I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal god is a childlike one.
He said that like it's a bad thing!
Childlike, not childish. An important distinction.
Matthew 18:2-4
And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
read Genesis and you'll see that the creation story pretty much mirrors evolution anyway.
Well, the Book of Genesis "mirrors" evolution... in the sense that "ECNALUBMA" (in backwards letters) on the front of an ambulance appears as "AMBULANCE" in your rear-view mirror.
The Holy Bible records: First life on land (Gen. 1:11), earth before the sun and stars (1:14-19), fruit trees before fishes (1:11,20,21), birds before insects (1:20-31; Lev. 11), whales before reptiles (1:20-31), birds before reptiles (1:20-31), plants before the sun (1:11-19), man before rain (2:5), and so on.
So, go ahead and stretch those days of the creation process into eons; you can't make the order line up.
Yeah, they "stood up" with the helpful encouragement of the little man from the draft board.
How old are you? Do yourself a favor and read a book or something.
Please step into this time machine and listen to the sounds of the WW2 era. You will learn a lot about America, the country you and I (young people) never knew.
To clarify, I meant that the idea of even six million years is fantasy; I know that that is not nearly as great as the evolutionist-purported age of the Earth.
And that causes me to think of a huge hole in my "law." (see my first post to this story) The supposed age of the Earth is being pushed back at a much faster rate than the date of modern humans is being pushed back.
It's a "law" based on observation. Yeah, it's probably premature at this point to formalize, but it's a trend I've been seeing in the news lately, like evidence of "recent" animals having existed long before they were "supposed" to have evolved; animals being neighbors, but one was supposed to have become extinct long before the other came about. Massive anachronism abounds when you compare evolutionary geologic tables to the actual fossils. There are enough exceptions to the evolutionist-devised rules to throw into doubt whether the rules have any basis in reality.
Evolutionism uses the Dan Rather approach to science: "Yeah, maybe the story/theory is fake, but it represents the truth."
Given enough time, sludge evolved to man. Given enough time, scientists will prove evolution.
I, for one, don't put faith in the "given enough time" philosophy. Given enough time, pigs will evolve wings. Given enough time, hell will freeze over. Given enough time, the Easter Bunny will become President. No, some realities are simply impossible. Even after a googol years, two will not exist between zero and one, for instance.
Superyooser's Law of Evolutionary Dating of Humans: As scientific research continues, the evolutionists' estimate of the date of "modern humans" equaling the date of the beginning of the Earth approaches one.
Evolutionists will continue to push back the date for the earliest modern humans (both anatomically and behaviorally).
Superyooser's Law of Evolutionary Dating of Humans: As scientific research continues, the probability of the date of "modern humans" equaling the date of the beginning of the Earth approaches one.
Then the only thing left to be corrected would be the time scale, but that knowledge would be accepted in the process of "approaching one."
A little known fact is that Mario's brother, Luigi, was originally named Levitzi. (He was adopted from a Jewish couple.)
Nintendo will be releasing a game next spring called Luigi Rescues Pe[s]ach. "Let my princess go!" In the game, Luigi eats moshe-rooms and chocolate shekels to give him power, but watch out for the maror! He tosses spinning dreidels at the Koopa Troopas to knock them off their feet.
Unfortunately, the sequel to this game is going to be a real bummer... 40 years in the desert
I can't believe they'd give someone that high of an award based on lies.
I can. They gave the Peace Prize, in 1994, to the Godfather of Terror: mastermind of massacres, inciter and teacher of genocide to a whole generation, and pioneer of terror tactics that paved the way to 9/11.
In 2001, they awarded the prize to Kofi Annan and the United Nations. ROFL!
So, nothing the Nobel Committee does can surprise me.
To most people, business means that consumers have choices. In Rome, it was more like paying taxes or obligatory fees to a coercive monopoly/government than purchasing products from a religious venue or merchant.
In America, Christianity is a competitive, capitalistic, market-oriented business in an atmosphere of religious freedom. That's what the quote means by "business."
Christianity began as a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
When it went to Athens, it became a philosophy.
When it went to Rome, it became an organization.
When it spread throughout Europe, it became a culture.
When it came to America, it became a business!
No, George Habash was the founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Communist, Arab, terrorist group. The PLO was founded by the Arab League.
Yep, all those Palestinian Christians in the PLO were just being 'muslim ***hats'
Yes. Yes, in effect, they were. Just like Barack Obama, who joined United Church of Christ (UCC), the most Jew-hating "Christian" denomination he could find in America. It's a place where people with Arab/Islamic (anti-Israel) sympathies can feel at home.
Jew-hatred is spread across the entire Arab culture like hummus on pita bread, both the religious and secular parts. (Please note that Yassir Arafat and Saddam Hussein were said to be secular, yet both attacked Israel.) A lot of Christians in the Middle East (who are mostly Orthodox or Catholic, by the way) hold the same attitude. They are on the PA/PLO side.
One's politics is often a stronger influencer than one's professed religion. Emotional issues can cut across religious strata to divide, and unite, people on the basis of social or political values.
If the "company" is reading this, they might make sure that Brian Sutin will get a computer. Then Brian will tell Slashdot, "Hey guys, that $150 laptop deal is REAL!" Then the scammer would rake in the cash.
See the rankings (PDF). Though the article says the U.S. is ranked seventh, you'll notice that the U.S. has the same score as the "#6" Netherlands, 5.54, so we are tied for sixth place. Countries with tied scores are ranked alphabetically.
For those of you giving the "haha" tag to this story, I'd like to point out that France is #23, and Russia is down on the second column at #70, three spots below that hi-tech powerhouse Botswana, which is tied with the Dominican "Silicon Island" Republic.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
There is a recording of bing-bang background noise on YouTube.
Before we go down this road, it would be helpful to know a little more about relevant laws in Israel.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
And what about the Wi-Fi wires?
You are a pirate!

even among fundamentalists, there are many who believe in an old earth.
I believe in an old earth. I think that 6,000 years is really, really old!
Six million is contemporary fantasy.
If I understand correctly, the ancient rabbis regarded 2,000 years (sh'not alpayim) as like eternity.

Arrghh! I still didn't say that quite right, but you know what I mean.
Sorry, I didn't get enough sleep last night.

Appropriately, Israel is recognized as 18.
It's also interesting to look up the etymology of "assassin."
