Everytime I try to listen to you guys to maybe, possibly, believe in god or jesus, you throw some ****ing rhetoric like this out and I can no longer listen to what you say with any respect.

You might as well go say hi to the Iraqi Information Minister
What? it's true. Alright, If evolution did happen, then why are there still monkeys and apes hanging around?

You guys always use that argument, and there was a time when there were both types of species before the weaker one died.

We're in a transition period, that's all.


IN other words.
The Black mouse is better than the White Mouse. The White mouse and the Black Mouse continue to live together, side by side, while the Black Mouse furthers it's evoluationary path and the White Mouse is stuck on it's current course. Until finally, after an unspecified amount of time, the White Mouse dies.

Just because they lived together at the same time doesn't mean the Black mouse didn't evolve.

Evolution doesnt mean something dies the instant another more advanced form is put into circulation. It could mean something as simple as a warmer fur coat for winter, for an animal, over it's previous generation. Then, over the course of time that animal has less cold-related deaths and eventually the one with the weak fur dies.

It's not an instant thing.
And if you look. Monkey's populations *are* dwindling.

Where did they get a different date from if the world has been keeping track of his birth ever since he was born?
NVS...you're an idiot. first of all the whole world has not been keeping track since J.C's birth...christians have. what year is it in china right now? what he is saying about the yard stick makes perfect sense. we use a measurement so much that it has become a standard. same thing with the year, since every once doesn't want to be late for thier final exam, they all agree that today is 4/29/03 or whatever the date may be. who cares that it is AD...there was B.C. before it. the idea that people using it proves God's existence is a fualty one, what if i changed it so that is was B.W.C.( before wushu_civic) and A.W.C.(after wushu_civic), people might use this as a standerd, but it only proves i was here not who i am. sorry for such a long rant, and i think i should mention that i do believe in GOD, and i am a christian. i just don't agree with your arguement. i think that people should realize that it is entirely possible that GOD created evolution. by saying that evolution is impossible is saying that GOD can't do something.

You have any pics of a hunched-back caveman halfway through the evolution process? No one's ever found skeletal remains of any such thing, although rumors spread. The neanderthal was later diagnosed as an old man with sever arthritis.

If God exists. And God is all powerful. Can God create a stone so heavy that even God can't lift it?



The point of that question is that anyway you answer it, you disprove the existance of god.

the question is good in theory, however, we must realize we don't have the slightest comprehension of God. He is NOT a human, so lifting rocks is completely irrelevant. Animate objects are no obsticle. It is our (as humans) attempt to try and bring him to our level to try and personalize him and humanize him, but its not a human. It doesn't even have a form. Trying to "disprove" its existance by saying something like that is just rediculous.

It's impossible to "disprove" the existance of a God...atleast until we die.

they have found plenty of skeletal remains of evolutionary process of humans. that's why they have all those homo-erectus, homo-sapian type names and skeletons. where did this old man with arthritis stuff come from? where did you get info about this?

i like that question...i guess i would asnwer it as he would create a stone, but after it's creation he would be able to lift it. that question wouldn't disporve the existence of god...just the all powerful stuff

So then he couldn't create a stone that even he *couldnt* lift, because after he created it, he'd be able to lift it.
