Can someone answer me why places like ICR, AIG, etc, are so heavily centered on pushing product, while talk.origins doesn't even have their own online store?
I mean, on ICR's site, "online store" is the first link in their menu. On AIG's site, "store" is link #2 (right after "home").
But I have to virtually dig on talk.origins to even find a list of book recommendations (which they don't even sell from their own site). |

Apparantly, spreading the Lord's word is very high-maintenence, requiring a constant supply of cash, whereas supporting "Godless Atheistic Satanic Evolutionary lies" has much less overhead. Creationism: Good for the soul, tough on the wallet. |

Yeah, right Evolution would not stand a chance if it were not government funded. It is the only government funded religion there is. It would die a quick death without government funding. Of course indirectly it is promoted by the porno industry. Sense the ACLU is porno funded, and evolution is a part of their godless agenda. Then don't forget the gambling money from state run lotteries that supports the godless agenda in our universities. Not that I am against the lottery, it does help our collage students.
At least Christians are self supporting and do not have to tap the american tax payer to fund their religion. No one is asked to support their agenda who does not agree with it. But they take money out of my pocket to support the government endorsed religion of evolution in our school systems. To purchase text books that promote evolution and so forth.  |

Perhaps you could explain, why there isnīt such a heated creatinism vs evolution debate in Europe. Can it be, that the Europeans arenīt real Christians and are deceived by Satan?
Or are they just a bit more critical thinking?

Just when I thought I'd seen it all:
I am becoming convinced that John's rhetoric is probably the best weapon against creationism in these forums.  |

As for the rest of your screed, you've never, when challenged, been able to articulate in what sense evolution is a religion and I don't suppose that's going to change now. But just for fun...are Christians who agree with evolutionary theory people who worship two religions? |

That's nice. You know what, I'll even give you a free premise on this one. Evolution is government funded. Sure. That's BS, but you can have it. That still doesn't answer the question, which was:
Why do AIG and ICR need to sell products, and do so aggressively, when talk.origins (which is NOT government supported) does not?

Nope, we just make claims, we do not back them up. I thought you had that figured out by now  |

Um. lets see, scratching my head. Maybe that is how they make a living. What about me if I sell knives for a living, are you against that also? Or are you just against people makeing a living off of writting books?
Are you against people making a living in general, or just making a living promoting something you disagree with? |
