Yes it is. The fact that you wish to close your mind to it does not change the possibility.

I did mention that there will be those who join the army and who do not have a low level of education. Two individual soldiers can easily differ from the majority.

There may well be a generally low level of education in the Army. However I doubt this is equally true in the Navy, Marines or Air Force. There will also be those who are well educated but serve in the forces anyway, and who would feel insulted by what Kerry appeared to be saying.

Those are not three different spins because the three statements are entirely compatible. Kerry is claiming that the statement was a joke about Bush that was misinterpreted by the White House.

Well McCain also asked for an apology, and he served in Vietnam. Kerry's right that it makes no sense to think that a veteran politician would deliberately insult the armed forces, but what he said nevertheless sounded like an insult, and for that he should apologise.

Sounds like Kerry just messed up his words. I seriously doubt that he'd deliberately insult US soldiers; no politician is that dumb (well, maybe one is). Considering the mess that Bush makes of his speeches, like his statement about never stopping thinking of ways to harm America, I think Kerry...

More unevidenced assertions. I read the Bible more than the average Christian probably does. Apparently unlike you, I've made it to the second chapter, which directly contradicts the first, making a mess of the creationist position.

Indeed. What's the lie, John?

I feel I should point out to the people proposing an African Union that the African Union already exists. It just doesn't do a very good job.

Depends what the woman looks like.

You seem to be woefully unfamiliar with archaeology. Pretty much the whole of the first half of the Old Testament is directly contradicted by modern archaeology.

This from a creationist. I'm not sure what the point was of the link you gave. Where are the misrepresentations of truth in that link?

Nobody knows.

There would be a time limit on this, since black holes do not last indefinitely but lose mass via Hawking radiation. This is why the universe will not end in a black hole.

And countries like Hungary and Slovakia are not? There are already plenty of economically weak countries in the EU.

I think that by saying that the waters were gathered to one place, this just means that previously water had covered the whole Earth and there had been no dry land. Gathering the waters to "one place" just meant that the water was gathered into seas so that it was separated from dry land. I...

Not that I can remember. [Edit: Job 4:18 maybe?] But whatever you suggest, I would ask you this general question: Whatever God's way of preventing sin is in paradise, why did He not use that method of preventing sin on Earth?

It doesn't really matter how it is done. The fact that according to your religion it can be done at all negates your earlier point. The standard Christian answer to the problem of evil is that the existence of free will means that evil cannot be prevented. However, it is claimed that God will...

Nice. Now reconcile this with the belief that no more evil can/will occur in the afterlife in paradise.

Here comes the Good News: You're not following Christ unless you follow the Nicene and Athanasian creeds. Never mind all that rubbish about loving God and your neighbour, it's getting the theology right that matters.
