    Explanation from Creationists?

    My comments: As for me, to clarify, I am a Creationist. (Ah! I knew it! Comes the cry of the Evolutionist). However, evolution does play a role in my views, but not to the degere that men descended from apes. Microevolution is highly supported, and proven. However, there are many questions...

    Explanation from Creationists?

    My original response was that these images represented different species which may or may not have coexisted. That claim is substantiated on the basis that the images presented appear to be based on morphology - brain cavity size. However, some of the species represented are not in the lineage...

    Explanation from Creationists?

    Yes, they do. Check out: http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ha/a_tree.html It is from the Smithsonian Institution Human Origins Program, and shows one current perception of human ancestry based on phylogenetic differentiation. Notice the following: It is NOT conclusively known what...

    Explanation from Creationists?

    I will look into both of these and get back with you. Careful, you are treading on assumptions and on the grounds of the unreasonable. Are you assuming I do these things? Irony is only valid if one is guilty. Besides, I have also described the MO for many evolutionists, so what is your point...

    Explanation from Creationists?

    No, ad hoc is not what I was looking for. Evolution is based on attacks against creation and creationists, of which Darwin was among the strongest and most vocal. In the context of my sentence, I admit ad hoc may not be the correct choice, though it is appropriate to a degree. The arguments are...

    Explanation from Creationists?

    Images A through M show nothing but different species of hominids which may or may not have coexisted. The question is not whether or not they existed, which they did, but at what time frames did they exist? If you research the methods of radioisotope dating, you will find there is extreme...

    June 6, 2006

    unfortunately, some people take this stuff seriously, which shows they are not aware of the scriptures. No man knows, or ever will know, the date and time of Christ's return. There have been thousands of these "predictions" of an exact date and time, one wonders why these people haven't...

    The antichrist - muslim or roman?

    There is a lot of speculation on who the antichrist is. The Bible gives a lot of descriptions for many individuals who have an antichrist spirit. As far as THE antichrist refered to in Revelation, it is difficult to say exactly where he will be from. I do not think he will be from any of the...

    How to deal with evolution?

    Bear in mind that God violated natural laws numerous times. Lazarus was resurrected after being dead for a number of days - rot and decay were reversed. Jesus was transfigured before death and resurrected after death. A donkey talked to Baalam. Samson had unnatural strength. There are...

    A poll on birth control

    Birth control that prevents conception I do not feel is wrong, since no human life is being destroyed. A sperm by itself or an egg by itself can not become a human, they are just specialized body cells. However, once the egg is fertilized, it is no longer just a specialized cell of either the...

    A poll on birth control

    Well, yes, it is black and white. If you are a disciple of Christ (not just a believer) and study the scriptures, everything and anything is either good, or bad. Certain things may not seem that way to most becasue they see life as a physical existence, but God sees life as eternal existence -...

    A poll on birth control

    There are no contradictions, just apperent contradictions - apperent because they are taken out of context of other scripture. if you read of the Old Covenant involving circumsision, and the New Covenant of Christ, you will find that even in teh Old Testament, God says there will come a time...

    A poll on birth control

    I Cor. 7:4-5 The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come...

    How to deal with evolution?

    To accept evolution as life created by chance absolutely contradicts the scriptures. if a Christian accepts the premise that life began from a cesspool of organic precursors and man eventually evolved from this, that absolutely contradicts what the Genesis account teaches. Now I agree, IF one...

    How to deal with evolution?

    For a Christian who knows the Bible is God's absolute truth, evolution is absolutely false. However, if you have an audience that does not accept God's word, you can not use scripture to convince them of the truth, becasue they are already convinced scripure is not truth. Don't read too much...
