Why are other civilizations ignored in the Bible?

[discipulus]

You're free to hope.

Actually, whatever D-P writes is worth reading. You? Not so much.

If what I write is not worth reading, why do you keep reading it and on top of that, responding?

Have you nothing better to do?

You see it is easy to be cynical and dry and sarcastic....that's easy....just about anyone with an imagination can do that....

But to actually write something that is going to encourage and edify someone....

Well now, that is a different matter altogether now is it not?




If I were a betting man....I would wager that DeistPaladin is going to come up with some reason as to why he will not debate me on the contributions of Christianity to the children of the world's nations as opposed to those of atheism.

I mean after all....what are children on an atheistic view of reality??? They are simply offspring of a species that has evolved via natural processes acting on matter. They are intrinsically no different than young rats or young pigs. They are accidental collocations of atoms like everything else that exists. It all came about by random processes acting on matter over a extremely long period of time. There is no ultimate purpose for children no ultimate meaning or destiny. They mature like the rat or pig, reproduce and then die to become food for the worms...

As one atheist wrote in her blog:

We are an animal species: in the primate order, in the mammalian class, in the vertebrate sub-phylum. We are a product of evolution; a product of nature. Yes, we're animals with an unusual ability to shape our environment. But it's an unusual ability -- not a unique one. Other living things have made dramatic physical impacts on the planet as well. Coral, for instance. Earthworms. And, of course, plants. http://gretachristina.typepad.com/greta_...nimal.html

So there are young earthworms, young coral and young plants and young humans aka children.....

So I mean really......
