Just a few I found with a really quick search...

This is not fear mongering, it’s reality. Stop diminishing the threat of terrorism.

C'mon "foiled attacks"! You are joking right?

Hmm I foiled some terrorist attacks too.

Boy you are lucky because they would have been terrible indeed. No need to thank me. Just know that every day that goes by terror free, that I am the one responsible. I promise you.

Each of the links stated that the movements state that the Biblical creation story is not literally true and that Darwinian evolution (as opposed to Intelligent Design or merely microevolution) should be taught in biology classes.

If a rejection of the literal truth of the creation story in Genesis is not a rejection of creationism I don't know what is.


Certainly to go into to detail with someone who refuses to acknowledge the plain truth about Jewish beliefs vis-a-vis evolutionary theory.

You are full of it.

"Rejection of the literal truth of the creation story in Genesis" is not rejection of creationism as a whole.

You are either very ignorant on the subject or you are purposely twisting facts to "Win" an argument.

I suggest that you try to become more enlightened before you start such baseless arguments.

Oh, so you think the Intelligence is protecting you all the time since 9/11.
That means that every propaganda from politicians about "I will fight terrorism and safe the country" is nothing but nonsense, isn't it?

And how is Wiretapping, HLS act, Patriot act and the MC-Act related to the new, "improved security" that "avoided dozens of attacks on US soil" since 9/11?

Unlike you, I actually believe there is a terror threat. Might not be significant, but it still exists.

And since you're evading all those links about foiled terror attacks, I do NOT see why I should continue this conversation.

You and Ion should get married.

I'd like to ask you politically skilled people in here if you actually believe in this terrorists "War on Terror" Hype in here.

While I know that Terrorists are real, I don't believe that the Hype justifies legislative limitations of our Freedoms. Quite frankly, I believe it's a political game.

I also don't believe in a Al Qaida threat that is more dangerous than a pin in the ass for the western world in general who don't use to poke into a Beehive. The current politics also portrays that it's far away from being a priority and therefore I refuse to believe the Hype, especially because no one here in central Europe is afraid of them beside probably the UK.

And I will follow the arguments for and against it for a while for politeness reasons.

I will refrain from obvious jokes about changing your medication dosages for politeness reasons.

On the plus side, this post was more lucid than your "statistical" one. Not that that's saying much.

"Rejection of the literal truth of the creation story in Genesis" is not rejection of creationism as a whole.

But acceptance of Darwinian evolution is. And the websites do that as well. Which you'd know if you read the websites.

I suggest that you try to become more enlightened before you start such baseless arguments.

I suggest that you not try to belittle an opponent who has better reading comprehension than yourself.

If your idea of "better reading comprehension" is fact twisting, then we will have to agree to disagree.

If you want to convince someone else here that your cockamamy position is anything more than just that. I suggest you paste some of the passages that back your claim, (with links).

But once again I am sure you will claim, you don't have time to go into it.

 

[marksman]

I did You merely denied their existence. I do have the time, but what's the point with someone who won't even acknowledge that which is written in plain English?

 

[MIKILLINI]

Really now, isn't all of this based on faith? Isn't creationism, faith based? How about Islam? How about Darwin? Just have to find that missing link, otherwise it's faith based. How about atheists? Based on the belief of no divine creator, and, even now, they are arguing about which category of Atheist each one is.
Whatever each believes, I say fine, thats your business, just don't push it on Me as I won't push mine on you. Through history this has been most prominent for death, destruction, war. Ideology mixed with theology is a danger to free thought and expression and leads to oppression.
Radicalism emerges from this and is used to stir people up by playing on their fears and fundamental beliefs to point the finger.

 

[Azure]

Creationism SHOULD be faith based...but too many people trump it up as science. Obviously it becomes inept when presented that way.

 

[marksman]

No. Creationism is faith-based because it is a belief despite the evidence, and often tries to make the evidence fit the theory. Darwinian evolutionary theory follow the theory that best fits the available evidence, and is revised when new evidence is adduced.

Whatever each believes, I say fine, thats your business, just don't push it on Me as I won't push mine on you.

Agreed.
