Re: Current times people.
That wasn't a very Christian response......
There are many Christians, the majority even, that find no contradiction between God and evolution.
As an ex science teacher I wish evolution could be questioned in school science classes. A deeper appreciation of the theory would be attained by students if that were possible. It should be able to be questioned on scientific grounds. But not religious grounds.
It is a sad fact that the only reason anyone actually questions evolutionary theory in practise is in order to replace one of the most solidly verified scientific theories ever with deeply held but totally unsubstantiated tales of magical creation of some sort.
This is done more often than not by those who do not understand evolution, do not understand science, do not understand the nature of evidence and who in many cases arguably do not understand the bible either.
That is why those who understand evolution get so defensive about it. Evolution is constantly under attack for misguided philosophical reasons which have nothing to do with science at all.

Re: Current times people.
What do you want? Do want me to candy coat everything?
No. I want you to be civil.
If I want to talk shit, I can talk shit
If you keep talking shit you will get thrown out of here sooner or later.
If I want to cuss, I can cuss
You can 'cuss' all you want. I don't have a problem with that. Just don't be fucking rude.
I can ask for forgiveness for it later.
Are you for real or is this some kind of wind up?

Re: Current times people.
So you can do whatever you want? Act like a complete prick? Then ask for forgiveness and you are magically resolved of all responsibility because you are a Christian?
Is that what you think Christ was teaching you when you read the bible?
I think you are a wind up
If not I am sure that you won't last long here anyway.
