What I think should and should not be taught in public schools is of no value or consequence to you, him or more importantly, to this thread.
Evolution says Sun before the Earth, Genesis says Earth before the Sun.
Evolution says dry land before the seas, Genesis says seas before the dry land.
Evolution says atmosphere before oceans, Genesis says oceans before the atmosphere.
Evolution says Sun before light on Earth, Genesis says there was light on Earth before Sun created.
Evolution says stars before Earth, Genesis says Earth created before the stars.
Evolution says Ocean creatures before land plants, Genesis says the opposite.
Evolution says land animals before trees, Genesis says trees before land animals.
Evolution says death before man existed, Genesis says man existed before death was in the world.
Evolution says reptiles before birds, Genesis says birds made before the reptiles.
Evolution says Sun before plants, Genesis says plants before the Sun.
Shall I continue? Everything about Evolution is in direct contrast and attacks the Word of God, EVERYTHING. Do you understand how completely and utterly un-Biblical Evolution is. Everything about the theory is directly contrary to God's Word. If you want to believe in Theistic Evolution just rip out the book of Genesis from your Bible, and any quote from Jesus in the gospels saying Adam and Eve were "at the beginning".
I was simply pointing out that sometimes it behooves a person to agree to disagree, rather than resort to insults and arguing a point into oblivion with someone who has no intention of changing their view, regardless of how they came to that decision.

Aren't you forgetting that all these apostles were supposedly given the ability to speak all languages (presumably writing included) by God some time after Jesus died? At least, that is what I recall from religion classes on Christianity..edit on 21-4-2012 by rhinoceros because: (no reason given)

For me speaking "in tongues" is not some weird words I can't understand. The Bible makes it clear they could understand someone else speaking to them in THEIR OWN LANGUAGE. Was it telepathic? The Bible doesn't allude to that either.
When I was younger and went to my friends church (Pentecostal) I never understood how one person from the church could translate such jibberish. I mean.... come on. You mean to tell me someone spouts off jibberish and they have no idea what they are saying but one other person does? Not buying it for a second.

1) No, you're trying to silence descent.
2) I don't have to agree to disagree.
3) Here at ATS we deny ignorance.
4) This is not science, and should be called out as fraudulent.
5) I think that it is horrible that these people are trying to legislate this ignorance into our public schools, and force it on our children. If people want their children exposed to creationism, they should do it at church or at home.

I'm sorry, my intent was not to derail the thread and open a debate on speaking in tongues.
I am not aware of the Apostles having the perpetual ability of language distinction, therefore I offered a suggestion that maybe the poster I was replying to was remembering the Pentecost from their vaguely remembered religion courses.

If scientists dont agree on this issue why should all of us?
Evolution says Sun before the Earth,
Evolution says dry land before the seas,
Evolution says atmosphere before oceans,
Evolution says Sun before light on Earth,
Evolution says stars before Earth,
Evolution says death before man existed,
Evolution says reptiles before birds,
Evolution says Sun before plants,

Hey NuT
No, my reply was to MamaJ.
I only brought up Pentecost as being what the previous poster was possibly remembering regarding a divine Apostolic ability to speak and/or understand languages that they would otherwise consider foreign.
Be mindful of the Biblical model is all I'm saying brother, if you're not called to pastor, apostle, or prophet and you rebuke and chaztise its breaking that model. Be mindful of that aspect and youll build up and exhort in love and not tear down.

His foolish excuses for denying the words of the living God like Satan did are in the process of being sharply rebuked in order to make him look like a FOOL. And so others may fear.
Don't you remember the part where it says you risk hell fire for using the F word, the one you use twice in the above mentioned paragraph.
Hope you read carefully,
Mr. Medinet

NuT is a really great guy who is STRONG with the Holy Spirit,
He's just got his southern oldschool roots and he can't drop that literal interpretation! I know many, many people like him in real life....

Just to be clear......chapter and verse please where pastor, apostle, deacons or bishops are suppose to be my FINAL AUTHORITY in place of MY English Holy Bible. The Bible FIRST, is my authority, FOLLOWED by the Holy Spirit, then my Pastor. THAT is the order. When ANY elected church figure goes against MY Bible (especially members of the church such as Iason) I SHARPLY rebuke them and could care less about their feelings. I am called to be in a spirit of Love (Eph 4:15) to lost people and give them the Gospel. I am NOT to be loving to someone that ATTACKS MY BIBLE.
You attack my Holy Bible that GOD gave me, then expect to be attacked by me. His foolish excuses for denying the words of the living God like Satan did are in the process of being sharply rebuked in order to make him look like a FOOL. And so others may fear.
