Re: Death/Dying
OK, GMan, here is my answer, but I suspect we are going to reach an impasse from the start because of the large differences we have about how to interpret the Bible. Here goes, anyway: Wikipedia and I asked, “Where, in the Bible, is it written that, 'All men are guilty and condemnable for the nature...

Re: Death/Dying
Heh, heh....well, you caught me - but I didn't get it all from Wikipedia. I had three more sources, but most of it came from Wiki. I would like to take a stab at an answer, but I'll have to do it tomorrow. Thanx for responding.

Re: Death/Dying
Hi Bart - Yes, I see that now and apologize to Gobuffalo. I decided to respond to his post - then when I referred back to it, I only read the first line. Anyway, if I may comment - frequently those who think quite differently on issues simply don't bring them up. But since we're supposed to chat in ...

Re: A few questions for you guys...
1. The developing embryo, whether eventually male or female, starts out with the same equipment. Testosterone starts the procedure that suppresses full breast development in males. Many people have accessary nipples in the "nipple line" which betrays their evolutionary heritage. appendix -...

Re: Questions on Evolution
Excerpts from the scientific, evolution-utilizing Bible: In the beginning there was God who created hydrothermal vents and said, "Let there be life." And life formed and it was good. But life was lonely so God said, "let there be parasites." But the parasites smote much of the ot...

Re: Christians Please Answer
May I inject a more liberal interpretation, please. Thomas Jefferson did his own Bible. He took a pair of scissors to the gospels and letters and removed all the parts he didn't like - miracles, healings, anything that smacked of dogma, anything Paul wrote, Hell, etc., including only selected words ...

Re: Another far reaching attempt.
>>No matter how far out a theory is if it supports Darwin it gets front page coverage<< Wow...you'd think science supports Darwinism. >>What they did not tell you is that many things were left out of the ball.

Re: The “Gay Gene” again
>>According to our Calvinist friends he [God] predestines some to damnation and them judges them for it<< I agree with the poster that this concept is not a good one, and like sparse references against homosexuality in the Bible, was written by a fallible person or persons during the Bronze age.

Re: The “Gay Gene” again
Bart: "One would think as well since the human genome has been fully recorded that one could research on that basis instead of the behavior of rodents." Ummmm, let's see, Bart, how we would do that. I got it! We'd do a double blind controlled study. We'd take the half the volunteers and as...

Re: Death/Dying
>>The reason people die painfully is sin<< I think that is a little harsh. Matter of fact, I think the whole concept of sin is wrong. Illness, accidents, and death happen on this earth exactly the way one would expect them to happen if there were no interventional God. Furthermore, the idea that som...

Re: Christians Please Answer
Well, it is a chatroom, which by virtue of relative anonymity reduces the inhibitions. It can cause one to change their threshold for insulting and for being insulted. This place is mild.
