My mommy used to be a science teacher, so I've been indoctrinated by evil evil science and I've turned away from my Savior Jesus Christ.

Yeah, right.

:lol:

My mom was indeed a science teacher; one of her more memorable pupils was John Hinckley. Yep, THAT John Hinckley.

It all comes down to faith. If you believe then you don't need a scientific explanation. For those that have faith and believes in the ultimate power of God then it's easy to believe that God can make anything possible. If someone needs to place a human explanation of a miracle then the faith just isn't there and nothing will convince that person. It's all up to each person to decide what they believe.

You do, though. If you believed you could fly and attempted to jump off a building, you would fall to your death. There is no such thing as a 'miracle'.

Thats your opinion. Obviously we disagree. This is why I will not debate religion on a visa board. You have your opinion, I have mine and ultimately the root of this discussion comes down to whether you have faith or not. It isn't something that can be proven or quantified. Therefore it is useless to debate it.

It certainly can if we're discussing specifics - like Noah's Ark. There is a movement of people in this country who seem to believe that these things are not only matters of faith, but matters of indisputable and proveable fact - and in that respect use corrupt science to further their political arguments. I believe you've said much the same about global warming...

Mad thought that is, I don't think it is as bad as basing one's actions or views on a literal interpretation of something that was written by man, the direct result of which can be the infliction of pain and suffering on their fellow men. That is to my mind the most heinous result of any literal interpretation of the bible.

The only things that are mean't to be followed verbatim are instruction manuals

and we still can't assemble a set of shelves from same

[Captain Oates 911]

One of my professors had a stripper go all the way down to a g-string and pasties in front of the entire class, which was about 90% female. He had a giant ####### too.

By definition - 'all the way' is further on than pasties and g-strings which are 'on the way'

Is that really pasties or did you mean panties ? could be edible underwear but that is so 60's

is a giant ####### like a giant schnouzer ? they nuzzle all over you and you end up soaked

God fails to save idiot in lion enclosure

A man in Ukraine set out to prove that the Lord would protect him when he clambered

into the lion enclosure at a Kiev zoo Sunday, The St Petersburg Times reports.

An official at the zoo said: "The man shouted 'God will save me, if he exists', lowered

himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions."

The man got his answer when an affronted lioness grabbed him by the throat and killed

him in front of horrified visitors. The official helpfully explained: "A lioness went straight

for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."
