There is no such thing as an "evolutionist".

Plus, you're just guessing the numbers. Most Christians I know agree with evolution. That's not a proper statistic, but my point is you gotta back up your claims with actual data.

Evolution only conflicts with the Bible if you take the bible 100% literally. If you do so, the bible also contradicts itself in several places. It's meant to be read metaphorically to learn how to be a good person and help your fellow man, for salvation.

You want to learn where the little cuts and scrapes you thought had healed on your hands are, make that dough without using rubber gloves on your hands.

That roast in the dough seem like a waste of all that flavour on the outside.

Ha ha ha, a video only about cooking with salt and there's a bible war in the comments. Gotta love youtube...

I agree, but my point was to counter the person using the "evolutionist" slur. Just because you find the scientific principles of evolution to be true doesn't mean you are automatically somehow not a Christian, as this person seemed to be implying.

Personally, I'm an atheist.

[nonbeliever225]

@singedrac You don't need the bible to be a good person, etc. And I'm sure the bible wasn't always taken metaphorically in order to dodge contradictions. There was once a time when the believers had more conviction behind their beliefs.

did anyone else think the roast looked like a big shit coming out of the salt tube?

[theJudgeofdread1]

can you see that in a grill that would probably taste good

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. There can be other factors involved in his case--e.g. if he was on medicines that increase sodium excretion, or if his renal status was diminished, or possibly, as you suggest he was not consuming enough salt. The RDA guideline is to consume not more than 2,300mg (one tsp). Most health professionals believe that 1,500mg is more appropriate. You may use this as your window. The Institute of Medicine says that the avg. American consumes 3,400mg.
