It's hard to seriously consider the rest of your post when your first sentence is so absolutely wrong.

Catholics believe in CREATION, not evolution. If evolution was taught in their schools, it was Darwin's theory of Evolution, as an example not as a fact.
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.

What about this finding? ...........

Catholics that do not believe in the bible are not listening to their Pope either. Not sure why they call themselves Catholics.

Depends on what nomination. Main liner’s are radical?

I get when the sticker are truly offensive with bad language in crude pictures is a different story. A little sticker about her believes. Those two so call Sunday Christians (sin all week and ask forgiveness on Sunday) maybe need to go to church on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays

All they got to do it repent their sins and they get clean slate, some religions expect you to Go 3 or 4 times week with offering and confessions, so you’re good to go for couple days.

Those two men (i do NOT mention race, it is of no importance to youe experience) are Not Christians. This is Satans domain. Stay close to GOD in all ways and you shall be protected.

I had a "Dog is my Co-Pilot" sticker on the back of my truck, and was accosted similarly in a Home Depot parking lot. I have no doubt every word of this post is true. I think the world would be a better place if there was no religion at all.

Sad post. Complete with a threat. Would Jesus make a threat in this situation?????

Actually, that does not disprove Creation. And when I asked REAL scientists about the fossils of creatures that look "similar" to today's creatures but we no longer see, they all respond that today's species are in fossils also and that the other "older" creatures we no longer see have died out.
"Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction."
I believe that I did indicate that there is such a thing as man made evolution or species changing by inter species copulation, such as indicated by Mules. This is not natural evolution. There is NO evidence of man once being a fish or a lizard, or even an ape. If you look at fossils of butterflies from thousands of years ago, they are the same as today. The same goes for other species.
My point is not to argue the validity of Creation over Evolution, but to dispute the fact that any Bible believing religion would discount Creation. The very beginning of the Bible it says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth..." How could anyone believe that and then turn around and state that they do not believe in Creation?
I often wonder how anyone that believes in evolution cannot see how ludicrous it is when man's violence has not EVER evolved, and is the same vicious cycle as it was in the beginning of time.
But, as others on here, I digress. The baited subject on here was about the big meanie "older white men" Christians.
I would like to say thank goodness that those two men were not black, because then we would not be having this conversation. No one would be complaining about "old black men" Christians in today's sensitive time.

My spouse and I shop at that Publix all the time and have had nothing but good experiences. And unless you could prove that those to "older white men" were from the Villages, I would suggest that grouping all of us "older white men" together is a blatant miscarriage of justice... My experiences with the Villages "older white men" and older white women has almost always been positive and friendly. Of course, I do not frequent any bars. I have noticed that there are those that are always looking for something negative to say about the Villages or it's Villages people. I don't take it seriously, since generally speaking this place is much better than anywhere else I have lived in America.
Also thank goodness that most other threads in forums of the TOTV are of positive nature.

I am posting this general information from Bing. So you can read whatever it is you agree or disagree with. This is not meant to be "rude". OBB.

I have always accepted Evolution and find no quarrel with religion in it at all. If God is, He is all knowledge. I think the Bible was written for early peoples and I think tradition continues to guide people. I have always thought someone started all this and it had to be a big, huge, smart, powerful someone and that people over time saw the creator in a trillion different ways. I like the ones who see Him as good and caring. I have no problem with thinking about Him as a He. I know so many good men who have touches of Godlike qualities.


what is the fish symbol with the word evolve? - Bing

[Byte1]

The fish symbol was used by early Christians as a signal or "password" so to speak when gathering together under threat of prosecution. One individual meeting another that said they were a believer, would make the first line of the fish and the other would finish the symbol as a form of password or proof that they belonged.
Justifying the "evolution" mutation of the Christian symbol is lame. It is a perversion of the symbol, similar to those that display the cross turned upside down. Both are just an attempt to intimidate those that non-believers fear, Christians. Real Christians do not become violent over something so childish. If those gentlemen were Christians (did they really say they were?) then would not have been so intolerant. Disagreement is just another sign of our humanity. Destruction of property or vandalism are criminal acts.

If this is a true story, I see no value in complaining about it. In stead of complaining to us, like we are to blame, the authorities (Social Services?) should have been contacted and a complaint made.
Being "old" is not a crime
Being "white" is not a crime
Being a "Christian" is not a crime.
Being destructive IS a crime.
