Hello and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Welcome, tongue speaker.
When you do it again, try portuguese, record it and send it to me so I can evaluate the authenticity of what you say! Tongue

Seriously. You could walk 10 yards north or south of the highway and shoot a dinosaur movie with no fear of seeing anything man-made in your shot. Desolation? Thou art Route 8.

Sounds a lot like the Texas panhandle...

I'm quoting you out of context because I'm an immature jackass.

Welcome to the forums! Big Grin
"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."

Goodnews, I assume you are a theist. Why then do you say that Christianity teaches the opposite of what the scriptures do? As far as I can tell, there are so many views expressed in the Bible that any teaching can be validated by scripture.
And thanks, Tonus, maybe next time I'll try to be aware of what I'm typing :p.

Understand as you have bean rebelling against the scriptures, and know you choose to rebel against God. The truth of this matter is weather you believe in God or not, your position has not changed as much as you think.

Are you really as fucking stupid as you sound?

I hope it is an act.
