Jesus Christ walked the earth for 33 years, taught, healed, and ministered to His people. He died on a cross for the sins of all, was buried in a tomb, and on the third day after he was killed, was resurrected, and lives today.

He is fully God, was fully human, and is our Savior.

You may recieve his Spirit tonight by confessing your sin and accepting him as your Lord and Savior.

May God bless you.

Amen.
I put on my rubber boots, then said, "no, rubber boots aren't called for" and then pulled up my trout-fishing waders!!!

Let me see if I have your fable right, in principle.

Your perfect, all knowing, loving, entirely-competent creator made man and woman, but did such a crappy job they they soon pissed him off so much that he damned not only them, but all other men, women and animals, to lives of torment, pain and misery, to punish them for exhibiting the flaws he incorporated in them??

Tell me, Mr. Harrier, just what are you being saved from? And why would sky-daddy need to send his only son to wipe out sins and save us from, well, himself.

Did he tell Jesus to "go down and save those people from..... ME, 'cause if you don't, I'm sending them all to hell forever"?

You may want to go back a year or two among the archives to see the subject discussed then ... maybe even involving you .... I really don't recall, as you monkey people all sing the same La La song so it's really hard to distinguish between you.

But to your point ... I don't acknowledge these exercises in after-the-fact excuse making and attempts to rehabilitate the theory on the fly by whatever terminology is selected .. be it "Punctuated Equilibrium", or "Island Theory", or an assortment of others, as legitimate or relevant to the fundamental basis of Darwinian Evolution Theory. Primarily because, first, the fraud of it is obscenely obvious, and two, these conjectures are not based on anything other than a desire to shield the theory from mortal wounds. So those excuses are of no value to me because their purpose is to stifle rational objections to the conjecture and supposition that makes up the body of Darwinism. In other words .... you don't get to change the rules halfway through the game, just because you have a losing hand!

Here is something that perhaps you should chew on: We know more today than we did yesterday. Will will know tomorrow more than we know today. This is actually good.

Until you figure out how to grasp that simple concept you will remain imprisoned in the acrid miasma of your furious bigotry.
Bigotry? I think you need a dictionary ... disagreeing with you is not related in any manner to bigotry. Neither is finding such a concept of virtue among the mainstream scientific dictatorship in this country a thoroughly laughable suggestion ... the oh so virtuous cabal of white coated ghouls whose tinkering with genetics has produced nothing but unpredictable threats to the entire biosphere .... their black kettles bubbling over with poisonous pharmaceuticals ... their screwing around with the atmosphere ... and the long list of preposterous pseudoscientific "facts and theories" whose true purpose is to reduce the intellectual capacity of the public to that of a garden vegetable, for which they believe themselves to be remotely related. Those who would attempt to offer a more promising intellectual outcome to the evolved monkeys are scoffed at by these illustrious man-apes. Brilliant nitwits, whose one and only response to being challenged with rational thinking are childish insults, which guarantees that they WILL NOT be smarter tomorrow than they were today .... with the odds on probability that they will most likely leave this word dumber than the day they arrived in it.

Eh...

...There are a few kooky scientists trying to do just that.

...They are trying to create a living thing from scratch.

Not much... the vast majority of the Bible's stories and fables are copies from other stories. It's a common accusation that the Bible is just a rehashing of earlier myths.

Wow - over 30 pages later and STILL not one shred of evidence supporting theory of evolution.
You are refusing to look.

Easily refuted in the same manner.
In that case, you ought to provide proof for what you asserted in the post to which i responded.

i know what I said is true.
