Newsflash

Breaking News........

Bible attacked by .... so called believers, unbelievers, atheists, haters, ..whatever ( another day, week, month, year, decade, century, millenia - another attack and so what)millions of people are coming to faith every DAY yes everyday and are rejecting the usual the ploys of satan to confuse and undermine the inspired word of our Creator.

Chico in "I have seen the light" mode

PS. Erm I am no scientist or an expert on the English but when did the theory of evolution become an established and undisputed scientific fact? In my dictionary theory is described as "Abstract reasoning; speculation" or "An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture"

PPS. Omnipotence in my book means God can create the universe out of nothing, can create life on other planets (and may have for all we know)and can create any creatures (dodos and dundeegeorge) included and can give man the free will to kill them off if they so choice.

Oh yes intelligence to see and throw the mist off satan's deceptions is also a gift of Almighty God.

Well I feel sorry for the cat - locked up in a small box with dangerous substances.

Didn't he change his mind and say something like "I am sorry I ever had anything to do with that"?

Well as Schrodinger once said: "What isn't measurable, isn't worth worryng about".

Then they weren't extinct just not recorded.

Ahh, the usual evolutionist play on words. Why won't you admit it is as much a faith based system as creationism?

[Not So Wise]

I am not a catholic nor do speak for catholic church however the problems the Catholic Church faces today particularly in the Europe is mostly of its own making. How can they believe in an onmipotent God but also at the same time believe bits of the Bible (his inspired word) are inaccurate? It just makes my point really - the enemy can operate internally as well.

Shock horror, for once actually agree with Chico on a religious matter. The Catholic church's (mixed) abandoment of ilogical stupid blind unquestioning faith is costing it followers.
Which supports a theory i have, the more stupid, uninformed, thoughtless and uninsightful you are, easyer it is to beleive. Intelligence and knowledge are the enemys of faith and blind belief

Then they weren't extinct just not recorded. I have seen a few old dinosaurs around here though, mainly old contractors clinging on in quiet desperation.

Here's a question for you Choco - why does God let his creatures become extinct ? Take the dodo - why was it an evil bird ?

But God could bring it back again, like he has with several other species that have been declared extinct. We've been over this before I feel.

That would be beyond doubting by a person of reason.
Hence the continuation of religion.

Agreed.

Beyond reasonable doubt?

[Xenophon]

Hasn't the theory of evolution been proven beyond all reasonable doubt? If so then Adam and Eve being created by God is a load of tosh...

There are well known theological scripts from the 1st century AD (the period when the Gospels were written) found in Egypt, which have not been included in the Bible, for what have been claimed to be "political" reasons. The King James version of the English Bible does not contain the books of the Apocrypha, whereas I believe these are contained in the Roman Catholic version.


So it is indeed interesting that the Christian church should make this statement

You are quite correct and furthermore I have always been curious as to why the book of Tobias was removed from the King James version.

This is a remarkable part of the Bible as it deals with the story of Tobias who in his quest to find a marraige mate becomes ensnared by Female Demons and is saved by the The story is told in the Book of Tobias (6: 1-3).

Tobias was sent by his blind father Tobit to collect a debt. He was escorted by the Archangel Raphael and when a fish attacked him as the crossed the river Tigris, Raphael told the boy to kill it and remove the heart, the liver and gall, which could be used to restore his father's eyesight.


Interesting as it makes a reference to the ArchAngel Raphael , Raphael being Hebrew for he who hath healed ... also Raphael appears in human form at first as a traveller concelaing his Angelic identity, perhaps this gives rise to the Bibles advice, .... not to be unkind to strangers, for they may be Angels in disguise.

Chico, you know when these probes go to other worlds and bring back pictures of new planets and new environments, and then the scientist scum go on about 13 billion years of planetary development. Do you just stick your head up your bottom and hum ?

How do you know what Chico looks like? Is there something you're not telling us???

Huh? His picture is beside every post he makes...
