Good question and on the surface it seems hard to dispute. But recent advances in DNA sequencing have discovered that humans share noncoding DNA with many distantly related animals such as birds, reptiles and fish. About 98% of the human genome consists of noncoding or "junk" DNA. This is DNA...

You seem to be confusing "scientific truth" with "divine truth". Nothing in science is known with absolute certainty and never can be regardless of how much evidence is gathered. But that doesn't mean that we don't know things with a very high level of certainty. The Theory of Gravity, the Germ...

God wouldn't have given him the ability to father a child if he wasn't meant to do so. :roll1:

Unfortunately roofies weren't around when I was in school. All we had was alcohol to get girls to sleep with us. :sad2:

I understand what you and Gator are saying, but the SBC website also states that "...all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy." I fail to see how Genesis can be reconciled with evolution if one assumes everything written in it is "totally true". Extreme liberties must be taken and Genesis...

While it's encouraging to see that there are religious figures that support evolution, I'm not sure I'd categorize him as a Southern Baptist, even if he calls himself that. The Southern Baptist Convention's official position statement discredits evolution so this guy is on the fringe. And I'm...

If your position is that God must exist in order to create the universe and life on Earth, then you still need to explain what created God. Using God as a "first cause" explanation doesn't really explain anything since you need to keep adding another creator ad infinitum.

Well without the existence of souls there's not much use for heaven. What do you mean by "hard proof"? Evolution is a scientific fact. It's not a concept that still needs more evidence to be accepted as true. The fine details and some of the mechanics still need to be understood, but the idea...

That was a good discussion. If I recall correctly, in the end I won everyone over to my position that a "soul" doesn't actually exist and was made up by mankind to make people feel better about dying. Right? Anyone? Bueller? :wink2:

Good question. Where did God come from?

For anyone interested, here's the video (warning: NSFW and it only shows the guy, the chick isn't nekkid): LiveLeak.com - Comcast Tucson Super Bowl Porn

They had two future governors in the original (Schwarzenegger and Ventura). They should cast two former governors in the remake: Spitzer and Blagojevich.

Unfortunately I think you're in the minority of those who interpret the Bible metaphorically. I think most people take a literal approach, or at least think that most of the Bible should be taken literally.

To add to what JimsSweaterVest wrote above, how do you get Genesis to line up with the scientific record? The order and time of appearance of things are incompatible with one another. Here's what science tells us: 15,000 million years ago: Big Bang 4,600 million years ago: Birth of the Sun...

You lost me at "I don't drink". :(

Go west young man and get out of Ohio. Going down a hill covered with slush and ice is called a suicide attempt, not skiing.

I'm there at least once a month, but usually for dinner during the week or on a Sat. or Sun. afternoon to avoid some of the crowds. I was there just a couple of weeks ago but am getting a taste again for it...especially a white pizza with mashed potatos and bacon.....

Mmm, that sounds mighty tasty. Plus it's a good base for knocking back some serious pints.

Same here, deep dish pizza is disgusting (and I'm a life-long native of Chicago, besides the 4 years I lived in Columbus). IMO, Piece has the best pizza in town (and some damn good beer). But I do like a loaded Vienna Beef Chicago style hotdog though.
