As far as I am concerned evolution is a fact--and I am a christian.

The bible is not infallible and is merely the jews account or testimony fo their search for god and the truth. There is much to be gained by it--such as how does one go about writing a racial covenant? Hints on how to do it is well noted in Nehemiah.

On the whole the bible is factual--mixed in with a lot of insignificant mistakes and fables.

Evolution did take place--and maybe the euphrates and tigris river flooded once drowning a lot of jewish families--but that is about the extent of what is true in the story of Noah and the Ark. The story may in fact just be giving testimony to the first dinasaur bones recorded--mistakenly thought to be the sons of god and as being giants.

I made no ethnic slur--consider me gone from this site unless what I wrote is put back in total.

Wow; I bet that threat will scare the hell out of the mods.

Reminds me of Blazing Saddles.

I had heard this was a PC board--what a waste--just what the world needs.

We'll miss you.

I didn't particularly think it was a slur either. But no matter, I hope you stick around Catman.

If you have a complaint about moderation, post it on Bugs, Problems and Complaints. Making idle threats to leave the board is counterproductive, to say the least.

Two things:

1) What was the purpose of this post? I mean, great, you're a Christian and you believe evolutionary theory best fits the facts. So what?

2) What was the slur used?

I'd tell you, but that would involve posting it again...

OK, I didn't see the alleged racial slur. But let's go with what wasn't edited out.

What exactly does one "gain" from learning how to write a racial covenant?
