    You just don't understand biology, do you? Diversity isn't something that a single individual possesses. It is the scale of difference between an entire population of people.

    Evidently he also does not understand the word perfect, for something to be perfect it has to be perfect at the begining of time, the present and the end of time, unchanging, perfect can not get better nor can it get worse.. this is why the concept of seeking perfection is facile as you are either perfect or you are not.
    So his little hocus pocus theory about people and creatures being created perfect but then declining contradicts itself as something perfect is incapable of decline.

    There are a few on this thread, and plenty on the Christianity forum. It's a filter for that, somewhat. A user called wolfsbane was long a supporter of him and very much on the same page. Haven't seen him post in a couple of years though...


    I've been to that forum, other than JC I don't see anyone supporting creationism or JC there.
    They don't seem to support the westboro baptists there either, but that tiny church gets worldwide coverage. Bizarre really.

    To me it seems everyone is calm except yourself, you might want to chill out there.

    Atheists don't believe in evolution, rather they accept it.

    And they certainly don't entertain the notion of it being a device of a super natural being.

    On the contrary, rather like this thread, I always found Harry Enfield sketches about scouser behavior very amusing.

    You've read all 30,000 posts in the BC&P threads? There are plenty of supporters of J C, though they come and go. Only J C is constant.

    Creationists are a lot more common than that, and not so remote from us. There's at least one creationist MLA in the Northern Ireland Assembly.

    There have been several posters of a Creationist persuasion popping up in those forums and the BC&P threads over the years, not to mention the many many Christians hostile to evolution with utter ignorance of science.

    I've read quite a lot of that forum, but other than JC I don't see much support for it from Christians there at all. I don't see anyone agreeing with him here either, or is after hours for atheists only ?

    At least one in how many ? and if you think that someone in the DUP is representative of Christians, I'm afraid I can't help you.

    Poster JC, why do you not believe in theistic evolution ?
    Because there is no evidence for it.

    There is no conflict between true Christian faith and true science.

    You know there's a search function on boards? I won't name names, since many of them have left, but the list is long and even includes a former Christianty forum mod.

    You keep forgetting that I was an Evolutionist ... the whole nine yards ... so I've probably forgotten more about Evolution than most of you guys know about it.:)

    Considering your poor grasp of basic biological concepts, I highly doubt that.

    God's supposed love isn't love. It's tyranny.

    I am not going to waste my time reviewing already peer-reviewed papers ... most of which involve intra species 'evolution' that I already agree with anyway.

    If you want, I'll review the best paper you can get that supports 'molecules to Man' Evolution.
