I'd be offended and disappointed in myself if you DIDN'T consider me a "fanatic"

I can take negative remarks tho. So then I can make remarks about other religions. Of course you can. Remarks with the same level of respect that you expect to get in return.  |

Hi Karen, Hope all is well by you and Frank. I do not believe the (Theory of) Evolution which is taught in schools. Saying that we evolved from apes, to me, is wrong. It is against what I believe to be true: that God placed man here. You may be right in the semantics of adaptation vs evolution. I still be believe that we all adapt to our surroundings. Hope to see you soon, Bill Karen, Though schools attempt to teach it as fact - it is a Theory of Evolution - theory being the operative word. Bill Thanks Bill, always a pleasure hearing from you. I did not say the "Theory of Evolution". I went to public school and they absolutely did not teach any form of religion or the theory of evolution. I said evolution! Too many people just in this thread alone state emphatically that "evolution" does not exist. That is totally incorrect. However, when defining evolution and examples are offered, quickly the response is a semantics game playing scenario "oh I mean the theory" or "oh I meant............". Now I would buy into that if these same people did not emphatically state there is no evolution over and over and over even when the conversation is not discussing the theory of how man evolved. Evolution exists. That's not something anyone with any intelligence can dispute. And based on that fact, common sense says it opens up the door for many to question if other living creatures can evolve, why couldn't man have done so as well. As long as that door is open, questions will be asked with no answers, and doubt will exist. |

Those of you who aren't Christians probably know what beliefs they stand for. So why is it a shocker for a Christian to stand against certain things?
Should be, love the sinner and hate the sin. On who's standards is it considered a sin? Bible explains it. If you don't believe the Bible, ok. So what. That's your preference, so don't expect anything other than a stand for belief.

Half a trace of evidence that God existed? The whole of His creations You and me. The earth. Everything that is seen and everything that is not seen. That's half a trace..... Yet you refuse to allow it in your courtroom. Mom and dad created me. Who made who? TK |

Most dogs today have been bred to bring out the certain traits you see in different dogs, but its still a canine not a new species. I see your point here but with my view of things it's just a matter of time before it actually can be called a new species. Here's a clip where they are illustrating some of those "links". |

I have and often share my views sometimes when asked and sometimes when not. I have other views you might not agree with but until it's asked of me publicly I wouldn't mention it. Why are you telling me that I'm being disrespectful to gays when my initial comment about it was me defending their GOD given American rights to do what they want to do? That is not a normal stance for Christians like myself. I defend their rights but because I also stated an honest opinion I have double standards? If people mock my faith I'm use to it. I have NEVER asked for these mockers to be kicked off the board, because they have the right to their extremely offensive opinions. But these same mockers have time after time tried to get me banned from this board. Ryan you come pretty close into falling into the "religious fanatic" category but trying to have you banned? That's ridiculous. What Elton John was singing about in (Tiny Dancer) "Jesus freaks... Out in the streets.." Hello Ryan! TK |

Also relating to the canines, who was it that made the dogs come out in different ways like that??? Man did, intelligent breeders. Dogs being what they are didn't even happen by chance. |

Here's a clip where they are illustrating some of those "links". watched the whole thing and must say it seems really far fetched, far more far fetched than GOD......I just keep thinking where did all those gases come from that eventually created everything else, at some point something has to have just always been there |

I see your point here but with my view of things it's just a matter of time before it actually can be called a new species. Here's a clip where they are illustrating some of those "links". I only made it through about 6 minutes of that video but I gotta say that was probably the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a LONG time. There is as much guess work and "Theories" there than anything I could say to you about God. NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING in the first 6 minutes had ANY proof to it at all. All speculation. Started all wrong for me. So many billions of years ago..... Wrong from the first sentence and all "Make believe" as you say from there. I know I can't PROVE my theory either but that wasn't a very good theory for the evolution side either. |

You coming around then? God the creator was always there. Before the beginning. The creator of the concept of creation!! Regardless what name you put on him he was always there. Regardless what materials or writings you chose to use to get a glimpse. It is only logical to assume someone, somewhere was here first and created all this. To think otherwise Is ILLOGICAL. Some things don't require tangible evidence. Just common sense. |
