- Dear Singinrick,
Thank you for your input! I feel that we will have truly evolved when all the religious zealots kiss a book entitles "On the Origin of Species". They will disavow organized religion and give all those tithes to more worthy orginizations. See bonobo.org. - Reply to this comment
- I personally do not believe that we sprang forth from mud puddles, per se. Proteins formed chains, called amino acids, in wet humid envorinments. I''m not sure if this was the "puddle" you reffered to...
This "Beginning of Life" occured during the late Proterozoic Eon. Roughly about 2.5 billion years ago. - Reply to this comment
- Regarding creation..when was the last time intelligent life formed together from nothing? It is completely implausible that we could have emerged from mud puddles. It''''s like throwing a bunch of metal in the air and expecting a fully-designed spaceship to emerge.

creation is a result of eons of movements. it is not as easy as throwing metal up in the air...it has to go through test via environment then adapting, then evolving..test via environment then adapting. it is a neverending cycle. - Reply to this comment
- Congrats, Global! You have single handedly proven that the bible refers to Puff the Magic Dragon. Does it say (in whatever text you neglected to cite) where Puff lives? Now there''s entertainment. I can confidently say that we (who believe in science) have more evidence proving evolution than you do proving god created everything.
Riddle me this, Global, do YOU believe the Earth is 6000 years old? - Reply to this comment

Of course the conscience is not the only evidence for the existence of God. Regardless of social context men exhibit depraved indifference. This is why as it is written: %u201CThe law is powerless because it is weakened by the sinful nature. The mind of sinful man is death and it is hostile to God. It does not submit to God%u2019s law, nor can it do so.%u201D It is also written that: %u201CThe wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God''s invisible qualities%u2014his eternal power and divine nature%u2014have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.%u201D %u201CFurthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.%u201D For what the Law was powerless to do, God did through his Son.

- It is quite possible that Job 41:1-34 is speaking of a dinosaur. Here''s an excerpt.
14 Who can open the doors of his face,
With his terrible teeth all around?
15 His rows of scales are his pride,
Shut up tightly as with a seal;
16 One is so near another
That no air can come between them;
17 They are joined one to another,
They stick together and cannot be parted.
18 His sneezings flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lights;
Sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke goes out of his nostrils,
As from a boiling pot and burning rushes. - Reply to this comment
- lastgoodgirl, you are wrong. I am not a doubter. It takes far more faith to believe that we sprang from a mud puddle than to believe in the God of the universe. Peace.

Why? You keep making these mass generalizations. Please explain. Personally, I think it is pretty hard to believe either scenario. - Reply to this comment
- socrates, I don''''t know if you were referring to me in your post below as a "lunatic," but if you were it goes without saying that you have taken my comments entirely out of context. I never said or insinuated that anyone on this board was a lunatic.

Nope, I don''t think you''re a lunatic. That was the word that fibonacci used to describe himself. - Reply to this comment
- Isaiah 27:1
1 On that day, The LORD will punish with his sword that is cruel, great, and strong, Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the coiled serpent; and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.
It''s quite possible that the "dragon in the sea" is a reference to a dinosaur. - Reply to this comment
