evolution is bogus

[Jesus Freak!!!!]

i dont know why she/he can reach me and not you guys, she privat emailed me. i will stick with JF for my id. i agree, lets just state our opinions and leave everyone else alone. and i am not 14. just thought i would clear that up. and even if i was, what is wrong with a 14 year old preaching, i believe it says in the Bible it says you shouldnt let any talk you down cause you are young. so i am just going to ignore that comment, cause if your a christian too, you would know that that is in the Bible. right???

I even did the math with a calculator. your Birthday says ##-##-1989 doesn't that make you 14? Either that or you have the wrong birthday
2003

1989
-------
0014 years

course I am not good with Math so maybe my calculator screwed up.
I am sure the Bible says exactly that 'don't talk down to young people' yep! I read that last week.
And I AM a Christian, so don't question me or my beliefs.
I was simply stating that it is pretty funny that a TEENager thinks they know everything. I know I did when I was that age.
I think that is even one of the stupid questions in General under that thread. Why is it that bad things happen when we aren't teenagers and know everything or something along those lines.
There are still other things that you have stated that make some of the others and I suspicious, sorry it is in our second nature, we have been screwed with before on PT.

ok I think I have finally figgered out my mistake, I said I wasn't good with math.
You haven't had a birthday yet right so you are only 13?
ok that makes it soooooooooooo much better
I would have just left it that you were 14.

I think that if you remove all the adjectives in these troublesome posters names, you can get a better description of the individual.

I don't know a single 'christian' that would put the word freak and Jesus in the same sentence structure. Nor do I know a single 'christian' that would use some of the derragatory comments JF has posted in his/her posts.....

Instead of stirring up trouble here on PT (Doghouse or not), go preach somewhere else....

hi i am back. i want you to know that i am turning 13 on saturday. i do not believe i know everything although i do strongly believe God knows everything. he has put i sextillionth (smallest number i could think of) in the Bible. I believe all of it to be true. On the matter of someone putting Jesus and freak in the same subject, perhaps you haven't heard the song by DC Talk. Yes, i do have pets. I absolutely love cats and i have four. Smokey, Friskey, Joy, and wouldn't ya know, Oreo. i also have a goldfish named Nike who will be turning two years old in November

And i quote, "The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an unproved theory-- is it then a science or faith? Belief in the theory of evolution is thus exactly parallel to belief in special creation-- both are concepts which believers know to be true, but neither, up to the present, have been capable of proof" that was the introduction quote of charles Darwin's book: Origin of natural species by means of natural selection or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life. Dr. Jobe Martin, a creationist, says this on the subject: "Let's examine what Dr. Matthews is doing. He goes from fact to unproved theory to faith to belief, and all in one paragraph! But notice he is an honest evolutionist when he notes that evolution has NO scientific proof. It is a speculation of faith. Yet, Dr. Ernst Mayr, professor emeritus of Harvard University, writes: 'Since Darwin, every knowing person agrees man descended from apes. Today, there is no such thing as the theory of evolution. It is the fact of evolution.'
Dr. Jobe Martin states: "In his writing in the Omni Magazine(which promotes evolution), Dr. Mayr presents godless evolution as a fact, even though the Creator says in Romans 1 that all men know better: "For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them" Romans 1:22 adss: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
Dr. T. N. Tahmisian of the Atomic Energy Commission agrees:
"Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con men, and the story that they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact.

What makes you think you can argue evolutionary theory with bible quotes?

Bizarre...

I guess the whole point is with religion...why bother arguing? Nobody can PROVE one way is right or wrong...we're still all going to believe differently...even people in the same religion interpret things in different ways. I guess we'll all just find out if we were right or wrong when we die....

Exactly... this is a bit of a silly thread. I'm a little upset that I got all flustered earlier...

I love to study, read about, discuss, etc. anything regarding evolution. It's definitely on of my favorite subjects, and something I strongly believe in. When someone calls it bogus, my first instinct is to defend it...

As for the debate on lotrfreak being rude... Yes, I think it IS very rude to call someone's beliefs "bogus"... especially if it is their first post ever. Even if I do not agree with peoples' beliefs I still would not call them "bogus". If lotrfreak really wanted to discuss/debate evolution there are much more appropriate and mature ways to go about doing that.

Respect Diversity! If everyone believed the exact same things the world would be a very bland place...

So you aren't technically even allowed to be on here until Saturday.
Actually I have seen DC Talk, about 12 years ago in concert., but haven't heard them for a along time.
I also agree that it is rude to call someone's beliefs bogus. Just like it is rude to say someone's belief about God or no God is ridiculous also.
I totally agree
RESPECT DIVERSITY

Being a teacher of 13, 14, and 15 year olds, I am here to say that comments like the one that started this thread are common and need to be taken under consideration of the age factor. Tact needs to be learned and at these ages, it's still being taught. Tolerance is a beautiful thing and probably something everyone in the world needs to be a little more aware of.

For the youngin's, no disrespect meant, but perhaps you should listen to what the "oldsters" on here are saying....learning and listening are also beautiful things! (no one get mad about the oldster comment ok? )

Well said. Being a young person myself I try take into considerasion of what is being said whether or not I agree with it. I find my self way to young to deicide somthing that my grandma cant even decide and as for calling somebodys beliefs bogus...Maybe to you they sound that way but to others your sound that way...
Once said by Atticus in "To Kill A MockingBird"

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... 'til you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."

IShiver, you appear to be wise beyond your years. I'm sure you will "evolve" into a beautiful, well read, caring "grown-up" because you show you are already well on your way. I just wish everyone can be so..... To Kill a Mocking Bird just happens to be one of my favorite books by the way.

[iceyshiver21]

Mine too!! That book is my all time favorite, its so well wrote. Its a pitty Harper Lee only wrote one book. Atticus is my favorite character...

because the Bible is the only way to get answers! i dont care if you think i am insulting your beliefs, because i do not want to insult you but bring you to the truth.

and with the comment, "you are going to evolvel..." is that because she agrees with you, (i dont wish to makw ishiver mad.), or just because you want to rub my noise in it??? just wondering . . .

why would i preach somewhere else??? there are thousand of souls here, why take the chance to move on and miss yours???
