Creationists: What Was Wrong With The Dover Trial?

[pitabread]

Spiritually speaking, the Constitution ends at our penny.

So... no?

Technically professionals have built an Ark: Life-size Noah’s Ark

Um ... okay.

That's just it. We don't need to prove it in court.

But I don't think we need to argue. God will reveal himself, but it's not on this plane. As my friend who used to work in drug treatment used say, "More will be revealed.

Amen!

 

[AV1611VET]

If X argument proves your religion and Islam, then it's hardly supporting monotheism.

A man once caught a Leprechaun and wouldn't let him go until he promised to reveal where his pot of gold was.

The Leprechaun led the man into a forest, to a tree, and pointed to the ground at the foot of said tree.

The man tied a yellow ribbon around the tree, made the Leprechaun promise he wouldn't touch it, then went to his truck to get a shovel.

To his horror, when he returned, the Leprechaun had tied a yellow ribbon around every tree in the forest.

We call that diabolical mimicry.

Yet the US has laws which means other religions are not only not required to take a hike, but people are legally prevented from enforcing such an action. Isn't freedom great?

Yes, indeed!

Our Bill of Rights insures no pogrom will occur legally on U.S. soil.

As Jesus put it concerning these other religions:

Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

They are welcome to live here alongside of us.

That way, they can get a good dose of the Gospel and be free to convert without threat of having their heads relocated elsewhere.

You call that 'fair'?

I call it an appeal to ignorance.

Ever heard of a book called "The Acts of the Apostles"?

Sure I have, it's a complete fabrication.

"Acts was read as a reliable history of the early church well into the post-Reformation era. By the 17th century, however, biblical scholars began to notice that it was incomplete and tendentious—its picture of a harmonious church is quite at odds with that given by Paul's letters, and it omits important events such as the deaths of both Peter and Paul. The mid-19th-century scholar Ferdinand Baur suggested that Luke had re-written history to present a united Peter and Paul and advance a single orthodoxy against the Marcionites. (Marcion was a 2nd-century heretic who wished to cut Christianity off entirely from the Jews). Baur continues to have enormous influence, but today there is less interest in determining Luke's historical accuracy (although this has never died out) than in understanding his theological program.[24] In How Jesus Became Christian[25] Canadian religious historian Barrie Wilson has renewed Baur's charge that Acts is a work of historical revisionism whose main purpose was to link Paul's new and separate Christ religion to Jesus and Judaism."

The trouble is, too many of your coreligionists want that to be as distinctly second-class citizens.

Until the first elephant stepped aboard it, then it would have fallen apart like a popsicle stick house.

 

[AV1611VET]

By the 17th century, however, biblical scholars began to notice that it was incomplete and tendentious—

Ah, yes.

The 17th Century.

The Age of Reason.

The Age of Rationalism.

From the area where the Antichrist is slated to come from.

That's when a handful of Christians left Europe and came here to start a Christian nation.

That way, they can get a good dose of the Gospel and be free to convert without threat of having their heads relocated elsewhere.

And vise-versa. You're free to hear about their beliefs and convert as well.

Shame on them.

 

[Hieronymus]

Wasn't the Dover trial abut irreducible complexity and the flagellum as an example?
Well, the judge was a biassed fool.

 

[HitchSlap]

Ah, yes.

The 17th Century.

The Age of Reason.

The Age of Rationalism.

From the area where the Antichrist is slated to come from.

Secular republic, actually. It's ok, you probably fell asleep the day they covered this in your homeschooling lesson.

 

[AV1611VET]

And vise-versa. You're free to hear about their beliefs and convert as well.

Thing is though, in a lot of areas it's convert-or-die.

The Judge was a Republican.

 

[Hieronymus]

The Judge was a Republican.

Oh, how relevant..

"Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition."

 

[Speedwell]

Ah, yes.

The 17th Century.

The Age of Reason.

The Age of Rationalism.

That's when a handful of Christians left Europe and came here to start a Christian nation.

Well, it's their fault then, because they screwed up and started a secualr republic instead.

 

[HitchSlap]

The Judge was a Republican.

A Bush appointed evangelical Christian Republican.

 

[AV1611VET]

The Judge was a Republican.

Ouch!
