    Stosh - I think you are reading too much into "The Origin of Species".. So humans originated from Neanderthals who originated from something else, who originated from something else.. But at some point it ends with some long ago extinct living creature and no one will explain where that came from.. The cat came from long ago extinct barbourofelis, who came from Dirk tooth who came from the Saber kitty.. But where did the Saber kitty come from?? (and yes I looked that up, I knew they were ancestors of the saber Tooth, but was not sure if we jumped from Saber tooth to kitty and it appears we d

    Yeah I admit not a heavy lifter of boring stuff.. It has to be an article of interest, for me usually dealing with history so mummy's and buried cities rediscovered, and some evolution when they find very old mass graves, or bones that predate what they knew before, or are found in an area further then they new the animal was commonly known to be, or interesting old artifacts found locally.. Perhaps those interesting articles are not totally accurate??.. Just to let you know my religious beliefs are not threatened by any science. Your scientist pals can create man-made life and I am still

    Professor says back to school... Well I know I can't sit down with a full fledge scientist and talk turkey.. My limited understanding of science comes from reading articles (that interest me, I admit to me most scientific articles are yawners), that have dumbed down the science in order to relate to us average folk.. And yes, some of my understanding of that reading may have strayed, or my memory of an article I read 2 years back may have a little rust on it.

    Of course it's a pretty paltry attempt, when they are not attempting to do what you are accusing them of they aren't going to do a good job at it. They are explaining how humans and other living creatures evolved (or became extinct) by studying their bones / fossils & for humans artifacts.. How you think they are suppose to jump to explaining the spark of life or the soul from a bunch of dusty old bones has me scratching my head.. Now if you want to fear some science maybe someday possibly being able to recreate manmade life (rather then life from the reproduction system of life) and

    Honestly I believe the tin foil has gotten crappier over the years.. Normal tin foil is now good only to cover a dish, but not to either line a pan or do aluminum cooking with.. Heavy duty Tin foil is what normal tin foil use to be.. You can line a pan, but I advise wrapping twice if using for aluminum foil cooking, because using a single sheet can lead to tearing when picking up the packet... Grill foil I put at where heavy duty foil use to be.. I have not found a person who did not like this yet, and I have used with different groups at trainings.. Even my son likes it (all of it) and th

    If you agree to stay with "How will you implement it", you may stay out of I & P, but if you allow opinion as to whether it is a good or bad idea, the only way that we don't end up back here is if we have had our fill on this topic enough to keep us happy for a month or two.

    Mozart - That is your opinion of science, mine is very different.. When has the religious opened the Bible to be disproved and if disproved is willing to rewrite the bible?.. Religion does not look for proof, it just asks you to believe.. You may point to a resistance for science to change, but a resistance to change is very different then never accepting change or never looking for proof.. Resistance to change is just human nature, it may take a generation so that scientist who have their egos wrapped up in their theories retire, but if there is proof change it will.. Now it still might no

    You are entitled to your beliefs Stosh.. As stated by others, since there are many scientists who can study science and have a religious faith both, since many religions are not threatened by science then I through that I have found my peace of mind.. Different ways different religions have found a way to reconcile the two, but the one I heard growing up which seemed fine by me was that the six days was more poetic or that a day for God was millions of years for us.. If you look the timeline for when things were created then the Bible & science are in sync.. This is not to say your be

    Stosh - I feel bad that you feel we have been calling you ignorant, especially if you feel I was part of it.. I have not seen anyone here calling you ignorant or stupid.. For me, you are simply a rare find of someone I have heard about but never before met.. Then in an open discussion stating what I believe to see where we differ.. But, then sometimes you moved away from religious beliefs to state other beliefs you hold... The majority of Americans do not believe in evolution. That either creationism theory should be taught in school or evolution not taught in school.. Those are not a part

    Thanks for the info Packsaddle, I knew someone passed that (thought it was a state, not a district), I didn't realize that it was later overturned as unconstitutional.. Every now & then I hear of someone thinking about it, but was not sure if it passed or not.. Since AZMike's comment would shift this from a religious thread to a political thread, I will pass on commenting.. Electing a new president is less then 2 years away and I am sure as we get closer to that we will have plenty of threads that are more political in nature. Evolution just got discussed within the realm of this t
  11. moosetracker
    Pretty much same with what my church taught.. After all evolution is not in the bible, so you did not need to believe in evolution to be in-sync with the religion.. It was simply they did not draw a line in the sand and say either you believe in the bible, or you believe in evolution but you can not believe in both.. They found a way to reconcile why evolution did not discount the bible. Since I have never met anyone but Stosh who can't accept evolution except to read about the a State or two that refuse to have it in their science books, from my point of view I would say most people who were

    Stosh - What about AZMikes comment? I know the liberal protestant churches I grew up in were just fine with blending science and religion together also. Also since most of the united states but a few red states have accepted teaching evolution in their science courses, that to me says the majority of people in this country are fine with accepting this science.. For me religion is pure faith.. Evolution has thousands of fossils that show changes over time, it offers me more then faith.. If my religion wanted me to have pure faith in it, while part of it's belief system was t

    What's wrong Stosh? Isn't this the typical way we answer a question... It seems the loop de loop is as per normal.

    Ok, I will stop obsessing.. I also did not note that in the post where you asked Stosh & Sentinal to point out the thread in question, you later knew exactly which thread it was.. Also confused over the use of the word locked, rather then password protected.. Yes, that one is password protected on me also, and a weird one to be password protected since it seems like it should be a help guide to newbie members.
  15. moosetracker
    I know I can read, but not post.. But Stosh & Sentinel both state that they can not access it at all (If this is the thread in question.)
  16. moosetracker
    I am not sure if this really is the one Stosh is talking about, but Stosh was one of the last posters to this thread, and it is in Issues & Politics.. The full titile is "Pin Heads Vote to Remove Flag" the posters on this thread were TwoCub, Skeptic, TAHAWK, qwasze, dcsimmons, Stosh, NJCubScouter, RememberSkiff, (you) Packsaddle, Merlyn.. It was locked on March 9th, so if this is the one, no one noticed it being locked for quite a while.. It has a little lock symbol on it.. I also am confused why I can get into it, but others can't.. Seems when you locked it, you were under the imp
  17. moosetracker
    Are you talking about the "PinHead" Tread.. I can read it, just can't post to it (which is what I am use to in other forums that lock threads..).. I think Packsaddle tsk, tsk a few of you (not anyone by name, just a general tsk,tsk to the lot of you), but what ever Meryln wrote I suspect was the tipping point, not your post Stosh.. You posted, then Merlyn posted.. Pack removed Merlyn's post, verbally shook his finger at everyone who posted, and locked the thread.. I am not sure where I am can double check the forum rules.. Other forums have a rule against discussing on the forum the action

    Ok, but then why is it stated "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Why not all life, did God not breathe as much life into a cat, bird or lizard (painted canvas wise)? Still think it must be my sunny disposition.. Cat's can sing as well as I, and birds can sing better..
  19. moosetracker
    Ooops, you changed your post.. Darn those cross posts.. Perhaps evolution Is his way, still can work on those kneecaps for Packsaddle.. (Got your back Packsaddle.) So are you saying I take after God with my winning personality? My sunny disposition? My singing talent? (plug your ears) My love of chocolate? My poise & grace? (Ha)..
  20. moosetracker
    Are you saying as God continues to make improvements on himself, my descendants will get those improvements also? If God went in for a nose job, my descendants will all have better looking noses also?.. Well maybe not that superficial, but perhaps God could work on that kneecap problem for Packsaddles... Cool..

    I do not recall my sons pack or any of the various troops he was in doing anything like this for lost items.. The closest thing I remember is the troop meeting before a backpack outing the boys would need to come in with their backpacks packed and the SM would turn them upside down and shake them to see if anything fell out.. The first time the SM did it all scouts were taken unawares.. Afterwards, new scouts would be forewarned by the older scouts.. Still if anyone didn't have a tight pack it normally was the new scouts until they learn the tricks to tighten everything up.. I would imagine it

    Thanks Rick, I feel younger already.. Here I had stopped aging at 21 (yea right!) But, now perhaps I am only 5 minutes old and God played a mean trick on me..
  23. moosetracker
    If God made me in his image as he did all our ancestors, and we have evolved and changed since our ancestors, does that mean God keeps on evolving & changing himself, and then he changes us to have his new traits?... Did God once look like a Neanderthal ??? Oh, no, could not be, throw that Darwin bum out ! And there you have the total confusion for those who deny Darwin's theory of Evolution, no matter how many bones and fossils are dug up to prove it.. Frankly I don't buy the God in human shape & form.. So I can embrace Darwin.. I guess that would be what Eagledad

    I would like to see you repeat that to the attendees when one of the churches meet for their annual or semi-annual conferences to discuss differences of opinion and arrive at decisions on which direction the church will follow..
  25. moosetracker
    Tell that to those who are today on 2 sides of an argument, each pointing to the bible to prove the other side is doing it wrong.. You will get each side to agree with you, then continue to fight for what they believe the Bible is telling them to do. All subject to interpretation and what verses we choose to highlight as important and which ones we think are not.. But for anyone who uses the Bible as a reference, the Bible will guide them.. It will just guide different religious denominations and people differently..
