    What's funny?

    The evolution theory is back wards

    Example.
    1. How did one de evolve to get laid and have offspring?

    Evolution is a stupid theory. It don't make sense in the animal world

    "Evolve backward" hahahaha, maybe you should understand the first thing about evolution before you discuss it, because you clearly lack even the most basic understanding of it.

    Was Homer's Iliad the basis of that religion, though?

    ID is like the Dada movement : threatening? no , a way some people express themselves? yes , both look retarded? yes .
    Non beliefs cannot be threatened , specially when their appeal spreads like wild fire .

    You are bashing something that you clearly don't understand .

    And in that they would be wrong as far as the cultural standards of today's society goes. But that's just it; cultural standards do change and what seems enlightened today might very well be scoffed at tomorrow.

    Yeah, I thought about that, but I didn't want to bring military time into it. Let's not confuse the civilians! :wink:

    It's not just military time, but system time as well which is far more pertinent.

    ""Why are atheists so threatened by Intelligent Design?" I think its because they know we Christians voting as a group could get ID in the schools in by the brute force even if it there is no one standard theory of ID (which is true no standard ID theory exists*). But its deeper than that. Most activist atheists fear Christians (not the other religions, they that is some of the non-believers not all, fear Christianity MORE than radical Islam! Lol, that is a good testament of their sanity IMO. The reason being is they know the power that any large group has in the USA via our vote. Also and this is a personal opinion and one derived from metaphysical sources, I feel those unbelievers, those with an antichristian agenda, especially activist atheists are satanically influenced to persecute Christianity as hinted to in scripture.

    If the truth was known I would not agree to ID being taught as a course …oops! Now that the truth is known, a little levity is good eh, I would make it mandatory for ID to be mentioned as an alterative to evolution and as how life began.

    Yeah but military time sounds cool . . . not that we have strayed so far off topic at this point that we are lost, or anything.

    Maybe you should learn how to debate because what you posted was a blanket statement based on belief

    Faith that the complete lack of comprehension you demonstrated was real, and not just a joke? I wondered if you were joking.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Ok now Im back to thinking you are joking.

    And again not debating me on the post that ticked you off in.

    The theory of evolution is backwards.
    Why the hell would an animal de evolve to lose fur and be weak?
    If evolution was a fact I could pull out an engine block out by now with one hand.

    My post that you quoted had absolutely nothing to do with belief. Maybe you are getting mixed up with the other poster you quoted before me.

    Yes, woman made man complete, how is that 'hate' towards women, to use your hyperbolic phrase?

    As the husband is to submit to the wife, you leave out verse 21, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." Context is everything.

    The 'weaker' isn't referring to character or mental capacity, but sheer physical strength. Do you want to argue women are equal in that area? Why aren't there any women in the NFL?

    This is essentially teaching male headship in the church, which I agree with. It doesn't say anything about women outside of a church setting.

    No it doesn't. We can continue the Bible study as long as you'd like.

    Want to stop dodging my employee question? Since an employer has authority over an employee, dos that mean he 'hates' employees and that they are his property?

    The atheists admit that when its convenient. For example, they say here that North Korea isn't really an atheist nation (even though it officially is), why, its a relgion worshipping the dictator.

    "De evolve", or the correct term, "devolve", are terms that modern biologists don't use because they have long been understood to be flat out wrong. With every single post you demonstrate a near-total failure to comprehend what evolution even means. You can either go away and try to learn something about evolution, or you can keep entertaining us with your ignorant misconceptions. Both work for me.

    Please link me to a few atheists admitting that, as a general statement, atheism is a religion. Because I haven't ever seen such a thing.

    As for North Korea, I agree thats stretching things a bit, but if one was to be pedantic about it (and I'm not averse to a bit of pedantry here and there, I admit), the OED defines religion as "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power". If North Koreans consider the dictator superhuman and worship him (as they are supposed to do) then that fits the definition like a glove. It has to be said that this is definitely a gross oversimplification of that complex country, though.

    The employer/employee thing isn't a good comparison because the employer does value the employees by paying them...hopefully on an equal basis). Anyway , it's not the same.


    Here's a better comparison:

    During the days of slavery, the owners probably never gave a thought to whether they hated the slaves or not....BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFEENCE TO THE SLAVES!

    Again your making a Faith based response. With no facts.
    You want to believe a theory that can never be proven as a fact
    And btw I thought liberals were the ones who search out answer's

    I always believed in evolution for 48 year's. Until I came up with my brain storm last year. Evolution is stupid.

    Don't make sense.
