The Bible, although mostly dreadfully boring, is actually quite amusing sporadically. My favourite part is 2 Kings 2:23-25, that part really cracked me up.

It explain things for you because it fits your religious beliefs. You are in a boat just like the Creationists, it's just a different boat.

yes.
evolution explains both,
yes.
then it explains neither.
no -why would an explanation of two things explain neither?

Originally posted by humyMakes one wonder: if the punishment for calling someone "baldy" is death, what would be the punishment for "numbnuts"?

Originally posted by humyYou should also learn that too, for if little children will be punished for their sin, then you are not to think you are above the law of God either. The moral of the story for you to learn is that you are next, unless you change your ways, which includes your bad attitude.

Originally posted by RJHindsI may be one of God's prophets. Fortunately the Bible prescribes a way for you to find out whether or not I am a prophet. I'll leave it as a homework exercise for you to find that out.
Well, you are not one of God's prophets. You are at the scumbag level at present.

Originally posted by RJHindsAnd I am sure the children in question thought they had disqualified the prophet in question. Obviously if they hadn't they would have been more careful with their insults.
I have already disqualified you, numbnuts!

Jesus recognised this problem and cautioned people to treat everyone, especially those you think are inferior to yourself, as being Jesus himself.
Originally posted by KazetNagorraI suppose if you haven't read the Bible, then you'd have to do some homework to figure that out. It is probably a pretty obscure line in the Bible for you.

if little children will be punished for their sin,
“if”? So, according to you, do little children get punished by your god for their “sins” or not? If so, is that why your god allows so many little kids die young of horrible infectious diseases? -even those that have never heard of 'god' or are too young to know anything about such stupid superstition? And is this a sign of a kind caring god?
This is the science forum. This discussion should be in the Spirituality forum. Can we please talk about science and not be side-tracked. Creationists have their point of view, which we can talk about here where it relates to science, but the goods and evils of religions belong in the spirituality forum, that being what it's for.
