Please show me where I said any of that, other than the evolution thing (which by the way is just a theory, so any opinion is valid). I want examples stating I said the earth is 6000 years old and that Leviticus should be taken 100% literally. Please.

On another note, how does my belief in those things have to do with this case? You are such a trolling moron. Your anti-christian, anti-anything that isn't vetted to get you laid by a hairy-assed hippie chic is beyond pathetic.

Oh BTW, those who are actually involved in a discourse about the original topic, ignore the Troll Laser tag.

This alone discredits anything you say.

just thought i'd pull this little snippet of wisdom out of the rest of the post and give it a second look.

a theory is an attempt to explain observations. hence, darwin's theory of evolution is a theory. it is an attempt to explain the observable phenomenon known as evolution, which is itself factually proven. organisms change genetically over time inter-generationally based on environmental stimuli, we know this, we can observe it, and we can prove it.

modern treatment of infection and germ theory is founded as well on the observable phenomenon known as evolution. modern food production is also founded upon our ancestors' observations of evolution. most of our modern crops and domestic animals, for instance, are a product of millenia of engineered evolution.

any world view that rejects observable phenomena are not theories, they are rather known as the insane ramblings of a lunatic.

i'm sure you have been presented this argument before and judged it as preposterous that such a thing as evolution exists and is observable, but maybe this can reach someone else.

Are you serious? For one you spelled millennia wrong. Secondly, are you suggesting that interbreeding various livestock to achieve hardier varieties proves evolution? What a moron. If you want to prove evolution then explain how a fish became an ape, then became a human being. You can't can you. Can you assure me that if you breed two sparrows together 5 trillion times eventually you will get a giraffe? No? I guess your observable phenomenon just aren't there huh? Nice try. I think you are confusing adaption and animal husbandry with evolution. Don't feel bad. Most people who believe in evolution don't know the difference.

Now can we please get back to the original subject which is about the cop killer.

Eh, you were decent at trolling before but this is just sad.

The very same sentence that corrects my spelling also contains a comma error. Please forgive me of my sins, and I shall forgive you yours.

let me explain it to you another way. Take gravity. When you throw a ball off of the side of a building, it falls. That's gravity. The fact that the ball fell is just that; a fact. It can't be rationally explained away as not having happened. Now when you do this a hundred times, and you predict based on your observation of the ball falling a hundred times that the ball will once again fall on the 101st attempt, that's a theory (we call it the "theory of gravity"). It can be demonstrably proven or disproven on your 101st attempt whether or not the ball will fall. That doesn't mean your theory becomes a fact - your theory will never be a fact, because it is trying to predict rather than observe. Predictions can never be facts.

The current "theory of evolution" (not quite the same as darwin's theory of evolution, but he wasn't so far off) has been able to accurately predict the results of experimentation for some time. It will surely either be revised or cast aside if new experimentation renders its predictive power useless. this is why it is being taught in schools. What can any alternative interpretation of the facts predict?

Creationists posit that there are no transitional fossils of apes into humans - when you show them the evidence though, they can't agree which fossils are ape and which are human. Looks like transitional fossils to me.

How about this: Would you defend the proposition that bacteria resistant to synthetic penicillins (and indeed, all hypothetical drug-resistant bacteria that may exist in the future to as of yet undiscovered drugs) were already in existence from the beginning of creation?

Georgia is one of the more backwards places in the nation, in my opinion.

I'm also surprised no one has mentioned that stupid Reba song.
