pastor Ryan explained to me how Satan tempted me. I have seen the error of my ways. Praise Jesus and his ultimate mercy!!!
I do find it amusing that you can't tell a parody of fundamentalism from genuine fundamentalism until the person in question claims to abandon it.

The limitations of forum interaction make it all too easy to pretend to be something, and I don't invest myself so much that I worry about taking someone seriously when they were just trolling.

"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."
