What about what comes right after? Hilarious that you get to pick and choose what you want from the Bible to attempt to disprove it, yet if I went into your precious writings of all the 'brilliant' minds who have been unable to prove a theory that they hold so dear to. That I could make it say whatever I wanted to as well.

See, you go back into Leviticus and you're taking it as law, but what you don't know, or don't understand, is that the Old Testament law wasn't done away with but it was however fulfilled with the blood sacrifice of Jesus. So he fulfilled these things, where in does it say to hate the gay? No where, it does however say that homosexuality is detestable, and why were they to be killed? For the blood...but see Jesus already paid that sacrifice, so now they can live, and have the opportunity to come to forgiveness.

It's also funny how you can not understand translations, especially when people translate the bible from a translation, those are irrelevant. In Exodus they're talking about if he beats his slave to death, that's not cool. If he beats his slave to the point where he can recover, then that's okay because he's only hurting his own property. See, that's part of culture, and in fact you can't understand that what was being said there, is if you keep killing your slaves, you're going to get yours, so be better to them.

Ah, I've spent enough time here. You will attempt to refute things you don't understand with things that are simple.

Proverbs 1 you should check it out.

You act as if the warnings aren't there, that as if God is trying to trick people so he can be 'mean' and punish people.

You're just going to sit here and keep calling me names, telling me how stupid I am, yet never being able to disprove anything I say. It's funny how that works, you get mad cause you have no proof that God doesn't exist, and you resort to the playground tactics yet again and call me indirectly a 12 yr. old.

Good luck to you, and all of yours. For your sake I hope you're right, but when the time comes, don't say no one tried to tell you about Jesus.

keep justifying violence and bigotry however you like and lol at your jesus comment

Sometimes it really freaks me out to realize how much of the world is so blindly religious. I don't get how some people can be seem so normal and then out of the blue just have some completely irrational belief.

Believing in a God or Gods is alright, even though it makes no sense. But actually subscribing to an organized religion like christianity and believing the bible is truth, that is just lol (and also frightening when so much of the world is like that).

But im sure your local pastor has every detail pinned down so keep listening to him...

I can only assume that you emphasize the word 'theory' here out of a mistaken belief that the word 'theory' carries the same connotations in the world of science as it does in our everyday use of the word. That is, of being an unproven, undetermined or hypothetical belief. And therefore allowing you to dismiss evolution as "just a theory!"

No, it is as factual of "a theory" as the THEORY of gravity, or the THEORY of atoms or the THEORY of germs.

Sadly in order to tell you that this isn't worthy of a response, I must respond, but I respond only to tell you that you're wrong.

See Rocket, if you don't believe in any of these other gods, why is it so difficult to not believe in just one LESS god?

Yep, I believe only in my local pastor, that's it, he tells me everything I need to know...oh wait. This isn't a cult...

Watch how I can flip this, just like you guys try to make everything our fault:

Sometimes it really freaks me out to realize how much of the world is so blindly hateful towards religion. I don't get how some people can be seem so normal and then out of the blue just have some completely irrational belief.

I'm curious, why do you think evolution is a lie or conspiracy or false? Or better yet, what did your pastor say? Because i bet money that you didn't just arrive to this conclusion by researching yourself.

These other 'gods' like 'the sun god' or 'the wind god' 'the rain god' all of those are simply compromised of 1 God. The creator of the universe, the maker of all things, yes, even you. Just because they understand that there is a higher power, doesn't mean they're wrong, just means that they're calling God, by multiple names, which is fine with me. God has many names...

can you also provide some examples of bad russian lit? and what do you mean by government hand outs?

im not in the highest income level this year, but im certainly way above the average and id be happy to pay more taxes. i also volunteered about 500 hours last year.

It seems as thought I hit a nerve. That being said, I can assume that I was more right than you want to admit. haha.

Also, I admit to being a proud member of the GOP. I must confess I have never had a Hungry Man in my life, but that is probably because I make more in a month than you make in a year. Yeah, I am one of those GOPers...the other kind...the ones you really hate. You know, the ones that are grossly successful in all aspects of their lives. The ones that you can't stand because you feel they are inferior in every way, yet somehow have more of everything...lol. I'll pray for you little one. Your kind are so cute. : )

My pastor doesn't have anything to do with it. I went to school, I listened to the science teachers, and still no one can give good reasoning behind evolution having not changed humans in the last 6,000+ years. I mean if you want to believe that a gigantic collision happened and from there grew this complexity fine, do your thing. But how you can see that as reasonable is just pure madness.

I mean, by now with all the car crashes etc shouldn't we have spawned at least a few miniature solar systems by now? Those impacts of things hitting the earth and leaving craters a mile wide, shouldn't that have done something for us? I mean seriously, how can people just say, oh well Darwin saw life happening, and realized that people and animals can adapt, oh boy, lets postulate a theory, that to this day can't be proven.

Ok so answer this. If you took two cats and breed them 1 billion times (impossible but necessary for the argument), what do you end up with? Do you honestly think that one of those billion times will yield a dog, or a moose, or a whale? You may get a different color, or one that has a mutation, but the DNA cannot change to something completely different. Evolution is not possible. Adaptation is. Learn the difference.
