Ultimately, the problem is that Jason does not see lying as a bad thing. He agrees that even Jesus deceived his followers according to the gospel: he admits that he did not come back as "soon" as his followers had expected. He hasn't come back at all in fact. Martin Quote

Neither >creationism nor evolution is correct. Based on the evidence gathered to date, the theory of evolution is an accurate explanation of the changes seen in the history of life on earth. It has been carefully improved as evidence has been gathered over the past two centuries by scientists. What specifically causes you to assert that evolution is not correct? What evidence do you rely on? Quote

You mean the side of dishonesty and thought control. Your "side" will lie to win. Your side will commit scientific fraud to win. Your side will shout at the top of its lungs that it's not trying to establish the Christian myth in the science curriculum, while doing its darndest to accomplish exactly that. Taking "God" out of a textbook and replacing it with "intelligent designer" is a weak attempt at concealing the fraud.

Thinking will hurt for a second, but you'll get used to it and like a muscle the brain will start working better once it's used properly. Obviously your brain needs a personal trainer to bet it back in shape. When someone says that evolution is a "theory" or "just a theory" in response to someone mentioning the FACT of evolution, you know they have no idea what the meaning of the word 'theory' actually is. Your response is one of those. You actually, because of your previous training (or lack of), do not know what the word means. Are you willing to learn or do you wish to remain ignorant.
