Vanity of vanites all is vanity...nothing new under the sun.

Nothing new from creationists because there is no need for us to try to "Sell" God as do the evolutionists try to sell science...science is mans attempt to cast light into the darkness.

Faith is a personal matter for the individual...the theory of Evolution...well good luck with that....to me you are the encapsulation of "Doubting Thomas"...you will not, absolutly not, believe unless you see it, touch it, taste it...yet you are living by faith already....just your faith holds no particuliar hope of any kind of any real future. Your faith tells you, your born,you die, and and that's the finite end.

Most intrepretations of the bible are so clinical and sanitary that most cannot not get to the deeper understanding of what is spoken....it is very clear to one who can hear.

It speaks of other creatures and other domains not bound at all by time or death....Death is the door we will all pass thru soon and that is where in the back of the evolutionists mind he is really scared. Some may think they will be able to just hedge there bets and believe at the final moment and God will welcome you in to the Kingdom at the last moment...it does not work that way is all....all the "Old" examples are there....this one is the example of Noah.....when the rain begins to fall ,and you ain't in the boat, it's already too late.

A true believer does not get excited over these types of conversations at all to the contrary again...most of you are the perfect example of the following passages...a true believer lives by this...we pray for all of you. Passage 7:6 I say to the Christians here to read and understand and do not be disheartned but learn this parable.

Matthew 7
King James Bible

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Peace and Merry CHRISTmas all you heathens... lol jk

You have no problem believing all that, but you don't buy the 40 virgins thing?!

"Though shall not kill", unless Uncle Sam says so.

Actually it should read "Thou shalt not murder", a distinction some folks don't understand.

Should it?
Based on which version of the bible?
Since you get lots of cretinists that with their fundamentalist literal interpretations also insist that the KJV is the only real version are you trying to say that the one true version is written wrong?

So you don't believe in the teachings of the bible then Iceman. Thats really funny from someone who calls themselves a christian and believes in creationism because of a bible story.
Then again its par for the course from those that shout about their faith.
Though what is even funnier is you make that claim about not selling God and mention doubters...can you complete the lines that follow this....."Then the eleuen disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountaine where Iesus had appointed them."?
Have a clue, it mentions doubt and involves selling God around the world.

Evolution != atheism. And atheists don't have faith, they just (usually) require that claims be backed up by evidence or reason, crazy idea, I know.

Do we know more about the universe than the authors of the bible did, or do we know less?

If something was written in extremely problematic texts compiled by a bunch of ignorant men 3000 years ago, does that mean it must be true? Are all those other ancient holy books that make contradictory claims true as well?
