Thats my room at 4:13. Yet, "nothing survived." lol. It's ok, but my tv is right there. I also would like that UU pennet too.

But, Its a miricle no one died. Praise God.

That night was so terrible! I live about 45 minutes away in Greenfield Tennessee. We have two youth in our church who was from Union and was in that tornado. Very sad, but a BIG blessing no one died.

The only 'poor' man is the one that must live a fantasy to be content with life.

If someone has to die to know the nature of life, what sort of lesson is that? It isn't one. Its the final death throw of the 'logic' of one who can't convince others his fantasy is real.

Some day, I do hope man can learn to rely on human reason.  So long as you rely on this fantasy, the world will never change. If you have a 'perfect death' waiting, why change the ills, the status quo, of the world now?

It's amazing how a couple windbags can take a tragedy and turn it into a religious debate. Way to go.

Biblical verses are not proof. They have been cobbled together, edited, tossed, gathered again, translated time and again. There isn't proof that a single author in the bible knew Christ, or his direct followers.

Did you know the Hebrew word translated into "virgin" actually means "maiden"? Yet you accept a virgin gave birth, despite proven error.

I know of Ken Ham, and I wouldn't follow anyone convicted of tax fraud, among other things. I dare you to look up his criminal record.

Beyond that, it took OUR species, Homo sapiens sapiens, over 200 thousand years to develop physically to this point.  All of human culture has occured in a fraction of this time, about 10 thousand years. That isn't nearly long enough to 'witness' human evolution, save for the tiniest mutations that would normally be overlooked.

What do you think climate adaptation is? Evolution, the product of hundreds of thousands of years of natural selection. You can't accept this and deny the rest.
