    The Physiology of Homosexuality

    The main differences being that most Black Americans were/are heterosexual and otherwise "normal" in the eyes of others, with their foreign roots and skin color being the main things that kept them from being accepted, not their overt sexual practices and alternative lifestyles. (And let's not...

    The Physiology of Homosexuality

    I said the Bible has verses that state homosexuality is an abomination. You can take that up with Him. It also lists many other things as such, of which many Christians are guilty. That is why Jesus came to earth and carried out His ministry and allowed Himself to be crucified. We are all guilty...

    The Physiology of Homosexuality

    I DO understand that. But, "disability" is not the right word. I am not saying that homosexuality is a disability or mental disorder. It is a physiological event that takes place before the individual even knows what sex is, determining that individual's sexual orientation. It was no more...

    The Physiology of Homosexuality

    You're right...it was an absurd analogy. Why don't you try again. BTW - You're the one making all of the comments about gays being second class citizens, not me. Have you seen me write one typical gay-bashing comment on this forum? The only one you THINK you have seen is the one in which I...

    The Physiology of Homosexuality

    That's not what I said at all. In fact, the purpose of the post was to express the exact opposite. The same sex attraction IS biologically based. Did you mean to type "But what I gather is that the OP is arguing that there was no such thing as same sex attraction that is NOT biologically...

    Is Richard Dawkins a good scientist?

    Where was the dishonesty? Did I not see Dawkins say what he said right there on camera? Did Stein make up the interviews he had with both sides of the evolution vs intelligent design debate? The fact is, he did a phenomenal job of covering the topics of both freedom of speech (which your side...

    Is Science Arrogant

    You are wasting your time. Again...you're trying to nail spaghetti to a wall. We know exactly what we are talking about. I have read the Bible cover to cover and study it almost ever day. Do you even know what it says? You'd be shocked. Stop parroting back what your buddies keep saying and look...

    Is Science Arrogant

    You're right...he doesn't need one. 3 months and 276 posts to deal with in one thread is a Herculean effort...more like Spartan, actually. Gotta love what the 300 did to their enemies. Main difference: None of you can defeat him. You're power is an illusion.

    Is Science Arrogant

    What??? LOL Nothing...nothingness; a void; emptiness; no molecules, protons, electrons, neutrons, quarks or "God particles"; nothing! Now make people, condos and rocket ships out of that. Hahahaha.... Any creation scientist that you come across will tell you this. Of course, none of your ilk...

    Is Richard Dawkins a good scientist?

    So...how scientific (falsifiable) is Dawkin's belief that life was first introduced to this planet by aliens..."intelligent design" from somewhere in the universe? Watch Ben Stein's Expelled and see how dear Mr. Dawkins makes a utter fool of himself...a perfect example of the following verse...

    Is Science Arrogant

    Just wanted to say that I spent the better part of the afternoon reading this thread. I applaud you (Serenity7855) on your broad-based scientific knowledge, your tact and your stamina. Your faithfulness is an inspiration. There were so many pot shots taken at what you and I know to be true with...

    The Physiology of Homosexuality

    Just to be clear, my post was meant to be more of a message to fundamentalist Christians than the 1.7%* of the population that is gay. (*the latest figure quoted here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/07/gay-population-us-estimate_n_846348.html ) Apparently, the percentage on this forum...

    Did Jesus really have to die for our sins?

    Still dodging the basic questions. Just wondering: Is it possible for someone to be a Christian and not believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Has your soteriological journey led you believe that there is more than one way to the Father than through Jesus Christ? Did Jesus lie when He said that...

    Can you believe in the infallabilty of the bible?

    You'll be glad to know that I'm only on this forum for a very short time. I don't have enough free time to stay here. I came for one reason. That's now finished. So...you can all start rejoicing now. :danana:

    Can you believe in the infallabilty of the bible?

    How does finding kangaroo fossils in the Middle East contradict the Scriptural account??? Do you understand why the majority of the world's oil reserves are under the desert? Where does oil come from? (Hint: "Fossil fuel") The desert wasn't always desert, was it? Do you know about the K-T...

    Can you believe in the infallabilty of the bible?

    It is only "overwhelming scientific evidence" (hyperbole?) IF...you put limitations on the power of God (more specifically Jesus, who was actually the Creator of the world if you have ever read The Book of John, Chapter One) and IF...you don't understand that there have been MULTIPLE creations...

    Did Jesus really have to die for our sins?

    Yes, He was. And you are showing just how immature in your faith or lacking in your understanding you are by saying otherwise. You are not simply incorrect, you are waaaay off base to think that our God can lie when communicating directly with us*, which He was with Adam and Eve. (*Do you...

    Did Jesus really have to die for our sins?

    How did God lie to Adam and Eve? He was talking about their spiritual death, not their physical death. There was immediate evidence of this spiritual death - their shame, covering their bodies and hiding from God. Apples and oranges. God did not make Uzzah kill himself, which would be more in...

    Can you believe in the infallabilty of the bible?

    Please name them. ("specific and glaring historic and scientific anomalies") Again, you as a "leader in the church", seem to be missing out of some important things about what's in the Bible (e.g. anti-homosexual passages) as well as its authorship. Moses is credited by the vast majority of...

    The Soul

    The best description that have heard is that the soul is our mind, will and emotions. We are a spirit, we possess a soul and these two entities dwell in a body. From his teachings: "The soul constitutes the inner 'life' of man and comprises the intellect (mind), which aids us in this...
