Well, it's time for my annual visit. The sentiment "...on earth peace, goodwill toward men" from Luke 2:14 is, always has been, and always will be, a good idea. Merry Christmas to all and a healthy and happy New Year. Sincerely, Alencon P.S. General Apologetics Forum, may you rest in peace.

I don't know what "Darwinism" is so you might want to define what you mean by that term. However, if you are using that term to refer to the modern synthesis of evolution and genetics, popularly know as The Theory of Evolution (ToE), then your statement is so ludicrous that it can't even be...

Murder is also immoral. That doesn't mean that murders are lies that didn't happen. Look folks, here's the bottom line. Nothing in Biology makes sense other than in the framework of Evolution. Evolution is both an observable fact (look at yourself and your parents) and a Theory explaining the...

Of course you're ignoring the other half of the article where 62% say she's not qualified to be president. There is a big difference between approval of the president and approval of someone that may have taken a bum rap by the McCain politicos and is now talking about it. I approve of my...

Wow. It's been a while since I've been here (it's not nearly as much fun without GA) but things haven't changed much. I just want to say something about freedom FROM religion at least in the United States. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, the government MUST remain neutral with respect...

The whole Salem witch thing was an example of ignorance fanned to a white hot pitch by mass hysteria. So I have to say, in spite of the Bible. Although Exodus 22:18 certainly didn't help any.

Wow. You guys must have gotten blasted. There's no evidence of the last few times I was here. The database thinks it was Christmas 2007. Suddenly, I feel young again.;)

It could always be better. A lot depends on where the school is. Inner city schools have some problems. Most suburban schools have less. Only the most right wing. They're concerned primarily with the emphasis on a secular society and the presentation of the theory of evolution. That depends what...

Wow, the All Powerful, Almighty Creator of the Universe cannot stand the PRESENCE OF ANY SIN. Wow, I wonder why he created them then? That God cannot stand the presense of actions deemed sins by his not too bright creations (that's us) has got to be the single most bizarre statement I've ever...

Define what you mean by "TRUE." Are you looking for objective or absolute "TRUE?" If so, the answer is there is no such thing. Or are you looking for subjective or relative "TRUE?" In which case "TRUE" is in the eye of the beholder and for some Christians, but by no means all, the first is...

That's a true statement, but the question is are they serious about that position or simply trying to disarm the opposition. The Discovery Institute has declined to support the Dover Pennsylvania School Board in its upcoming trial related to its mandate to present Intelligent Design in Biology...

Well at least the ACLU is taking this seriously. The latest news letter is focused on the Dover School Board case. "Once again, the ACLU will be defending religious freedom against those who want to force creationism into our public schools. The underlying conflict has been going on at least...

And just out of curiousity, what does this have to do with truth? Just because one finds the truth distasteful, doesn't make it any less truthful. Just because one finds a lie attractive, doesn't make it any less of a lie.

Pointless? Hardly. Expressing a position is never pointless. If for no other reason than honestly expressing where you stand. The First Virtue is Courage and the second is Truth.

If she's home schooled it doesn't matter what I say or how I say it, there's a "No Admittance" sign hung in front of her brain. That's the whole point of home schooling isn't it? To shut the mind to anything remotely resembling a new idea.

I doubt it. I don't think discipline has changed a whole lot over that time frame. Now if you want to talk about 40 or 50 years ago, then maybe.

Oh wonderful, another "Home Schooler," or how to turn Timmy and Mary into partially educated robots. Consider this little girl, if what you were being taught is the truth, what do you need to fear from lies? A lie withers in the light of truth. You think MAYBE that might be why mommy doesn't...

Churchill was the one worried about the Soviets. I don't think Truman was thinking that far ahead. And no, EVERYONE did not know that the Soviets were the real problem and no EVERYONE was not thinking about the Russians. Everyone was thinking about ending the war. It's true that Patton was of...

You'll have to give me a reference. I know that the roads and rail lines in Germany were a mess but I can't judge without knowing when and where you are refering to. In 1945 I don't think any Soviet forces were in a position to interdict the supplies of the Western Allies.

No, the reason Truman decided to drop the A-Bomb is that the invasion of Japan was expected to cost a million US casualties. Truman wasn't thinking about the Russians. Things hadn't quite gone sour yet in 1945 and everyone in Europe was focusing on what to do with the Nazi leaders. Nuremberg...
