How can there be anything so complex without a designer? mathematics, which is a science, has shown that the odds of such happening are like 1 in 10 to the 23 power for just one action such as the creation of one focal point of the eye.
Not at all. The "Pope" was the political creation of Constantine. In fact, the first "pope" was not even called "pope". They were called Bishops. That did not come about till either Leo 1 in 440 AD, or Gregory 1 in 590 AD depending on which historian you want to believe. Then too, the RCC only affected the Roman church. The Eastern Orthodox (which included the Patriarchs of Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Constantinople) never accepted the power of the RCC. And weven so, at one time the RCC had two "popes" each claiming the same authority. Add to that the period of time called the "Rule of Harlots", Then we have the conquering of the Lombards by Pepin under the direction of Stephan II around 750 AD, and you have the Vatican.
Catholicism is not Christian while some of its adherents may be.
The main purpose of the Crusades was to stop the spread of Mohammedanism which was threatning to take over all of Europe. Another purpose was to take back Jerusalem from the Muslim hoardes. While there were some aspects of the Crusades that were unsavory, compare them to the actions of the Caliphs of Mohammedism, and how they had conquered all of the lands North including Spain by 711 AD.
So, no student has been suspended for attempting to use the name of God at a graduation ceremony; or for drawing a picture of Christ in art class; of for praying over a lunch; or for writing an essay on Christ; and silent prayer before school is allowed; and of course, their are all kinds of Christian displays on school campuses; bible clubs are readily allowed; Christian music is allowed at graduation ceremonies; etc. Right?
Give me an example of how the Christian community has attempted to compel others to do anything, then explain to me why it was Constitutional, and legal, to do this things till the O'Hair case? Tell me why the US Government is still paying for Chaplains as it has done since the founding? Tell me how the US government could have authorized the printing, and distribution, of Bibles under Washington, and the Founders? Tell me how the Statue of Liberty could have been accepted by the government since it has references to Moses, and other scriptural teachings?
Evolution denies the existence of a creator as taught in the schools.
That is like saying God created cancer. God created all things perfect. There was no disease till several thousand years after the Book of Genesis.
The problem is that man did not follow the commands of God just as Adam, and Eve, did not in the Garden of Eden. Thus disease, and death, entered into the world.
What little is said about homosexuality in the Bible is to condemn it, not to support it. Gods first command to man was to "multiple, and fill the earth" (Genesis 1:28) Homosexuals cannot do this.
It has happened. The first case I was made aware of was back in the 80's involving a Christian boy's camp. Then there was the case involving the BSA, and later the Salvation Army in San Francisco, just to name a few.
No more then I believe in manmade global warming, and that this was the cause of the recent earthquakes incluing the one in Haiti.
Hmmmm, no such thing as brainwashing. Jim Jones never existed, as well as Jeffers. Their followers were/are there of their own accord. And, of course, teachers in the schools have no infuence on the minds of children
Didn't happen for 200 years.
According to the left racism, bigotry, etc., are rising. Then too, it can be proven that the lack of morality is definitely on the increase.
