You obviously missed the cart parade with the uncouth lady from Connecticut spewing an unending stream of profanity from her mouth. Insanity knows no bounds these days.

Really????
I've lived here 7 years and have yet to see a pack of rabid, angry, old white men. Do they only come out at night or on holidays? Are they invisible? Or are they a figment of your imagination???????

Not if you read Genesis as metaphor rather than totally literal.

Home Study Course About the Modern Science of Evolution | The Great Courses Plus

Have not looked at this myself. YET! But it looks very interesting. My majors in college were Philosophy and History and I took many courses on the Philosophy and/or History of Science. Evolution came up rather often as did the limitations of the scientific method. I minored in Religious Studies. This was at the University of Nevada, Reno. (UNR).

Some of these professors were also teaching judges at the National Judicial College which is on the UNR campus.

The article seems to support natural selection rather than evolution. It cites sub-species (or varieties) of foxes and giraffes, but gives no evidence how an entirely new species could evolve from any of the sub-species. You could just as easily claim that the article supports creationism in its definition of a species as a group of animals that can freely interbreed among themselves. (The Bible uses the word "kind", not "species".) Genetic mutations aren't proof of evolution on their own. A genetic mutation that produces an increase in the genome would go a long way in support of evolution, but so far we have only seen mutations that result in a decrease of genetic material.

For those of you who don't believe in God, In my opinion you are seeing the results of that every day and it's getting much worse. We have
kicked God out of Schools, Government and trying everywhere else. And as it's my opinion, I thing you're not going to believe where
we end up. But for those of us who choose to believe, we also know where were going to end up.

They called her an "ignorant c*nt" and eventually allowed her to leave. They had ripped the feet off the fish.

No the store does not have video. No she did not take a photo of these excellent Christians.

That symbol was developed by atheists as an intentional affront to christian beliefs. They could have chosen a number of other ways to get their point across, but they intentionally chose a Christian symbol. It doesn't excuse the two men in the parking lot. Spending an hour in church on Sunday doesn't make one a Christian anymore than spending an hour in a garage would make him into a car. They may call themselves Christian, but in reality they are merely practicing a form of superstition. Kind of like having that symbol on your golf cart, and a quote from The Bible in your signature line. The dichotomy is convincingly confusing.

Doubt if the Roman Emperors knew about this fish symbol at least not around the time during Jesus Christ and just after that.

Well said. Exactly as I was taught in Catholic high school in the 1970's. The Earth being created in six 24 hour days...really? Six days is symbolic for the Earth being created over billions of years.

And I am sorry Mrs. Blueash encountered these people...Christians they are most certainly not.

I would say most people in my denomination (Episcopal) believe in Evolution. God started the whole process billions of years ago...that is what I believe. The Bible was never meant to be a science textbook...this is from a Roman Catholic priest who taught at my high school in the 1970's.

Agree 100%.

I have studied many different Bible believing religions and they ALL believe in Creation.

Interviewing several scientists and archeologists, I have never found one that could prove Evolution. I have found several that have said that the Bible is a historically accurate document that is reinforced by scientific evidence. They also seem to agree that the ONLY evolution if any is man made. True evolution is natural and the lack of evidence suggests that Darwin only had a theory. By the way, Darwin himself is reported to have recanted his theory in his later days.

I attended Catholic elementary, high school and university from 1966 to 1983. Creationism was never taught in any Catholic school I attended. I am totally on board with God starting a process that took billions of years to evolve.

"One of the oldest Christian symbols is the fish. It was used by Christians to identify themselves and each other, often in times of persecution. It is often found in the Roman catacombs, a secret meeting place during the time when the Christians were persecuted for their faith by the Romans."

I have been here for 20 years, and the difference is extremely palatable. I posted already on here about needing to quit going to Paneras in Sumter because of the loud, noisy, pushy folks selling books, jewelry, water all emblazoned with the "name".

Actually saw a tall woman with a jeweled shirt carrying the "name" stopping folks, a book in hand, saying whatever and one lady turned to her after hearing some "great and wonderful thing" that was done and she simply said......"Oh, how so"....which dampened the enthusiasm.

But Boomer is on very solid ground

I hope you enjoy your studies. Sounds fascinating. Right now I am reading a book on the problems with mathematical modeling in physics which is philosophy of science oriented. It’s title is “Lost in Math”.
