Please tell me that you are only kidding

I find humor is the best way I can deal with fundies and creotards. I leave the fine details of the debate to people like Thomas who seems to know quite a bit more than I do about the current Theory of Evolution, and are better at debate.

Ah well, here is the good thing about the ToE: It is so immensely vast, that no one is an expert on 'evolution', but only (small) parts of it.

It is a Theory consisting out of millions of facts - so even though some guy may know more than you (eg. anatomy, paleontology, botany) you may know more about the biology, for instance.

Agreed. I'm several years behind the times. I find some the links given very helpful tools to update myself.

Not true, many sites only allow a small piece plus a link to the source, rather than large cut and paste. There have been several lawsuits over it and in most cases, the one doing to copy and paste lost. All I was doing was offering a little friendly advice, Lang is being a shyte about it.

"scientific community"
More like a nut farm with that long line of failed theory's and ridicules
Hypothesis like pre big bang singularity
And that life is self starting and evolution.

Yup...sure would have...

Sorry, forreal, I was slow in understanding what you were trying to say.
I had to read through all your flaming and name-calling to find any content.
Let me see if I got it right this time:
God made all the stars strictly for our amusement,
and Mars counts as a star.
Since it's all for us, there was no reason for God to put life anywhere else.
Did I get it right this time?

It was created for Adam who was made in the image and likeness of God.

A new Earth will be for believers in Christ. This one will pass away.

Did Adam (or Eve) have a belly-button?

Does God (being made in the likeness of God, and all...)?

God was said to have a cloudlike spiritual form and his hands were seen but not his face or body as are as I know.

So you're saying that your god made a mistake in creating it?

[RU CRS]

For some reason some of the lyrics to Cat Stevens song "FATHER AND SON" come to mind to me today* All the times that I've cried keeping all the things I knew inside * Its hard but its harder to ignore it * If they were right then Id agree but its them they know not me * Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away * I know I have to go****

I know that man has grieved God, and it repented him that he even made man.

Firstly, Vampires are a creation by fiction writers.
Secondly, Vampire Bats are named after vampires
Many organisms feed on blood. Mosquitos, bats, leeches. That doesn't mean that Dracula is real.

But fiction is based on truth...

I mean look at evolution...

You asked a question yesterday if anything gets me sad?

I posted a picture to you...but I felt from the Lord you needed/deserved a better answer...

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
New International Version (NIV)

Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

This can really be applied to every area of life. Our hope is in Him. And when we rest in that we can overcome any kind of sadness...

I hope this a better answer and might encourage you for what you might be facing right now. Do you need prayer for anything by chance?

I truly thank you for that encouragement today, I needed that. I just need a little time now to wipe my eyes and get away from this.

Would a girl kissing a frog and the frog turning into a prince be considered evolution?

Well you and I would call it magic, the evolutionist would call it the theory of punctuated equilibrium.
