[This guy believes this nonsense]
It IS mentioned in the Bible as a firmament. In Psalms, David talked about how the FIRMAMENT showed His handywork.
How come it didn't fall to Earth? Because magnets of same polarity REPEL each other. Therefore, the magnetic field held it up. How did sunlight penetrate it? It was only a few inches thick.
According to Brad Stein, 90% of Americans believe in God, even though the public schools have been teaching Evolution as a fact, despite the problems with it, one such example of problems are OOPARTS (Out Of Place ARTifacts). Look up OOPARTS on any search, and see whether or not Evolution REALLY fits the evidence as comfortably as is propagated. However, as with all science, one must examine both sides, THEN come to a conclusion.
Not to get off-topic, but if the earth's rotation is slowing down, then that means that it used to be going faster. And if we back this up a long time, say, millions of years, then we are going to have a little wind problem. The rotation of the earth causes the circulation of the upper atmosphere, which has a direct effect on the lower atmosphere wind patterns. If the earth was rotating a whole lot faster, then, would not the winds be too strong for life to "evolve"?
Okay. Evolution's a religion because, although the foundation of mutations is valid and they always occur, they can't change a bacteria into anything BUT a bacteria or any animal into another animal. The helioentric model of the universe isn't religious because it makes observations that could have been falsified, yet haven't because they are true. Evolutionism just makes excuses. Bow down before the Geologic Column. [bowing emoticon]
People think it's just a game and they don't take it serious. Well as someone who's been down that road, I can tell you it's more than a game, it's a trap set by the enemy to lure you and your spirit into abomination. If you dabble in the occult, you leave yourself open to demonic oppression. No, I'm not saying that it can only be dabbled with using a tangible vehicle like the card/boards. It's a matter of who and what are you placing your faith in.
Very I'm a die-hard Creationist who happily admits to your so called 'intellectual laziness' and who is -very- proud of it (considering what you meant by that phrase) Isn't it amazing though, according to all of you (or at least the evolutionists that I've talked to in the past) we should all be getting smarter, yet even the most brilliant today don't know how they built the pyramids or stonehedge without our fantasic modern equipment.. they're not even sure how the pyramids were built, period! And yet we're all so very intellectual and smart! Survival of the fittest at work, yes indeedy.
why would God not use Ouija Boards to spread His word? A friend of mine once asked it if God was real and He was Jesus. It literally flew to "Yes" and now she is a Born-Again Christian (not nessessarily just for that reason, but I know it helped) . I don't see how that is Satanic or occultic.
['Are pendulums evil?']
they are wicked...form of devil that lies to ya know.?
they possesse ya very quicky
There are various forms of possession, doing a ouja board once can(not just a can, will) get you possessed to a very small degree, the mroe you do them, the more possessed you get. The demons wont necessarily let you know your possessed at first
[Replying to comment quoted from <a href="http://skepdic.com/ouija.html" target="_blank">Skepdic.com - Ouija Boards</a>, 'If you want to prove it to yourself, follow the advice of that same site: "simply try it blindfolded for some time, having an innocent bystander take notes on what letters are selected. Usually, the result will be unintelligible nonsense."']
Uh-huh. What if no one is touching it and it is giving you answers.
I have been warned against useing the board by both christians and witches. DOes that tell you something? When even the pagans won't touch it? For the exact same reasons that have been pointed out by the christians on this board. You are playing with fire. It is NOT a game. It truely draws up spirits that are not too nice and once you have let them in, it is almost impossible to get rid of them.
Who would spend money establishing websites only for the purpose of dicrediting others? Perhaps those whose cover ups are threatened, or who aim to keep knowledge from people for purposes of control or for advantage of a head start in new tech.
Most americans don't have extra cash sitting around to start sites with. To be sure, IF there is a Planet X coming to shake the powers of the heavens (Luke 21:26), govs will do anything to keep it secret, including lie, character assassinate, and kill.
I noticed that site debunks Planet X. Links I've checked claiming to have coordinates for Planet X are unaccessable when I try them. Dr Harrington verified the existence of Planet X on the tv show "In Search Of"/Ultimate Disaster, hosted by Leonard Nimoy, in 1973! DR Harrington died untimely (unless you're with the cover up), and he was at the time with the US Naval Observatory. I'm not saying I can offer other proof, but here's sites related anyhow; planetxinbound.com and xplanet.com and planetxvideo.com.
True Christians are required to believe the angels of the Bible are real. Angels heal people in John 5, and arrest the evilest in Matthew 13:49-50. The Lord returns with his mighty angels in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9, taking vengeance.
Zechariah 5; a flying roll in the sky reported. A pillar of fire in the sky led Moses & Hebrews from Egypt. Ezekiel 1 deals with flying objects. Elijah & Jeshua both taken into the sky. So UFOs ARE CONNECTED IN THE BIBLE TO ANGELS!
HA! You just don't want your RELIGION exposed because then you'd have to admit that God DOES exist. Therefore, you want Evolutionism to be a fact. Bad news. It's not even a valid scientific hypothesis.
['But if the water didn't come "shooting from the crust" until after the flood ... there really is no way there was enough water for a global flood.']
There is if there was an ice canopy.
IOW, for someone to alter your car [Rip off a Darwin fish and leave a "Jesus Saves!!!" flier] with the exact opposite of what you believe is the truth rightfully makes you boil with anger.
Now you know how God feels as Darwinists did the exact same to Him: assert science falsifies sudden creation/Him.
['Is being gay always wrong?']
there ar some Religions that actually approved them - rare and not Christainity until lately when the Gay Pagans seem to have taken over.
I think it could be right for Islam. Unfortunatley they kill practicing homosexuals so the only release they have is to become suicide bombers. Better I say they stick to spreading AIDS - pretty harmless to decent people, but Islamic bombs can kill anyone.
[On the merits of science in schools]
Are you saying to substitute our young-earth origins with untrue theories in school just because the theories are scientific and give upcoming scientists a stable ground to practice scientific methods on? Shouldn't students be taught truth over science?
There were no "Egyptians" until after the fall of the Tower of Babel... There was but one people because everyone shared the same language.
[On how, after the Flood, all those millions of animals returned back to their respective homes.]
He had 2 of every animal. That's a good question. However, I bet the oceans didn't appear until after the Flood. So they hopped, walked, crawled, or whatever they did. I think the oceans were created when the water came shooting from the crust.

Meh Randi [<a href="http://www.randi.org" target="_blank">this guy</a>] is so much of a secptict even if a the devil himself kicked him in the "buttock" he wouldn't believe it.
[Replying to why God and Evolution don't go together]
Because God clearly says man caused death, but your religion says death caused man by way of goo-to-you-by-way-of-the-zoo Evolution.
Actually, Darwin was a schizophrenic and evolutionists have kept that bit under their hat for years...
When I request that the Evolutionist show me living specimens of Robustus or Erectus (not to mention the many other so-called ancestors), the usual response would be, "Bible Thumper, haven't you ever heard of extinction?"
...Extinction. What a convenient excuse...
Evolutionist theories about the origins and ancestry of the human race may be both racially motivated and racist.
Neo-Darwinist theories about the evolution of members of the human race from ancestors of African apes are both racial theories and racist because they purposefully and intentionally identify and classify certain members of the human race as the immediate descendents of non-human primates of African ancestry and descent.
Jesus is sinless, infallible, the eternal logos, God in the Flesh. All that he affirmed is true.
The Sciptures of the Christian Faith are infallible and reliably transmitted to us in the Masoretic and the Majority Text. These "Stories from 2000 years ago" were true then and they are true now. Not only are the ones written 2000 years ago true, but those written 4100 years ago are true as well. "Well researched and peer reviewed science" that is contrary to Scirpture is still contrary to Scripture. Scripture is right in that case and the Science is not true Science, but misinformed interpretation or lies.
After reading up on the indoctrination of evolution (as well as the sex ed thing) I've decided not to enroll my children in public school. I'm caught between homeschooling and private Christian schooling though I'd have to be careful. Even the church nowadays is compromising and letting in evolution and millions of years.
YEC, 100 percent!!
I don't see why people want to make the Word of God so difficult. They would rather believe something as complicated as evolution , when creation is so much easier to understand.
When God does something, THERE IS NO HALFWAY! He does it RIGHT, ALL THE WAY!
It's nice to find a forum where there are people who actually agree!
I used to be OEC, and could not believe that the earth was young, because of all the "scientific evidence" that I'd been hit with all my life.
So when our financial advisor lent me some Hovind tapes espousing YEC, I went into it with an open mind, but did not think I would be convinced. I was wrong. It makes me sick that so much knowledge is being hidden from school children because it weakens faith in evolution.
Male primates don't shave. They never shaved. They do not grow beards. Male humans who never shave grow beards. Therefore humans and primates do not share a common ancestor.
Just go to the first day of the sales of any of these books [Harry Potter] and see all the people standing out in the rain at midnight to stampede into the bookstores to get these books. Satanism doesn't usually manifest as blood drinking self mutilators who talk backwards. All that Satan requies is the rejection of God.
The author will keep churning out this trash as long as the money keeps coming.
Why is it that apes and monkeys have no beards or mustaches. Apes do not seen to be into body art or body piercing either. This is just an observation. Beards have been around seemingly since Adam and yet I see no connection with primates. Come to think of it, I've seen no ape sporting the "Tarzan" look. After supposed "millions" of years of cavemen hanging around with apes, apes still are not into sporting clothing. In fact, they (unlike us) do not even seem to understand the idea of modesty. It would seem that apart from a few similarities in form, that is where the similarities end. They are animals-----we are humans.
Well if you call demon worshiping nice. Hey whatever gets your rocks off right? I mean if you are a person who follow the Bible then Im surely confused at how you can state such an inane phrase as that one. So oral sex is nice eh? Tell that to Isis and Osiris too.
Btw, according to the Bible, Revelation says the skies shall be rolled back as a scroll, and the Sun, Moon, and stars will fall on Earth. Thus, the moon's recession and slowing fits PERFECTLY with the Bible scientifically.
[After realizing his previous claim about iron-eating animals being flung into space was dismantled]
I have a question, though. If it's not repolarizing for 200,000 years, how come we still have it? I mean, it's caused by the hot insides of Earth. However, you fail to understand, too, that magnets LOSE strength over time. 20,000 years ago, the Earth would have been destroyed by the heat of the planet.
[Replying to "Did you just spout the words 'rolled back as a scroll' and 'scientifically' in the same breath?"]
According to the 2LoT, a closed system (such as the universe) ALWAYS increases in disorder. So what is to prevent the laws from collapsing and making the stars destroy Earth?
If it [earth's magenetic field] repolarizes, as you claim, why don't birds ever migrate NORTH for the winter? Also, magnets of a like polarity REPEL each other, so why don't animals that eat a lot of iron fly off into space? As to the magnetic field, this would pull the moon closer because the Moon has iron in it. Therefore, it's magnetic. The magnetic field 3 billion years ago would destroy ALL life forms, and a repolarization would send EVERYTHING into space.
[Replying to "A species could not exist unless it reproduced."]
Exactly That is why evolution is impossible
There was no evidence in the 19th century for evolution, only the notion that Black people looked like monkeys, period. Then "scientists" went about looking for evidence of this. Therefore, the idea for evolution came from racism, pure and simply.
"Natural selection"?" That is again a term made up by evolutionists to try to explain things they don't understand.
[Responding to poster linking to pictures of Photoshopped peacock-crocodile hybrids from <a href="http://www.geocities.com/blindfools/trans02.html" target="_blank">this parody site</a> as a sarcastic reply to creationists redefining the meaning of "transitional fossil".]
<p>Actual photos of fossils please, (not that weird combos refute theistic evolution). [...]
<p>Just so everybody is clear, these were made up, like Piltdown man and Nebraska man- other supposedly "missing links."
No it [the Bible] shouldnt be heavly scrutinized because god did it and god can do anyhting
Theorizing that any human skulls are directly related to non-human African apes by evolutionary descent is a form of scientific racism.
How can anyone beleive we evolved from monkeys heres a few questions for people who beleive that
1.If we did evolve from monkeys then how come babies arent born monkeys
2.Even Darwin said his theories were wrong before he died so why do you still believe them
3.do you really not believe the bible it says we were created in seven days not millions of years
4.how come we cant speak monkey
Just for a fact ape like creatures are monkeys Just in case certain people get on this thread
My point is that a majority of people aren't always right. Which you acknowledged, so although a lot of scientists might believe something, might they not also all being deceived ? or working from a false set of assumptions ?
Besides, our model is the early christians, they had a great old time burning books. I think one time they counted they cost of the books as well. Lets have thousands of good old book burnings. Bring the marshmallows!
[Replying to "as far as I know, there isn't such a thing as 'vitamin b17'"]
<p>And yes, B-17 is a classified vitamin.
<p>If you have any problems with B-17 then I'll offer you a challenge. I'll take apricot seeds for 11 months and you take a toxic chemotherapy drug, and we'll see who's the better at the end of it. Or more to the point, we'll see who's alive at the end of it.
[Replying to "Transitional fossils are going to be by definition nearly like those species just before and just after the 'transition.'"]
<p>So are you saying that the fossil record doesn't show transitions ? Just sudden animals appearing almost like they were created ?
Yes i did but it doesnt matter i have faith that what the bible says is true so unless you can show me biblical evidence that we evolved then i wont beleive you
[Replying to "do you think that the theroy of evolution is that people are born monkeys then change to humans?"]
That is what evolution is
