]]> Comment on Article: Ten Questions to Ask Your Biology Teacher About Evolution by David Harrison http://lintbox.com/2008/09/13/ten-questions-to-ask-your-biology-teacher-about-evolution/comment-page-1/#comment-187 David Harrison Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:53:02 +0000 http://lintbox.com/?p=646#comment-187 As a consequence of the Atheist Bus Campaign we received so many visitors through atheist websites that we created an Atheist Visitors Welcome page. An article is included titled "Consider the Peacock". We received numerous responses and have even updated the article to include a few scientific corrections we received from a PhD. The disappointment was that not one person has yet answered the simple question asked at the end. I am reminded of a Monty Python sketch where John Cleese is caught in bed with another woman when his wife walks in on them. He completely denies the other woman's existence and, after the woman having left, is able to convince his wife that she is completely mistaken and never saw anything. The first rule of defense is always deny, deny, deny! The biggest problem with evolutionary science is that the scientists and never able to 'prove' anything in the evolutionary process. Sought of like a believer trying to prove God. In both instances it ultimately comes down to interpretation of the evidence.

The amount of real evidence pointing to the entire operation of 9/11 being a hoax is just too numerous to be ignored. Please take a look at the following article: http://www.prisonplanet.com/twenty-minutes-with-the-president.html I invite you to click some of the links that the article has surrounding real evidence, that cannot be explained by conspiracy debunkers. Please review all of the information I have given to you, and then tell me that there is not some credibility behind the 9/11 conspiracy "facts".

(March 24th) did you actually address your comment to God or to your readers? If you were sincere in your comment I am sure God has already answered. If your comment was directed to your readers I suspect you were met with deafening silence! God looks at the heart! When Paul penned the words you refer to on the study, it was not wishful thinking. I can echo his words with absolute conviction. If you are indeed sincere in 'hearing from God' may I suggest the following: Tell Him (prayer). Read the four Gospel messages in the Bible. Buy yourself a copy of THE SHACK by William Younge. Please let me know how it goes. David Hi Mitchell,

When you wrote “Your move, God.” (March 24th) did you actually address your comment to God or to your readers?

If you were sincere in your comment I am sure God has already answered. If your comment was directed to your readers I suspect you were met with deafening silence! God looks at the heart!

When Paul penned the words you refer to on the study, it was not wishful thinking. I can echo his words with absolute conviction.

If you are indeed sincere in ‘hearing from God’ may I suggest the following:

Tell Him (prayer).
Read the four Gospel messages in the Bible.
Buy yourself a copy of THE SHACK by William Younge.

Please let me know how it goes.

David
