No. … but don’t sweat it, neither are Jews or Muslims and they both claim to worship the same God as Christians.

Except for finches on Galapagos, apparently.

No, I mean morphological adaptations: Morphological plant adaptations are specialized structures or tissues produced by certain plants in response to inundation or saturation which normally are not observed when the plant has not been subject to conditions of inundation or saturation. These are...

You are incorrect. I employ detection of morphological adaptations to identify frequency of inundation and saturation of the soil to locate the boundary between a wetland and an upland. Stripping of the soil matrix and accretion of organic deposits can occur within years. Cypress trees...

I would argue that was its primary purpose … to undermine ALL other extant creation MYTHOLOGIES by setting the record straight in a manner that only I AM (the GOD that truly exists) could. Taking just one small point as an example, all other mythologies begin with two common traits … they start...

Any other Christians in here interested in evolution? I mean genuinely wants to understand it. I do understand evolution, but no, I am not particularly interested in it. I prefer to study “morphological adaptations” which occur during one lifetime and are a response to changing environmental...

Genesis 1 is a POLEMIC. However, that neither guarantees its accuracy as a historical record nor discredits it as a historic record. It merely makes “geology, planetolgy and evolutionary biology” outside of its primary focus … THEOLOGICAL truths on origins (who and why rather than when and how).

Peter?

Preemptive strike with “rods from god”

There are 213 MILLION registered voters in the US. For 1 million to change to the Republican Party is less that 1/2 of 1% of the registered voters. That hardly seems like a grass-roots groundswell of a movement. How many change party in a normal year?

It’s funny, but I post my real name (atpollard = A. T. Pollard) for the opposite reason … it reminds me not to write anything that I would not say and sign my name to. I have a naturally sharp tongue, so I need to keep a close watch on ME.

It is nobody's business (not for general consumption) and only something to be brought up if God sends someone across your path that needs to hear it. Think of the EXTRAORDINARY events of Paul's life (highs and lows) ... Pharisee, Stephen, Damascus, Vision, Thorn ... and yet, for all of the...

When you direct your criticism or warning against a denomination, you WILL be perceived as attacking any and all individuals of that denomination. First, that will make YOU appear “hate-filled” (not one of the Fruit of the Spirit) even if that is not your motivation … so you may bring shame...

Mashugana.

Act 1:8 [NASB95] but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Acts 1:8 says NOTHING about Mary or her virginity. It was a red herring. So 500 years...

From burning those that disagree at the stake (leaving few to challenge the power-hungry leadership as it flaunts its medieval apostasy by selling the Papacy and Cardinals maintaining harems). Rome split the church twice ... excommunicating the Eastern Apostolic branch for refusing to become...

Meaning ... I don't argue with people that think that the Apostles never died and are still walking the earth discussing decisions of the RCC. :confused:

Then ask John and Paul because they will tell you that they never prayed to Mary. As for me … I don’t argue with people living in altered realities, so this conversation is over.

Jerome agreed with the same "66 book*" canon and uninspired apocrypha when he translated the Hebrew and Greek originals into the Latin Vulgate (AD 382), so it is the Church of Rome that changed its mind (and Doctrines) over time. Publishers just stopped including uninspired books under the same...

Which apostles were still alive in 381? I call B.S. :)
