I really wish christians could get their story straight on this one. I originally had it that blasphemy against the Judeo-christian Imaginary Friend was unforgivable, and on that basis I intentionally committed such blasphemy in order to immunise myself against the nasty possibility of being jump-started back to an unending life after my…[Read more]

Quote (TimothyVI @ Dec. 01 2012,20:59)Hi Stu,There is one thing that I have never quite understood concerning the theory of evolution.Do gene mutations occur only because of  selection pressure that would drive such a development.

Quote (t8 @ Nov. 30 2012,20:58)And that is what you have resorted to Stu. Apes aren't monkeys. Who cares. We are talking about reality and the wonder of creation, and you are arguing over technical language regarding apes and monkeys. Tell you what. We win about God existing and you win about apes not being monkeys. That is 1 – 1. So a win win…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Nov. 30 2012,20:41)I postulated on another thread a couple of years ago that there really wasn't any such thing as “Stu” but it was just a random firing of bits that appeared to have intelligence.
