Ark - Page 2

moons i am going back to arguing with you, at least there is some challenge involved.

This fool is in so deep he'll never make it out in one piece.

Usually we let the threads go unanswered and fall down the list and he goes away for a while,
but Ibrahim's thread brought him out of his hole once more.

All of his information comes from the same source and to him that's all that there is.

Apparently he's turning into quite the cry baby also.


 

Romans Chapter 1

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

is extreme stupidity and ignorance a sin?
just asking.

...that is what I found ironic, btw. 

I am neither a creationist, nor an evolutionist; there are holes in both models.  I find the arrogance that goes along with the creation/evolution arguments (in the greater, universal sense) to be pure madness.  Such small insignificant little creatures as ourselves ought to spend more time learning and observing, and less time championing incomplete theories with the purpose of forwarding an agenda. 

Creationism (as defined by its ecclesiastical proponents) - no, I'm not a big fan.  Does that mean that as a Christian I don't view God as the prime mover, no, of course I do. It simply means that I am not foolish enough to think I can constrain God within a box of human thought.

As far as evolution, history actually has a lot to say about science here.  Darwin actually entered the whole conversation riding a particular vector.  The predominant view of his time centered around a fixity of species.  Unsatisfied with this explanation (and rightly so), he proceeded on the shoulders of two men: Thomas Malthus, and Charles Lyell.  Darwin sought to fuse Malthus "struggle for survival", with Lyell's groundbreaking ideas on primordial geology.  Together, the reactionary context and the vector produced the revolutionary, but incomplete theory of natural selection. 

What is most interesting to me regarding evolution/Darwinism/natural selection, is the contradiction which takes place among its biggest fan-boys.  Many people like to blame the imperialist and capitalist entities for pre-WWI colonialism atrocities across the globe.  The truth is, that the scientific rationale and justification for the practice of exploiting indigenous people was Darwinism precisely (more accurately Social Darwinism).  Even more interesting, is the fact that evolution's most prominent flag wavers are Social Darwinism's biggest critics.  Seems as though you can't have your cake and eat.  If your approach to life on this planet is to be strictly empirical, that's fine and dandy, just don't come crying when it bites you in the ***. 

A long way to go just to sit a fence.
 

The Ark!
Where is it?

You know what they say moons; "the truth is usually somewhere in between".
 

Carlin,

One little thing I want to add to your comment, I don't mind what they believe, but they claim it is a fact; when I was in school they (teachers) forced there believe on me telling me that I evolved 4.6 billion year ago.



Shtal.

They?
Who is they?


Seriously,where is the Ark?
I bet cry baby knows.
