I think he knows, however, that there are some uneducated people that will believe it. Aside from the fact that evolution and abiogenesis are two different things, I don't seriously think he is that ignorant to assume that the current inability to make life from non-life out of SOME chemical mixtures means that you CAN'T make life from non-life out of ANY chemical mixtures. Additionally, even if we ignored the experiments that created organic material out of inorganic material, it doesn't prove the existence of God. This is what I call "Lies told for God."Yulacuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920466179192075331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337050523047172372.post-18536505135436128902007-03-28T14:28:00.000-06:002007-03-28T14:28:00.000-06:00I have a friend whose family moved to Waynesboro a...I have a friend whose family moved to Waynesboro after we graduated high school. And I have family in Kingsport. Big Stone Gap is further west than we were. I grew up in Galax, directly opposite of Roanoke from Waynesboro, about the same distance.<BR/><BR/>Big universe.

One of the few towns I do know of (kinda) is Big Stone Gap, from the books by Adrianna Triggiana. I think her "Big Cherry Holler" is fictional but BSG isn't!<BR/><BR/>The closest I physically got to there was Kingsport TN. Beautiful to look at, I know. Easy living? Probably not.<BR/><BR/>Mix in some gaud-iness and you're lost forever.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354947211835100686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337050523047172372.post-50243616606495818012007-03-27T20:32:00.000-06:002007-03-27T20:32:00.000-06:00The whole Way of the Master series is amusing in a...The whole Way of the Master series is amusing in a really sad way. <A HREF="http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php?title=The_Way_of_the_Master" REL="nofollow">Iron Chariots has posted counter arguments of three of them</A>, including <A HREF="http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php?title=The_Beauty_of_a_Broken_Spirit-Atheism_%28Way_of_the_Master%29" REL="nofollow">the one the banana argument came from</A>.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496871164729312497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337050523047172372.post-2789649425869745482007-03-27T20:17:00.000-06:002007-03-27T20:17:00.000-06:00Holy shit!

Hehe. <BR/><BR/>I've also commented on the damn banana video: http://new-atheist.blogspot.com/2006/11/its-bananas.html<BR/>To sum up: bananas don't grow in nature, they're "genetically modified" by man to be the fun edible form we know & love, and cannot exist in the wild! *sigh*new.atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642347643788619786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7337050523047172372.post-2040905192455082952007-03-27T11:12:00.000-06:002007-03-27T11:12:00.000-06:00“Jesus Camp follows a group of young children to P...“Jesus Camp follows a group of young children to Pastor Becky Fisher's "Kids on Fire Summer Camp," where kids are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in God's army and are schooled in how to take back America for Christ. The film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future.”<BR/><BR/>You know, some days I feel optimistic about the future of this country and then I read something like this and get very nervous and scared for my kids. How are these nut jobs different from the training camps in the Middle East? The only thing that separates them is that over there they teach their kids to willingly and happily sacrifice their lives for their god and I’m afraid our local American fanatics are only a small step away from teaching their kids to do the same. <BR/><BR/>And the videos are unbelievable! This is their best argument against the brightest minds on this planet and against evolution?! The fact that there is no new life in the peanut butter jar he got at the grocery store and that bananas have 3 ridges and are curved?! Come on! I don’t know if there is anything we can do against moronic beliefs like that. I think these people cannot be helped. <BR/>Very sad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960403798630660129noreply@blogger.com
