You still haven't shown us where they state that their tenets of biblical creationism are "scientific". All that means is they never claimed that their tbc is scientific and has nothing to do with fraud. I'll stick to being skeptical.

P.S. Yes, I mean't couldn't.

"Could care less" means the same thing.

Actually, it means that you care a great deal. Could care less means that is possible to care less than you do--therefor establishing existence of caring.

Point 2:
WHY THE HELL ARE WE TALKING GRAMMAR ON AN EVOLUTION THREAD?

Actually, it means, well...that you could care less, not that you do care a great deal. With the statement "could care less", you are simply stating that you have not yet reached the 'lowest' level of caring, not 'how much' you care.

Donotworry, you said to me:

"As always, Jesus is God. He loves you. He wants you. Just repent and open up to Him. It will change your life."

Your assumption that I have done something for which I should repent is downright libelous.

Please provide details of any offence that I have committed in the secular world which is my milieu.

Provide details or withdraw your comment and apologise.

You have absolutely no right to make such scandalous statements.

If an article entitled, "The Bible Is a Textbook of Science," or indeed, the title of the article itself, fails to stimulate the requisite neurotransmitters in your personal brain, then I'm afraid there is little more I can do.

Given the totality of the material at icr.org, and especially its notoriously censorious discussion boards, if the ICR's denizens were to deny claiming such a thing, then obviously it has everything to do with fraud.

Welcome to the club, for all the wrong reasons.

So what you are saying is that you are perfect in every way? Never committed a "sin"? You have never spoken against a person in a negative way? You have never lied, fibbed or stretched the truth? Pride? You have never had lustful thoughts? This is a religious topic we are discussing here so should be familiar with the terms.

Basically, I don't know the exact nature of your sin. I do know you do sin. Heck, I know my beloved fiancee sins (who I consider to be one of the best people I have ever met). I know my pastor sins. Which sins do these people commit? I don't know. That is for Jesus to know and judge.

Jesus/God will judge me because he created a world which compelled me to not believe in him?

You are making the erroneous assumption that because we reject your beliefs about Jesus, that we think humans are perfect and without flaw.

Donotworry---I think the Taliban is a horrible group. I don't like their system of justice, I don't agree with their dispersement of punishment and reward.

However, this does not mean that I reject all systems of justice.

Do you see the difference?

I do not believe that a floating god up in the sky is playing chess with all of us.

I do not believe in a god that devised a "redemption" system by killing an innocent man on a cross, and in doing so planned on humans breaking his own commandments.

I do believe that humans should treat each other with respect, decency, and love. And there should be punishments for people who break the laws and codes of society. These punishments should be fair, and take into account the person's intent, and intelligence. I.e.--this system of justice should be exactly opposite of what we read about in the Bible.

The Bible is an immoral code--it serves as a bad example of how to live, and how to set up a justice system.

well, in the meantime I am going to worry about life on earth (that we all know for sure really does exist).

British spelling, perhaps?
