i guess its a bit easier up here...
in canada its an assload more seperated...
plus the province next door to us (quebec) had one humongous falling out with the clergy a generation or two ago..so luckily things up here are a bit less 'godfearin'....
as for disciplers link to the 'national post' article about intelligent design.
uh...consider the source.the national post is canada's bastion of rightwing writing.
if we had neocons (and thank god we don't really...) they'd be reading the national post.
so i wouldn't exactly look to that rag for critical thinking.

Tick, the websites are ugly. It's the data they are communicating that counts. Let's not dodge the issues. ;)

(Jan 3 06, 12:38)Now..if you're going to start posting sites that expect to accept literal interprettaions of the biblical text, please provide historical examples of all languages the bible was written in previously before it made it into English so we can hunt out the linguistical and translation errors...Greek, Latin, Aramaic, etc...which I am sur eyou'd agree would help us really understand what god was trying to tell us through Jesus words before it became a game of interlinguistical telephone..

um, exador. That article was an op-ed from one of the Fellows from Discovery Inst. That paper simply published the article. You can find the same article at: http://www.discovery.org.
Tell me, who better to describe what ID is and isn't, than one of it's leading proponents and scientists?

Tick, the NT was recorded in Greek and Aramaic. Are you familiar with the manuscript evidence?

Wow - no for real. Discipler - I dunno if you're dodging my question or what, but I'm really beginning to wonder why you're here. I search for your responses in posts, and they're always revolving around the same topic really. Tiresome to read.
I'd (and I'm sure many others who have read your posts) would like to see a little more about you. Speaking for myself, as I said above... I'm beginning to wonder why you're here and what you do.
Do you have any work ..... any anything online.... ?? Anything at all related to this site? What do you do for work etc. Find it exciting?

cphunk, I like web design and art. I come here to view people's work. I see a lot of inspirational stuff here. But, it's only these types of topics that I feel compelled to post in. Note that I don't start these threads. I just jump in when they are already in motion.

Sweet - so what do you do. You come here to post about religion, and occasionally politics (however almost solely involving religion), but what exactly do you do. Forgive me saying, that my view of you is extremely.... extremely narrow.

You know, this thread has been kind of enlightening, because I've been blowing off work to do some research on the early Chritain Church and I never knew about the Thomas Christians - which were Jews living in India who converted to Christianity in the first century (that's real, real early in church history) and thrived there until the 1500's when the Portuguese showed up and called them heretics (although the Portuguese were int eh Roman tradition of the Church which came centuries After the Thomas christians..). I never knew about a commection to India with the Christian church, especially so early on in it's history...this is some mad deep historical stuff...
What a weird and wacky religion Christianity is - and amazing how quick people are to condemn others in it..

Discipler, this view of christianity you promote is very modern and is a modern reactionary one to what came before. In my opinion you and adherents to this view of that particular faith take only what suits your arguments in search of certainty and never wade into the deeper waters that doubt might bring you...and this is why I have you on ignore. your prattlings rarely enlighten me nor encourage me to deepen or widen my spirituality and faith. Frankly, your boring...

from the discovery website
"The point of view Discovery brings to its work includes a belief in God-given reason"and the article in the national post simply reprinted the article?
you tell me dude.
where's the 'news' in this?
where's the investigative journalism?hence why i said 'consider the source.'
- discipler0
exador, tell me a specific item in the body of the article that you disagree with and why you disagree.
- gramme0
doubt is a very good thing.
- cphunk0
Still no response to my questions really. Why is that?
What do you do... honestly. What excites you?
