That was parody. Not plagiarism.

He didn't. What would lead you to hallucinate that he did?

That's why it's a favorite tactic of creationists. It certainly takes less effort that assembling a genuine argument.

Each and every one deceptively ripped from context.

And removed from their context, as you damn well know. It's a seriously dishonest tactic - you're mooching off the reputation of people who actually worked to add to humanity's knowledge, and using it to spread your special brand of ignorance. You - well, whoever lifted those quotes, nobody belives you've actually read anything by Gould - is being intentionally deceitful.

Why not cite the scientific luminaries who actually oppose the ToE? Oh, that's right - your side don't really have any worth citing, do you?

Next question?
Well done - and the whale has always lived in the water - it was never a cow in a previous incarnation.

The design process is spectacular in all living things. NOTHING? - CREATED everything!

PROVE IT ?- you can't!

There are only TWO choices - just two - no other choices exist in this world.

Jesus Christ was a bigger liar than Obama

Jesus Christ was who HE CLAIMED HE WAS.

He either told the truth or.............he lied about everything.

No other choices exist.

Too many people wrote about HIM 'outside' of the bible! He is indeed a historical figure of fact; The apostle Paul is an historical figure also in fact: And more books are written about paul than any other person on this earth. EXPLAIN THAT -

All my children believe - because of what they have experienced!! I believe because of what I have experienced.

Jesus said in John chapter 10 My sheep know my voice... I call my sheep by name!!

You responded to it - are you losing memory - or being willfully ignorant?

LOL - why is that? What could the context possibly be that would make those rather clear and unequivocal statements against evolution mean the exact opposite?
