Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT: Waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy off topic...

The Jimmy Kimmel "Jesus Horse" line was priceless-I was holding one of my 6-month old boys on my lap while eating a bowl of ice cream. I blew ice cream down the poor little guys pajama neck. Woke him up good.

When will these people give up? Biology teachers teach science. Creationism is not a science, whereas evolution is a scientific theory. End of story.

About the interstate, they should be only be given two choices: It'll either stay 69, or they can change it to 666.

You little devil, you.

bray,

I am not ridiculing anyone's personal beliefs. Even the most religious people must realize the nature of their beliefs. Faith, by definition, is a belief/trust in something that is beyond certifiability. If something can be proven, it is no longer a matter of faith.

Because of that simple fact, faith has ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE in scientific learning. It is the job of the church and the parents to teach their children about faith and the Bible.

I think we're talking about a small percentage of Christians who could be classified as "Biblical literalists".
Apparently that school of thought believes the Bible implicitly states the world to be only 5000 years old. Obviously, that is not true. The story of Noah obviously cannot be true, either.
There is always a way for people of faith to reconcile evolution science with their faith, but not if they insist every word of the Bible is absolute truth.
That they react so strongly, and consistently, against science is more an indication of their weak faith than a lack of intelligence, IMO.

Well said. It's a pity they're so loud.

On the other hand, I think it's fascinating to discover to what degree (if any!) those stories are true.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with any of the views stated here, only because I dont believe this is the correct forum for politics or religion. I just dont want to see flames flying because of a topic that has no relivance to H/T.
That being said, you guys carry on the way you see fit,
and remember........................

well, at least it's marked...

However.......................................
I find it to be of great entertainment when flames start flying over a good H/T topic; especially when there is an EXTREMELY well placed poll.

Well, so far I see no flames. I hope it'll stay that way.
