		<description><![CDATA[86.John said …

&quot;Oh yeah, please don’t put me in the same boat as Kirk Cameron.&quot;

Sorry, but no matter how much you deny it, you ARE on the same boat as Cameron and every other religious nut-job. You may be in a cabin on a different deck, but you&#039;re all on the same boat. Your belief has the same basis as does his. The only difference is the matter of fanaticism and stupidity to which you take it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Godless... glad to hear it. :)

No disrespect on my end. I can understand your position a little better now.

I want to go wherever the evidence takes me. The problem is not getting so darn hung up on a worldview that you miss some real good points. This weekend, I decided to jump into this website and see what happens.

By the way, I hammered you pretty hard in another article. I just read it again, and I could have been a little gentler. My apologies.

		<description><![CDATA[John, don&#039;t fret; I know my value :)   Just because I don&#039;t believe in your god does not mean I live an empty, meaningless existence :)

No disrespect, but as I stated earlier, even if evolution (which seems to me to be the crux of why you believe most are/or become atheists) proves to be a giant pile of horseshit (doubtful), that, in and of itself, is not the reason I am an atheist.   So I will pass on reading your Mr. Ross.    

Yes, we all have value in our particulars and but one life to live, which makes me very appreciative that I even had this opportunity to be an observer :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[80: Good questions. I would defer this answer to Mr. Hugh Ross. Start with &quot;A Matter of Days&quot;. I am not a young earth creationist. It&#039;s often a camp ID people get thrown into. I am not sure why, but I think it probably has to do with atheists reading &quot;what we believe in cliff note format&quot; and jumping on Ken Ham. I don&#039;t really blame you guys because you don&#039;t believe in God and think its a waste of time to learn something irrelevant, so you just read Kirk Cameron&#039;s crap and think we are all like that. This is also apparent by the childlike articles on the website where I found this BLOG. 

FYI: Hugh Ross presents a testable model as well. Dig in.

83: Not a Kirk Cameron kind of guy. Sorry. He&#039;s a young earth creationist too. I look forward to hearing from you after you read the cliff notes from Hugh Ross, then allowing your atheistic evangelists to tell you what to say. I hope you will think for yourself, but I am not that optimistic.

Godless Monkey, just a quick note, you are much more valuable than your moniker implies. You are a unique individual with meaning and I am glad to have the opportunity to discuss these issues with you and Severin.]]></description>

&quot;Let’s kills babies, uh, fetuses and use their bodies for research.&quot;

Who is responsible for &quot;killing&quot; 20% or more of fetuses that start their lives in mother&#039;s bowel, then &quot;die&quot; in spontaneous abortion (miscarriage)?

Pls. see]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[76 John
I have a few questions for you and I kindly expect you to answer them to enlighten me:

When exactly (or approximately), stating from today back, god created universe? 6000 years? 13.7 billion years? Something in between?

How did god create universe? By popping it from nothing? By creating trillions upon trillions primary particles, gave them law of physics, then let them to further &quot;evolve&quot; according to those laws?

How and when did god create first life? Was it a cell, something much simpler than a cell, or all species ever existed were created in the same second (including dinos)?

Pleas don&#039;t let us uninformed!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[77. Information children. Information. That is a good starter for proof. I will bet on a causal agent for information over the spontaneous generation theory any day. 

It&#039;s a good thing you guys don&#039;t apply you rules to your own ideas. 


78. Your perceptions are so far in left field with the faith you need to put down your coloring books and grab a book by Hugh Ross. See me again when you are done.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John 76 Translated:

&quot;The Earth isn&#039;t spherical... you can see for yourself it&#039;s flat.&quot;

&quot;Thunder and lighting? What could possibly cause such a thing besides angry gods? Electricity? No evidence any such thing exists...&quot;

&quot;Plate tectonics? Geothermal dynamics? What a bunch of bs.. no evidence that continents move... Volcano gods and earthquake gods do all that!&quot;

&quot;Tiny, tiny living things that you can&#039;t even see make you sick?... What a ridiculous idea. Demons make you sick.&quot;

&quot;Everything is made of of tiny things called atoms that are made of almost entirely empty space! Preposterous! If that were true.. and you can&#039;t prove it is... then we should be able to walk through walls.&quot;

&quot;Time is relative? Hahaha... the idea that time can pass at different rates is unprovable and silly. God sets the passage of time.&quot;

&quot;Quantum mechanics! The idea that particles even smaller than atoms can just pop in and out of existence and be in 2 places at the same time is absurd. If you believe that I&#039;ve got some &#039;500 million year old dinosaur bones&#039; to sell you (wink wink).&quot;

&quot;Look, everything you need to know is already right here in the 4 thousand year old book written by prophets who were far wiser than any... scientist!!&quot;]]></description>
