He is so stupid that he has chanted the mantra “I have no redeeming qualities” for 1200 pages and still it hasn’t sunken in. He still thinks by chanting it a few more times it would somehow inspire people to some nonexistent redeeming quality in him.

Ha. His current claim that he doesn't endorse slavery is demolished by his claim that his god was right to endorse slavery. It is a joke. not a good one.

What Jesus had to say is of utmost importance to me.  I've been studying it since my mother began reading the Bible to me at birth almost.  Also, no, I am not descendant of a monkey.

That's the problem. YOU are convinced.
But you should be aware that the fact that you're convinced is not assurance that the world functions as you are convinced it does. As such, you should be humble (and, if I remember my Indiana jones, being humble is a big plus for your religion) and let there be some doubt in the way you present your point of view.

And nothing of what you've given us can provide such a certainty as the one you have concerning this DNA business. Sure, the DNA "machinery" is impressive. Sure it is complex. Sure it seems to encode the blueprints for a living organism. But, and this has been said a million times, that does not give you any assurance of how this "machinery" came into being.
Science postulates an approach based on evolving structures. There is also no 100% certainty, but the mechanism is plausible and relies only on chemistry. Chemistry which is known to work in particular ways... often complex.
The mechanism that you are certain of is... unknown?.. just that some super entity has to be responsible for it. "Has to be" because you can't imagine such complexity arising through natural means. But your lack of imagination need not correlate with reality.
So, some humility, CDF, please.

I humbly state the facts.  I stand firm on my beliefs though.

This quote covers it I think.


“What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.”

― Mark Twain 

CDF "knows for certain" something which is not true.
He will say "na ha that's you that is" but he has been proven wrong on every page of this thread. Every page.

No, I haven't.

It was never a scientific thread. The vast majority of scientists think this is hogwash. 
And of course, like all religionists, you twist your little tale to make your particular cult look like the winner.

Yes, it was.  Re-read the OP.

I know this is an emotional topic but I haven't attacked you personally.  Just bringing you some facts you may not have been aware of.  Some may like them and others may not but it's not a personal attack.

There are reasons for the enslavement.  The slaves and the masters are to serve God.  There were many regulations for it.

Explain how I am trolling.  Look up the definition of trolling please.

Trolling – (verb), as it relates to internet, is the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument.

I am not making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction.  I am simply discussing what I feel is the most important topic to discuss.

Ceedeez Why do you always bury your replies to me in walls of texts? FSM weeps.
