I assume you have a computer? Good, watch it later there and review it and get back to me.

sorry I don't have time to watch the video's I am working 7 days a week and a good portion of my posts are on android. But your illustrations don't prove ancestry to both sides. For example it would have to prove ancestry for both a dog and a whale. All of those in picture are one or the other. This is why no missing links are found. Lucy was said to be a transition between man and ape, but no, it's actually an ape like creature. Neanderthal was said to be a link , but no, He is actually a human like creature. so you have no examples or observations of macro evolution that proves common ancestry on both sides.

I can see where some of that might fit together showing some slight speciation change but selecting similar creatures and lining them up so they seem to match? A child could do that. It doesn't prove they actually changed that way unless you have first hand observational evidence or can reproduce it.

Neanderthals are no longer considered to be human ancestors.

I know what you think, however it's the facts of the matter that I care about.

neanderthal has what is called a nose ridge (some small, others large), while all ape like creatures have what is called a shovel face, with no nose ridge. That is a very straight forward way of telling what it is. Neanderthal I assume has no shovel face and has a nose ridge, if I am not mistaken.

When Books Burn: Lists of Banned Books, 1933-1939
See #6

The US Holocaust Museum in DC also has a list of banned books that includes Darwin's. I have no idea if there is a link for that online but if you're in the DC area go look for yourself. The Jewish Museum of Berlin has an exhibition on banned books and includes Darwin's work as well. The Nazi's also banned Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Jewish Museum Berlin - Special Exhibition: Bambi and the Theory of Relativity. Books on the Nazi Pyre.

Should all books that were influential to Hitler be banned, or should we simply realize that it was Hitler who committed his atrocities and his reading materials were not culpable?
Hitler's Bedtime Reading - The Daily Beast

so if the Bible is banned in schools, does that mean that Christians don't attend? Not sure if the above implies what you think it does. I am looking into this ban list as well.

Why do you thin that the Bible is banned? Now of course we cannot treat a piece that is largely a piece of fiction as a history book, but the Bible can be discussed in a literature course or in a comparative religion class where the Bible is compared to holy books of other religions.

Indoctrination...sorry I mean schools are not even biblical. Both Hitler and Stalin used evolution to indoctrinate the people into believing there was a "superior race".

You want the bible to be banned in school...but instead wnat kids to pledge alliegance to some inanimate object/satan...jokes on you.

Here are scientists murder thousands of aborigines and use their skulls as proof for evolution: http://yecheadquarters.org/shame.3.html
The fossil-hunters did not hesitate to become skull-hunters when the number of graves were not enough to meet their needs. Since Aborigines served as transitional forms, they had to be regarded as animals rather than human beings. For the sake of the development of science, the lives of Aborigines could be sacrificed just as guinea pigs!

Skull-hunters killed Aborigines and legitimized this act asserting that they were doing it for science. The skulls of the hunted natives were sold to museums after some chemical reactions that would make them look old.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Hitler, who was a Christian, banned the work of Darwin in Germany.

Stalin did not support Darwin's theory either. He supported Lysenkoism.

Lysenkoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And please find legitimate sources when you make your claims.

I know, I know, it is not fair. legitimate sources do not make such stupid claims.

First, christian simply means you have faith in Jesus...and not your work. God knows who has faith but for men...they can only tell another is christian by their work.

So, nobody can tell if Hitler was christian...but going from his work...he probably wasn't. After all, he believed in a superior race....when the bible says God is not a respector of persons.

If he came and posted here, by the rules of this site, he would be a Christian. he always claimed to be a Catholic. And despite what all of the antipapists claim here Catholicism is a sect of Christianity.

At any rate neither Hitler nor Stalin supported Darwinian evolution.

I will look into it more, but a Christian would not have done those things.

Pastor Jon Courson of Applegate Christian Fellowship regarding apostacy of those who were once Christian:

"I believe Hebrews 6 is not about an unbeliever who was never really saved. Nor is it presenting a hypothetical situation. I believe it speaks of those who leave the simplicity of Jesus Christ. So when a person says, "Oh, Jon, I went back into the party scene for three years," or, "back into that religious trip and depended upon my own efforts and my own goodness," on the basis of this passage, I have to say to him, "It's impossible to renew your salvation"

but in case you don't believe that apostacy is a real threat amongst Christianity Here you go: Christians are not those mentioned below:


“For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.”
Romans 2:13

“Do we make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”
Romans 3:31

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth it not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. “
1 John 2:3-5

“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:19

“If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”-1 John 2:29

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect1 -Matthew 5:48

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.” -1 John 2:6-7

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 … whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. -1 John 3:7-10

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise , as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward , not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. “-2 Peter 3:9

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10

“For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings swelling, tumults: And lest when I come again, my God will humble me among you and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.”
2 Corinthians 12:20-21

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
Galatians 5:24

“Be not deceived[; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Galatians 6:7-9

“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in his matter.”
2 Corinthians 7:8-11

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath givene assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Acts 17:30-32

“...the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, and that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in time. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to unto the heavenly vision: But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. “
Acts 26:16-20

“Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.“ -Acts 5:31

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
Galatians 5:24

Regardless of the nonsense you post here his beliefs are on record.

I see that touched a sore point with you. Hitler may have been a strange offbeat Christian like dad, AV, or Aman, but he was still a Christian, especially if you go by the rules of this forum. There have been countless evil Christians over the history of the world, I don't see why you were so surprised by this revelation.

Gradyl, that article of yours has been debunked many times over.

Why do you keep posting it here?

excuse me you have done none of the sort. you simply state just that but offer no rebuttal everytime. Wikipedia is edited by the public, and it is easier to put a text wall on to the site than to get it removed. If you want text removed, any one can undo changes for any reason whatsoever. So it basically caters to the input, not to the output. but errors are not easily corrected, if you remove a post too many times you are suspended for what they call "vandalism." Then you have to go to arbitration. a mess.
