Quote from Barth Vader:
Your making the assumption that I believe the Earth is 6000 years old.
I believe G-D created the heavens and the earth. I have no idea how old or young it is.
Quote from OTCkrak:
evolutionary theory does not discredit Christianity.
Christians could accept the fact that God started the evolutionary process and "one day" in biblical terms may be millions of years.
thats the only reconciliation.
there some holes in evolutionary theory but i would not go so far as to call them flaws..
the Platypus being one of them and a lack of fossil examples of "intermediary" species> show me an adult giraffe with a neck hasn't evolved to the same dimensions/proportions.
with all the advances in chemistry and biology.. scientist have yet to simply "create" a single celled organism in a controlled environment using base materials from ancient earth..
Quote from acronym:
Why does god cause cancer, warfare, mass murder, ebola virus, malaria,or teenage pregnancy?
This "god" cannot be a just or fair god, and thus, if he is supposedly omnipotent, he is one evil mofo;
not to be respected, loved, worshipped, prayed to or feared, but an enemy of humankind, to be fought at every step, by whatever means possible.
By the way, my stance is that biblical god is evil, the devil per se, and as such, bible believers are sick human beings, devil worshippers etc, just to clarify. I dont believe in either , incidentally.
Just humanity, and actual, real existence.
Also, they are called MONOTREMES, the Echidna being another of that thing/genus/family/creation/whatever.

Also, the Okapi is a fine canditate for an intermediary species for a giraffe

Amazingly, christians havent killed them all and driven them to extinction yet, unlike the Passenger pidgeon, the Dodo, the Great Auk, etc etc.
That being said, the lack of intermediary species is problematic, on an objective basis-largely, because fossils tend to be buried under millions of years of dirt, so unless someone is going to mine the planet for fossils, (unlikely) these things could well remain a mystery for some time.
It's only with modern genetic analysis, people figured out Hyena's were more closely related to cats, than canines-whouda thunk?
So god, if your listening, get bent, you sick , cowardly, worthless mofo.

Let's see, you can capitalize pigeons, dodo birds, auks...but not God or Christians?
Isn't about time you grew up spit out that Jesus juice that is still stuck in your craw from all the dick sucking you did in a confessional?
Quote from peilthetraveler:
Sin caused all that, not God. Adam was told he was free to eat from any tree, but warned there would be consequences if he ate the tree of knowledge.
Adam was told that he if ate the fruit he would surely die. Cancer, warfare, mass murder, ebola virus and malaria are all death.
Teenage pregnancy is not caused by God. (except for that one time 2000 years ago with Mary) Teen pregnancy is caused by sex, not God.
Just like God promised that eatting the fruit of the tree of knowledge would cause death(all those things you named above) he also promised Life to those that believed and repented. How can God be evil when he promises life to everyone that accepts it and believes? Just one the the many reasons God is Good.

You sad, lonely troll.
Capitalizing is so important huh-according to the bible, these animals were god's creation's, it took human beings to give them a name we could identify them with-and then killed them all.
"Stewardship", as no1 species, over all others. Wonderful.
Why should those things need capitalization? It's mostly Mico$soft prompting anyway, if god exists, he understands, and likely will not be buying an "ipad", because he thinks it's a stupid waste of resources, intelligence, time, and money, because it won't be cheap, and it's functionality is limited, V's opposing products.
There is some evolutionary theory, right there!!!!Awesome.
BTW, I have no idea WTF your last paragraph meant, or was supposed to mean, it's obvious you are easily intimidated and offended by anything contrasting YOUR world view, with reality.
Get help Zzz, before it's to late.
i hope your not suggesting, catholic priests are all child molesters, for a start.
Grow up?
Have you survived 4 counts of attempted murder? Have you been clinically dead? Ever had to defend yourself with a knife? Ever come face to face with a serial killer?
Ever told someone they will get prostate cancer, and they have about 5 years? I have.
Capitalize on that, you troll'tard.
