Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4

send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?
Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.
"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

So... only Pentacostals and Southern Baptists are going to be Raptured?
Who said anything about a rapture. The bible speaks nothing about a rapture. Jesus comes back to rescue the Living in Christ. Goes back to Heaven and thats it. The Dead in Christ, and the Living in Christ. The Dead go first then the Living. |

The New Age is slowly coming upon us gentleman, be prepared to pick sides sooner than you think. If you already haven't picked sides!!!!!
Unsupported assertation #156.
Yawn.
Well sounds like you've picked your side, 'mammon' it shall be.
You and your ilk have been predicting the end of the world for 1900 years. And since you have no evidence for it, I can safely say that your prediction is bullshit, just like your combination ad hominem and appeal to consequences.
I've been called worse names by better men than you, fundie troll.
I've already picked my side. You just think it's different than yours.
Why don't you play hide and go fuck yourself?

Mammon is a psuedonym for The Devil, Old Scratch, Satan, Beelezebub, The Dark Lord, Lord of Lies, etc. The Christian personification of Evil in demi-god form. |

It's been a while since I read The Guide (I also have the tapes). I coundn't remember where Ecentrica was from. And I paraphrased a bit, as I'm sure other Hitchikers here have noticed.
Ah, Doug Adams, but we do miss you so.

I hate to be politically correct but shouldn't we change "Babylon the great whore" to "Babylon the great lady of the evening" or something.
I mean Babs is just trying to earn a living! |

Try Sinfest. If you browse through the archives a bit, you're bound to find him manning (deviling?) his "Anything You Want" booth.

The customary term nowadays is "sex worker". And if she has a problem with wages or working conditions, she can join the Wobblies- there's an Industrial Unit (IU660) dedicated to sex workers.
