God also created the world's languages at that point too. God doesn't hate homosexuals. In fact, he loves them just as much as straight people. He just hates their sin, and everyone else's sin for that matter. But God certainly does not hate gay people, and neither do I.
I'm Catholic, we don't read the King James Version. And anyone who does is a heretic...btw.

Only my version of the Bible can be right.

What freaking proof do you need?

My guess is, we'll show you a picture of "Lucy" or a dinosaur, or yeah those cave paintings in France...and you'll be like, "so?"

No, I believe they're there, but how do you prove they're 30,000 years old?

Science...radio carbon dating.

Keep listening to Glenny. Clearly you've learned much from him.

Carbon dating is generally a good start. We can prove the rate at which something ages - it's an observable, measurable fact. We can prove the rate at which something degrades - it's an observable, measurable fact. It isn't rocket science, but it is science.

I actually find it very interesting that you will blindly agree with a book full of things that can't be proved... but ignore actual evidence that can be measured and observed.

How do you know the bible has been around more than a couple hundred years? Do you have proof it wasn't written up by some men huddling in a little cabin somewhere say, 200 years before you were born? Have you SPOKEN to someone who was there when it was written? Have you handled the original document from which that copy on your coffee table was translated? Did you read it in the original language and verify your copy is translated correctly?

There's no way to verify that the bible is actually the word of God... but you'll ignore actual documented, measurable, verifiable information proving the world is a hell of a lot older than 6,000 years?

I can't even figure out the mental meanderings it would take for those two thoughts to co-exist inside the same brain.

Rather easily.

Even the tree ring method proves that the world is older than 6,000 years.

Taking the story of Genesis literally is rather foolish, and intelectually dishonest.

Unless you actually believe bats are birds, rabbits eat their cud, and insects only have 4 legs.

Oops. can't change something that doesn't exist.

Homosexuals want to get married for the exact same reasons heterosexuals want to get married.

O.K. you forced my hand...so you want me to show you how it
changes the definition of MARRIAGE..The BIBLE says that the
MARRIAGE BED IS (NOT DEFILED) now if HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE
comes about THE MARRIAGE BED WILL BE DEFILED.....sorry like
I said before I Had HOMOSEXUAL and BI-SEXUALS FRIENDS and
it's not that I'M AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS...even if I think that the
activities that they engage in is wrong..IT'S A ACTIVITIES THAT THEY
ARE ENGAGING IN..AND EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO THEIR"S
FREE WILL.
