By making itinto a religious issue, the proponents have latched on to the onlyconstituency that would put up with it. Where do the ideas come from?From that well-known source, fear of the new. Why else is it soimpoverished of ideas?" -- Tom Scharle : : : : : : : : : - : : : : : : : : : "I'm not sure, but He seems to be inordinately fond of beetles." -- J.B.S. Haldane responding to the question, "What has the study of biology taught you about the Creator Dr. Haldane?"

: : : : : : : : "Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me." Ps. 42 vs. 7 : : : : : : :

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : This is good. I like it. Here's a couple more.

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : "I think that the next time that I see some creationist point out that the present species could evolve from a few 'kinds' on the Ark, I am : : : : : : : going to point out that that is impossible because of the 'second law of thermodynamics'". -- Tom Scharle

: : : : : : : "We want to shear the Lord's sheep of their wooly, fuzzy thinking, not stampede them. So we can't use chainsaws." -- Max G. Webb

: : : : : : : This could get interesting, but I'm not so sure about the chainsaw part....yet.

: : : : : : One only has to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet we are here as a result, I beleive, of spontaneous generation. Nobel Laureate G. Wald I like a man of faith......

: : : : : : : : : : The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. -- Einstein

: : : : : Faith is fine for contemplating what you don't understand. Trying to make it fit the way you want things to be is blind faith however. The first brings wisdom, the second propagates ignorance. - Valkyrie

: : : Anyone that thinks God has revealed all His truths to us long ago does not do Him justice. God isn't ignorant, people are.

: : : Thank you for asking.

: : I would say that God has revealed all His laws in the bible. His truths are here for us to discern. O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.

: : I do believe in the truth of what you say here but I also believe He has wonders yet to be revealed.

: Us Valkyries were given the task of escorting the Heros to Valahala but we were also given the burden of choosing just who the next heros would be to die in the cause for rightiousness.

: I'd say you'd do very well. Wanna volunteer?

I'm afraid you went over my head (no great feat) on that one Val.....
