    And there are plenty of people who share Danae’s view (on thinking, that is).

    You want to see something funny; look up the lyrics to Gravity, by James Brown. Every interpretation I looked at was incorrect; obviously interpreted by someone who listens to Pat Boone.

    Come to think of it… all religion is based on someone’s cockeyed ideas… why should Dana’s be any different?

    Whoops, I guess we have to rewind the clock now and erase all religious, God-believing people have taught us. Let’s see, that means we’ll still have fire, the wheel I think, some form of clothing, fishing and hunting, agriculture. But no botany, no literature, no physics, no pollution laws, no astronomy….

    So, unbelievers, you haven’t been thinking. All these comments and not one has yet noted that it was not the Mrs. who created the gravity. She only reminded her hubby to activate/set it.

    And as to a multi-personed Almighty, that is exactly what the Bible teaches – three persons, even. And it is because God is a relational being that he created us for relationship with Him. Amazing how hard that is for some to accept.

    Exactly right; the biblical god wants mindless obedience, and fears nothing so much as a thinking human being. Most christians nowadays carry that out to perfection (while, of course, ignoring any commands that might affect their lifestyle).

    I happen to agree with your second sentence; in the first, of course, I would replace god-given by evolution-produced.What do you think of using our brains (comparative religion, anthropology, the hard sciences, including radiometric dating, etc.) to show that the stories in the bible resemble other well-known myths of that pre-scientific time period, and can be shown to be erroneous if taken as literal histories? Thinking men have known since before Darwin that the earth was more than 6,000 years old, and since Darwin that we are not created, but rather evolved, and kin to all other forms of life on the planet.

    1) “And so sad to hear you have a job teaching lies to young people.”

    I teach math. Are you suggesting that algebra is lies?2) Have you given any thought as to why your “evidence” and arguments, which you seem to think conclusive, evoke so little response among real scientists? Except, of course, for pity, disgust, and derision?3) I forgot to post the link to an excellent work, “29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent” by Douglas Theobald:http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/4) Here’s an interesting article on the evolution of the sucker of the remora:http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/07/17/what-good-is-half-a-sucker/And here’s Dr. Coyne’s comment: “If evolution is true, one should be able to trace the origin of novel structures from their predecessors, with every step of this evolution being adaptive. If creationism were true, one would never or rarely be able to trace the evolutionary stages of such novelties. Well, we know that evolution is true (if you don’t accept that, go over to your own site, Answers in Genesis), but it’s exciting to see traits whose evolution wasn’t fully understood get this kind of clarification.”I’m simply not interested in your verbiage, your outdated arguments, your lies (most notably in the quote mining), your apparent inability to understand natural selection, and your silly religion, more or less indistinguishable from other myths of the time. The evidence supports evolution; pretending otherwise is some combination of wishful thinking and the fallacy of an appeal to consequences.
