An Age-Old Theological Question

There's nothing like a creationist science fair with a touch of racism.

    The only possible way to answer this question is with Conservapedia, which is strangely silent on the issue. Some questions are clearly beyond mortal knowledge.

    It appears his hypothesis is "No." and his conclusion is "No." Which is great, becauase you know what they say, "You can't take your lynchin' rope with you."

    I'd like to see his reasoning. Or maybe not. For full disclosure, I am a Christian and mostly white. That said, the Bible is pretty clear on this issue. Race is most definitely not a deciding factor. Again, I'd like to see his reasoning. Right now my numbskull alarm is going off big time.

      and i'd like to see the reasoning of considering the question worthy of rational discussion. we have a couple of problems right off the bat with this thing called "heaven", and the criteria with which to define the "minority" group...though i admit to taking great pleasure in the debate 30 years ago trolling for jesus freaks at the student union, at present it seems kinda like picking on the disadvantaged.

      Funny how it seems the assumption is that he is arguing "no." Prejudiced much?

      Did you perchance glance at the image as I first did? Upon closer inspection, the "NO" is there but only evident to me after a second look. Originally I asked the same question as you did.

      For the record, I hold many a prejudice (or at least predilection) but not normally among any racial lines.

      But what is the real question? Is it that those who are of a minority status are not welcome in Heaven or is it that in Heaven status will not be a point of matter?

      Besides, if we set aside race as a determining factor in determining one's status as a member of a minority group, one could state that only those in the minority will be allowed in Heaven. But that would offend the very one's that claim that there is no Heaven. (Which I find rather entertaining.)

      he could be arguing "yes", same issue. I contend that he doesn't have a valid argument on its face.

      He's a troll, not earnest, that's my prejudice. tell me, why would anyone even ask that question?

  7. Creation-Science Fair? by RockDoctor · · Score: 1

    OK, so, taking this guy's science fair project at face value ... there won't be any minorities in heaven. What's the current world population ? (2008, from Wikipedia)

    Region Population (million) ; Colour World 6,707 ; varies Africa 973 ; black with white and brown spots Asia 4,054 ; yellow/ brown Europe 732 ; white with suspiciously strong tan in parts Latin America / Caribbean 577 ; yellow, brown and Hispanic Northern America 337 ; white with a nasty brown stain that us good ol'boys are trying to rub out Oceania 34 ; just let them drown

    That's a total of 1069 for the whites (with various suspicions and stain eradication problems) and 5638 for the various non-white skin colours, very clearly making the whites the minority.

    I'd love to hear that someone promptly took the nasty little racist shit away on the business end of a pitchfork, to start his eternity in hell. But I suspect that he'd have got away with it.
