Maybe in a few years. Hope to speak? with you again, someday. God Bless…
I’m familiar with Ross’ work. He’s an idiot whose been attacked on all fronts for making absurd claims. You need some better? resources of information than a psuedo-intellectual and some Christian websites.
It’s laughable that you would claim that he? did not win. Show me a debate in which he loses. You clearly known nothing about evolution if you don’t understand that micro evolution is observable and evolution is unanimously accepted by the scientific community. Life was never exterminated completely, or we wouldn’t have it now, for fuck’s sake. Don’t talk about the cambrian explosion like it was a nuclear holocaust. You know nothing of what you speak.
Cont. Hugh Ross,? a scientist, answers many of these questions. His papers, Dr. Ross said, are at reasons.org, if you can find them. Getting harder and harder. He is so intellectual. Evangelizes other scientist and University types. It is just so much easier to believe that age old lies about Creation. Most do not want to believe. If they did have proof, what would they do with their lives? They do not want to change, to humble themselves to God. They do not understand; that is where the joy is
Hitchens did not win, he just refused to believe, to accept the truth. Most atheist scientist cannot answer the question; Where did we come from? They still refuse to accept the fact that biologist, thru studies, say it is impossible for man to evolve from mere cells to what we are today. They say the Earth has not been her long enough for that to? happen; NOT COUNTING THE FACT THAT LIFE WAS COMPLETELY EXTINGUISH SEVERAL TIME ON EARTH.They cannot explain the Cambrian Explosion. We have Big Bang.
Couldn’t*
?
No, but you have to understand that those who have read the bible and see that evolution is not compatible with the new Earth ideology that the church once endorsed and that your religion demands that you believe. Also, why is it that Christians haven’t won the theological debate if they’re so well informed? Why did Hitchens die without losing a debate to one of the many? religious people he debated? I’m sorry that I could respond to everything you’ve said, but you haven’t made one good point.
Yes, vast majority do not believe in God. Also vast majority of people. That does not make them right. All the questions man has about life and purpose are found only in the Word? of God. You did not spend much time at those sites. Most people spend more time planning a vacation, than they do planning for eternity. Reason most do not know God.
The only mass flood that took place around that area was during the time of Mesopotamia, and I believe it was an Assyrian prince or king who rode a barge to safety and sacrificed a lamb on a mountain. The vast majority of scientists, historians and University professors disbelieve in any god, and many? historians speak out against the lies in the bible. There is much misinformation therein, so maybe you should do some research besides ask.com. I’ve looked at these sites, and they are all false.
Well to them it was the whole world. Lots of? archaeological evidence for me, but not for others. Takes some Faith. Also study in many other areas, beside the flood. If proof was everywhere and easy to see, even then people wold not believe. I really do not care about the flood. There is so much evidence in other places. reasons.org, Bible prophecy, Bible answers. bible archaeology. there are dozens, maybe hundreds of sites. But people CHOOSE to not look. Choose not to test the Bible.
I may not know much about the bible, but I do know that argument is bullshit. Eye witnesses to people hundreds of years ago? means nothing unless they were credible historians. The story of Jesus’ birth had been floating around the Mediterranean for about a thousand years before Christ. Horus was spoken of in the Egyptian book of the dead and shared a very, very similar life.
First of all, no flood in that region ever? took place that would indicate to them that the whole world was flooded. Secondly, I believe the bible says that the world was flooded, and god is not limited to the knowledge of man.
Dead sea scrolls have been studied for fifty yeas. Never proved wrong. Eyewitnesses to Romans, Greeks, and others.So you do not believe any of them existed? Middle ages did not exist? Alexander did not exist? Bible was written by 45 completely different people over a 1500 yrs. Yet is harmonizes perfectly. Most New Testament written within living memory? of those who knew Christ. Paul’s around 30 top 55 AD. After Christ died. Most other books too.
Much mis information about the Ark. It contained animals needed for living. Not every creature on earth. Flood was regional not world wide. But to those who lived at that time, the world was flooded. Rome was said to rule the World. But no one knew about other continents at that time. So writers thought is was the whole? world. No penguins in the Arc and such. Every creature of that region. Marine engineers say Arc dimensions are perfect for that type of craft. Visit reasons.org, explore.
Christian, yes. Thought that was obvious. Life? is too precious to spend it lost in a drug induced stupor. Your right that eventually many drugs will become legal. I am saying it is not good for people. Simple. Like immigration, granting amnesty will lead to more and more illegal’s. I have seen two amnesties in my life time all it does is encourage more. Drugs the same thing. Legalizing drugs will lead to more and more drug use. More dependents on others, taking care of the sick, brain damaged.
Nice bullshit. Too bad you completely avoided my point and you still need to answer? what I said. I really hate that circumnavigating bullshit religious people do.
There is nothing divine about this bullshit. Noah’s ark is a story that is physically impossible for many reasons, and the apostle Peter warns of the? apostle Paul. Co-authors of an infallible document contradicting each other is pretty obvious evidence that it’s bullshit.
