WVUforREDSKINS Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sith Lord is now on my list of people to never take seriously. He has implied that there was no early man. Hence, museums are full of lies. As are scientist, and carbon dating. Sithlord is one strange animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 As for man being being better than other creatures. That is very debatable. Is a species that could very well, one day, be responsible for the destruction of all life on earth that great? "chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hangin' around in drug gangs do ya? You don't see a chicken hooking up some guys nuts to a car battery do ya? When is the last chicken that came home from work and beat the **** out of his hen? Doesn't happen, cuz chickens are decent people." -Carlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sith lord Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Would God not want us to be classified as animals when he created us in his image? Why wouldn't he? I am sure he knew what we would eventually be classified as down the line, as he gave the knowledge to the individual that classified humans as animals, to classify humans as animals. You're just putting your own spin on what God thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rincewind Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 How? Everything I have said is in the bible. Nice try though. And? That is the spin that Christians put on what they believe God said. I know you believe the Bible to be true and therefore think it is definitive, but to those of us that don't believe in it, we have to come up with what we personally think God was about.

Stophovr6 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Etymology The word "animal" comes from the Latin word animale, neuter of animalis, and is derived from anima, meaning vital breath or soul. In everyday colloquial usage, the word usually refers to non-human animals. The biological definition of the word refers to all members of the Kingdom Animalia. Therefore, when the word "animal" is used in a biological context, humans are included.[1] ^ "Animal". The American Heritage Dictionary (Forth). (2006). Houghton Mifflin Company.

WVUforREDSKINS Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Oh, an athiest. Im sorry but you are mentally impaired. You should get help How could a book that has been written over and over changed around by different people make it fit what they wanted it to say possibly not be 100% true? Especially when there is a talking snake and a talking burning bush. edit: I don't want this to turn into another bible debate. So I won't respond any more unless you want to debate why humans ARE part of the animal kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reic Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 No, but I do know what he said on certain topics. So you were there, then? Before you bash me on it, I believe in God, and read the bible from time to time, but I do not take every word in it to be literal truth, such as humans were created in God's image. Does God look like a human? I won't know until I get to heaven. There is no mention of Dinosaurs in the beginning of the bible, when God was creating Earth, but there is proff that they did exist. Earth was created in 7 days? To my understanding the bible was first written in hebrew, and in hebrew the word that was translated to day actually means length of time. What is a day to God? I do know that God created everything that we see today, that includes knowledge, of which science is a part of, which means he created science, and instilled the knowledge in the individual that classified us a mammals, which, biologically speaking, classifies us as animals. Humans are mammals, I have hijacked this thread enough, already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of dinosaurs, I believe when God said great beast walked the earth, I believe he might have been refering to dinosaurs. Remember, the word dinosaur is a man made name. A day to God is 1,000 years if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sith lord Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 So is God. The word God is just the english term. That doesn't mean it was a man made word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 A day to God is 1,000 years if I'm not mistaken. That's just a saying, indicating that time means nothing to God, not a literal equation. What Reic is referring to is that the word we translate as "day" in Genesis is the Hebrew "Yom", which can mean day, but can also mean an "age" or "period of time" (it's used later in Genesis 2:4 to refer to the entire 6 "day" creation week, for example, so it's not always a literal day). So, different people read Genesis as spanning anywhere from 6 literal days to billions of years, and there is support for either reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
