Darwin’s illegitimate brainchild

"The idea of natural selection was published well before Darwin wrote Origin of Species. Darwin was most likely exposed to the idea in his days as a student in Edinburgh, and those ideas were integrated with the information gathered on his Beagle voyage. Several scholars have suggested that Darwin borrowed ideas from the works of many of his predecessors and contemporaries. It is suggested that Darwin failed to give credit to Edward Blyth for seminal ideas because Blyth was a “special creationist” who viewed natural selection in light of selecting among preexisting Darwin developed traits. Darwin is credited with the idea of evolution by natural selection, but it remains impotent in light of modern genetic concepts of information."

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "[S]nakebird...You don't seem to have a problem with people who utter lies repeatedly..."

Answers in Genesis is highly respected by people willing to take an honest look at the evidence.  

"...[D]on't send me any private emails..."

Hadn't planned on it Tom-o.

Response to comment [from a Catholic]:  "Protestant "reformers," who couldn't even agree among themselves as to what "the gospel" was..."

The reformers wanted a return to the authority of the word of God (Ps 138:2).  It was necessary to expose the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.  They were not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Are you? Eph 2:8, Ro 1:16.  Why do you think they murdered those who wanted common people to know the word of God? Jude 11.

Reformation Time Line

What was the Protestant Reformation? What was the cause of the Protestant Reformation?

What is the difference between Catholics and Protestants? Why is there so much conflict between Protestants and Catholics?

What is the history of Christianity? Can you give me a short / brief / general history of Christianity?

What is sola scriptura? Do the Scriptures even teach sola scriptura? What is the standard for Christian faith and practice?

What was the first / original church? Is the original / first church the true church? Is the church that is the oldest necessarily the most right ...

Why is sola gratia important? Why is it so important to understand salvation as being by grace alone?

"...[D]ivisive..."

Truth divides (Mt 10:34).

"What a mess."

What's that?  The blood your apostate church has left behind?  Rev. 3:14–22

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "According to the false teachings of serpent all Christians must also be young earth creationists."

We don't go to heaven or hell based on our belief of young earth creationism.  We go to heaven or hell based on a right relationship with Jesus.  

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]:  [We don't go to heaven or hell based on our belief in young earth creationism. We go to heaven or hell based on a right relationship with Jesus.] "You certainly don't act like you believe that..."

A few housekeeping items:

I've repeated this statement to PB time and time again but he/she attempt to misrepresent my position--time and time again.

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]:  "I don't misrepresent you..."

Have I ever replied to you stating?:  "We don't go to heaven or hell based on our belief in young earth creationism. We go to heaven or hell based on a right relationship with Jesus."

"[Y]our...oft-repeated lies (such as saying I won't answer questions that I have answered repeatedly)."

My mistake. I must have missed your repeated answers to these questions. Be ever so kind to answer them again:

Should we amend the Constitution for the personhood of unborn children?

If an employer attempted to say that nurses must distribute chemical weapons for the purposes of killing children, should that be ruled unconstitutional?

Is homosexuality an abomination? (1 Kin. 14:24).

Did God made us male and female? (Mt 19:4).

Is is disgusting to God to act differently than we were created? (Deut 22:5).

Do you believe that natural laws can be broken (e.g. miracles)? Creation was a miracle--did that happen?

The resurrection of Jesus was a miracle--do you believe that occurred?

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]:  [Should we amend the Constitution for the personhood of unborn children?]  "Possibly. I'm open to the idea, but I don't think that is how the war against abortion will be won."

Would you support an amendment to the Continuation which would protect a child from the point of fertilization?

[If an employer attempted to say that nurses must distribute chemical weapons for the purposes of killing children, should that be ruled unconstitutional?] "Unconstitutional? There is no need to go that far, since no employer has the right to force an employee to do anything that violates their conscience. Employment is voluntary."

Would you opposed to a Constitutional amendment which would protect children from the point of fertilization?

[Is homosexuality an abomination? (1 Kin. 14:24).]  "In the eyes of God? Sure. Most human failings are. In this world, however, we pick and chose among abominations and one man's abomination is another man's hot date. Remember that your own righteousness is filthy rags and don't like the one monkey laughing at the other monkey's butt."

Is homosexuality an abomination in your eyes? 1 Ki 14:24.

[Did God made us male and female? (Mt 19:4).]  "No. Sex evolved some after creation, although it may have been part of God's plan. I don't know. The indications that Christ gave show me that gender is important only in this life."

[Is is disgusting to God to act differently than we were created? (Deut 22:5).] "It is disgusting to God whenever we fail to meet His standards. Which is pretty much always. "

Is homosexuality disgusting in your opinion? (Deut 22:5)

[Do you believe that natural laws can be broken (e.g. miracles)?] "Yes. I don't believe that happens often, however."

[Creation was a miracle--did that happen?] "Yes. Just not in the way you think it did."

How did creation happen differently than the way God said it did?

The resurrection of Jesus was a miracle--do you believe that occurred?

Yep. See that tag over on the left side of the screen that says "Christian".   

Response to comment [from a "Christian"]:  "I answered your questions, troll. I said that was the end of it, not an invitation for more questions..."

That's a non-answer.

Reponse to comment [from "OK snakebird, PB answered your questions."

I wish that were true.

Quoting you?

It would not seem that you have a biblical worldview.   I hope I'm wrong.  Clarify what you mean.
