BishopOfHiphop Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - What were you three favorite religious books? What were your favorite three books in the Bible?

BishopOfHiphop Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - You're right. You don't have a soul.

BishopOfHiphop Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - You're right. Virtue is obsolete.

BishopOfHiphop Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - Do you read palms? Would that make you a palmist?

mln9898 Says:

Oct 24, 2008 - Papat, I apologize that you're rather sexist. And "dumb soul searching college students"? Are you saying things like that because you're just jealous because you didn't go to college, perhaps? And that you're not too intelligent? ... by the way, I'm pretty sure it's 'attracts', not "attracks".

Papat26 Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - Darling, i was one of those college students.What are those ppl trying to prove anyway.I view them like any religious extremists.Like he said this is 2008 if you cant respect the fact that others have diff views or beliefs,well there you have yr problem. pardonne mon francais.lol

EisForEccstacy Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - How rude.

JamesTrevitt Says:

Oct 31, 2008 - How wonderfully refreshing.

sorenrules Says:

Nov 1, 2008 - If we evolved from apes, how come they are still apes?

FlexibleElf Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - That's not the assertion. There is common ancestry between apes and homo sapiens. We are both primates. If you read 'Origin of the Species' for starters, you will more understand. I hope it was a general inquiry rather than an attempted idictment :)

hooah68 Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - asking this is like asking 'why are there so many different types of snakes'humans didn't necessarily replace any ape species (although this is possible), we may have just filled a different environmental niche.

nixmonkey Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - I think he was wondering why Christians were still apes. LOL

lancejujitsu Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - Part 2 Despite what your rev might have told you, its not like ppl just dreamed up this theory because the refuse to admit there was a god. When you had bones the seamed half human half ape, upon study, these bones told the story. Why are some moneys more human like then others? Should not all monkeys be the same. Are Asian people the same height as Americans? No. over many generations of isolated mating, they have a shorter frame then us.

lancejujitsu Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - Part 1 Once again.. not to be mean,, but you need to explore the theory and not let some rev. tell you what its all about. Sorry to say, but they are misinforming you. That's like saying if the earth has gravity why does it not suck us through the dirt. I would completely ill informed of i viewed gravity like that. I will treat this as if you honestly would like to know. Evo does not say we replaced apes. Its says going back many many generations we both shared an ancestor.

sorenrules Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - How do you know God is Imaginary? Why do you think people who believe in God or religion are stupid extremists and you are so smart?

stanmagicman Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - Under a Society that would be ruled by A-Thiest I Guess that there would be no Crime because you are so much smarter, Logical and Rational than everyone else. Murder/killing would be relative to one it would be just EXPRESSING one self strenously and to another it would be putting someone in their place and to another it would be something else.

PsykoPatrik Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - One very important thing to remember is that we are not more evolved than any other creature on the planet. All forms of like are the year 2.8 version of that life.Apes are just as evolved as we are, they just evolved in a different direction than us.

trac4yt Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - psyko,Human beings are not apes."And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female," (Mt 19:4)Human beings are unique due to their spiritual constitution via creation.ScienTISTS challenging that are, as usual, N/A.:-)

mccote Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - trac4yt,The Bible is bullshit."The Bible is bullshit, and anyone who believes in it is a gullible idiot."See? Quotation marks. I have them too.

OsyenVyeter Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - Soren: Im not going to explain because Im tired of having to pick up the intellectual slack of christians. Its not my fault you didnt pay attention in science class and I shouldnt have to repeat the same reasons time and time again. We dont ask that you believe in evolution, only that you are at least educated in the matter so that you can actually contribute to the debate. I dont believe in the bible but at least Im educated in regaurds of what the bible says.

sorenrules Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - OV, don't make assumptions on me. Yes, I did pay attetion in science class. As a matter of fact I was probably in school while you were still shitting in your pants. I'm not pushing any views on anyone. I'm just curious why you feel your so enlightened. By the way since your for abortion...maybe it's too bad your mother didn't abort you.

djFrend Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - what a guy. Brilliant

imnotbncre8ive Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Haha, Soren can't provide good points for his argument so he relies on anger. Classic.It should be obvious to every educated individual living in the 21st century that the Earth is 6000 years old, Adam and Eve actually existed, and the Earth is the center of the universe. We should also just return to our belief that the Earth is flat. Duh.

imnotbncre8ive Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Lol at the guys tossing around bible quotes to support their argument. Bible quotes are, after all, irrefutable evidence and the ultimate authority on everything, including science.
