Praise The Lord for American missionaries bringing Christian salvation to South Korea. And please Lord, save me from your followers... Buddha has left the building.

      "mmm, I'm against evolution - SURPRISE!"

      That's not a surprise, most Americans are, sadly.

      "Also I love all fields of science"

      Evolution is the unifying field theory of biology. If you're against evolution, you're against biology, as nothing in that field makes sense without it.

      Also, your argument essentially claims that parrots and dinosaurs lived at the same time, that kitty cats and saber-toothed tigers were around at the same time.

      Funny then that we've never found a fossilized bunny in the cambrian.

      And if molecular evidence, for whatever reason, doesn't convince you, there's always the hundreds of thousands of fossils, the DNA tracing and modern examples (like nylon eating bacteria) of creatures developing into vastly different organisms.

      No any person who actually has an interest in knowing about evolution knows its way more than "Juz a theory" . Any person with half a brain can also see that comparing scientific evidence with mythology is not in the best interest of mythology. We provide evidence, something a religion just can not offer. I'm not saying go dump your religion, but understand that the book you follow was written by humans that contains no evidence just stories and feelings that has been manipulated through the ages for self fulfillment and social control.
      Also, spell your words correctly it shows you are undereducated and have no respect for the English language.

      "It's not impossible for occurrences where people have thought what was fact - it turns out it was in fact not fact. " Are you saying that within the fields of hard science, there have been things disputed by something other than science? If you are saying that i would love for you to send that information along, i would be really interested in reading about it.
      I never said science had all the answers but we still study ever aspect we can of everything. So your your comment on souls and energy we don't know, YET. If you look in the scientific arts field like psychology you might find some interesting concepts but remember that psychology is an art it is not hard science like biology.

      "I say all creatures created in existence are as they are/were"

      That doesn't sound very vague to me. And since you believe in special creation, what other conclusion could you make? That god arbitrarily created more animals later on without telling anybody?

      And what do you mean you "believe" in the fossils? Do you "believe" in Australia? Do you "believe" in the moon?

      They're right there, there's no belief required. Plus it's not even clear what that statement means. You "believe" in the fossils, but not what they prove? Huh?

      It doesn't matter what you believe, it only matters what is readily evident and demonstrably accurate. And none of what you said is.

      If you're willing to place beliefs above facts, than you have no care for the validity of said beliefs. In which case your opinion is pretty much irrelevant.

      This is not to say that your religious persuasions are wrong. But if you aren't willing to accept the basic uncertainty that exists in such claims and the parts of it that are obviously wrong, then how dishonest is it to pretend like your opinion should matter in a field of science, which demands the highest level of scrutiny and evidence before it accepts such conclusions?

      Furthermore, I believe you understand this and you just aren't consistent in your application. I'm sure you wouldn't, for instance, recommend that modern hospitals use biblical techniques because the science is "unproven." And if you agree with that and understand the reason why, then there is zero reason that you shouldn't accept the strongest theory in science.

      Faith healing is actually a great example, because it DOESN'T work, EVER. It's all a matter of attitude and the placebo effect, which have huge implications for human health.

      It's why "faith healing" works across all religions and not just Christianity, because the root of all of it is a non-supernatural cause.

      The classic example is amputees and broken bones. A guy went to a televangelist faith healer with a broken collarbone, tried to have it healed by him and was convinced it was, except it was still broken.

      That's not even getting into the things people can do to themselves if they're in a religious fervor like the Iranian Muslims who hit their head with swords and feel nothing or the Chinese Ancestor Worshipers who stick blades through their tongue and feel nothing.

      Faith can deceive the senses and prepare the body for feats a sober mind couldn't do much the same way performance enhancing drugs can.

      If you're not getting the point, here it is.

      MANY aspects of your Christian Dogma are just simply wrong, but you just assume they're absolute truth. This is not the position you should hold as clearly a faith-based belief should be, to some extent, grounded in an understanding that it has no basis at all.

      You say things like when god comes back and burns the earth, like it were a fact, or that science illuminates god's truth.

      Well I hate to break it to you man but science disproves a lot of the so-called god-given truth in your book.

      Nobody KNOWS ANYTHING about god.

      All we have in front of us is the physical universe, and that's what we should rely on for an objective understanding of things.

      As for evolution being "erroneous" and "a fallacy," well, I'll leave you alone on that note.

      If someone accepts the word of their preacher as more scientific than the actual scientists' findings, there is no use trying to explain anything to them. You've made up your mind, but if you care about the truth you'll dig into it yourself.

      Hopefully with more humility than you currently possess about the subject.

    • The primary thing that gets on my tits about religious people is shit like this.

      Why would anyone ever think that forcing a child to do this shit could ever be acceptable behavior?

      More importantly, why is the continued indoctrination of children a completely accepted part of religious activity?

      Did it ever occur to anyone that if you need to pound something into someone's head, repeatedly, from the time they're born to the time they die that maybe, just maybe, it didn't have a whole lot of truth going for it to begin with?

      This is child abuse, pure and simple. The notion that children need to be "saved" just disgusts me, as if little kids could ever have done anything to deserve such shame.

    • It isn't enough that they subvert our own culture, but they are going abroad and subverting other cultures as well? It is like a philosophical cancer that became malignant.

    • Missionaries fill vacuums left by governments failing to serve the people. In many areas of the world the only medical attention or education available are provided by Missionaries.

      Just because the south shines in example to the north it does not mean that they dont have their own issues including the refugees from the north. Even though they do get aid they still end up at the bottom of the ladder.
