  Jesus Christ is very much alive in the homes and hearts of 2.2 billion Christians

  Interesting metaphor.

  Muhammad is alive in the homes and hearts of 1.6 billion Muslims.

  The love that they have for his teachings is as immortal as the Son of God himself

  Well I was a born-again, saved, adopted son of god for almost a decade after I left the cult. So it turned out not to be an immortal love.

  introduce her to the real Christ that saves people everyday

  Saves people from what exactly?

  evolution is as far as we know Gods best work

  Evolution has no need for a god.

  Jesus Christ does not agree with your opinion

  Jesus is a pile of dust somewhere in the middle east.

  and neither do I.

  I don't worry too much about opinions. I am very impressed by verifiable facts if you have any.

  Religion should be at the very bottom of anybody's to-do list when they leave the cult.

  What you need to do is find a Church with real people to talk to, who will introduce you to the love of Jesus Christ.

  That is the worst advice anybody could ever give an exJW

  If for social reasons you want to meet with a relaxed theologically liberal church who could not care less what you believe then fair enough.

  Otherwise why would you swap one set of superstitions for another?

  All churches are cults. It's only a matter of degree.

  If you don't accept evolution you are either ignorant or ignorant.

  At last!

  {Insert multiple names of 18th & 19th century scientists} believed in god. So there!

  Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur?

  by shadow in

  2. bible

  evolution paints human ancestors covered with fur.

  fur has several benefits as stated by britannica "the pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elements: a dense undercoat, called ground hair, and longer hairs, extending beyond that layer, called guard hair.

  the principal function of ground hair is to maintain the animal’s body temperature; that of guard hair is to protect the underlying fur and skin and to shed rain or snow.".

  Stop using typos as an escape goat. - SBF

  What on earth is an escape goat?

  They are not just typos they are utter unmitigated nonsense in the context. Once we correct the spelling it's still not even wrong.

  jacobm - Lots of people are trying to tell you how much you have misunderstood natural selection.

  Please listen to them and read some basic textbooks.

  The following two posts might help you get started and clear up some misunderstandings. Especially the second one.

  Evolution is a Fact #27 Monkeys, Typewriters, Shakespeare, 747s etc...

  Evolution is a Fact #28 Something Darwin Didn't Say...

  this is where natural selection starts to become a little strained and starts to resemble a deus di machina.

  Made up word or phrase alert!

  those snakes trying to copulate look suspiciously like genetic draft

  Made up word or phrase alert!

  that should read deus eks machina

  Made up word or phrase alert!
  

  but my point re genetic piggy backing stands

  Made up word or phrase alert!
