Creationists make it sound as though a ´theory´ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night

isaac asimov.

these forums need a little humor sometimes.

Indeed, A little irreverence is good for the soul.

But the problem with making a joke at the expense of creationists, is that the creationists don't think it's funny, and nobody else thinks it's a joke.

Not all that funny if you appreciate the fact that Creationists have actually said that:

Just because someone expresses there personal opinions about something, does not mean we all "say" or "think" that like that person does. Besides, I've read much worse about creationists on evolutionists sites. That creationists are morons with brain damage etc... And that was one of the nicer comments I read. Some were very degrading and full of foul language. I actually got the impression on one site that they would like to snuff out all creationists.

But what can you do? Can't control what's on the web. Though I think there should be some type of control or seperation of information.
To change the subject for a minute to express an idea. One thing that most people would like to see controlled on the web is porn. My idea, because I don't think it could be removed completly, is to give it it's own section. You know, .com, .org why not .porn? It would make filtering easy and most who don't want to see it won't. Because .porn would always identify what site your going to before you go.

During the tribulation period that is exactly what they will do. Just like at the beginning of the church they liked to feed the Christians to the lions. Of course every now and then a christian comes along like Daniel that has enough of the power of God in them to shut the mouth of the lion. Those who persecute the church of God are always disappointed when that happens.

so how many porn sites have you been to then? I have never been to any. I know where I can find them, but I just decide not to, no need for a .prn suffix.

And then, where do you draw the line? To a taliban, a woman without a burkha is tantamount to porn...

@John: Wielding the persecution club again, eh? Luckily, there are no lions around that could prove your position...

I guess it must be really disappointing that all you can offer in the way of persecution has to do with emotional traumata suffered from being told to stick to the facts and discuss in a coherent way...

this is why I think some christians ought to listen to Jesus a bit more, he never went round saying crazy stuff.

No No, theory is not something that you come up when your drunk, it is though, JUST AN IDEA, its not a scientic law, or certainty. Theory is something that is based on good sound thinking based on science we already know. I think we know about .01% about all science. Theories have been wrong before and will be wrong again.
