How can you be offended by the video when it had absolutely nothing to do with whether creationism or evolution is correct?

The point:

When Fundamentalism and Evolution butt heads, both sides go nowhere.

Also, both sides get set on fire.

God made it all in six days - but they are GodDays . At this point, we are still only in the first tiny tyney mini milla second of the first day. None of the evidence available now will surfice to reveal the totality of it all. . . . Consider the words of the profits Al Jolson and Will Shakesbeer - " YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET " and " ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL "

@nyc14gauge - maybe it was God - maybe not - " there are more things in heaven and earth then are dreamt of- etc etc " -

@isaysee God told me to tell you to shut up.

[isaysee]

@nyc14gauge -LEAVE you ??? - I express an opinion, - you tell me "shut up" . . What the hell is that all about. BTW= The "us who can think for ourselves " is everyone and anyone who chooses to do so, which- of course- includes you AND me . At this point, - I choose to shut up untill I feel like choosing otherwise. I won't tell you to shut up - and I refrain from doing so NOT because it won't matter to you - but because it does matters to me . Peace on you - - and have a NiceSay

@isaysee A renaissance of biblical proportions would be a retake of the Dark Ages. If you want to sit around reading the Bible and catching the Black Death from flea bites, be my guest. But leave us who can think for ourselves in peace.

MASAKRA !

- "EVILution" is repellent to Godlovers cause science shows phehistoric creation to be a dogeatdog & devil takes the hindmost situation. If they ever come to see the Godgiven brain as what brought us from the wilderness AND the emergence of the cerebral cortex as God's Will AND the way to God's greater love, - we would see a renaissance of Biblical proportions. From that position the Faithfull would have more of the quiet confidence needed to bridge the gaps to Glory---without the GOREY

@gguru1 And explode epically.

In evolution all humans started out as a sperm and an egg. You evolved into a fetus.
