About actual scientific theory and method?

You'd think it would be the other way around. Your god takes a dim view of Humans, after all. My earlier statement may have been a bit mean, but I thougth it was a nice little jokey joke at the time. For something serious, I'd say just take a look at things that bother you about yourself, and work on them. You know you better than anyone. except maybe your god, I suppose.

You are pathologically obtuse. If this is just a sophomoric debate tactic, please stop. If you are naturally this way, you have my pity.

If all you can contribute to a morality discussion is "everything God does is good", please relegate yourself to the children's table until the adults change the subject.

Edit: I think your request is sincere and kudos worthy.

No I got the jokey part, I thought it was humorous. I simply want to share a bit-o- humor myself. In that the things I use to hate, I now love, and prize. Nothing changed except my perception. My perception changed because God took these socially negitive qualities and has used them to set me apart.

Which is most of what i do here.. I try and provide a different perspective on things that you all seem to know everything about.

Is asking questions what you are refering to here? (being obtuse?)

I ask simple question to get you people to think a little differently. (Jesus asked alot of questions as a method of teaching as well.) It is obvious that you current thought process has you where you currently are.

As far as morality is concern my comments usally center around the fact that it is an ever changing (declining) standard based on pop culture, as such God in the eyes of a truly 'moral man' will never be found 'moral.' Primarily because 'morality' is always the lessor of two evils. When in fact God is free of sin or evil.

I think you have me confused with someone else.

RE: Critique Time!
Drich, I'm new, but here are some thoughts:

What are you trying to accomplish by participating here?
- converting atheists to Christianity?
- correcting misunderstandings about Christianity?
- confirming your faith by winning arguments with atheists?
- converting yourself to atheism?
- having fun?

If you are trying to convert atheists to Christianity, have you ever succeeded?

If you are trying to correct misunderstandings about Christianity, has anybody ever thanked you for the information?

Improve your spelling. I notice that you misspell many of the same words in the same way, which means that they aren't typos, you just spell them wrong. I don't know which OS or browser you use, but most of the ones I've seen running in Windows/Linux/Mac will spell-check automatically.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

An example is a year or so ago it was brought to my attention that some of my nick names for some of you are off putting.. So I have made an effort to stop using them.

Is there anything else that needs to go on my new years resolution list?

Yeah, I have one.

Stop going around and insisting that you are a source of "biblically-based answers". You are a source of "answers based on Drich's personal interpretation of the Bible", and are objectively are no more accurate than the answers I arrive at on my own.

I gotta hand it to you Drich, asking these guys for tips is the nearest thing I can think of, to walking into my wife's kitchen closet blindfolded.
