  Christian Social Influence Continues to Decrease

  a popular sydney news reader died this week (of cancer, at age 73).

  the news reports from a number of sources were uniform in praising the man, both professionally and for his human qualities.. and, the obituaries all mentioned his partner:.

  Irregardless of what apostate churches say or do, God says no to homosexuality AND to those who approve of it.

  "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven

  against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men . . .

  For even their women exchanged the natural use

  for what is against nature (lesbianism).

  Likewise also the men ...burning in their lust for one another,

  men with men committing what is shameful (homosexuality) . . .

  that those who practice these things are worthy of death,

  and not only those who do the same

  but also those who approve of those who practice them!"

  (Romans 1:18, 26, 27, 32)

  The answer for homosexuals is the same as for anyone else desiring to avoid judgment after they die (Hebrews 9:27). And it is not more will power.

  Jesus said, "you must be born again".

  I already told you there is no [DNA] "information". That is just a metaphor.

  Cofty, Really? You are going to play words games now? That's amazing. Let's see what others are saying:

  Bill Gates: "DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created."

  Oxford Dictionary reads: Deoxyribonucleic acid, a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.

  The National Library of Medicine states: The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases,

  The Nobel Prize Organization states : DNA carries the genetic information of a cell and consists of thousands of genes.

  What came first, the information or the storage system? Why?

  Cofty,

  You've got problems of your own. I wouldn't worry about others. Genetic algorithims prove that it would require more DNA than could fit in the entire universe to code 124 proteins just to provide ONE chance to get the coding right. And then, this does not even begin to address the supreme problem of the storage system of DNA itself whereby Harvard graduates have stuffed an amazing 700 Terabytes of information into one gram of DNA. What came first, the information or the storage system? Why?

  Try to imagine a bridge developing under Darwin's Theory. Until you can walk across the bridge the wasted structure detracts rather than adds to its success, yet the bridge is far too complex to be built in a single generation. Now, if Genetic Algorithms can't even build a simple bridge how could they possibly build the human eye?

  Question:What do you think is the possibility that Intelligent Design might turn out to be the answer to some issues in genetics or in evolution?
  
  DAWKINS: Well, it could come about in the following way. It could be that at some earlier time, somewhere in the universe, a civilization evolved, probably by some kind of Darwinian means, probably to a very high level of technology, and designed a form of life that they seeded onto perhaps this planet. Now, um, now that is a possibility, and an intriguing possibility. And I suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that if you look at the details of biochemistry, molecular biology, you might find a signature of some sort of designer.

  Richard Dawkins knows as do most scientists that Materialism is dead from a probability standpoint. Notice his prolific use of "just so" language.

  Oh I wholeheartedly believe in science Lisa.

  Can you expalin an evolution process that would account for where all the information in DNA could come from?

  DEVASTATING MATH PROBABILITIES

  The possibilities of it occurring by chance are devastating.

  "Based on probability factors . . any viable DNA strand having over 84 nucleotides cannot be the result of haphazard mutations. At that stage, the probabilities are 1 in 4.80 x 10 50 . Such a number, if written out, would read:

  480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
  000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

  "Mathematicians agree that any requisite number beyond 10 50 has, statistically, a zero probability of occurrence (and even that gives it the benefit of the doubt!). Any species known to us, including the smallest single-cell bacteria, have enormously larger number of nucleotides than 100 or 1000. In fact, single cell bacteria display about 3,000,000 nucleotides, aligned in a very specific sequence. This means that there is no mathematical probability whatever for any known species to have been the product of a random occurrence—random mutations (to use the evolutionist's favorite expression)."—I.L. Cohen, Darwin was Wrong (1984), p. 205.

  "This means 1 / 10 89190 DNA molecules, on the average, must form to provide the one chance of forming the specific DNA sequence necessary to code the 124 proteins. 10 89190 DNA's would weigh 10 89147 times more than the earth, and would certainly be sufficient to fill the universe many times over.

  A lot of materialists have moved on to aliens Lisa. Scientific discoveries have eliminated the possibility of life occuring by chance here on earth. This of course just kicks the can down the road a bit.

  if after you die you find yourself in front a god ready to judge you.

  what will you say in your defense for not believing?

  he would HAVE to be gratified that his judgment of them was fulfilled by his punishment, otherwise what would be the point of his actions if not for gratification, in other words his satisfaction of his prophetic words coming to pass.

  Galaxie,

  I think you are confusing gratification with satisfaction. You use both words but I think they are different. Honorable judges do not get personal gratification (pleasure) from discharging their duties for which they were appointed to do. However, there is satisfation involved when law violations are judged. The Law is satisfied.

  Maybe you don't see a difference, but I do especially when God specifically states "I take no pleasure"....

  In recent mags they even pointed out how silly young-earth creationism is.

  When I left in '95 everyone I knew bought into the "millions" paradigm including myself. The 12 points I posted should be enough to demonstrate the materialistic and anti-christian indoctrination processes at work in Watchtower mind control.

  for those of you who believe in the bible, have you ever seriously thought about the events that led up to the creation of eve?.

  genesis 2 - 18 the lord god said, it is not good for the man to be alone.

  i will make a helper suitable for him.. .

  The original account says absolutely nothing about the importance of free will and allowing A&E to demonstrate their obedience

  But certainly free will was offered because choice was offered.

  he would have enforced the rule if he had been present

  Of course he was present because he is omnipresent. Oxford reads:

  omnipresent

  ADJECTIVE

  • 1 (Of God) present everywhere at the same time.

  And, he did enforce the rule just as he said he woud. Had he prohibited the taking of the fruit, he would have prohibited free choice.

  What the Garden of Eden tells us the most is about the consequences of belief. Belief is extremely important to God. Eve must have disbelieved God BEFORE she disobeyed. We act externally in a manner which is consistent with what we believe internally.
