On the subject of the "Origin of Life," I'm creationist. I've heard the many idiotic arguments evolutionists or skeptics put up on how "All creationists say is..." blah blah blah, whatever. I've heard 'em all. All of 'em. Every one. All the lies and dumb people who are basically saying "I'm smart, you're dumb. I'm right, you're wrong; and there's nothing you can do about it." It's basic Matilda talk.
Do I understand what I'm talking about? Yes. I've debated two atheists in two VERY long debates on a different website (I won't say the name, because many will go there and join, but never post except maybe one time and say how skeptical they are and leave for good). One atheist had several college degrees (as he claims he does), and one was studying in college. I defeated both according to the rules of debate. Both of them failed to respond to each statement I made and said things at the end like, "All you've said is..." and "You don't understand the scientific method." Whatever. Idiots, the both of them. It's true, I cannot lie. If only I could post my statements here on any "Creation vs. Evolution" subject (if one ever comes up). The only problem is, no one likes to read long statements on this forum, and over there, it's common to post extremely long messages of wisdom (whatever you'd want to call it, I don't care; I call them "messages of wisdom"
). And most everyone reads the entire statement.
How smart am I? I couldn't tell you because there are many public school kids in here and I wish not to offend anyone.
I was considered on that site as "...the most knowledgable on the subject of creation and intelligent design," and most admitted the fact that, though I was young, knew much about science....at least the Christians there did. .
So, what am I saying? I'm saying there is a God, that there's overwhelming amounts of evidence to prove it, and even Einstein said there must have been a beginning. Well, I'll ask this. Is it more logical to believe: In the beginning God... or In the beginning Dirt (note the capital "D").
Anotehr thing to ponder, does anyone know everything? No.
...
Does anyone know half of everything? No.
...
Ok, imagine you knew half of everything. Is it possible that God exists in the other half you don't know?
Then someone might say, "No, because god is undefined, and there is no reason to believe in something that natural phenomena can explain." I told you I knew all the responses. Well, I've got to say to that person, "The God of the Bible is indeed defined, and if you'd look into the information found, it is much more logical to believe God created it than a rock did." Where could information come from? The First Law of Thermodynamics states roughly that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Well then, how could evolution occur? Hmm, I sense a problem. But, they'll say, "Well God couldn't do it then either! HA!" Question, who did you just say couldn't do it? God, right? Since when is God brought down to the level of man?
I get this kind of idiotic statement many times, put into different forms. A rough form of it could be asking something like, "Can God make a rock so big He can't lift it?" Right there you're bringing God down to the level of man, and not considering He's God. This question is based on "Can God do everything?" Of course not. He can't learn for one (already knows it all). He can't sin. He can't do anything unrighteous. This is something I get all the time, on how "God is so cruel; he puts people in hell cause he's mean." Whatever. This is based on the assumption that man is good, when he is not. Have you lied? You're a lier then. Have you stolen? Then you're a thief. Have you looked lustfully at another woman? Jesus said those who do this have committed adultery already in their hearts. Have you done this? Yes, so you're an adulterer. These are just three of the Ten Commandments (and there are more than just the Ten Commandments to live by). You are a thieving, lying, adulterer. Sounds pretty just to throw you into Hell. God cannot stand sin. You can't walk in like it's a bar. It's not like the cartoons where it's an eternal dream taking place in the clouds. It's holy. How do you get there? Commit your heart to Jesus. Duh.
Back to the "God can't lift the rock" thing. Anyway, Jesus often answered a question with a question. What do you say to these morons who ask this crap? Well "In geometry, a ray goes on forever in one direction, and a line goes on forever in both directions. Tell me, which one is longer?" You ask 'em to answer that and then you'll tell him about the rock.
That's pretty much all I have to say, and this post is very long, considering most of you hate long posts (I can't imagine why; just read the damn thing instead of sitting around taking Africa or whatever).
