		<description>OK, just for the hello vit...

Jaella (345) said:
&lt;blockquote&gt;I am a firm creationist. Some of you may not agree, but just because you don’t believe the fact that the earth is six thousand years old doesn’t change the fact that it’s true.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Actually, it can&#039;t be true.

Every measure we have of the age of pieces of the Earth proves that it is many orders of magnitude older.  Just because you don&#039;t believe it doesn&#039;t make it false.

And I don&#039;t need to &quot;believe&quot; the age of the Earth, because we have &lt;i&gt;measured&lt;/i&gt; it.

&lt;blockquote&gt; (Same with the bible! Just cause you don’t believe in hell doesn’t mean God-and by ‘God’ I mean Jehova God, Adonai, Father God, Jesus Christ, Holy spirit- won’t send you there if you don’t believe in Christ!)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And where does it say that the Bible is the word of god?  In the bible.

Right.  I beseech you to pull the other one, for it doth have bells attached.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Check out Kent Hovand’s web site.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Kent Hovind is a proven liar.  If he cares not for the 9th commandment, why should we care what he says?

&lt;blockquote&gt;You all are freaking out about conservatives not having open minds. Don’t be hypocrites! Look at his web site.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, quite.  How about you open &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; mind and go and look at the science, not some liar&#039;s strawman representation of it?

&lt;blockquote&gt;There are piles of evidence that the seven day creation theory is true.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is a lie.

&lt;blockquote&gt; Piles of evidence that Noah’s flood actually happened.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There has never been a global flood.  And there is no evidence for any global flood.

&lt;blockquote&gt;(By the way, not even Darwin believed completely in his theory)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

That&#039;s another lie, I&#039;m afraid.  He was sufficiently convinced that he had hit upon the correct means by which nature generates diversity.</description>

		<description>Indygirl (341) said:
&lt;blockquote&gt;What is so hard to understand that the Creator finds nothing to be hard? The unsaved man cannot understand that God could create uranium and its very nature is to be “old” and God created the Earth and He can create something at any stage. This sentence isn’t coming out quite right, but you get the general idea. What is too hard for God? Nothing. Just because you can’t wrap your mind around it, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I have no problem in &quot;wrapping my head around&quot; this concept, any more than the concept of a singular creation 6000 years ago.

There are only two issues I have with this extremely simple concept:
(1) Ah, I see you believe in the Great Deceiver, yes?  (IOW, what possible reason could god have for deceiving us all, and how could we ever detect such a reason?)
(2) No, actually, the entire universe was created last Thursday, but with the appearance of great antiquity (including all memories you may have of events that you perceive to have happened prior to last Thursday).

The concept of a recent creation with the appearance of great age is not &lt;i&gt;hard&lt;/i&gt;, it is &lt;i&gt;logically untenable&lt;/i&gt;.</description>

Oh, and hail Satan while i&#039;m here.</description>

		<description>Jaella&#039;s right, as many others who might know the Truth.
I&#039;m suprised!
The DISCRIMINATION and HATRED!!! You are so foolishly willingly ignorant!
Why do you hate God so much? You think Hell will be a party?! Believe and trust in the Lord Jesus christ! In His righteousness you shall be saved and born again!
I&#039;m just, astonished, of the hatred and ignorance, you&#039;re (as in the lost peoples) just like the billions of religious peoples of the horrid earth! You need so much faith to believe in the foolish religion you believe in, religion is the worst thing to happen to earth, causing billions to go to Hell! You ignorant religious peoples, you &#039;hate&#039; religion, when you are religious your self! Usually its, evolutionist, athiest, skeptic, new ager, and some other religion, what is that, 4 religions?! You poor sheeple!
God is pure, He is the only way, not man, not religion!
Kent Hovind is one of those blessed true &quot;Christians&quot; (Christian is the label the Romans gave to the people who were Christ-like, or who followed God, Jesus is God) and so is many other true God fearing, Bible believing, sin hating, truth loving Christians! So is David Stewart.
Go find Jesus, you hypocrites, go study your selves! Do REAL research on &quot;both&quot; sides (the truth is stranger than fiction to you newbies)!
Go to www.jesus-is-savior.com
http://www.drdino.com/

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN SAVED?

Is there a time and place in your life, when you trusted in the blood of Jesus Christ?  Not joined a church, not kept the sacraments, not baptism, not good works — but simply, by faith, prayed and asked Jesus Christ to save you?
 

To die without Jesus Christ will be the worst thing you could ever do...

&quot;And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE.&quot; Revelation 20:15
 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YOU CAN BE SAVED THIS VERY MINUTE!

It&#039;s simple to be saved...

Know you&#039;re a sinner.
 
&quot;As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:&quot; Romans 3:10

&quot;... for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;&quot; Romans 3:23

Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins.
&quot;Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, ...&quot; 1 Peter 2:24

&quot;... Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,&quot; Revelation 1:5

And the best way you know how, simply trust Him, and Him alone as your personal Savior. 
&quot;For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.&quot; John 3:16

&quot;For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.&quot; Romans 10:13

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE SAVED?


Pray this prayer, and mean it with all your heart.

Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and unless you save me I am lost forever. I thank you for dying for me at Calvary. I come to you now, Lord the the best way I know how, and ask you to save me. I now receive you as my Savior.  In Jesus Christ Name, Amen.

The Lord is true, the earth is young, &#039;dinosaurs&#039; (or mostly extinct lizards, birds, and other such things) did walk with man, people were stronger and more intellegent in the past, you, and I on the other hand, are the copy of a copy of a copy.....the last of the generations!


YOU MEN ARE SO IGNORANT, YOU WONT EVEN LOOK AT THE &#039;OTHER&#039; SIDE OF YOUR &quot;TRUTH&quot;, YOU&#039;RE LIKE CHILDREN!!! &quot;LALALA I&#039;M NOT LISTENING! LALALA!!&quot;

....Revelation 21:8, &quot;But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.&quot;
