I seriously doubt that.

The majority would probably choose a severe; or even fatal fate for these monsters (rapists as well as pedophiles). I for one know more than one victim that are close to me. They also agree that once the court case has concluded, and the monster has been found guilty, just hand over the reigns to the victim or the victim's families to choose the punishment befitting them.

Let the court find them guilty, let the victim and their family choose the punishment! I still stand with that.

Perfect solution in my book; now nobody else has to have "blood on their hands."

Well if we are getting into the What If's then: Here's an idea

What if during the creation everything within the Universe was created (fully formed) quite close together and then stretched out from that point. The light that is here was here from the start. There's a couple different references within the bible that makes mention of God stretching out the heavens.

Just another note...sounds quite a bit like the good ol' "big bang" most people keep asserting. Except that I think everything was fully formed at a specific creation "beginning".

WOW!~! Call the dabate off! With answers like that we need not go any further. You are so smart. Good job Cuaroc!

Woah, just to think...the coal moved over them.

Incredible I tell ya!

Just pointing out...I'm a little confused at who your comments were aimed at here...I think you are confusing who you are talking to with these points. I think you need to go back and clarify...I don't particularly think they were christian nor a theist...

In front of all the speculation that coal takes millions of years to form; and also supposedly predates humans, how are these human artifacts within coal?

It's pretty interesting to me chuck that we give pretty sound explanations as to why a lot of these things are evidence to us, our perspective, and you continue to act like you do. Can you not take the heat?

1. Speciation: what exactly is a species? BTW I did go to your link.

2. do you have any examples of mutations?

3. Dating: Why is it a huge assumption? Because it is! Why would you assume that C14 has always been the same or that you know what it was X number of years ago. If(IF) Carbon dating were true and accurate you could only go back 30-40k years anyways; but thats with making the assumption that you know what the C14 was back then.

So why don't you go ahead and tell people how you really date things. I'll just sum it up for them. By their location in the geologic column.

My next question is how do you know the dates of these layers of strata?

4. If you want to believe lots of small changes = Macro evolution then go ahead and believe that. It's not.

I predict that if evolution were to ever be proven without a shadow of a doubt, then people would carry on just as usual. Religions of the world would be just as prominent; this would not change.

Ok...so heres the solution as I've said in other places: Let's let the victim or victim's family choose the punishment for their crime. problem solved.

As per your link: I don't dispute microevolution. We see the small changes, but I do disagree that it will lead to large changes leading to a whole new animal or plant. There are limitations within the genecode. It will get to a certain point and not change much more.

Radiometric dating starts with a HUGE assumption that c14 has always been the same.

Here are a few q's for you:

1.Do radiometric dating techniques always show that rocks lower in the geologic layers are older than rocks that are higher?

2.If radiometric dating on rocks known to be only a few years old yields dates of millions of years, why should we trust that the techniques can be used to accurately date rocks of unknown ages?

3.In radiometric dating techniques, how do we know how much parent material the sample started with? How do we know none of the parent or daughter isotope was added or removed? How do we know the decay rate is constant?

4.When items are carbon-14 dated, how do we know how much carbon-14 was initially present in the sample? Could the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 have been different at different times in earth’s history? How can scientists accurately adjust their calculations if the isotope ratios were never observed and recorded?

How do you know the speed of light has always been the same?
