My Favorite (to date) take down of Creationism.

Hey guys it does not matter if LittleNipper is right or wrong. Your reaction says more about you than any comment about a flood. Let people believe what they wish. I personally don't care what people believe.

Is your goal to drive everyone from this site that does not fit your worldview? Your tactics tell me that is your goal.

It's my goal to correct erroneous statements such as those made by Nipper regarding the Alps. Apparently it's your goal to convince us that some sort of persecution is going on? You think that we are to treat the Book of Mormon with skepticism but not the Bible? Why? The same weaknesses exist in both, it's just that the Bible's are further removed and more obscure. Your argument is with secularism and modernism. Not with me and any "tactics".

The reason we have all of these beliefs on this planet is because we were designed to maximize opposition. This gives the host spirit a guaranteed nonboring experience in the flesh. We are in a sea of opinions about everything. This is no accident.

But if you can't see a purpose to all of this then you get trapped in a belief system. You then oppose those around you that may think differently than you do. It is all so simple to see once you step back and look at it. But most are stuck in their belief system

No one on this site is responsible to correct or change anybody. Yet many act out as if it is their mission in life to correct what they feel is an incorrect opinion. What they don't realize is they are programmed to do this and are really acting like a puppet.

Luk_21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

This covers more than false Christs.

you get trapped in a belief system.

Unlike Frank who has evidence for his position.

You then oppose those around you that may think differently than you do.

Like you are doing Frank?

What are you doing Frank?

What they don't realize is they are programmed to do this and are really acting like a puppet.

Unlike Frank who pulls the puppet
strings.

Luk_21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

This covers more than false Christs.

It covers false Franks.

I am not trying to change you Frank. I am simply enjoying the show. I haven't had this many good laughs in quite a long while. Thank you.

Spotlight,

I would like you to explain why the brain evolved in such a way that human belief systems became so diverse and emotional.

Frank, any good high school science teacher can tell you this. You live in a country with an excellent educational system. Don't you think it's rather telling that you won't use it, that in fact you reject it?

Aquinas warned us about the "man of one book". Sounds like you, Frank.

So I take this as you don't know.

I understand that there's a book of fables that said a big sky fairy did it. If I read that book, can I say that then I "know"? In your nearest public library are all kinds of books, not Bibles, that talk about it in terms that can be studied and verified. Books you're not going to read, because you think you already "know".

Start here, Frank:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_emotion

Or would you like me to cut and paste it for you like you do the Bible that you can't explain?

And here is one on the evolution of religions:

After you've read those, come back and we'll talk.

There is enough evidence that everything was either once covered by water or that it is more recent. You may wish to realize that that Alps were not there for the Flood but were the end result of the Flood cause buckling of the earth's surface. The oceans descended and the mountains ascended and Noah found himself on a mountain. All the evidence is not accepted as evidence for everyone. Some is distorted, some overlooked, and some is just plain too unsettling for a secular mind with secular motives to accept.

Completely incorrect. As per Wikipedia, "The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. "

Evidence from the Morris dynasty of creationist fantasists is not evidence, dear one. None of what you are preaching is accepted in schools of geology throughout the world, only in religious subsidiary organizations of apologists. Professions of articles of faith preclude scientific enterprise in this century. Your interpretations of geologic formations are without basis and insulting to the thousands of scientists and engineers who have labored to produce the evidence that you ignore, and who manage to run real world activities based on this knowledge without Bible in hand.

You do not have to get your understanding of science from Jack Chick comics. There are religious people throughout the world who do not accept young earth creationism. This is not a matter of faith but of fanaticism.

And everyone totally realizes that Wikipedia is the end all for "fact" ---- or is it just regurgitating what is presently societies accepted rationalizations? The strata was created and looked however ancient to the unenlightened observer. Then during the Flood and soon after the strata buckled, fractured, slid, was ultimately forced upward over itself forming mountain ranges. What had been underwater ended up upon mountain peaks. At the same time this caused heat which stirred up volcanic eruptions. During all this there were meteor/asteroid strikes. RAIN from heaven and geysers (fountains of the deep) shooting upward. Whether there was once an ice canopy surrounding this planet which ultimately collapsed is anyone's guess; however, with GOD all things are possible.

After you've read those, come back and we'll talk.

But why did evolution make these emotions. To what benefit to the species? How did emotions grow step by step over millions of years? Your links do not give any detail as to why evolution took this direction. It looks like a story written by Darwin and you accepted it.
