so are you saying that there is clear evidence for human evolution, its just not in the fossil record? or that it has not been discovered yet.

Lol, oh ye of little faith, what is impossible with men, is not impossible with God!

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo you are saying you know the mind of your god? I thought your god was unknowable. You are indeed in a privileged position.

Originally posted by sonhouseoh sonhouse my friend, who stated that he was unknowable? for it seems to me , through the examination of both the physical universe, both micro and macro and through the examination of scripture, there is a type of personality revealed, that is quite knowable, if one becomes acquainted with it. thus if you examined my home, and one or two autobiographical works that i had authored, would you also not be able to discern a type of personality?

I love the blind devotion of this kind of Christian/Muslim (for some reason Jews don't seem to be like this). Actually I don't love it but it amuses me.
If it's good, God did it.
If it's bad, it was done despite God.
