That happens in OCD. You'll get some of the most irrational thoughts and feelings about things. You just have to acknowledge it's irrational and the product of OCD and just ignore it the best you can and don't take those things to heart. Go on like you don't even have the irrational thoughts and...

I love Collins. A really nice guy and part of the reason I came to accept Evolution.

How was my last paragraph a joke? Do not turkeys have wishbones, just like feathered dinosaurs (raptors)? Don't they have scaled feet that are nearly the same as those dinosaur feet? Don't they have three fingers in the end of their wings like those dinosaurs? And why don't you EVER find a...

A lot of people don't understand what *missing links* or *transitional forms* are. Say you took a new born child and took a picture of it, and every three years over its whole life you did the same. You'd have bunch of pictures and the child would look quite a bit different in each one, but...

I just gave a few reasons why I believe it to be true. If you study those points I mentioned, then you may see there is quite a bit of evidence which cannot be argued against with any good argument.

The genome shows a history of our evolution. A few reasons why I accept evolution are: 1.) The phylogenetics trees of comparative anatomy, embryology, and genetics in comparison to one another. 2.) Endogenous retroviruses and their place in the genome in relation to other primates, such as...

Paul said that by one man came death, but I take that as for humans, as humans were different than animals once God breathed a spirit into those first two humaniod like beings. And why would God threaten Adam and Eve with death if they didn't witness death? I think they had an idea of what...

Ok. Again, I wasn't saying Sovereign Election and Natural Selection are exact, but they do have some interesting parallels.

Howso? I see no absolute contradiction.

I said it has *some* amazing parallels. I never said it's exact. lol... But in both cases we find God allowing some to perish and others to go on to become something greater than before.

I find calvinism FAR more logical and reasonable than any other Christian school of thought and have never seen it lose in a debate. Although, hyper-calvinism is crazy...

It is in a sense weeding out. Jesus told the parable of the wheat and tares growing together, and then the angels weeding out the tares and casting them into the fire. Who were the wheat? The ones God had mercy on, and the tares were those left to perish, as God is by no law obligated to...

Testing and Tempting are two completely different things. Tempting means you try to entice someone to do something. And usually that means something wrong. When you test someone, you put pressure on them to reveal what they're made of.

Agreed, and it's pretty simple to see what is literal and what is figurative (metaphorical).

First, why would God threaten Adam and Eve with death if they had no idea what death was? I believe they saw it in the Animal kindgom, so they had an idea of what death was, but they were not under death at the time. And Paul said, "Death came through one man." But it doesn't say, "The death...

I used to have the contamination thing bad and I'd wash my hands over and over. I got better by just not washing my hands anymore. Sounds simple but it really works. Just refuse to wash them so much and you'll find that obsession dying out. This demon dies when we cease to feed it through...

That wouldn't be a metaphor. But eating from a literal tree and a literal talking serpent would be. All throughout scripture God mixed literal with metaphorical. "I have used similitudes." Hosea 12:10. The great allegory "The Pilgrim's Progress" opens with that verse.
