But those Jews are all going to hell, ehe? After all, they killed Jesus, which makes you and Mel Gibson so very mad.
And of course all the muslims are going to hell, and so are the athiests, which makes you very happy to be Christian.
Doesn't that make you feel smug and self rightious? How nice and Christian of you.
By the way, since you know all the answers: how many miles above the surface of the earth is heaven, and how many miles below the surface of the Earth is hell?
Exposing the False Science Idol of Evolutionism,
and Proving the Truthfulness of the Bible from Creation to Heaven...
Levitating Globe
"An electromagnet and computerized sensor hidden in its display stand cause the Earth to levitate motionlessly in the air."
Could God have engineered something like that for the real Earth?
The Bible and all real evidence confirms that this is precisely what He did, and indeed:
The Earth is not rotating...nor is it going around the sun.
The universe is not one ten trillionth the size we are told.
Today's cosmology fulfills an anti-Bible religious plan disguised as "science".
The whole scheme from Copernicanism to Big Bangism is a factless lie.
Those lies have planted the Truth-killing virus of evolutionism
in every aspect of man's "knowledge" about the Universe, the
Earth, and Himself.
Take your time.
Check it all out.
Decide for yourself.
The Non-Moving Earth & Anti-Evolution Web Page
2006
All of the evidence that is required to expose and destroy the counterfeit Copernican Model of a rotating and orbiting Earth--and the entire evolutionary paradigm resting upon that counterfeit--is set out in this book (HERE) & in scores of links on this web page.
Those who read some or all of these links will quickly realize that this is no idle claim. Rather--as will become evident with each subject listed--there is abundant hard proof that both the Copernican Counterfeit and the Big Bang Evolutionary Paradigm that is built upon it are factless frauds from start to finish.
Indeed, the diligent reader will be astonished at the level of demonstrable hi-tech fraud, baseless assumptions, occult mathematics, etc.,--all part of a religious conspiracy!--that has been at work over many centuries implanting the incredible evolution myth about the origin of the Universe, the Earth, and Mankind.
On this web page the Bible is not used to prove anything scientific. Instead, the scientific facts--along with historical and religious facts-- prove the Bible to be precisely what it claims to be, namely, the infallible Word of God.
Those who like what they read here--and are eager for more evidence in book form--will want to go HERE & HERE, and then: HERE, & HERE, and also: HERE to order The Earth Is Not Moving, The Truth About Evolution, and any of a dozen other book-length studies on Bible Doctrines.

So, welcome! Think of this as a "crash course" for people everywhere of all ages who are ready to learn how evolutionary mythology has deceived the world...and what it will mean to every living person when that deception is exposed.

If you believe in both Evolution, and also that the Earth was created in 6 days, then you're an idiot, and intellectually dishonest. You're a great illustration of my point that Christians lie to themselves. I hope you don't have children, and if you do, I hope you don't lie to them too. You should be ashamed of youself if you do.
An no, the principles are NOT pretty sound. What's so smart about persecuting homosexuals, stoning women who cheat on their husbands, and all those other principles of Christianity? Or did not just happen to pass over those principles when you were cherry-picking the bible?
Why don't you state all the points that you disagree with the bible, each and every time you call yourself a Christian? Or make a web page that says which principles you agree with and disagree with, and point to that whenever you mis-use the word "Christian" to describe yourself? Otherwise you're just purposefully misleading people (and yourself) when you call yourself a "Christian".
So you should not call yourself a Christian, then. You're a non-believer. You've simply redefined the word "Christian" to mean whatever is convenient to you. You're as much of a Christian as the KKK who claims they want America to be a Christian nation.
Oh, come on. The Catholic Church doesn't believe in evolution: it preaches Creationism. It also preaches that thou shalt not use condoms. They also forbid women from being priests, don't allow priests to have sex, yet protect priests who molest children. What's so metaphysical about that?
Those people who claim to be Christian, but don't believe the bible, are simply liars and self deceptive self serving fools. The Bible and the Church do not say that you get to make up your own fairy tails. They are the word of God. If Christians were allowed to arbitrarily re-interpret the bible and throw away the parts of it they didn't believe, then it would be a very different book. Christianity is very well defined, and there is no room for people who make up their own mythology. They may call themselves Christians, but they're not.
Typo: s/probably/provably/ -- Christians who believe things that are provably wrong (like Creationism) are idiots, and there's no reason to humor them like they're children, or treat them like they're mentally retarded and can't help it.
How is it bigoted to call somebody who lies a liar, or somebody who believes something probably wrong an idiot, or somebody who says they're one thing but believes and practices something else a hipocrite?
There's no reason to treat Christians or any other kind of religious fundamentalists like children, and pretend that Santa Clause exists in order to avoid hurting their feeling. That's bullshit. Their false beliefs and foolish actions are tearing apart society. Why should we respect the religious beliefs of the terrorists who knocked down the World Trade Center, because they had heart-felt beliefs that it was the right thing to do?
You're certainly not a good Christian if you think you can play the mind game of pretending you're God in order to figure out what "He" would do. Since when were humans capable of figuring out what God wanted by play-acting that they're a fat old man with a beard? The audacity of presume you're capable of knowing what God would do by pretending you're God is incredibly sacreligious, presumptuous, and idiotic. But that's the typical kind of self-serving idiocy that most modern-day so-called Christians practice. According to Christ's definition of Christianity, there aren't any true Christians any more. You certainly aren't a true Christian, if you think you could possibly know what God would do.
It's simple: Most Christians are stupid. The ones who aren't are intellectually dishonest, perfectly willing to believe contradictory statements and lie to themselves and their children.
You hit the nail on the head there. Will Wright is fascinated with Care Bears. He had several slides on the topic in his GDC 2005 talk:
Pokemon, Neopets, Care Bears. Give kids a sense of ownership and mastery over the facts and details of the characters. Loved dinosaurs as a kid. Knew the rock-scissors-paper of different species of dinosaurs, which was something his mom didn't know. Mastery of facts.
Care bears. Started as greeting cards. Found a web app that categorizes your personality: Which Care Bear are you? Each care bear has special abilities. Care bear have cousins, that aren't even bears. Care bears live in a star-speckled, rainbow-trimmed, cotton candy, cloud world called "Care a Lot". If they fall out of the clouds, they land in the "Forest of Feelings" (Kindom of Caring). Forest of Feelings is over the earth. So the Earth must be the "Kingdom of people who don't give a shit".
Spore's structure is a lot different than SimEarth.
Will Wright gave a talk to Terry Winnograd's user interface design class at Stanford in 1996 (before he made The Sims), which I sat in on and took some notes about Designing User Interfaces to Simulation Games. In that talk he discussed post-morta of some of the games he designed, including SimEarth.
Post Morta:
After designing SimCity Classic, then SimEarth, then SimAnt, then SimCity 2000, here's one way Will compares them: With SimCity Classic as the standard against which to measure, SimEarth was too complex, SimAnt was too simple, and SimCity 2000 was just right.
SimEarth:
SimEarth and SimAnt did not support the same level of creativity and personal imprinting that SimCity does. With SimEarth, anything you do is quickly wiped out by continental drift, erosion, and evolution; you can walk away from it for a while, come back later, and it will have evolved life or shriveled up and died without you, looking pretty much the same as if you had slaved over it for hours. It was too complex a simulation for people to grasp or effect in a satisfying way.
The time scale slows down as the game progresses, from geological time, to when life appears, to when intelligence appears, to when technology is developed. There was some trouble conveying this to the users. One thing that supported the notion of time scale is how the view controls along the bottom of the global map were ordered in a temporal progression, in the order you'd need to use them, from the continental drift display, to the technology display.
Spore is actually designed as a "T" shaped storytelling based game: the levels of scale that you go up through, from plankton to spacefaring civilization (the vertical base of the T), are actually a sandbox tutorial that teach you to play the rest of the game (the horizontal top of the T), which is a collection of science fiction story genras, that take place on top of all of the lower levels.
From the notes I took at Will Wright's Game Developers Conference demo on 3/11/2005,
The Future of Content:
Meta Games
Meta games around different genras of science fiction.
Invasion (war of the worlds). Adult supervision (Day the earth stood still. Uplift (2001). First contact (Close Encounters). Abduction cross breeding (X-Files). Diplomacy (Star Trek).
Most of the narritive will come into the game through the space game.
Broad variety of different worlds to visit.
Cross-pollination of content created by different players.
Going to another player's planet.
You can abduct creatures, and go back to populate zoo planet.
T shaped game.
The base of the T is a goal oriented gaming.
The player first goes through a tutorial and sandbox to learn editing tools and game play at each level.
Player can eventually surf down to the lower levels.
Goal oriented game trains you to use all the editors and teaches you the simulation dynamics at every level, from bottom to top.
Once you get to the top you can surf vertically down into the other games, that you've learned to use on the way up.
At the top of the T is a collection of science fiction story genras, that take place on top of all of the lower levels.
Once you make your way all the way up from unicellular life to intergalactic civilization, the storytelling begins.
Pull out to galactics level, 10's of thousands of worlds.
Like the movie Powers to Ten. Always wanted to roll this into a game.
SETI: Drake's equation: N = R fs fp ne fl fi fc L. Each term of the equation correspond to different power of scale.
Don't you plan on ever playing games with your kids?
The Sims is a game that kids and parents and grandparents often play together, because they have a "common ground" to share and discuss, that everyone can relate to and understand.
Playing Spore will be a great way to get your kids interested in science, evolution, nature, astronomy, biology, society, etc!
...Unless of course you don't want your kids to believe in evolution or learn about science, in which case you should keep them far away from Spore! Or better yet, if you don't believe in evolution, then do the world a favor and don't have kids! (Think of it as evolution in action.)
Although it's pretty well known that EA will let Will Wright/Maxis do whatever the hell they please, as long as it brings in the cash by the truckload.
I certainly hope that EA listens to what Will Wright says he wants to do, and lets him do it without throwing up any roadblocks. The last group of people who thought they knew better than Will Wright caused SimCity 3000 to be delayed by many years, and almost bankrupt Maxis. If they had just done what he said, they would be on top of the world, but instead they all got fired after EA bought Maxis and cleaned house.
If you bill by the hour, then this software will actually cause you to make a lot less money, because it saves you time, so you can't bill for as many hours!
I wish you people who believe in supernatural magic would lay off attacking world trade centers and athiests and gays and the educational system and science.
I thought you served Jesus first, not yourself. No wonder you never got invited to the last supper. You would have eaten all the fish, and JC would have had to perform another miracle.
Sure, I'll walk you through the flip flopping and goal post moving: You made up your own unique definition of the word "Christianity", which flagrently disagrees with the official definition, and only under repeated questioning did you reveal little by little that your definition is totally different than the standard definition. That's moving the goal posts. You should use another word if you're going to redefine it whenever it seems convenient, or you should state up front that you're a Christian except that you 1) don't hate gays 2) don't believe the bible 3) don't believe in creationism, etc.
It's ironic and hillarious that you, a Christian, would accuse other people of sloppy thinking, when you think you know what Jesus Christ actually taught, yourself. That's extremely sloppy thinking. The bible was not written by God, and if you believe that, you're a sloppy thinker. But if you believe that the regular human beings who wrote it and translated it were actually telling the truth, didn't distort anything, and had no political agenda, then you're a sloppy thinker, and a gullible fool.
If you weren't such a sloppy thinker, then you should be able to think through all the fairy tales and convince yourself that they're bullshit. If Christ ascended to heaven after the resurrection, then where is heaven? How high up is it? Is it higher than the atmosphere extends? Why didn't he suffer from explosive decompression? Why hasn't the space shuttle run across any angels? Come on, it should be at least as easy for an grown adult to figure out the bible is bullshit, as a 12-year-old kid can figure out that Santa Clause couldn't possibly exist. Do the math!
How do you know what Jesus really taught? Your definition of "Christian" is essentially the same as the definition given on the KKK web site, a self-proclaimed "Christian" organization. So how does simply claiming that you follow the teaching of Christ make you any better than the KKK? You don't know what Christ really taught, and neither does the KKK. But both of you claim to be Christian and follow Jesus Christ. You seem to have a lot more disagreements with mainstream Christianity than the KKK does, so are they more Christian than you?
Some people get confused because our name is The Knights Party, but we use some of the symbolism of the Ku Klux Klan, and volunteers for The Knights Party are called Klansman or Klanswoman etc. Let me explain using the term Christian. A Christian is a man or woman who believes in and follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. There are many opinions about what those beliefs are. There are religious systems that have been built up over the centuries which organize Christians into different groups (church denominations) all of who may or may not believe quite the same. The central theme however is obedience to Jesus Christ and his Word. No church today can claim direct ties to Jesus Christ - Although the ancient church of Britain preceded Rome in the acceptance and national adoption of Christianity.
Talking about knowing how Christ defined Christianty, as if you knew, is extremely sloppy thinking.
You're interpreting something written by an interpreter (with his own political agenda) translating something written by a bunch of manipulative old bastards who never met Christ themselves. So who says your interpretation is correct? You have no idea how Christ really defined Christianity. It's an unknown. Your incredibly sloppy thinking is that you're making up your own personal interpretation of a bunch of lies, and expecting people to understand your unstated redefinition of a well known term, and give you the benefit of the doubt that you've thrown away all the stupid parts and retained only what's true. I call bullshit.
Did you miss the question about gay marriage, or ignore it on purpose because you're afraid to define and defend your beliefs in public? Why do you self-identify with a group of people who overwhelmingly oppose gay marriage, and actually think that making gay marriage illegal is an important social issue, worthy of a constitutional ammendment? Do you or do you not agree with them?
Have you confronted any of those gay-bashing people and tried to convinced them that they're wrong, with as much enthusiasm as you're trying to convince us that your own personal definition of "Christianity" is valid? Why don't you try to change the opinions and behaviors of people who are actually trying to hurt other people, instead of us?
Dogmatic Christian beliefs are incredibly sloppy thinking, that lead people to bad conclusions, and horrible behavior. Much sloppier than the stereotypes that make you so huffy.
So why aren't you all huffy and in-your-face with the dogmatic Christians who are giving Christianity a bad name? When's the last time you had an argument with a Creationist, and tried to change his small closed mind? They're doing a lot more damage to Christ's legacy by calling themselves Christians, than the open-minded evidence-driven people who think Christians are insane and stupid because the majority of them act that way. Why don't you "protest too much" to the dogmatic Christians who are actually causing the problem by being stupid and acting evil?
But those Jews are all going to hell, ehe? After all, they killed Jesus, which makes you and Mel Gibson so very mad. And of course all the muslims are going to hell, and so are the athiests, which makes you very happy to be Christian. Doesn't that make you feel smug and self rightious? How nice and Christian of you.
