You don't have the truth. It's a myth created & circulated by creationists that Darwin recanted on his death bed, and a silly one at that. Science needs to continue to be taught in science classes, so you can challenge colleges as much as you please to teach ID instead, but reputable ones won't.

Well, thank you for your permission. And sorry to bust your bubble. But Darwin did in fact recant on his death bed. I do not have a problem with science, I believe we do, need science. In fact science has helped in many ways, to prove Christianity, and what it teaches and believes.

Here is a treat for you. From Steven Hawking on Intellect Design.

The English theoretical physicist and cosmologist, Stephen Hawking, surprised the scientific community last week when he announced during a speech at the University of Cambridge that he believed that “some form of intelligence” was actually behind the creation of the Universe.

Presenting himself before students at the University of Cambridge, the world-famous scientist declared that his years of research on the creation of the cosmos have led him to isolate a strange scientific factor which he says is in many ways contrary to the universal laws of physics.

This strange phenomenon which he names the God factor, would be at the origin of the creation process and would have played a great role in determining the actual form of the Universe.

The only thing you burst was any ounce of credibility you could have had on this subject. No, Darwin did not recant on his death bed, that silly myth traces back to an evangelical who was a known liar of his time named Lady Hope.

You might want to learn how to spell his name correctly if you're going to quote mine him.

His name is Stephen Hawking.

It's not a treat to see that there are folks who still incorrectly think Stephen Hawking supports ID. What you're writing here is another myth along the lines of the one Lady Hope started about Darwin.

That's your opinion, not fact.

Thanks for the advice and spell check; will do. You need to re-read what you write before you post it. "if you're going to quote mine him."

So you are a Baptist and do not believe in ID? Because am scratching my head to why you are arguing with me. I see you made no mention of what Stephen Hawking wrote in that article. Instead you toss around myth, as if that refutes what Hawking wrote himself?

Do you know what PRATT means?
I am an idiot. I am the dumbest Christian on the planet. I know my place. I said Amen to this:

I have sinned against you O God. Forgive me.
I have sinned against my neighbor. Forgive me.
I have sinned in thought, in word, and in deed. Forgive me.
O Father of mercies, have mercy upon me.
For the sake of Your beloved and only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
O Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Teach me to love, even to love my enemies.
Teach me to forgive, even as You have forgiven me.
Teach me to be kind, even as You are kind.
O God, Holy and Immortal, have mercy.

I love Luther! He's my 2nd favorite theologian all-time. I find it odd that people who discuss theology, insult people, or try to belittle them. Such godly men, right?

Even creationists have acknowledged that it's just a myth started out by a story-teller.

Being a Baptist doesn't mean I'm ignorant. I'm also going into aerospace engineering, so real science is pretty darn important. Teaching ID in a science class is about as dumb as teaching the earth is flat in one.

You didn't post an article; you probably copied & pasted from some wacky ID site that has zero credibility. I'm not arguing with you, I'm correcting you. You've brought nothing of substance to argue.

I simply asked you if you understood what PRATT meant, since from your response you either didn't or were being obnoxiously snarky.

It's a myth from more than a century ago that has long been disproven. Even someone like Trump would be unlikely to be silly enough to say that it's "fake news" on account of how it's fake, but certainly not news.

I'd certainly never recommend that anybody get their news from Fox, but I doubt even they would be ignorant enough to repeat the long disproven myth that Darwin recanted on his deathbed.

I certainly want ID taught in universities and schools but.........
it seems to me that we Christians need to apply this advice before it
can happen:

Matthew 5:25

"Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."

What I believe Messiah Yeshua - Jesus means by this is...... agree with our opponents to the degree that our adversaries are perhaps correct...... or at least could be correct..... because there is so much information that each of us cannot possibly know enough about to be dogmatic on all subjects.

An Ancient of Days the Father, an Ancient of Days the Holy Spirit and Seven or fourteen Elohim led by the Word / Logos, who made Adam and Eve in their image....... may be first and foremost scientists, composed of fundamental or nearly fundamental energy.... according to String Theory........ who existed from eternity in the past.

If... in a sense God planned and choreographed an essentially infinite number of Big Bang or Big Flash events...... over eternity in the past.......... then perhaps before creating our ancestors Adam and Eve... maybe God got better and better and better at creation?

Before the creation of Adam and Eve it seem that Lucifer and one third of the angels had already fallen.

So..... our understanding of this statement could help to put a form of Intelligent Design back into schools........... "GOD EVOLVED BUT ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED."

This is my attempt to agree with our Agnostic and Atheistic adversaries.... to at least some degree.

There is a saying. If you can't do it right, then don't do it at all. God did not evolve. That would be a lie to teach that. Only educated true born again creationists should be allowed to teach such courses in schools. But I do not think it is going to happen. The times are getting more and more darker. How I would love there to be more secular schools that taught Christian courses. But the reality is that is not going to happen. The best option is to homeschool your kids or at the very least, train them about the ways of God and to warn them against the false teachings of this world (like Evolution).

Which word, where? First of all, Petrodollars are still US Dollars. It would be next to impossible to dump them on the market. A dollar is a dollar is a dollar. The only way that you could "dump" them on the market would be to give away bundles of $100,000 packets for free. And even that would not destabilize the dollar. The police first, and then the FBI, then the SEC and all sorts of alphabet soup would be down on you before close of business on the first day.

Jim Rickards did an amazing video on this and verified that number... I will try to find the link.

What does the poll question have to do with the thread title?
God does not go to University or school ....

Would you like to run that by me again after listening to this video.......
G-d is in those kids.......

God did create natural selection which allows species to adapt to the environment.
Farmers attend church and are experts on species adaptations and modifications.
Or "evolution" of species.
