    Quite true ... but God isn't indifferent to us.

    Whatever, I don't believe in Evolution. I just accept it for the time being.
    ... because, despite it being objectively untrue ... it's the best that science can offer to somebody who wants to reject God ... as the Creator of life.

    The leaders/clergy of almost all Christian organisations reject God?

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    ... if the cap fits ... and all that!!!

    Evolution is certainly used by Materialists to 'write God out' of the history of life.

    Still idiots. You can't diminish the position of evolution within the realm of science just because some idiots start killing people.

    You cant reject something if it doesnt exist.

    Your argument is as silly as shouting that i reject the easter bunny or tooth fairy, in order for me to reject them they have to be atleast real to begin with.

    How dare you reject jack and the beanstock!

    True ... but it was originally introduced in the context of Robin using a news report of a row between two guys over the merits of Evolution (where one of them killed the other) to suggest that Creationists were 'dangerous'.

    It's quite obviously both inside out and outside in depending on the state of the observer. To answer your second question that depends on whether or not God came before Cthulu, or whether the fence that separates those two came first. In which case, it's the agnostics who came first.

    Also 'God came'

    The Theist came first. Adam was the first Theist, as he personally knew God.

    So your response is to also engage in mud slinging? By posting the response you did to robins post, you're accepting the premise you attempted to rebut.

    You're saying that most of the branches of Christianity are attempting to eliminate God from the history of life.

    He's not really a theist though. I mean he doesn't have to "believe" in God the bloody guy is right there in front of him punishing him for all eternity. You don't need to believe there. First theist obviously came later.

    I will admit to debating Robin on his own terms ... on this issue.:)

    I think not ... a few pseudo-liberal dudes who are at the point of becoming 'practical atheists' on the issue of how life arose ... do not constitute 'most branches of Christianity'.:)

    They say that seeing is believing ... and in Adam's case this was literally true.

    I suggest you get up to speed with your fellow Christians acceptance of evolution.

    Most of the Christians I know are creationists (with a small c) ... and this isn't surprising given the fact that both the Apostles and Nicene Creeds (that practically all churches have as an article of faith) declare God to be the Creator/Maker of all things in Heaven and on Earth.

    You do know that satan was gods assistant, and that his being the devil a post Roman Empire invention, correct?

    Or are you one of the vast legion of christians who know c. 20 lines from the bible max, and have never read the actual book?

    Oh, wait you're the latter, if not you wouldn't be chrisitian.

    Why do you find this descriptor of these people to be 'offensive'?

    Ah, it was not apparent as your post did not overtly reply to anyone as it didn't seem to address any points raised by others.

    OK, I have kind of let it go, as i trhought you were joking. Are you actually saying these guys killed in the nam of evolution? Seriously? You know it is a figure of speech don't you? Not very tasteful, perhaps, but still a figure of speech. "did you see the news last night? a boy racer killed himself crashing into a tree. Natural selection in action." etc.

    I appreciate that you struggle to separate fact from fiction and literary devices may be beyond your ken, but it really i just a figure of speech.
