The pen is not blue or red it is a fountain pen so it is either or neither , it could be empty .
On the other hand it is also metalic silver but the darkk colour seems to be black. Since Red is light and bright and blue is dark or can be dark people assume it is blue when uin actual fact it is black
Alcohol is a mind altering drug it is also a poison. I have seen the effect on the human body of normal alcohol consumption and it isnt a pretty sight. Adults vomiting blood and not just a mouthful, a whole stomach full. A litre or more at a time filling the sink as the internal organs fail and blood vessels burst from the pressure!!!!
This is not to mention the effect on others and the effect on the income and the cost which often results in people losing there houses and losing families due to divorce
Utter misery and dependance with a death you would not wish on an enemy. Cigarettes are bad but alcohol is worse far worse
I should know I gave it up. The World is a much better place for me now without it.
Pray tell me hypothetically, what proof do you think people would believe. May I remind you that God did walk amongst us and people touched him and he them , yet there are still doubters. If I remember correctly he even performed miracles to show them
QED
Reminds me of the story of the two policemen driving along in a city where there was a curfew from 21:00 to till dawn. They see a man cycling ratherfast and the time is 20:50 , 10 minutes till curfew time.
The driver of the car drives along side the cyclists and indicates to his colleague Paddy that he should shoot the cyclist dead. Where upon Paddy says but he still has 10 minutes to go, The driver retorts
"I know where he lives he wont make it"
Wrong I dont like Elvis so I reckon he is dead just like they say - the moon however is a different thing altogether - I watched it live hours of TV and scietific explanation. Just about every one with a telescope power full enough watched it - we tracked it in the UK and the Russians tracked and they would have been the first to say you didnt go there but funny they didnt say that
The Behaviour of the flag is because the flag was on a pole but it actually was hanging from a horizontal top strut placed there because there is no wind on the moon to make a flag flap
You dont need much technology to get to the moon a calculator , slide rule, Newton , and a huge engine will serfice and that is what they had
Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
For an all knowing being, God certainly asks a lot of question throughout Genesis.
God knew where abel was but was giving Cain an opportunity to admit what he had done, dont parents often say to children What have you been doing knowing full well what the child has been doing
“Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.”
Seems to be forgetting how the layers of the Earth's atmosphere operate
Thats how they operate now - but you dont know how they operated then...... One Theory is that the atmoshere contained much more water than it does now and it used to filter more harmful sun rays resulting in longer life......when the flood came that water descended to Earth......
QED
Many people accept that the level of our knowledge is extremely small (our knowledge is like a speck of sand on a beach) Maybe one day man will be able to achieve these things just because we cant do it now doesnt mean it is not possible. To people living just 100 years ago the idea that we could put a man on the moon or travel in excess of the speed of sound watch moving pictures from the otherside of the world would have seemed just as ridiculous
Please address the question which was
in the bible Genesis describes in simple terms when and in what order life on earth came to be, starting with nothing and ending with humans. Does this order of events correspond with the Evolution theory and if it does how did the ancients know what it took probably 3000 years or so for Darwin to confirm.
We should all have equal rights wouldnt you agree - a woman doesnt own the child within her the child has its own soul and destiny - so Women behaving in a manner which indicates they think they are So So So important , they are only taking care of the child whilst it grows.
I think to be honest it all went wrong when Women got the vote, It is by and large Women who have brought in all the stupid legislation, if it works dont fix it I say
Much of the bible is historical fact not fiction the cast really existed, it is a cop out to say its fiction. Take the accounts of Matthew mark Luke and John, who were witnesses to some of the events. Most of what they say supports precisely the same observations , with slight variations typical of witness reports, and some of what they say isnt reported by the other three presumably because they either forgot it or didnt think it was relevant or they simply weren't there.
If I told you I had a similar experience then I doubt very much that anyone would believe me. So I wont tell you I had a similar experience. some peoples minds are so closed they wouldnt believe anything that doesnt fit in with their science.
The problem with scientists is that they dont know when they are licked - having ego's the size of The known Universe helps. being as we say know it alls - yet the truth is a fact is a fact. it is 100% the case, there is no doubt. It can not be disputed. As sure as night follows day No is not an option.
Whereas a theory being scientific or otherwise is not a fact and a theory is something that can not be proven as it is an assembley of various facts ordered in such a way as to make the theory seem possible. The theory itself is not a fact. I rest my F in case
History is littered with scientific theory that after a few decades or centurys is found to be not the case at all
for example
The number of planets
The orbit of the Earth or Not.
The Speed of Sound
etc etc
Can you think of anymore?
You Say this capital punishment is not just. It is not effective and it is not warranted.
There is evidence to show that It is effective as in 1961 the murder rate was 0.57 per 100,000 pop and rose to 0.94 per 100,000 in just 10 years a 64% increase of around 190 murders per year. Ok one point to me its effective
secondly you say it isnt Just, well if sentence is passed correctly and beyond reasonable doubt most of those executed will be Justly executed and only a few would have been innocent. Far less than the 190 murdered who were definately innocent and wouldnt have been killed if hanging hadnt have been abolished.
OK another point to me its Just. Not warranted in view of the above I fail to see how it isnt warranted please explain yourself ? and are you happy to be an accessory to the murder of 190 people per annum?
I realise that scientific theory is different from laymans theory just like I realise that you make a lot of it up as you go along... Fact is that The Theory of Evolution is not a fact it is based on facts.......... would you agree that these facts could be interpreted in another way............ and please stop being so rude
I challenge the idea that Man is descended form Apes, Supposedly Man evolved from Apes, to what we are today and some scientists use as evidence the fossil remains which seem to indicate a progression from Ape to Man. lets call Ape Step 1) and Man step 10) and the steps between were the progression. Since Man still exists and Apes still exist where are the descendants of step 2 thro 9. Theory they never existed thats why they arent here. Use of DNA is highly dubious as we have DNA incommon with practically if not all species of Birds Fish and Insects.
It is a fact that some fossils so called are actually fakes probably the most famous is Piltdown Man Darwin was also party to this particular fake...
Scientists like things like evolution it pays the mortgage so they could have other motives to go looking for evidence where there isnt any and creating there own evidence when they need it!!!!!!!!! touche pussycat
Would you like an example of Scientific theory being incorrect. For decades scientist have thought of a T Rex as a vicious Hunter. Fact is it is now accepted that the T Rex was probably a scavenger
I believe that there already is another species here, If you look around carefully enough you will notice them, they are very good at copying Human mannerisms but cant hide what they are totally
I have seen them and spoken to them on many occasions
Sorry but it is you who have it wrong a theory is an attempt to make sense of known facts - The theory it self isnt a fact , the theory uses facts to formulate and bolster the argument for the theory you said it yourself and I quote "based on a body of facts"
For example Evolutionists now use DNA to prove Evolution but the similarities between DNA in various species do have other explanations
You obviously have tunnel vision and cant see that there are other possibilities which explain known facts.
You use that cop out all the time - its your turn to take the responsibility why do you say that Evolution is a fact and dont give me that scientiific fact rubbish - The Theory of Evolution is an interpretationn of the facts and is just a theory to try to explain things. Just because we share 98% of our DNA with apes doesnt mean we are evolved from Apes. I suggest a second higly credible answer is that having made apes God decided he could do a little better and made mankind.
99.5% of my DNA is the same as yours but that doesnt make me and idiot
I understand that DNA similarities between us and apes is used as your so called proof that evolution is a fact. For example
DNA Variation between humans can be up to 0.5% (99.5% similarity)
Chimpanzees are 96% to 98% similar to humans, depending on how it is calculated.
Cats have 90% of homologous genes with humans, 82% with dogs, 80% with cows, 79% with chimpanzees, 69% with rats and 67% with mice.
Cows (Bos taurus) are 80% genetically similar to humans
75% of mouse genes have equivalents in humans,
The fruit fly (Drosophila) shares about 60% of its DNA with humans
About 60% of chicken genes correspond to a similar human gene.
These figures do not prove evolution, they are small facts that can be used to explain a theory
Imagine this - It could be argued that a BMW and a Mercedes are 99% similar technically speaking made of the same materials and using the same technology. Although a BMW is not related to a Mercedes and will never evolve into one. However both were designed by humans who have come up with similar outputs ie the products, having started with a blank sheet as it were.
This would suggest design and creative processes. I conclude we do not know that Apes evolved into Man as the theory conveniently tells us it happened over a vast amount of time. Whereas I know a BMW didnt evolve into a Mercedes because I have lived long enough to make the observation for myself.
Young Children are being Murdered and there is no suitable detterant. Before Hanging was abolished there were half the murders than there were immediately after it was abolished.
I say Hang Them but only when there is forensic evidence, witnesses and beyond reasonable doubt
Hey man - which assyum did you escape from - now you want fathers to join in with legalised murder. Try to imagine what an aborted child feels, like the pain, the trauma just coz you cant see it doesnt mean it isnt alive. it is a live it has a little heart lungs eyes face etc and a soul and brain.
Hold it in your hands and apologise. If you left nature run its course 99% sure it would turn out to be a better human being than you. Barbaric uncivilised Neanderthaals
Gravity is not a theory it is fact it can be measured and many calculations made using the results. However why Gravity exists cant be explained it is contrary to most other science.
Evolution is a theory and is full of holes - the missing links were mostly fakes and as for carbon dating that is also highly innacurate as it is based on the assumption that the world has always been as it is now.
I couldnt agree more, scientists and the masses used to doubt that the sound barrier could be broken - they used to believe the World was flat and the sun went around the earth
The Theory of Evolution is just that , a theory, the odds are it is probably wrong and so is the Big Bang theory. Since we will never find the answer out in our life times it seems pretty pointless researching it. Unless of course you want to sell a book or an article on the subject.
I have a theory that there are Aliens sharing this planet with us, they look like us but they dont think like us, now try to disprove that

I rest my case!!!!
Now I am getting the picture Markm is an Atheist Murderer, Accident Accident - ah so if a unborn baby is an accident we can murder it is that right MM. Everything has risk mate but I fail to see how a man can live in fear of beconing pregant
I go along with that lets start with you since your argument falls down
1) The state tells everyone what they can and cant do - are you so stupid - You cannot Speed, You cannot smoke in a Pub, You can not drink when driving, and you cannot murder people
2) Sounds like you must be a supporter of Hitler he had that idea to, I was gonna see lets legalise killing preople like you but then since your are an alien and not human cant be!!! unfortunately
Also If a child is born but not particularly wanted there are tens of thousands of people willing to adopt it or foster it or care for the child. Abortion is definately murder
Definition
The unlawful killing of one human by another,
Each individual has a soul which exists prior to birth as previously mention by some wise folk above. People now allow state controlled murder because it suits them to think of unborn babies as "not human". Given a few years and the same people will advocate killing old demented grandpas and Grandmas because they arent acting like humans.
Then what , invalids , blind people, deaf people, oh and Jews of course, and then, Inland Revenue Inspectors, Artists, Comedians, Village Idiots oh and I forgot Village Idiots.
Then of course there is people with low IQ's which will get rid of most of you lot on here. Ah and also Asians , Black People, White People. and of course Poor People and Jews, Geminis, and Sagitarians,Heavy Metal Bands and Rap Singers. need I say more!!!!!!!!!
Currently in law if an offender should abduct a young child and then kill them to prevent there identity (ie the child is a witness) Then the worst thing they face is a long prison sentence but may get away with it as the witness is dead.
If the death penalty was reintroduced they would face death and may therefore think twice about killing the child as their sentence would not be so long or final
I like everyone with the exception of Murderes Rapists child killers etc oh and Inland Revenue Inspectors oh and Parking Officials and Womens Libbers and Politicians and Banks and Mass Murderers, and Banks
There is no reason to hate Muslims unless they fall into one of the above categories and most don't There is reason however to dislike most religions (not God btw) because Most religions would fall into the above categories. Relgions are man made organisations full of Petty people who couldnt get a job anywhere else , full of Child molestors and Paedo's not to mention some of the richest organisations that make up the IMF
Remember this God doesnt get a penny or ask for one , It is the Pope and the Bishops who earns a huge salary and gets loads of money
Seems to me we have laws that make racial hatred illegal and racial prejudice or just straight forward prejudice is illegal so by extrapolation then Anti Blashemy should be the same. Blashemy promotes racial hatred and is already kind of illegal so lets make it proper illegal
Denying them the same rights as other people oh I see ............ you want rapists mass murderers and peodophiles to have the same rights to practice there beliefs as we the majority hetrosexsual beings do to practice ours... why not make homosexuality illegal again as it should be and always was - end of problem :)
Hello Evolution is a theory it is not proven, just like with proving or disproving the existance of God it is not possible, Suppose God was working on the animals and though he would modify the ape to make man , and tried various combinations until he came up with adam........
We don't have the burden of proof we are not the one asserting that a god exists.
Thats a cop out atheists assert that there is no God in their Tag you do it all the time - and you cant prove God doesnt exist anymore than a Christian can prove he does exist.
I believe it is more probable that God the creator exists and I am 100% sure of that
Social Media has caused people not to socialise, Most people spending hours on the computer talking nonsense to people they call friends or have never met.
It is also responsoble for people being overweight, paranoid, unfit, less productive,
Kids now play indoors all day instead of getting some fresh air and making mud pies and playing hopscotch and the list goes on , what about marbles and pick a sticks
In business people think that business comes over the web - whereas mostly it comes through face to face interaction.
besides a virtual hug just doesnt cut it Im afraid,
If we define God as the creator then there is only one God and man didnt invent him he came before us and invented us. If you are talking about the so called Gods invented by man this runs into hundreds and all have fallen by the wayside
God our creator and saviour has endured the decades centuries and millenia he will go on far longer than any atheist will
I also notice that atheists continually ask us Christians to prove that God exists they probably secretly want proof then they can believe it!!! which is what they want to do.
I also noticed anger slander bad language, and no intelligent comment just ridicule when I asked the to prove that God doesnt exist they cant do it either
We are talikng about the UK not other countries . It is a statistical fact that the murder rate doubled immediately after abolition of the death penalty.
The rates for unlawful killings in Britain have more than doubled since the abolition of capital punishment in 1964 from 0.68 per 100,000 of the population to 1.42 per 100,000. Home Office figures show around unlawful killings 300 in 1964, which rose to 565 in 1965. The main reason being that criminals armed themselves and would rather use a fire arm than be caught.
So in 1965 265 people were murdered who probably wouldnt have been murdered just because some MP's thought it should be abolished. Dont talk to me about Innocent people being hanged what about the 265? dont they count?
To The non believers
Some of you are either showing your age or your IQ level but since your IQ is lower than your age when is your 21st Birthday exactly - I had hoped for some sensible intelligent debate in here but alas the education system in the last 30 years seems to have let us down somewhat. How can you debate something you have never even studied I see people dont know what Yahweh is or the difference between fact and theory
Maybe its a youth thing Cool to be a non believer rebels without a brain. Now listen up I wanna tell you a story
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, some sixty, and some an hundred.
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
And the moral of the story is that you have the opportunity to hear the word you have ears, now all you have to do is sit quietly and read, reflect, study and think it all through then come back and discuss it properly
My friend do you have 100% proof that God doesnt exist you cant do that can you. Surely you have lived long enough to know that it is not possible to convince all od the people all of the time on anything there is always gonna be one and it looks like your it mate!!!
Here is one for you how come some atheists pray when they are in trouble - if God doesnt exist they must be mad - well I knew that anyhow
Higher education should be available only for people who reach a certain level in education and pass the required A levels - which used to be around 25% of us - this education then could be free by having student grants and also Universities should be encouraged to educate and grant places only to as many people as will get jobs after they graduate with a few in hand for drop outs!! Before you say not possible Universities are able to do it with surgeons QED
I am suggesting that based on what we observe an ordered universe a planet that maintains equilibrium and all the workings within it - how a tree duplicates it self, how we have rainfall to refresh us and there is no salt in it. Minerals to allow us to develop new technologies plants that feed us air to breath etc This indicates design and engineering. As I have said before if you visited another planet and found high tech machines buildings waterways etc would you conclude that they must have appeared by chance?
I could go on you wont beat me or for that matter God he knows you even if you dont know him
Markm It is you who are asserting that God doesnt exist so I ask the same of you - prove that the world universe were not designed and that it is all just random events resulting in what we see now. You prove there is no God.
You cant!!!!
Markm really - If we know less than half of it then the evidence you are suggesting is more than likely to be wrong. what do you mean creating man from dust is not possible where is your evidence?
As far as the garden of Eden is concerned dont tell me you believe we were all monkees once and there were lots of steps between monkeys and us. If this is the case then where are the intermediate steps between monkeys and us. Monkeys still exist and we exist but there are no intermediates around - Unless you count you and atheists :) all meant in the best possible taste lol
Granted but I suggest that there are 100's of murders per year of innocent people, if Capital Punishment were reintroduced this would half (government figures show murders doubled immediately ollowing abolision) So we might kill 2 or 3 innocent people with the death penalty but save the lives of 100's of people who would have been murdered.
Furthermore if the death penalty were only applied if there were eyewinesses and supporting eviidence and that the jury was unanimous in a verdict beyond reasonable doubt. Then the likelyhood would drop of getting it wrong
I agree I have also met both theists and atheists and some cant string a logical argument together at all. I find with many people that they seriously belief we humans have knowledge where science and physics in particular are concerned. This is nonsense of course we have knowledge and we have come a long way but the fact remains we dont know more than half of it. Ok we can clone one being and make a new one but can we make one from scratch.
God made man from the dust - there is no evidence to suggest that this isnt possible its just that we dont know how to do it!!!. Jesus appearing and disappearing again highly likely to be possible after all we think transportation may be possible. Lastly if you had told someone 200 years ago that you would be reading this message sent by someone 1000's of miles away only seconds after they typed it. You would have been locked up in an institution. and they thought they were clever then having established that the world wasnt flat!!!
Atheists non believers always call on believers to prove it. We dont have to prove anything because even if we did you wouldnt believe it. Thats what Belief and Faith is all about perhaps you should look up the meaning of the words.
As far as Intervention is concerned We Mankind have the resources to make sure no one starves and dies of curable disease - but lets face it if God intervened by forming a World Government and took from us 30% of our Belongings including all TV's mobile phones, Homes Lap Tops Cars etc etc In order to pay for the irrigation and drugs required . Would you be happy because thats the kind of help they require, not to mention put a couple of them up at our house for 5 years while the construction went on
Ok If there is no evidence then please tell me where is your evidence that I am wrong as I am sure you will realise it is not possible to prove or disprove the existance of a creator. All we have to go on is observation and your observations lead you to conclude what is most likely solution. I believe for me there is sufficient evidence to lead me to conclude that the Universe was created. There is no need to be abusive unless you feel threatened by the existance of a being superior to you
Much of the Bible is Historical fact - a document detailing events that actually happened . God has a name It is Emmanuel and I think you will find there is only one God Allah and Emmanuel are one in the same person Religion is man created all the different beliefs have sprung up from Mans Greed and corruption. Do not confuse God with Religion religions are corrupt especially the big ones
