A few commandments 99% of Christians completely ignore:

1. Pray if you are sick...dont go to the doctor else you have NO FAITH in god: James 5:14

2. Gouge out your eyeballs if they cause you to lust. Every Christian should be eyeless: Matthew 5:29

3. Cut off your hands if you have committed ANY sin with them: Matthew 5:30

4. Never swear an oath...why do Christians get so upset about God being removed from the Pledge of Allegiance if they aren't allowed to take an oath?: Matthew 5:34

5. Dont defend yourself if attacked. When was the last time you seen a Christian turn the other cheek?: Matthew 5:39

6. Give anything you have to anyone who asks: Matthew 5:42

7. Dont pray in public: Matthew 6:6

8. Dont save money...I am guessing retirement accounts like IRAs are super evil: Matthew 6:19

9. Give away ALL your possessions: Luke 14:33

G13, Eliseus, and Glenzig...why are you ignoring the word of God? Is it too inconvenient for you? Shouldnt you be eyeless, handless, dirt poor, and dead from disease? Please send you all your money and possessions to me. I asked and according to Matthew you have to oblige.

That's not actually what faith is. But ok.

Check the dictionary, dipshit.

The sheer weight of scientific ignorance exposed by this thread is staggering. I suppose a lot of it can be blamed on the proliferation of "anti-evolution" sites such as answersingenesis.org that spread disinformation, create strawmen and post outrageous lies concerning the science behind the fact and theory of biological evolution.

For example:

• Confusing the casual use and scientific use of the word "theory".

A scientific theory is based on plentiful and coherent evidence, and while it may be modified, is accepted as the best current explanation of empirical evidence by a consensus of the scientific community. The Theory of Gravity is one such example, Electrical Theory another.

• Falsely claiming that any evidence of biological evolution must include observed speciation.

Biological evolution in its simplest form can be summed up in a single sentence: Changes in the frequency of alleles in a population over time. That this process happens is a scientifically established fact, observed countless times both in a laboratory and in the wild.

I could go on, but I'm not into building a wall of text. For a more comprehensive list of misconceptions and disinformation you can visit this site.

You can call science a religion, and I can call a dog a caterpillar, but it would not change the essence of either. Religion is based on faith and belief, while science is based on a coherent, falsifiable interpretation of empirical evidence.

Religion should remain within the purview of the religious community and science within the purview of the scientific community.

Failing that, if you want to argue against biological evolution at least take the time to familiarize yourself with the scientific fact and theory that defines it. Anything from Kent Hovind and company doesn't count. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Nice picture of Kent. Amazing how an absolutely batshit crazy halfwit can look so benign in a photo.

Tell me how a bible scholar such as yourself would interpret these passages then:

James 5:14- Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

Matthew 5:29- If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

Matthew 5:30- And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

Matthew 5:34- But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God

Matthew 5:39- But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matthew 5:42- Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

Matthew 6:6- But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:19- Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal

Luke 14:33- So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple

Face it, you are a sinner and are not welcome in God's kingdom.
