    It's my middle name, as well as my dad's middle name. It is also my grandfather's first name, as well as his father's first name.



    How did I come NOT to believe in God? I don't know. I chose not to believe in a fictional text and went with scientifical evidence instead.

    You are absolutely enitled to believe what you wish-but, all due respect young man-please don't belittle and ridicule my God here any more ok? Nor my Bible. I will do the same for you.

    There is nothing that anyone can say here that is going to change what your scholars have injected into your mind to silence your soul on a daily basis! These ARE Godless times, and, judging by your age, you are in the thick of it. Spend 5 lil minutes on MTV and you will get an eyefull of what the youth is being fed! Yesterday my wife was flipping channels and hollered "FRANK! GET IN HERE QUICK!!!" I stubbed the hell out of my toe just to see two joyboys tongue kissing in a bath of stewed tomatoes or something-COME ON!!!!! MTV!! I am not surprized at all that you don't believe in God. I bet he never got a fighting chance with you.

    In answer to your question, you know I can't prove He is real. I have faith. So do MILLIONS of others. I don't knock you either, how's that?

    Who said I was trying to offend you? You said "prove God is real". I answered you. Waste of time.

    Somehow, I don't think that ANY of us can PROVE anything that we believe in--its all faith. That's what believing in something is. :)

    Yes faith is a concept that some have trouble with. the fact that there is no hard core evidence bothers those who need factual information and statistics

    There is a difference between evolution and adaptation. The point is that they are still DOGS! Not birds or anything else. Adaptation is a completely different thing than evolution.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    so ur trying to say that its no where close to evolution if a dog breed chaged to another dog breed? evolution is monkeys changing to other monkeys to other monkeys then to people...they changed from monkey to monkey before changing to people...just like dog to dog. i'm not sayig that anything else will entually turn into another species of human...but u cant deny the similar paths from inside the species changing

    Hey Bob will you talk to me? I can't seem to get anyone to acknowledge my simple little questions. Didn't get to see these so called 'Jesus' pics. But don't worry, I can't be offended because no one in this world has to answer to me. I stay busy trying to cmoa.

    Back on topic.
    I ask these previous questions because I'm trying to lay a foundation for evolution.

    The foundation for creation is Genesis. And as far as proof, I lived without a relationship with God for many years and areas of my life were getting terrible. After accepting the free gift of Jesus Christ I began to see God work in my life and have seen many 'miracles' in my life. You see, even in evolution they claim to have some miracles, but they just don't claim to have a 'miracle maker'. I have a miracle maker.
    I will not try to convert you, and you can't convert me. I can only say that if your heart is ever open to God, seek Him and he will be there for you.
    Speaking of proof, shoot, none of you exist because I have never seen, heard, touched or smelt any of you. Pictures don't count because they are anywhere on the internet. They just fall in here out of cyberspace every now and then. Except longbow, seen him one time when he gave me a great deal on wheels and tires. I have proof he is a real person.:)

    Don't take this literally. I mean do disrespect...lol

    Want to ask another question. If you can answer it then we can address my foundation.

    WHERE ARE THE TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL RECORDS BETWEEN THE PRECAMBRIAN AND CAMBRIAN ERAS???

    From a science website:
    The theory concerning the evolution of man is under increased scrutiny due to the persistence of gaps in the fossil record, the inability to demonstrate "life-or-death" determining advantageous genetic mutations, and the lack of experiments or observations to truly confirm the evidence for speciation. Overall, the evolution of man pervades as the accepted paradigm on the origin of man within the scientific community. This is not because it has been proven scientifically, but because alternative viewpoints bring with them metaphysical implications which go against the modern naturalistic paradigm. Nevertheless, a closer examination of the evidence reveals evolution to be increasingly less scientific and more reliant upon beliefs, not proof.

    above paragraph source sited: http://www.allaboutscience.org/evolution-of-man.htm

    None of this post has attacked any specific person or previous post. But if you feel threatened or convicted, then feel free to attack my post.
    Thanks for your time to read this.:cool:

    seems a bit condescending the way belittle his beliefs. maybe he has spent time pondering these issues. you don't know how he came to form his conclusions. maybe a little less time watching mtv would do you some good. you want all this respect for your beliefs but don't seem willing to afford derek the same luxury. I met derek and he seems to be a very soulful individual. Maybe give him some credit for his own beliefs rather than implying that they have been injected rather than discovered threw thought.
