There IS video from july 4th or 5th of what was very liekly many of the same black youth who flash mobbed a gas station and cleaned the place out. They then went into Kilbourn Reservoir Park nearby and accosted groups of white people relaxing in the park. The two incidents are very very similar. This isn't something new in Milwaukee. It has been happening for some time and the media has not fully reported the details of the stories trying not to incite "racial tension". Whats even more laughable is the complete incompetence of the MPD or the mayors office to see a problem OR address it.

Reproduction occurs and genes are passed along to offspring. Some offspring receive traits which give them a survival advantage in a particular environment. Those genes keep getting passed along and the organism becomes more specialized for its environment. The other offspring, without the genetic advantages, tend to die off. The specialization leads to a net loss of genetic information. This is the exact opposite situation needed for an organism to increase in complexity. It is in fact de-evolution in the NDT evolution sense of the term. Variation occurs and gives a survival advantage to some. We can see that. However, that is not the kind of change you’re looking for in order for molecules-to-man “evolution” to take place. I’ll use one quote to describe what you’re trying to do with natural selection. “You can’t lose a little money on every sale and expect to make it up in volume.” Even modern evolutionists (New Darwinian Theory) don’t agree with what you said. They had to add random mutation combined with natural selection and billions of years in order to make it work. Natural selection is not a creative process. It conserves those traits of the “fittest” and discards those of the “weak” (e.g. loss of information). Those original traits cannot be recovered, even in part, unless you were able to cross-breed them back with some that didn’t die off. Even then, you’d still be working with a quantifiable amount of information that you began with. Nothing would exist by which you could build in complexity to “the next level.” Now, the mutation and millions of years is another argument but you’re going to need something else that what you’re describing with natural selection. My apologies I'd I wasn't clear, I thought that random mutation over countless generations was inferred. How else do you think I was suggesting that these minute changes could have occurred?

I watched the entire thing and no...NOVA's "unbiased documentary" did not make its case. For reasons mentioned in the above article. Similarity in building materials does not solve the problem. Entertaining drama in the video...but little substance. It would be preposterous to think that the flagellum of a bacteria just "happened" to form those 40 or so proteins just so to produce what we see today. The problem, you see, is that is not how natural selection works. Natural selection has a very gradual increase in complexity. All it takes is for a change, no matter how small, to thrive in the gene pool of a species is it creating a slight favor in reproduction rates. It stands to reason that a "slightly" mobile bacteria, due to porting proteins through its cellular membrane, might have a slight advantage in reproduction due to exposure to a wider enviornment. Later generations with slightly more sophisticated or efficient "motor" systems allowing them to be more mobile would then carry the torch on and on.

LOL Mine are pristine... and even still in the boxes to keep all the light out... I knew that was a shortcut to skunky beer... BUT I was curious how long they might be good. At this point they are going sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow Tonight, I'm enjoying a Widmer Brothers Rotator series IPA, [email]called the x-114 IPA. Interesting beer.

The Bible is not meant to be a science book, however, where it touches on the scientific subjects, it is spot on. Incredibly spot on. It was penned by human beings moved by the Holy Spirit (e.g. It's the Word of God). The theological term is Plenary Inspiration. It means that God inspired the writers to write exactly as He directed without taking away from their individuality, personality, writing styles, personal input, etc. Since it is the Word of God primarily written by men, it is authoritative in what it claims and describes. The "scientific knowledge" of the men at the time is irrelevant. I'm pretty sure God is more "up on" physics than even Kallend or that Queen bandmember with a PhD. Sooo...is it "touching upon scientific subjects" when it describes men as having millennia long life-spans, the creation of the world, universe, so on out of plausible order, and interpreted to have been created in an incredibly short timespan, an incredibly short time ago? Or are those things fables, allegorical, or what? What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience. Airtwardo Someone's going to be spanked!

No doubt about that. We can test and show that to be true. That's not the point. It is an assumption that it has always been that way (with regard to origins). I admit, a good assumption, based on the evidence of what we see today, and coming from a materialistic point of view. The quote above, however, was really in reference to NDT Evolution (molecules-to-man). The Bronze Age comment is derrogatory, presumptive, and just plane ignorant. Really goes back to what I've talked about before with regard to our worldview, our assumptions based on that worldview, which in turn influences how we interpret the evidence. The quote that I posted above is very telling. It seems to be a great example of the bias in the scientific community. The same bias that was discussed in Ben Stein's documentary "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed." Then again, that Harvard Professor is probably not in the same category as Kallend. He's probably an idiot also. Probably in the same category as that Queen bandmember with a PhD....or anyone else who disagrees with the atheistic evolutionary worldview....who claims to be a scientist. I don't mean "Bronze Age" to be derogatory. The "science" in the bible was limited by the age that it was written in. That would be the bronze age, and the iron age. People are going to look back on our understanding of our universe in a thousand years, and see some of our presuppositions as ignorant as well. ETA: The bible was written in part in the iron age in europe as well. Forgive my ignorance. What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience.

The thing is, it is not "against common sense" to suppose that light traveling from a distant star would travel at the same speed as light travelling to that star. To arbitrarily decide that light travels to us instantaneously from a star to us, in order to fit a Bronze Age understanding of the age of the universe, that is counter-intuitive.

He also discusses this theory: Distant Starlight Really?!? Since we can't measure the speed of light one way, we can arbitrarily say light gets to us instantaneously, as long as it makes the total round trip at 186,000 mps?

and that's not rural - that's everywhere - I've been rural and metro, and, frankly, I find the shallow approach you mention above to be worse in the urban areas, though crappy in both - hell look at speaker's corner Understood.

just 'rural'? I call bullshit stereotyping and partisan bigotry the disconnects in economics is nation wide - the political parties are divided over social issues there is no party of fiscal responsibility - the Tea Party tried to move that way before they were tainted by the social righties and marginalized by the social lefties and the social lefty media Agreed, there is no party of fiscal responsibility. The problem with stereotypes is that quite often, buried within the "bullshit" is a grain of truth. I live in "rural" America. I have voted red in every election in the last 12 years. What I have come to realize is this, it doesn't matter what your political party truly represents. Most people I encounter will not go beyond sound bites or superficial stereotypes, and actually look at the voting record of a candidate. I admit, I used to be just as lazy.

Sounds like the perfect answer for the same lame old tiresome ignorant, biased attcaks by athiests...as if they have anything to do with me.

It is puzzling. Here in Lawrence county, MO. 67.70% of the registered voters are republican. Income: The median income for a household in the county was $31,239, and the median income for a family was $36,846. Males had a median income of $27,309 versus $18,990 for females. The per capita income for the county was $15,399. About 11.00% of families and 14.10% of the population were below the poverty line, including 19.50% of those under age 18 and 11.80% of those age 65 or over. There are a large number in this county that use food stamps, among other entitlements. This is 101%, hardcore bible belt. The name Obama is viewed as a curse word, yet it is not at all uncommon to see a food voucher card at the check-out at the grocery store. The republican party is pushed heavily in this area and the very same people who scream about entitlements are the people using them! By and large rural America equates traditional and Christian values with the Republican party. The disconnect in economics is widely overlooked.

I have some questions. Why do you ask questions that you think you already know the answer? Why do you ask questions that you reject any answers given, before the person answering even has a chance to speak? Since all you have to offer is enlightened despair, why do people who have the Truth and hope annoy you so much? ... In other words..."How dare you ask a hard question, that cuts right to the heart of why many people choose to reject my snake oil? I don't have an answer for you, so I will try to make you uncomfortable for asking." What you say is reflective of your knowledge...HOW ya say it is reflective of your experience.

This explains the Congressmen and their wealthy backers. What it does not explain and what I've never understood are those people that make less than $100,000 per year that support them. Those people. to me, make absolutely no sense whatsoever since very, very little, if anything, the Republican Party currently does has any benefit to them. Because 90% of them are just plain GOAT FUCK STUPID... and really believe they will eventually get their TRICKLE.. Because that is what they have been taught to believe by people like the KOCH Brothers. They are also hopeful they will get their TRICKLE before the RAPTURE occurs but if not.. GOD will take care of everything. Really?!? If that is you refraining from screaming, I'd hate to see you let loose!

While it is disturbing to see the plight of starving children in Africa or anywhere else for that matter, the context of your selected scripture is not addressing that. It is interesting that you left off verse 11, however, as that presupposes the doctrine of human depravity. It makes a comparison between God’s provision and the ability of even wicked men to provide for their own. It was explanation in terms they could understand. I think most of Africa is Muslim. However, many there are in fact professing Christians. But being Christian does not mean there will be no suffering. The promise of God is not that we will not suffer for His name, just the opposite. We live in a fallen world where there is suffering everywhere\. The promise of God is that those, who are His, are forgiven and will spend eternity with Him. In the meantime, Matthew 5:43-45 states that we should love and extend grace to our enemies. It explains that even God does this in that, during this lifetime, He allows good and bad to fall upon believers and unbelievers alike. “One” of the reasons God allows or even causes this is to bring unbelievers to faith and repentance. God is described as longsuffering/patient. He demonstrated his love for us in that “while we were yet sinning”, He died for us. Instead of extending immediate justice (which was demonstrated many times in the OT), He is now extending mercy. You graciously have time…but don’t abuse it. The wheat/tares, sheep/goats, etc are allowed to live together now but they will be sorted out on the Day of Judgment. You don’t know when your day will come. 1st of all, thank you for taking the time to respond to my query. Here is a quick guide to the saturation of Christianity in Africa. While you will find most of northern Africa primarily Muslim (read 10/40 window) you will find an overwhelming amount of Christian believers to the south. I do understand the message of man's depravity in verse 11. In a nutshell, it says God will take better care of you than you will of each other, because man is evil, and still cares for his own. I get that. What I don't get, is that FOOD is a basic provision. CLEAN WATER is a basic provision. If a starving African christian child is praying with all his heart for FOOD, and he then starves to death, how is that God's provision being better than man's?

You shoud really try and understand the author's intent before ripping off verses and misapplying them. Do you think it's important to know what the author is trying to convey rather than making up your own meaning and applying it to their work? Don't you think that would be the more accurate and resposible way of handling a text? Added: I heard this example in a hermaneutics class. "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John. The song sounds very patriotic. It sounds like it must have some sort of American patriotic/Liberty Bell kind of theme. To be honest, I thought that most of my life. However, in reality, the song was written in a time when women didn't make nearly as much as men in the workplace. There was a lack of equality. Elton John's friend, Billy Jean King (Pro tennis player) was winning championships and making a lot of money. She was, in Elton John's opinion, a shining example of the way things should be. She was also a lesbian making it even more symbolic. Equality for both women and homosexuals. Who would have thought it would be about that? You wouldn't know necessarily unless you really tried to understand what the author, Elton John, had in mind. Alright, rather than imply that I'm lazy or stupid for not having the same understanding of the text as you, why don't you enlighten me to the real meaning of Matthew 7: 7-10. Do you not think many of those African children were beleivers? Do you suppose they were not praying for food, or not to be harmed? How does that reconcile with the text.

Spoiler, It's a bunch of presumably african soldiers sitting around poking fun at a chimpanzee, one of the soldiers thinks it a good idea to hand an AK-47 to the chimp, the chimp proceeds to shoot the dirt in front of the soldiers making them dance and run away, then holds the weapon above his head in apparent celebration.
