Just watched a 90 min. documentary on PBS discussing the controversial theory of "*Intelligent Design" The show titled JUDGEMENT DAY. Maybe some of you gentleman who frequent these threads, and I see several names that are quite attentive had the opportunity to view it. Basically the Term *ID was a synonym for "Creationism" in a somewhat surreptitious LOGO. Although a Magician can readily pull a rabbit out of a hat, one watching this slight of hand, knows (hopefully) that the hat did not give birth to the rabbit, nor did the rabbit appear out of thin air... it began as an embryo, just as the chicken did not suddenly fly out of the sky fully developed, it's early start was within an egg... the soup of primordial soup. Just as we began in the Ovum... nurtured through the umbilical.... This is rational reasoning is it not? Though some will teach their children differently?? Why? Because The GENESIS account says that both Parents had no umbilicals (Belly Buttons) this is where the Problems begin... The very first offspring commits the first *murder by killing it's brother. Please draw a distinction between rationalization and superstition. Here is a quote from Mr. G. Carlin that pretty much answers the question; Why Religion has to be so *Hostile... "RELIGION HAS ACTUALLY CONVINCED PEOPLE THAT THERE'S AN INVISIBLE MAN - LIVING UP IN THE SKY - WHO WATCHES EVERYTHING EVERYBODY DOES EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY. AND THIS INVISIBLE MAN HAS A LIST OF TEN THINGS HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO DO. THOSE WHO DISOBEY HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE HE HAS PREPARED READY FOR THEM, FULL OF FIRE AND BURNING TORTURE WHERE HE WILL SEND THEM TO SUFFER, BURN AND NEVER DIE, BUT REMAIN FOREVER TILL THE END OF TIME....BUT HE LOVES YOU! And lets not forget there is an alternative plan He had.. To send down from the sky his son through a Virgin birth, no Sperm involved this time (why? I have never figured that one out yet) although the baby did receive subsidence/nourishment through the conventional means this time.. The plan was to have this man murdered/killed to Save potential others from plan A (Hell fire forever remember) after the preconcieved brainstorm ends He sends an angel (spirit being) down to remove the heavy stone that seals this poor man's fate. Then up, up and away! Back to where he came from..to join the 3rd party in the group. That would be the Ghost I believe. Please understand I am not an atheist although reading my take on these observations would lead you to believe it. GOD is just a word man has issued, backwards it's spelling is just another word. There are many names used to describe this Deity, YAHWEH, JEHOVAH, the American indigenous tribes word was translated as the great spirit or creator.. the one who provides fresh water, salmon, deer, berries, rainbows, and the "happy hunting ground" for future afterlife. When white man's CHRISTIAN STORY reach them the message was... what you have believed through your ancestors is false, here is GOD on this CROSS. There is only one way to be saved from HELL.. and so it goes my friend... Young children in the Middle East are raised to believe to "blow themselves up" is to enter Heaven..... I have been showing my young 8 year old that the sharp thorns hidden amongst the delicious balckberries are there for a reason, yes there is an inherent design, function and purpose for the defense displayed here. Form and function is something my son will study and learn about in later grades. Here he observes that a rabbit can be saved from the canines of a wolf by entering the thorns.. a cat's claws have the same shape, a red tail hawk 's talon employs the same shape, curved sharp and can penetrate.. Nature is the designer, The creator and force of the universe designed nature, Now the mystery: Who designed the Creator ? Answer that and you get what's behind door # 3 JM
Hi John:
I didn't see the show. My understanding of ID is that it is just a stupid backdoor way to get the Genesis account of creation into public schools. I'm probably oversimplifying, the subject is uninteresting to me, even though I am a Christian.
However, this is not why I'm replying to your post.
How about the title of your thread, in juxtaposition with the amazingly rambling content! Whoa, is this modern non-linear association poetry at it's incomprehensible best....?
Or do you just need to blow the dust off of the old return key?
Does Genesis really say that Adam and Eve had no belly buttons? If so, I never knew that, but my biblical scholarship is pretty slipshod.
Take care, Jim
