Firstly, Christianity is not 'religion', it is about 'relationship'between man and His Saviour. 'Religion' in the aspect of which you speak comes from tradition and rules taught by men. The relationship that Christianity entails exists without denomination (catholic, anglican, etc). God never intended for a bunch of 'religions' anyway. In fact, He despised it as seen with His attitude toward the Pharisees and Sadducees. In that light, one can express himself in any way he chooses to His God. Whether that is through pop, rock, hip-hop or whatever. All things are sanctified once committed to God for His elite purpose of being glorified and drawing man to Himself (as it was in the beginning). He is waiting for us to return to our origin. A new spirit that has legal access to the earth through a dirt body (ish-hebrew for man).

Which one�s that? Africa? The trees? The oceans? Sorry, but I�m unlikely to go to any of those.

Huh? Looks like gibber-ish.

I guess you can offer some evidence for all this, lest we just call it baloney (ish - American for cobblers).

That would be Jesus, not God.

I'm sorry, but Islam is also a relationship with God. One of submission, but a relationship nonetheless. Hindus also have relationshoips with their gods. Trying to redefine the word 'religion' in order to rationalize one's own rejection of other religions is a poor argument. Christianity is a religion, period. It has thousands of different sects around the world. Your sect is one of them. And that's ok.

Cheers,

KC

I have some info for you on his teeth assertion: ask your dentist if he can see a second set of teeth growing in X-rays of your jaw. He can. Guess what is NOT seen, routinely? A third set. Ever. Look at those 120+ year olds that vie for the world record of oldest person--not one of them has cut a third set of teeth. I wonder why?

But many of them have a third set of teeth. They repose during the night in a glass full of cleaning and disinfecting liquid ....

Yeah, we brought that up in the original thread. He tried to get arround that but got a lesson in devolopmental biology and embarrassed himself in the process.

I think you're all overlooking the fact that humans lived with dinosaurs <a href="http://www.genesispark.com/genpark/ancient/ancient.htm." target="_blank">http://www.genesispark.com/genpark/ancient/ancient.htm.</a> Perhaps, if you evolutionists would only look at the true evidence insead of twisting it and dismissing what you don't like, you would agree with the creationists by now.

Errrr... a few of those looked very real. Have all of those been debunked? Are any of them legitimate? The Mesopotamian cylinder seal, the Roman mosaic, the "Nile Mosaic of Palistina," the painting of the "Plesiosaur" (although it appears modern).

I know the Ica Stones are most likely hoaxes... I see where some of the cave and rock figures could be of natural origin instead of human, but gee... these other bits.. Does anyone have an explanation (apart from primitive paleontologists or blind imagination)?
