Actually, I believe it should be Buddy Guy's "Mary had a little lamb"... He did it first  and ain't no one gonna beat Buddy Guy... Not even someone as great as Stevie Ray Vaughan.

We'll have to agree to disagree there, frankie. I love the original, but feel that SRV put something magical into his version.

Buddy Guy, in my opinion, is the best guitarist since the old delta blues players...

I saw BB King in St. Louis, at his eponymous club. Great barbecue in St. Louis, incredible blues.

Just a quick side note on what IMO genesis meant by this, is that the hu man being is created in Gods image. The homo sapien is merely an animal vessel for the human being.
It is said that humanity on this planet is half human, half animal and it is true. Only the animal like attributes of humanity commit negativity and have no morals, just like the animal does in the wild. Only the human part of the human being reflects God in compassion, love, and understanding, the attributes that the animal does not have. Such attributes are attributes of God.

In speaking to atheists, this is always a point of contention, and too much time is spent on discussing whether or not what I’ve provided is evidence rather than on the real subject. Below are the dictionary definitions of the word…
ev·i·dence /ˈɛvɪdəns/ Show Spelled [ev-i-duhns] Show IPA noun, verb,-denced, -denc·ing.
–noun
1. that which tends to prove or disprove something; ground for belief; proof.
2. something that makes plain or clear; an indication or sign: His flushed look was visible evidence of his fever.
3. Law. data presented to a court or jury in proof of the facts in issue and which may include the testimony of witnesses, records, documents, or objects.
Note the terms ‘ground for belief’ and ‘an indication or sign.’ If a meteorologist discovers that rain in one region is evidence of something, and the lack of rain in another region is evidence of something else, and from these observations he forms a theory, then what he has observed is in fact evidence. What I’m about to provide is no different. I have made an observation about something that is real and tangible around us. Therefore, what I am providing is in fact evidence. Basically, I am claiming that there’s evidence all around us that God exits.
I should note that while I believe in God, I am not an extreme bible belt fundamentalist. I believe in evolution, and I am not unique in this. Roughly 40% of Christians in America believe in evolution. We just see it as part of God’s plan. The point is that I’m not here to argue against evolution, but to argue for the existence of God.
I will always speak to you in a civil manner. Atheists, who pride themselves as being intellectually superior to believers, should be able to provide intelligent arguments without profanity and name-calling. Light bantering and snide comments are okay; sometimes that’s part of the fun. But any disrespectful responses will be immediately ignored, regardless of how intelligent your point is.
Atheists love to use the word ‘refuted’ a lot. Just because you say my argument has been refuted doesn’t mean it has been. I warn you that I am a tough cookie, and I’ll likely have an answer for just about anything you post. So if you’re easily frustrated, perhaps you should not participate in this discussion.
Without further ado, here’s the evidence: Humans are the only species, out of millions of species, which have evolved into an intelligent life form. Other species live pretty much to eat and sleep -- survival. If our evolution were only a result of natural selection, shouldn’t other species, or even just one, have evolved into intelligent beings after millions of years? But the fact is that no other species have been able to develop science, literature, art, music and intelligent thought process as humans have. Isn’t this evidence that God exists?
Yes it is, and for several reasons. For one thing it corroborates what’s written in the bible, which is that God created man in his image, and that animals are inferior. But to truly understand why my evidence points towards a deity one needs to be able to appreciate the grandness of this gift that is human intelligence. And you have to ask yourself, why are we the only species, out of millions, that have achieved this type of intelligence? Evolution is about natural selection, but shouldn’t at least one other species, out of millions, have benefited from intelligence? I think so. And there would be a myriad of other intelligent species if there were no God. If you can appreciate the grandness and uniqueness of human intelligence, then you’ll understand why only humans were given this gift, and you'll know why what I've outlined here points to a God.
There is no way a god can exist.
Time is change.
When the god does anything, there is change, ergo time.
Cannot have infinite regression.
This god's first thought or action is a beginning.
What caused the god's first thought or action?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson
God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Xtian disco jive is all about jeebus ...
stayin' aliiiiiiiiiiii-iiiiiiiiii-iiiiiiive!
If the fucker ever existed, he was human and is as dead as Julius Caesar. At least with Caesar, people can know he existed, understand his (first hand) accounts as well as the accounts of his contemporaries about him, and not have to play make believe to see his successes and failures as a whole. With jeebus, all you get is a bunch of words attributed to him by people who probably never even met him.
If this is the best god can do, I think his IT department needs an overhaul.
