Hilarious!

Really! What about the fact that people from past centuries were different in stature than we are today? Evolution at work.

How do you explain that human's IQ quotients have been increasing by three points per decade? Do you think that god is making us smarter? If you do, then why do non believers on average reside at the top of the IQ list?

While we may not have evolved physically on the outside...one can truly see that we've evolved consciously over the centuries...going from barbaric savages to more compassionate human beings...so there is evidence.

Oops, you are wrong again...You should be embarrassed...
In today's news.

People who live in high latitude regions have bigger eyeballs and brains than other individuals, according to new research.

The increase in brain and eye size allows people to see better in places that receive less light than areas closer to the equator, according to the new study, published in the latest issue of the journal Royal Society Biology Letters. Polar people have bigger eyes and brains › News in Science (ABC Science)

Well, son of a gun, I have Betty Davis eyes so that must mean the reason I can't find a dang hat to fit my head is because of my brain size.

Yup, apparently bigger eyes require a bigger brain to make them work properly. Bigger brain = bigger skull (head).

And since this is about Christianity ... you must be implying that most immoral people are Christians. Maybe it will be good to have a new OP about the people who Jesus associated with, who the people of the church of Corinth were.
I was going to leave this thread completely alone.... Until this.

First of all, have you ever read the passage in the Bible that states; "One day is as a thousand years, to God"? In other words, the "days of creation" are actually RELATIVE PERIODS OF TIME, not actual days as such. Also, since God created everything in the universe, which of the celestial bodies was his standard for a single day? Here on earth, one day is 24 hours. But, on the moon, one day goes on for 672 hours. Other planets have days of varying lengths. Which one determined the length of his day? Suppose one of God's days is actually 750 million years long. Evolution becomes an instrument of God's creation. If you don't mind, please tell us just who you are to limit God to a 24 hour day?

For that matter, do a little research into the religions prior to the flood. (Hebrews didn't come along until about 1000 years after the flood of Noah) But, the Biblical data from that period is the same as the earlier religion. Even creation, with a few minor variations.

LOL! Have mercy, what are we even talking about? I've always been teased about my eyes........it was more of a cow syndrome I think more than Betty Davis eyes....I think she had blue eyes anyway and I don't.
