    Bolt, how do you explain the microscopic organisms that have no other purpose other than to eat optic nerves, causing blindness?

    I suppose that you could say that they are a creation of Satan, but that causes a problem - only your God can create life...

  2. hey, uh, what does this entire series of topics have to do with trading?

    aren't religious or theocratic discussions seperate and different from financial or trading discussions?

    what is the objective of mixing these two, or shouldn't these be on a religious thread/forum/website?

  3. just a quick question..

    If god is almighty and all knowing,

    why doesn't he fix the tumor before it starts?

    Why wait unless he has something to prove?

    That would be very ineffecient. Unless he is trying to impress someone.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a godless atheist.

    just not the traditional "savior" white-bearded thing..

    Personally, i'm coming to believe life is more like a "downward" semi-impersonal maturation process rather than an upward "eternally heavenly" attainment for an "individual".

    My own belief is that "universal conciousness" grows and refines automatically by WHATEVER it comes into contact with.
    Good or Bad.

    That universal conciousness "looks through us" to experience everything possible.

    It is semi-impersonal, because it happens THROUGH us, (in spite of us, sometimes) yet includes us.

    This also leaves room for GRACE. (which I equate to an organism protecting "individual" cells against environmental damage. (satan.. lol)

    just my 1 cent.. :)

  4. ''...you explain micro organisms that cause blindness''-Tampa partial quote.

    Will do and use something easy on the eyes.:cool:

    They have caused death,but not as much death as micro organisms.[same principle]

    God [Word] created lion kills God created cattle,sheep,people.:mad:

    Answer-That Hebrew teen [David] tells the Hebrew king;
    ''Thy servant killed both the lion and the bear'' That uncircumcised philistine is about to lose a slingshot battle.

  7. Evolutionists often insist that evolution is a proved fact of
    science, providing the very framework of scientific interpretation,
    especially in the biological sciences. This, of course, is nothing but
    wishful thinking. Evolution is not even a scientific hypothesis, since
    there is no conceivable way in which it can be tested.

  8. As a matter of fact, many leading evolutionists have recognized the essentially "religious" character of evolutionism. Even though they themselves believe evolution to be true, they acknowledge the fact that they _believe_ it! "Science", however, is not supposed to be something one "believes." Science is knowledge -- that which can be demonstrated and observed and repeated. Evolution cannot be proved, or even tested; it can only be believed.

  9. How could the theory of evolution even conceivably be "proved" to the same degree as "the fact that the earth goes around the sun"? The latter is an observable feature of present-day reality, whereas the former deals primarily with non-repeatable events of the very distant past. The appropriate comparison would be between the theory of evolution and the accepted theory of the origin of the solar system.

  10. In accepting the theory of evolution, we are asked to accept as
    fact many other theories. Evolution is not one theory, but a complex series of theories. It is based upon many preconceived `facts`. Any time someone begins piling theory upon theory, the stack of theories becomes like a chain. The failure of any one theory can easily nullify the others.
