Do you want me to speak in tongues? That is the external evidence of the internal reality and presence of the holy spirit... I can speak in tongues at will. But I have not mastered typing in tongues. but I can prophecy too. I could prophecy to you here in this post. I will refrain though... Can you do these things? If you cannot, maybe it is because you do not have the holy spirit within or you do not know how to operate it. Have you ever thought of that?

Are you feelin' ok Rex? Did you fall off the tractor and bump your head or something? Maine's a nice place, but now you're gettin me a little worried about taking trips up there.

Who says I don't like the answer !!!

I LOVE the answer...now where's my share of the cash?

Did you go to the website I gave you? Can you prove you have a spirit? You get the million dollars. I am deadly serious here.

By "prove" I mean "prove" as opposed to....well, any other word you want to substitute.

Also another remarkable thing about Genesis and science is recorded in this verse...

Genesis 1:21
So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis is amazing. God makes the light on the first day, and the sun moon and stars on the fourth day. But what the hey, what is a day with no sun anyway.

Genesis 1:3-5
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. [Literally, "and the evening was, and the morning was, the first day."]

Genesis 1:16-19
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

What if God created the earth with the fossils already in it just to mess with the scientisis minds Just a random thought.

I don't believe in mass penalty; Adam and Eve made a mistake, and all humans must pay for their 'mistake.' That contradicts any sense of "a loving god." Eating an apple for chrissakes is not equal to the sufferings of mankind no matter how one twists the story.

Nah, the flood killed them off...

I would not call dinosaurs elegant.... I would call them rather crude and an evolutionary failure...

Ridiculous, Dinosaurs were phenomenally successful, enduring on this planet for a span of time which makes our existance seem insignificant. And descendants of dinosaurs exist today as birds, arguable the most elegant and advanced creatures on the planet.

It is well understood that humans are now the greatest "form" on the earth... Genesis is not a contradiction to science but a compliment...

Congratulations on assigning yourself status as "greatest form on Earth". You must be quite proud.

Genesis is a total chaotic irrational fantasy requiring desperate semantic and contextual contortions merely to reach a status of "what the hell are you talking about", beyond which we just have to shake our heads in disbelief and walk away. The story of Genisis doesn't compliment science any more than the tooth fairy compliments dentistry.

Get a grip on reality man. Really... sheesh.

I have to admit that I'm not keeping up, but, um, why exactly is the snake the lowliest form of all creatures in nature?

Looks like most of us Christian believers have been just sitting back and watching the show.

...of the creator. Besides, only god could create "satan." Otherwise, Satan is more powerful than god, becuase we just need to look at humanity - past, present and future. Satan wins hand's down.

No natural way has been found to explain the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies. An explosion should produce, at best, an outward spray of gas and radiation. This gas should continue expanding, not form intricate planets, stars, and entire galaxies.

John 15:6
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Comment:

Many a man has died a horrible death due to that one.

Unless of course, there were some force which tended to pull things together, like GRAVITY... oh, gravity does exist... never mind.

Seems Marx believed in evolution to such an extent that he wanted to further the cause by speeding up the process by keeping the fittest and doing away with the lesser/inferior of our species. Hitler and Mao bought into this also. Yes evolution is a good thing? Ask the Jews that were sent to the death camps. Ask the millions that Mao had put to death. All hail Darwin.

I enjoy the writings of Mark Twain. I live about 45 min. away from Angles camp the site of the world famous frog jump commemorating his work on the Jumping Frog of Calavaras county. Iv'e even gone up to Jackass Hill to see his cabin. Another interesting insect is the Dung (or Scarab) beetle. If this little critter wern't around the fly population would be out of control. http://www.museum.unl.edu/research/entomology/sm-beetle.htm This is very interesting. Although The smithsonian says it evolved to it's present state I don't believe that. I believe that God in his infinate wisdom created both the fly and the scarab beetle to work as a team to help fertilize the soil. Anyway it makes sense to me :wink:

And some people fly airplanes into buildings to kill people, does that mean we should give up flying, or that planes don't fly?

Your Disc Theory fails you. The speed at which the gases are moving would rip anyone's skin clean off their bones before you can say "oh sh..."
At that rate, nothing forms (ie: your planets suddenly "disappear") and you have to adhoc it and make some other excuse as to how the planets form (like remains of an enormous asteroid belt used to revolve around here and they "smash" together to give us mercury, then venus, earth etc. etc.)

like i said, Your Disc Theory fails you.

People don't worship airplanes. Evolution however...
