[quote]But with their Fall, sin entered the world and God cursed the world so that perfect creation then began to degenerate and everything suffered decay and death.[/quote] Everything? Including flora and fauna which are reborn every year?
[quote]These children would have not recieved any imperfect genes from Adam and Eve since the effects of sin and the curse would have been minimul to start as it takes time for these errors to accumulate. So, in this situation, brother and sister could have married with God's approval without any potential to produce deformed or diseased offspring. Over thousands of years this degeneration would have produced all sorts of genetic mistakes. [/quote] Yeah, that pesky Evol
[quote]The Catholic Chruch is the Mystical Body of Christ.[/quote] And you eat his body. Cannibals.
[quote]Creationists claim that "Intelligent Design" does not require a god. Then they claim that since evolution doesn't require a god, it's "secular humanism".[/quote] Then Intelligent Design must be secular humanism.
[quote]A very interesting debate Infidel. I am enjoying it.[/quote] Thanks.
[quote]We believe the creation story has been replaced with a theory that cannot be proven and is nothing more than secular humanism. Neither can creation be proven or reenacted. One theory is just as plausible as the other. [/quote] Or implausible. Thank you for admitting that the Bible story is possibly flawed.
[quote]I don't see why this is difficult.[/quote] It isn't. They're just blowing smoke.
[quote]I am against teaching religion in public schools[/quote] You had to say that so you can justify wanting Creationism taught as science instead of religion.
[quote]I totally accept using the Bible as historical literature for the time periods where it was actually written by people who saw what was happening, but not for time periods thousands of years before that written down as hearsay no matter the source.[/quote] But the Creationist people don't believe that the Earth is that old, or did I misunderstand?
[quote]we've had this discussion before. [/quote] And yet here she is again, hoping for a different result.
[quote]The vast majority found about 90 % of the public desired that both creation and evolution or creation only be taught in the public schools.[/quote] [quote]Although the vast majority of Americans desire both creation and evolution taught in school, [/quote] [quote] Another survey of nearly 2,400 science students at Ohio State University found 47 % did not believe Darwin’s theory and fully 80 % felt that if Darwin&rsquo
[quote]And the racism in illegal immigration comes from 2 sides. The first is obvious as soon as you get into a debate with a liberal that really has not thought about the issue and just pulls a knee jerk talking point from his quiver of barbs. They apparently think that one race (in this case they assume, incorrectly, that all illegals are Mexicans - or when caught on that racist statement, Hispanic, or when caught on that racist statement, Latino - all are still racist and false). Clearly t
What does any of that have to do with A. The court rulings, and B. The repeated attempts to get a different ruling? Quote all the statistics you want. [quote]Why does so much opposition exist in the US courts and among scientists to teaching both theories of origins when, according to all extant surveys, the majority of not only parents but also often teachers are in favour of the two-model approach? [/quote] Because the courts and scientists are smarter tha
Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". Epperson v. Arkansas , 393 U.S. 97 (1968), was a United States Supreme Court case that invalidated an Arkansas statute that prohibited the teaching of human evolution in the public schools. The Court held that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits a state from requiring, in the word
[quote] I'll let you count up the number of years each party had control of the Congress, so you can judge for yourself who had the greater influence on policy and laws we live under today.[/quote] At the federal or state level?
[quote]You've got to commend their efforts (even if you disagree with their policies) that they have done an excellent job of cloaking their intentions from the 1960's on to the present. It's no small feat to have the people you've oppressed or marginalized for generations, support your cause in such high numbers.[/quote] And the right wasn't smart enough to see it back then? All of those stoned hippies outsmarted your side. If the left ruins America, who's to blame for allowing
[quote]The only way to NOT be a racist is to assume that all non whites are somehow "lesser races" who REQUIRE government instituted discrimination on their behalf to even the odds.[/quote] Oppressed, not lesser, you ignorant conservative. Your choice of words is telling. Who else is going to help them?
Maybe you shouldn't have other people dependant on you.
[quote]Not sure what you mean.[/quote] I'm expanding on your point. How many different kinds of attacks can there be?
[quote] I just couldn't figure how they could keep a show based on terrorist attacks going for so many seasons. I mean seriously, how many more terrorist attacks could there be, especially in a show that last only 24 hours?[/quote] How many different kinds of attacks?
[quote]Infidel, so was mine, sorry for leaving out the obligatory ";~D". ;~D[/quote] You mean this part? [quote]many Mexicans are here legally and contribute greatly to our society.[/quote] Why don't we kick out all of the Italians because of the Mafia?
[quote]Infidel, aren't you being a bit racist here? There are illegal aliens from over 100 countries. Why are you singling out the Mexicans? Furthermore, many Mexicans are here legally and contribute greatly to our society. Specific nation of origin is only an issue for those who want to make it one.[/quote] That was sarcasm.
The Mexicans are coming! Run for your lives!
Or maybe you have a knack for not making things clear, like you're Hispanic and which kind of maintenance jobs. There's janitorial and then there's repair.
