Re: Aliens and the flood
As it stands there are 2 thoughts on the subject of creation. One being ID and the other being evolution. I just havent found one thing that puts ToE as a valid assumption.
Then I suggest that you learn some biology.
There is no explanation of how all of the matter [our Universe] got here. There is no explanation how inanimate matter achieved life. The fossil evidence disproved speciation over long periods of time; in fact it has been all but abandoned for a newer theory or concept called Punctuated Equilibria (PE). PE relies on some mystical process where fish gave birth to birds and dinosaurs gave birth to mammals.
Before you wrote this, why didn't you find out what Punctuated Evolution is? Rather than making up a lot of rubbish in yor head?
Some of the "unexplainable" things of the Bible are being explained by science. For instance, science wont acknowledge it ...
So science won't acknowledge what science has explained? Funny old science, eh?
but the structure of the DNA molecule indicates an intelligent design for easy manipulation and this would be more plausible for the birth of mammals and birds rather than saying "somehow" dinosaurs laid eggs which gave birth to mammals.
That is ludicrous.
It is ludicrous. To be precise, it's ludicrous nonsense which you made up in your head. It has nothing to do with evolution, as you would know if you had bothered to learn the first damn thing about evolution before shooting your mouth off about it in public.
Science has been playing with this probability for decades; the result, when achieved, is a sterile offspring; which by the way always looks like at least a combination of the parents.
This is so far removed from reality that I can't even figure out what it is you're distorting.
Please learn something about biology. Anything, it's all good.

Re: Aliens and the flood
I did do research on PE. Since the fossil record did not show a slow steady change as ToE had proposed, but rather a very long period of "stasis", then a vast explosion of speciation, the original theory was scrapped for the new "concept". I understand PE quite well and see it is full of holes. In fact PE is an indication of the probability of ID (possibly even alien intervention when life on earth gets in trouble).
Er ... but this is rubbish from start to finish.
How did you research punctuated equilibrium? By pulling words at random out of a hat?
It has everything to do with how life "is" on this planet
No, dinosaurs laying eggs that gave birth to mammals has nothing to do with "how life "is" on this planet". That is not how evolution works.

Evolution means literally to progress.
No it doesn't.
I would like to know how something can evolve yet digress?
And apparently you don't know what "digress" means either.
It means to go off topic.
Which reminds me ... those aliens in the Bible?

Re: Aliens and the flood
Biblical scholars are looking all the time for signs and post them on the web.
People have been finding signs of the end times for the past 2000 years; what make you think that this time they've got it right?
They are not all going to be these "earth shaking" signs that cannot be mistaken. Some are going to be "subtle". To me the most absurd sign is the one predicting that the lion will lie down with the lamb. Everyone, including me, thought this was going to be an overall change in animal behavior; but not necessarily so. Last year a wildlife photographer in Africa witnessed a female lion that saved a young goat (lamb) when its mother had been killed. The lioness protected the lamb from other lions for about two weeks before she was distracted and the lamb was killed. Everything about this event goes against the natural predator instinct of the lioness. Whether you like it or not it fullfills Scriptural Prophecy.
Regardless of whether sheep are goats (they aren't) the animal adopted by the lioness was in fact an oryx, which is a type of antelope. You've not just got the wrong genus, you've got the wrong sub-family of Bovidae.

Re: Skeptic? You Bet!
Its about reaching for the stars, mate. Letting go of the reins, trusting in the wholeness of the Spirit. Let your self fly with the eagles, and transcend through the fogy haze of your senses. Be one, and be at peace. And pass the blunt, don't forget to share.
So you base your statements on the daydreams that you indulge in when you're high? Well, it's a free country, but why do you suppose that anyone else should be interested in your drug-fueled delusions?
Although you seem to think I lack the ability to use reason and logic ...
Yes. I wonder what could have given us that impression?
I don't think your pet evolution as origins science is worth two shits on a cracker.
You remember how I just explained to you that we're not particularly interested in the crazy fantasies that fester in your drug-addled mind?
Well, we're not.

Re: Skeptic? You Bet!
Notice your original question:
How is the Christian God served by believing UFOs are anything but misinterpretations of physical phenomena?
Your stupid question deserves a stupid comment. You foolishly loaded this tacky question with your small minded world views.
What a strange lie. I asked no such question. I think you must have meant to shriek this gibberish at someone else.
You are as alien to me, as a shit cracker.
Your stupid question deserves a stupid comment. You foolishly loaded this tacky question with your small minded world views. Your implications taste like a shit cracker (SC). You think your opinion is right and anyone who hints at the supernatural is a quack. You can't accept anything but at face value and your arrogant mocking of anything outside the Adaquate radar is bullshit. Your new name is SC.
Tasteless and snide SC, could you inflate your ego anymore or is your evolution circle jerk causing less SC time?
speak for your self SC. Aliens are just other creatures in the galaxy and you are a small small man-child-cracker. Get over it, and stop hiding behind your precious "science".
I seem to remember Jesus advising his followers to be "wise as serpents and gentle as doves".
I wonder which that was meant to be?
