If you believe as I do then both Jesus and King Richard can fit into your ideology. And you can love them both.

I love Jesus because His teachings can better our lives. And help us determine Gods will for us.

I love Dawky because he is a superb biologist and the leading expert on Evolutionary Theory. Which I believe in. But I think Dawkins is wrong by claiming the genetic modifications are only random. I think that God has directed them. One day Dawkins will maybe learn this.

Meanwhile, as a believer in Theistic Evolution, I can have my science and religion and eat it too! For me they don't have to be at odds. Science just shows us inside of God's handiwork.

Jesus was Gods special Son. Dawkins is one of science's special sons. Why can't I love them both? God provided us with these wonderful minds of science. So they can explain the intricacies of His Work to us. So to mock Dawky is to mock God. Shame on you.

John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

24 For John was not yet cast into prison.

25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

The Bible is the Word of God. The Bible says you must believe Jesus is raised from the dead or you are not saved. You cannot be saved if you have no Savior who conquered death. Unity church is evil, it is a mix of Hinduism and occult using words pretending to be Christian. "Christ" "Christian" "God"

"Saved" "Savior" and such terms used by Unity are completely different than the Bible. Unity is from Hell, that's why it has demons working in it to give suicidal maniacs visions of the gates of Hell so that they think they have purpose for living as they push forward feeling like they are powerful heading toward those flaming gates.

Unity church likes to find bastards who bragged about how they used to assault Christians and make them think they are serving God. Unity also enjoys having members who set fire to Church of Satan meeting places. They are also fond of homosexuals and necromancers.

If Dawkins has a son, what is that son? It's a man, correct?

God has a Son, what is that Son? It's God.

Dawkins is a sinner.

Jesus cannot sin because He is God.

Jesus wins. Dawkins loses if Jesus is not his Savior

You lose because you equate Dawkins with Jesus when Jesus is equal with God.

Dawkins is your Savior the same as Jesus is your Savior since in your thinking neither of them have conquered death and neither of them can save you from dying. You are dying, on death row, being executed for your sin. You have no Savior because you deny the power of God to conquer death, you deny the bodily resurrection of God the Son so you have no Savior. You are dying and on your way to Hell.

If Dawkins has a son the Son is a human being obviously, like Dr Dawkins.

God DOES have sons. You and I are two of them. So is ALL the men of Earth who come to Him. Jesus was simply one of His sons, albeit a very special one.

I lose nothing. This is all common sense. I am far from dying, my friend. I am thriving under the tutelage and Instruction and Grace of the One True God who Saved Me. My explanation to you of Evolution and of God's Work ARE the correct one, and it is you, sadly, who dies intellectually as well as Spiritually for not seeing the Truth when I offer it to you.

Yes, I'm sure Dawkins will push God away forever. That's how he's going to end up in Hell, he wants absolute certainty that God is not good, and the only place with nothing good from God is Hell....Dawkins is asking for it and going to get it. Sounds like you are the same as Dicky.

Jesus does not push people around, He draws them in by His goodness. God is good to you, and He's trying to draw you in to Himself to reason with you so you can be forgiven. Jesus is God, He created us. You are making the same kind of arguments the Devil uses trying to assert his right to roam free not bowing to his Creator. God deserves our honor, respect, worship, He deserves to be bowed to by us, He created us, He gives us life, the least we can do is bow to Him and say "thank you".

You are not humble in your belief of god. Let people know of god , but do not force god. For if he exists then he is certainly powerful enough to defend himself , without the aid of zealots.

(unsurprisingly) you clearly have no idea what evolution is. It is gradual, there was no "uncle monkey", additionally we never evolved FROM monkeys.

Yes, I have no idea what evolution is.

Even as a little child I had the brains to be suspicious of the motives of whoever wanted me to believe in evolution.

You have sacrifice your intelligence to the religion of naturalism, the god of evolution, and all it promises is death and you are on your way to Hell where nothing good will indicate God's love as that is the way you want reality now and God in His love for you is reluctantly letting you have what you really want.

28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Yes, I have no idea what evolution is. When I was five years old they told me that my ancestors were some kind of monkey and I scratched my head and said "I have no idea why they expect me to believe that, and I wonder why they want me to believe it." Even as a little child I had the brains to be suspicious of the motives of whoever wanted me to believe in evolution.

You have sacrifice your intelligence to the religion of naturalism, the god of evolution, and all it promises is death and you are on your way to Hell where nothing good will indicate God's love as that is the way you want reality now and God in His love for you is reluctantly letting you have what you really want. You are asking to be left in Hell's fire forever, fool. I'm proving that I am your friend by caring enough to tell you the truth.

I thought Sean Penn played in Dead Man Walking?

LOL.

But Saint: you should not forget that your God created King Dickie! Perhaps he did it to tell us all something?

That's where I got the term. Back in the days when I was not too concerned about how brief our time here is, I wasted a lot of time watching movies. I did enjoy "Dead Man Walking", and I like the analogy of how we are all marching toward our final moment in this world. We are dead men walking and talking.

I also like the analogy of "zombies", though they supposedly talk little or none. But the dead men walking are like zombies, the undead. Eternally dying. If we don't have eternal life, we are eternally dying and their is no way out except God give us life. It's about hope, real hope, my friend.........hope in the promises of God, and knowing He always keeps His word. He gives life because he is good. The meaning of life is that God is good. Life means God is good.

God created Adam and Eve. We were created in Adam and Eve, but not brought into existence until sin had polluted Adam's genes and he was programmed to be a dead man walking. We are all born like King Dickie, sinners, and our whole kingdom in reality is lost unless we get a new King who can give us life.

Did you read my story of how I rescued four people in a traffic accident? True story, happened in Pontiac, I could dig up the police report if I tried hard enough, it was on the day of my state real estate agent's exam, I was in a bit of a hurry to get there.........four lanes one way on 59 eastbound out of Pontiac before it turns into free way.....the minivan in the right center and me passing in the left center.....just as my front bumper passed their rear bumper, the minivan suddenly turned left in front of me trying to turn onto Paddock. I tried to turn with them to avoid hitting them, but I could not keep from hitting them as we were both turning. It pushed the minivan over toward the curb, and the curb kind of tripped it's feet and the thing just rolled over onto the lawn and came to a stop. I stopped quickly, jumped out of my truck and there were four people hanging upside down from their seat belts. I thought the thing might burst into flames and I'd be standing there watching four people burn to death....that was worst to think of than being in there with them, so I dove in through the shattered side window to try to get them out. Released their seat belts one by one and got them out the window, then got myself out. Other drivers were just sitting in their cars watching with there jaws hanging. A police officer arrived quickly and those four people were all pointing in different directions trying to tell where they came from and how they got where they were. It was obvious what happened, I showed the officer, and she let me go on my way immediately....I think after she looked at my insurance, license and registration. My record was squeaky clean and it was obvious I was totally not at fault. Those four people never said thank you to me....but they were very shaken up, I'm sure they thought about it later.

The point is this. God sees we are dying and in danger of being lost forever, so He took on Human form and plunged Himself in to our sufferings, took our place in death, paid our price so He can bring us up out of it in His bodily resurrection. There is no hope of life except for what God did for us as God the Man, Christ Jesus. This is the gospel, that we can be saved from dying and have eternal life. Only admit we have sinned (turned the wrong way) and need to be saved, believe on what the Savior did for us, and ask God in the name of Jesus Christ to save us, receiving Him by faith believe in what He did for us. It's not religion, it's reality, what God did for us...not what we can do for ourselves in religion.

When I rescued those people, it was only temporary, what Jesus did for us is permanent. I'm saved now, He is my life, His life is eternal, I have eternal life and I want everybody to have what I have.

I love how to have For/Against debates so no matter what we pick we're agreeing with you. Insecure much?
