence and reasons to believe in God.

All these books and programs do is make whichcraft look fun, and that there is nothing wrong with it, they are just glorifying it. Why would they take a terrible sin like that and make it look like it isnt that bad? Next they will be making shows with homosexual 5 year olds, but everyone will think it is ok, because the main homosexual character is fighting evil...

... you assume that their assumptions [about decay rates] are based on fact and not fiction or creative writting. ie. (imagination)

You just can't accept it because you have too much pride to possibly conceive that the Bible may be right, and evolutionists have been wrong all this time...

I sure hope the 'artist' is really enjoying his/her self because one day they're going to stand in front of the Ancient of Days, the holder of their soul, and on that day their 'sincere artistic reasons' won't get them very far.

without God, we have no way to judge hitler's efforts aside from their ultimate failure.

now we should define eveloution 1st it can simplaly mean what and when more comlex stuf apperd on earth - proff fossial record 2nd it could mean how it happend naurlral selection 3rd ( the one peapol can get confused with ) the apsance of adevine being ( witch i reuled out earlyer ) now u can put idaas 1 and 2 to gearter but u cant stick 3 in also becuse it is not sien tifick NOT SICENTIFICK u cant argue that theogloy with proof like afossal record cause it is theoogical only

Sure sounds like the Wiccan 'power of three' to me. And no one can say it's purely coincidental, since shows like 'Charmed' (which emphasize the above number of witches as being 'effective') make that highly unlikely.

how do you know it [the asteroid] didnt make the earth void or without shape?

Anyways, when your down, don't you sometimes call yourself names? Or think badly of yourself? Well, Satan sticks those thoguhts in there heads that they are wothless, useless, so disguting that their probly gay, the they'll call themselves gay cause they start to hate themselves, then eventually they become convinced they are...

I began flipping through the channels... and came across a show on one of the major networks that was similar to Saturday Night Live. The skit they were showing was mocking a Christian show (something similar to what you might see on TBN)... The children were smiling so sweetly as they sang how they didn't believe in God. It made me sick.

from an athiest stand point their cannot be any moral standards because since athiest are so open minded they have to be moralistically relative to all cultures and practices... ever notice that things from Satan don't make sense and everything from God does make sense?

I think one misconception is that those who find truth and stop searching are therefore closeminded. Who would find truth and then keep searching? I say once the truth is found drop your anchor and set up camp, there is no reason to search any longer. Now that dosen't mean we shouldn't learn from other peoples viewpoints. I love hearing the otherside of things although I admit that I listen usually just so I can learn how to debate against them in the future. The word open-mindedness is tossed out there way too much. And if being closedminded means not allowing the worldly viewponts to be considered, then count me in.

The libs talk a lot about tolerance, but their actions are only 'PC'. That's political correctness and it is used by anti-faith bigots and hatemongers to try to silence Christians and observant Jews.

I have always believed that anyone who worships Islam/Muslims
should be deported from this country. Look at all the countries who have been open to Islam - Bosnia, India, Great Britian, all the AFrican countries - you have nothing but civil war, mayhem and murder once these muslims become significant numbers in your country.

The theory of evolution is held to be 'tenable' only because it offers a possible naturalistic (read anti-theistic) explanation of origins. The theory was not arrived at as the only reasonable explanation for the evidence; indeed much of the 'evidence' did not exist when the Greeks first came up with the idea.

If you read history you would know that science is just a theory with no evidence to base its assumtions on in the first place...

Most dragons are simply embellished dinosaurs. Did you know King Arthur was real? Yep, he was a minor king in scandanavia at the begining of that era. With time, he grew into this great King of Brittian. Same with dragons. they were real, but the tales were embellished on to get the fanciful creatures we see from hollywood.

This is blatenly false. The fossil record is as complete today as it's goning to get... No 'new' fossil discoveries are going to fill in the plain gaps that exist.

Circular logic is stil logic.

If one accepts that there is a God, then one is already moving away from what is scientific. In that case, is contradiction really that much of a problem? One must use a critical mind when looking through the Bible, even if one is a believer, but if one has already decided that there is a God, then aren't the contradictions relatively trivial? Are the details *that* important?

Evolution is just a bad mistake.....it's not even a lie anymore...! It's only taught today by those who would be best compared to people 1000 yrs ago teaching the world was flat....Old outdated once believed to be true data...still pushed by the "hard flat earthers" of Evolution...! The best Scientists are NOW distancing themselves from it because of breakthroughs in DNA and Genitic's...Your more apt to be struck by lightning 1 million times in a row AND then turn into a monkey..than you are to evolve into one...from anything else...! Sorry to burst your bubble...!

But a day of reckoning is coming. They will have to answer to all those unborn 'fetus'. I hope I am allowed to see it!

The very foundation of science has been established by Christians. Some never even heard of evolution. I find more brainwashing and defensive thoughts in the secular scientists then in the creation scientists. Why don't evolutionists want the holes in the theory taught in public schools?

You are breathing aren't you?...You think you do that on your own?...God enables you to do this.

What more evidence do you need than the BIBLE?

Furthermore, the recent discovery of organisms that are genetically completely identical without being a clone (I will expand on this in a new thread that I will start this week) is the final blow to evolutionism.

I wonder, can science really be trusted? One thing Christians know a lot about is their Bible. We know that a lot of so called scientists can not be trusted at all when it comes to their knowledge and understanding of the Bible. So how can we trust them in other areas that they want to offer us their opinion on?

The ability [of the Archer fish] to shoot [water at insects] could have been used to dislodge plant matter before the fall, and the Hebrew word for living creatures may not extend to insects, which would mean this was not a case of death before the fall.

And the ark was really really big, the Bible even tells it's specs. It could have and did fit two of every kind of animal in the world easily. [emphasis added]

HeLLo?!? Your saying the Bible is wrong? Adam was made from nothing. And Eve did form out of Adam's rib while he was sleeping. (God did it) A Fairy Tale. Heck no. Basically, your saying there that we are a fairy tale then.

That's your problem. Evolution cannot exist if there is a master designer God.

Sex is a sin... Skiing is deffinetly not... To even compare skiing and sex is rationalization to the absurd level.

If Darwin was correct in his assesment of the development of life, why do humans need clothes?

I find it very sad that the majority of Christians find nothing wrong with this [Halloween witch] Barbie. I saw the commercial for this doll and I was appalled. Why is it so hard to believe that this doll can spark an interest in witchcraft??? People need to wake up and realize that this sort of thing is serious. Do you honestly think Jesus would approve of this? Come on.

My opinion (nothing against you) is that [Joseph] Smith was a delusional liar. Kinda of like an old school David Koresh or Pol Pot.
