That's very convincing, it brought up many things that I hadn't thought about. Good points, good points. (I will now get back to thinking, given my new information.)
"idiots, plain and simple."Poor start.... but "What's wrong with feeling that God put the universe there for you to figure out yourself? You can still look at creation and say "It's all part of God's plan". If what you see doesn't match what's in your particular translation of the holy book, your responsibility is to find out WHY it doens't match. Translation error? Historical error? Plain old human error? Science experiment is wrong?"You finish strong! Good point.
Since when have we become a world of "theys"? There are millions of people in this country, of which many would not fit very well in a "they" box. I think you're just using exaggeration to appeal to emotions.
No, because r strategists consider life expendable, most Christians would argue the opposite. (although we DO tend to have large families. In my case, with 5 kids, I just really like kids. lol) Also, the mortality rate among Christians tends to be lower than that of the general population, which also flies in the face of r strategists.
You assume that personal preference and genetic encoding are equal. They are not. African Americans are born African American. At the very best end of spectrum your argument could be that "There is a possibility that homosexuality is genetic". Not agreeing with homosexuality and hating homosexuals are two COMPLETELY different things. For instance, I think you are dead wrong on this issue, but I'm almost positive we could still get along:)
If you're any scientist at all you WILL care about HOW things happened. Just because I don't believe in Darwin's theory and want to make a fuss about it doesn't mean I'm "fundamentalist". People fuss about stuff they don't agree with all the time:)
I love science. I always have. I spent most of my life as an atheist who loved science. Now I spend my life as a Christian who loves science. I believe the Bible's account of creation. Do I understand it? No. Do I accept it? Yes. I do not have to understand something to accept it. I do not fully understand Einstein's theory of relativity, but I accept it on his authority. I do not fully understand Darwin or his theory, but I reject it because it directly conflicts with the account of an authority which I hold higher than Darwin. There are alot of Christian who do not understand or accept science as I do, it's alien to them, and they fight it. Of course, there are many of my athiest friends who do not know Jesus the Christ as I do, He is completely alien to them, and they fight him just as unlearned Christians fight science.
One planet, One Truth, One God, billions of free minded people. Hold on kids, this is gonna get messy!

I couldn't have said it better!

We would be dumb AND immoral.......

Tell it to the IMAX owners, they are the ones limiting the showings. They aren't under the threat of lawsuit.

The only way people believe out-of-context quotations from the Bible is if they are unwilling to do research into the matter themselves.
