  • Oh and by the way many birds evolved from dinosaurs. The chicken and ostrich are examples.

  • Oh gosh .... Seriously? Your one of those!?!? Adaptations are what individual organisms have, like longer beaks, darker fur, lighter skin, better oxygen carrying capacity, etc. Evolution is the change in a population over time. Many ad

  • What I'm talking about aren't adaptations though. Define what you call evolution.

  • 1. I just defined it to you 2. Evolution is a change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.

  • You must have forgotten about the crusades and that thing called the dark ages, where your so called saints, none other than Christians, killed whoever stood in their way of conquest, all in the name of your God. And don't bring up the whole "they repented for their sins" bullshit because first of all, how can a man appointed priest do the work of you all mighty god and pick and choose who they can "save"? Your religion is a joke so stop trying to force your stupid decision of believing down other people's throats.

  • God appointed those apostles and disciples .... So man didn't save himself from anything. It was all divine power granted from God. And yeah the crusades and everything were bad .... Mistakes made by fallible man .... Who can and will chose to work in his own accord and try and be his own boss ... Which leads to failure and greater sin like the examples you mentioned. Anyone can say they are Christian and are doing the work of God when in reality are working from their own accord and are not doing the will of God.

    Ha so you believe all 7 billion people came from one guy and his rib? And they were punished cause the girl are an apple? And that some lady gave birth to a child while being a virgin? (Without the process of insemination, that is.) I don't see why you defend so hastily a religion that is known for oppression and mass genocide just because "eye witnesses from over 3500 years ago" wrote a book, which has been proven to be manipulated by man on numerous occasions. Your "religion" is nothing more than a mere form of control over weak minded people who cannot think on their own. Christians are some of the worst, close minded people I have ever met in my life. How you guys pick and choose what to believe from your bible is disgusting and no less disturbing. The entire bible and religion are outdated and hinder the progress man can make as a technology advanced species.

  • Sorry you have had bad experiences with christians .... There are fake christians out there .... But those that believe the bible don't pick and chose what to believe. Those who actually follow Christ follow the entirety of the bible. Which by our standards we cannot .... We can only hope to be like Christ and in turn he by his grace loves us and saves us. Prove to me where and when and show me proof that the bible has been proven wrong and false .... In fact many people have tried to prove it is false in 2000 years and none have done so. In fact some of those that set out to prove this have actually turned to God after finding they were wrong and that he does truly exist. You can say all you want and bash me or christianity .... But the truth is God exists and is alive .... You'll find out one day but until then you can by free will chose to ignore him and follow your own path. Nobody can stop you .... I'll pray for you and hope one day you'll see the need for salvation. And the apple actually has nothing to do with the first sin .... It's just symbolic .... The reason sin entered into the world was because satan .... ( the serpent ) deceived Eve into thinking God lied .... God said don't eat from the tree for you will die. Not physically but spiritually. Satan said you won't die which in turn Eve wanting to have knowledge " like " God ... ( just like lucifer did in heaven and then was cast out and is now satan ) the fruit in which she ate only gave her knowledge and since then humanity has chosen to rule itself and walk in sin thinking man could save himself instead of relying on his creator and the love, compassion and grace he has for us. I'll be waiting for that example of where, how and when the bible was shown to be manipulated and wrong. Because yeah the bible has different translations; NLT, KJV, NASB etc .... Which are all worded differently .... But the message NEVER changes .... christ died for you, God loves you and you can't save yourself .... We are all sinners in need of a savior and by Gods grace he sent his son to die for you so that you could come back to his eternal plan and have eternal life. THATS IT AND THATS HOW SIMPLE IT IS! I just love how you try SOOOOO hard to prove the bible/God are wrong and don't exist. If he doesn't exist why try so hard?

  • So I have a question, I read the bible (in jail, cover to cover) I want to know if #1- the Old Testament is considered to be as true and important as the new? #2- if the answer to #1 is yes then why is God so much different in the 2 books? It occurred to me that God was vastly different, that forced me to wonder if He realized he was flawed and decided to change (therefore rendering Him just as bad as the people He was guiding), or if he was just a flawed character written in a book by men? God didn't write those words, the bible as a whole is contradictory to itself.

  • #1 ... Yes he's the same, God NEVER changes otherwise he would be a liar therefore not perfect. #2 God’s wrath and His love are revealed in both testaments. Read that link and answers it perfectly.

  • I read the link, for me it raises more questions than it answers. I'm not a bigot, I'm not gonna try to stomp all over your beliefs because truthfully, I respect what the New Testament teaches. The story of it all is what I cannot allow myself to trust. Being written by the race of men it isn't worthy of my trust. A book that powerful needs to be criticized harshly. Thank you for answering my question though.

    Oh so you follow the bible entirely? So you don't wear " cloths from different threads"? Is it safe to assume you don't eat swine either? And you actually condone public stonings of those who break those rules? Since the bible has instructions for purchasing slaves I guess that's okay too? Get the [b]f[/b]uck out of here with your nonsense. Clearly the bible is outdated and should be tossed aside. Do you think half of the rules still apply to modern day? No? That's because it is not meant for modern day man, yet you blindly follow the blind. I hope you don't shave either, because Leviticus 19:27 "Neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." Jackass.

  • Deuteronomy 17:2-7New American Standard Bible (NASB) 2 “If there is found in your midst, in any of your [a]towns, which the Lord your God is giving you, a man or a woman who does what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, by transgressing His covenant, 3 and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the heavenly host, which I have not commanded, 4 and if it is told you and you have heard of it, then you shall inquire thoroughly. Behold, if it is true and the thing certain that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil deed to your gates, that is, the man or the woman, and you shall stone them to [b]death. 6 On the [c]evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the [d]evidence of one witness. 7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

  • Guys there is no point trying to educate someone as closed minded as this one. When it comes down to it, they believe what they want to believe, no matter what the evidence is you show. If he doesn't want to research and learn, look at life scientifically and gain a greater understanding then we can't just magically open his eyes. [spoiler]like some god? [/spoiler]

    Relax. I didn't say anything about you. I'm calling a certain group of people assholes. I'm just saying that evolution and creationism are both possible (I believe both myself). I call those people assholes because they always refuse to actually think and have to resort to all kinds of stupid shit to avoid acknowledging that their opinion has no basis. Evolution is present just about everywhere. One obvious example is the flu virus, which evolves pretty much annually.

  • Dogs haven't evolved ..... They are bred to change ..... People took dogs and bred them together they didn't evolve into a totally different species of dog. But let's go with this .... Your telling me a Labrador over time could evolve into a pit bull?
