Carelessly criticizing Christians, the LA Times has lost its grip on reality.
The Los Angeles Times editorial board decided recently to join the debate raging between creationists and evolutionists, siding squarely with Darwin and the gang. But the Times did not merely position itself along a spectrum of the controversy. Instead it stood on one end and launched a criticism of creationists that was the most contentious, condescending, and contemptible I have ever read.…

...And sr's work is done.
Steve and MBD, by this time you should really see him coming.

Props to Dr. D. for #76.

It does seem that legitimate discussion is discouraged by some now, and that others want to just make comments but not debate anymore. Is that why this site is much slower than a few years ago?

SteveS. Just one thing. You say your are a born again Christian. How in the world did you arrive at this. Most people say Jesus is a fable/fantasy. That being true how can you be a Christian. This is not logical. Im confused. I also dont know about God talking to anyone. I wasen't their. Like I said if God didn't write the bible put in in your outhouse. Why would you put your trust in what man writes. Why should I put my trust in this thread. Why would anyone in their right mind put their trust in fallible humans and use the bible as a guide. A guide for what? Just trust me SteveS. I'll be glad to guide you. I am all knowing. Doc and Clavos, my work is not done. I rest on the seventh day funny men. MBD stopped being confused and thanks again. I put my trust in guns and gold. Lets go hunting boys and girls.

No, not a born again Christian, I don't recall ever saying that. If I did, I must have been having a vision.
I was raised as a Christian and on true Christian principles, and I have my own faith. I do not go to church as I do not believe in organized religion.
I can't comment on the other thread anymore, it won't load for me for some problem, once it gets up to about 190 comments. However this could be proof of evolution:
Monkeys can comprehend economics and use money for sex.
...During the chaos in the monkey cage, Chen saw something out of the corner of his eye that he would later try to play down but in his heart of hearts he knew to be true. What he witnessed was probably the first observed exchange of money for sex in the history of monkeykind. (Further proof that the monkeys truly understood money: the monkey who was paid for sex immediately traded the token in for a grape.)

"Oh, sr, now I understand. No, it wasn't the numbers of the chapters that confused me. I didn't know that was an actual question, I thought it was rhetorical."

"Oh, sr, now I understand. No, it wasn't the numbers of the chapters that confused me."
No. It's just everything else.

SteveS. I hate freaking monkeys. Where I live in Florida the Rhesus monkeys run all over the forest and bite the crap out of you. I have shot many of the little shits. Come to Florida and I'll take you hunting for the varmits. If your not into hunting you can toss them a few grapes.

If Adam and Eve were created as adult's did they have a belly button or a need for one? Should you not believe they were created and your belief is in the theroy of evolution their would be no need to respond.

Wondering if Adam and Eve had belly buttons, is a smaller hoop to jump through than a lizard giving birth to a bird.

#85: So that's what lies behind creationism: intellectual laziness.
87 - sr
Doc, that's the best ammo you have. Intellectual laziness. You truly are a funny guy.

The debate needs new titles. Call Evolution, "Theory of gradual appearance of life" and Creation, "Theory of sudden appearance of life".
What would you do with "Scriptural Physics"? Is it science or religion? It offers valuable insights in physics. Should students be "exposed" to it or "protected" from it?
