I just really hate Chick Tracts. Have you ever actually read one? They are abominations of literature, heck, they aren't fit to be used as toilet paper they are so crappy. They are so bad that they past the point at which it is funny more than a mile ago.

I wouldn't take it too seriously PS, most know what chick tracts is all about. The one's who don't, well, who cares.

For real, you consider Chick Tracts valid? :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:

The guy who writes it has even attacked certain sects of Christianity such as Catholicism. The guy is strait up ignorant and insensitive.

There are many practices and doctrines within the Catholic church that do not follow the bible but instead follow doctrines and rituals of men. Most are old pegan rituals that existed at the time of Jesus. Not many aspects of the Catholic church resemble Christianity. Perhaps that is where the conflict arises and why Martin Luther did what he did long before Chick Tracts existed.

Doesn't mean that calling Catholics satan worshippers who work with Muslims who are also satan worshippers isn't offensive and ignorant.

O.k. Agreed. They do sometimes go overboard. (I actually have not seen that one. I'm going to go dig through some I have.)

* I don't have that one but what you are describing is talking about end times I think and not the Catholic church today. The attacks on Israel and such.

It is called Mama's Girls, look it up and see some conspiracy insanity worthy of a tin foil hat.

It doesn't matter.

It's a legitimate answer to a legitimate question.

And saying that the man in the moon was the one who hid my car keys yesterday is also a legitimate answer to a legitimate question. Still completely unsupported though, and there's absolutely zero reason to believe it.

Here's my suggestion:

If you don't think you can handle the answer, don't ask the question.

No where does it say those religions are Satan worshipers. It says that Satan was behind the scenes manipulating people. There is much symbolism and practices in those religions that is anti-biblical. That is the basis of the tract.

You know nothing about evolution, and you make yourself look silly when you try to argue against it, because you are just arguing against a strawman.
I disagree. Evolution is a created trait, why would I argue against it? The fairy tale that evolving, and not God is responsible for life on earth has no evidence never did and never will. What looks silly to untold millions is when real people look at a picture like this and actually believe they came from this!!!!

Humans did not evolve from cockroaches, nor poison ivy, nor monkeys.
Humans have a common ancestor with each of those species.

You have a common ancestor with your sibling. Namely, your parent.
Right, I came from mankind, not worms. I have nothing to be ashamed of!
Now, imagine the same thing, but the common ancestor is so many generations back that it was before humans and whatever other modern species you are comparing us to existed.
Yeah, I know the fairy tale. Imagine indeed. There are far better things to imagine.

A truly gross and disgusting theory. An insult to mankind and God.

Assuming the thing that you wish to prove. How quaint.

You know, there are plenty of people out there who think God used evolution as a tool to get the job done. Like my husband.

Tell you what, me bucko...

You find ANY valid source that claims this, that humans came from a bunch of worms getting busy with it, and I'll agree to everything you say. Find me one scientist, one textbook on evolution, that makes this claim, and you win.

Right, I came from mankind, not worms. I have nothing to be ashamed of!

Actually, according to the Bible, you came from dirt.

Oh, and I came from a rib.:confused:

Yeah, I know the fairy tale. Imagine indeed. There are far better things to imagine.

Yeah, all you can do apparently is regurgitate the same claptrap creationist websites feed you. Such a shame you can't see what's happening in reality (and I mean actual reality, not the quasi reality your ideations have filtered for you).

A truly gross and disgusting theory. An insult to mankind and God.

Because dirt is so much better...

Well, maybe one day you'll give me a serious answer.
If ontological reduction isn't serious enough for you, then I wouldn't hold my breath.

You wanted to know if there was any explanation outside of science that could account for humans having the same features as animals, and I can't think of a better answer.

Perhaps someone else can; but if you don't think that answer was serious enough, take your self-righteous attitude elsewhere.

To take evolving any further than noticing some changes to life we have seen, one must believe one way or the other. We believe God, or Satan through man and man's wisdom.
You know, there are plenty of people out there who think God used evolution as a tool to get the job done. Like my husband.
So? They can think Santa had an affair with their wife if they like. That doesn't make the little evolving science observes responsible for life on earth!

"Flatworms Are Oldest Living Ancestors To Those Of Us With Right And Left Sides, Researchers Report In Science

: A team of scientists from Spain and the UK has determined that a certain curiously primitive group of flatworms are the oldest living ancestors to all "bilateral" animals.."

Flatworms Are Oldest Living Ancestors To Those Of Us With Right And Left Sides, Researchers Report In Science -- ScienceDaily


Guess that leaves just one question for you..which one was uncle Fred! :)

Actually, according to the Bible, you came from dirt.

Oh, and I came from a rib.:confused:
The hand of God is where we came from, and had life breathed into us by the Almighty Personally.


He formed us from a planet He had just made for us to live in, with all the stuff we were to be made of. He then took man to a beautiful garden He had planted and prepared for us! That beats your flatworm or pond fable hands down.

Your disgusting man from flatworms fable leaves man with no purpose, no destiny, no connection in a real way to the universe and other life on earth.

They are the oldest living ancestors. There is a lot of time between human and flatworm.
Yoou can't use time as a magic wand. The claim that men came about as a result of flatworm sex is repulsive and a total fable. How degrading. That should clue us in as to who is behind this nonsense...Satan, the enemy of man and of our salvation, and our souls.

Hmm, I think I see some of my relatives in there. :D
As a joke it is funny. But evos are deadly serious, they actually have been so beaten down intellectually and spiritually that they believe this as much as that the sun will rise tomorrow.

Ironically, evolution shows us that we are connected to all life on earth.
