Once again disgraced Watergate criminal and convicted felon Chuck Colson is telling people how to tell right from wrong.
Google "Chuck Colson" and open your eyes to this evil man. (If you dare.)

"Chalke also told Christians that they have nothing to fear from new atheists like Richard Dawkins, author of the God Delusion, saying the fact that Dawkins recently identified himself as a 'cultural Christian' was tantamount to an admission that atheism is morally bankrupt."
No, Einstein, atheism is morally neutral, just like belief in God. Secular Humanism encourages good morals, unlike much of Christianity. Remember, Jesus himself condoned slavery.

Indiana Jones and the Origin of Life

Mr. Palmer puts everything neatly in perspective when he compares the different ways people react to ideas of where life came from , using a logic ("head") versus emotion ("heart"): "Heart: Think about what feelings come from the belief that we are nothing more than a result of undirected mutation which originated from either a scummy pool that got electrified, or a ‘seed’ from an alien race."
And there we have it: Mr. Palmer would have us follow our emotions, even though it is quite clear that reason and evidence are much more reliable that emotion when it comes to discovering what is true and what is false. Sorry, Mr. Palmer. There are many millions of us who will not throw away our greatest capacity as humans to indulge in comforting, infantile fantasies about magical, invisible friends.
And why do believers who question evolution seem so preoccupied that our ancestors were once algae? Yes, algae is not always aesthetically pleasing. Yes, "scum" is used to describe algae, and to serve as an nasty insult. But those who dislike the idea that we descended from one-celled plants like algae seem so hilariously disgusted by this notion as to appear mentally unbalanced. It's as if the conversation goes something like this:
"You are descended from a single-celled plant."
"How dare you call my granddaddy a single-celled plant! That idea is disgusting!"
People, please get a clue, and life, preferably in that order.

Adam wrote, "I reject the mountains of evidence for biological evolution because it's conclusion is that the universe is an accident."
Poor Adam. He isn't willing to admit that there are millions of Christians who believe that evolution did, in fact, occur.
Nor is he willing that the mountains of evidence for biological evolution do not force one to reach the conclusion is that the universe is an accident, but rather that the biblical account of creation is wholly inaccurate.
Adam, the Bible also says that the Earth is motionless.
Science says the Earth spins.
Which do you really believe? If you believe that the Earth does not spin, you need to get out more often.

john 14-6 wrote, "Wow, they sure seem very worried over Ben Stein's little movie, don't they? Ben's film must be hitting pretty close to the mark to get 'em all riled up like this."
So, by this reasoning, Jews who objected to Goebbels' anti-Jewish Nazi propaganda were offended not by the falsity of the propaganda, but rather by its accuracy.
Among Christians, this passes for logic. How sad.
