Furthermore, these blasphemers do not accept the Bible as absolute truth, which is unfortunate, because if they had read the Bible, they would realize that it is, because the Bible says that the Bible is absolute truth, and as mentioned earlier in this sentence, the Bible is wholly true.

As is to be expected, these godless monsters cannot follow this logic.

That wasn't a cheap shot, just an observation. You could very well be right about why it was dog-slow coming up.

I did find it interesting that faith is a Christian invention, yes, and I'm sorry I missed the anniversary. I also liked the invitation to add to the information about how it doesn't exist "on" other religions, too.

I like how Wikipedia is anti-American for not using American spellings...

I thought they just meant that Wikipedia admits when America did something wrong, until I read that.

I think someone needs to make a parody "Christian American" encyclopaedia - with facts such as "terrorist dictator Saddam Hussein crashed WMDs into the Twin Towers".

Their article under "Otto" is about two sentences on Otto I, the Holy Roman Emperor. Wiki gives you a longish disambiguation page when you enter "Otto".

All the biology articles I found are also one, maybe two sentences and all refer to Exploring Creation Through Biology by one Dr. Jay Wile.

Global Warming is composed of two words: global and warming.

(who doesn't like warm things like puppies and blankets?)

-and 'ming'

(as in Ming The Merciless)


* Sounds pretty good so far, doesn't it?


* Oh, it gets better.


* Global warming will raise worldwide sea levels,

bringing the romantic canals of Venice right here to America.


* And why all the concern about retreating glaciers?

-A glacier would have no qualms about crushing a baby,

if that baby were placed in front of it for a century.


* Luckily, global warming will prevent that glacier from being a

I have to quote their article on the Theory of Evolution (don't worry, it's not very long):

The Theory of Evolution, introduced by Charles Darwin in his book On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life, published in 1859, is a scientific theory that explains the process of evolution via natural selection. The basic principle behind natural selection, states that in the struggle for life, some organisms in a given population will be better suited to their particular environment and thus have a reproductive advantage, increasing the representation of their particular traits over time.

But the process of natural selection is not an evolutionary process. The DNA in plants and animals allows selective breeding to achieve desired results. Dogs are a good example of selective breeding. The DNA in all dogs has many regressive traits. A desired trait can be produced in dogs by selecting dogs with a particular trait to produce offspring with that trait. This specialized selective breeding can continue for generation after generation until a breed of dog is developed. This is the same as the "survival of the fittest" theory of the evolutionists. Many different types of dogs can be developed this way, but they can never develop a cat by selectively breeding dogs--that would be macroevolution. Natural selection can never extend outside of the DNA limit. DNA cannot be changed into a new species by natural selection.

One of the common misconceptions concerning the theory of evolution is that there are six "types" that together form the theory scientific theory of evolution. The misconception can be described thus:

Cosmological evolution, Stellar Evolution, Chemical evolution, Planetary evolution, Microevolution, and Macroevolution. Cosmological evolution refers to the hypothesis that the entire universe was once contained within a small dot which exploded approximately 15 billion years ago, as evidenced by observations such as the cosmic background radiation. Stellar evolution is about how stars form from collapsing clouds of gas. Chemical evolution refers to the "primordial soup" containing the building blocks of the the molecules characteristic of life. Planetary evolution is the process by which the Earth, as well as the other planets of the solar system, formed from the left-overs of the gas cloud which formed the Sun.

In biological evolution, the distinction between Microevolution and Macroevolution is used to differentiate between changes within a kind (microevolution) versus changes to a new kind (macroevolution, shown to be impossible above). Nobody denies microevolution - it is observed all the time by scientists experimenting on fruit flies, orchid growers creating new variations, and even dog breeders as mentioned above. Micro-evolution is responsible for the multitude of differences between species that are observed now after Noah saved only 2 of each kind.

Supporters propound upon the Theory of Evolution as if it has scientific support. They switch tactics when pressed against the wall with solid scientific proofs against the Theory of Evolution by stating that evolution is "only" a theory. Using this flip-flop approach they try to have it both ways. They claim scientific support when none exists, and they claim it is only a theory when the theory straddles them with outlandish, impossible conclusion that violate scientific truths.
No references, no external links, not even to creationist sites.

At first I though nobody had gotten to the Abortion entry yet...

Abortion

The word abortion, in connection with pregnancy, can be defined as "Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival."[1] Thus, the word includes miscarriage, but commonly refers to induced abortion; that is, the intentional performance of a procedure which causes the death of a living organism. Most Christian conservatives regard human life as beginning at conception and consider abortion to be the murder of innocent babies while in the womb of their mother. They believe babies should be murdered within the first few years after they're born, especially if God orders the hit.

... but someone had. :p
