Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

Hmm, so I guess you don't actually have anything to back up your claims about detailed Roman execution records or a lot of letters being written by Jews?

Now, about the Josephus stuff-

http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/scott_oser/hojfaq.html

[...]

[...]There was a roman general called Flavius Josephus(born 37 AD; died ca 100 AD). He fought in the roman-jewish war.
In his history about the jewish people (the antiquitates) he wrote at XVIII; ll 63 about a man in the district of Pontius Pilatus(because the chapter is about Pontius Pilatus) who had done mysterical things, has lots of followers, was executed and there were people who still admires him

Oh, I am disappointed.

That is what is in the Wikipedia article. (Don’t use the German version, it is very short and contains no detail)

In the hope of bringing more souls to Jesus, this writing is not much use. All atheists say that it is a forgery and that Josephus never wrote such a thing. This leaves us Christians looking like fools for relying on a book other than the Bible.

I was hoping that you had some writings that really spoke of Jesus. I have always been disappointed that there seemed to be no one around at the time who was recording Jesus’s miracles, Resurrection, etc.

You would have thought that God’s Son would have left a little more behind, wouldn’t you? But this is consistent with everything Jesus said – it is more important to have Faith than proof of every little detail.

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

I was thinking about this today. According to the Darwinists, we came from monkeys. Monkeys have tails. So if why came from monkeys, why don't we have tails? WHERE IS MY TAIL, EVILUTIONISTS?!? I don't have one! 100% PROOF that EVILUTION IS A LIE!!!

I just wanted to say that for a woman you have a very good head for science and a very logical mind.

Thank you! I'll be sure to pass on your compliment to Mr. Whitford, who guides me through life with a strong and sturdy hand.

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

----long, dull piece of nonsense----

What are you talking about, you dumb girl? Again you post a message that is way too long and stupid to read, referencing several atheist books, but not God's Writing(tm), the Bible! Why do you think the Romans knew better what happened than God? God is omniscient, the Romans are not, and neither are you. If God says in the Bible that Jesus was crucified by the Romans, he was crucified by the Romans, even if these pagans themselves denied this crime.
If you want to escape an eternity of being raped continuously by demons, you might do well to think a moment about your Salvation(tm)!

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

Hi, I just wanted to say you can clearly still see the remainings of a tail in human anatomy. It is called a tailbone.

In embryonal stage, we still have a tail:

The human embry also has gills in very early stages. But that quickly changes to a hearing system.

Basicly, you can see evolution if you study embryos.


This is an interesting picture as it compares embryos from different species:

Oh yes, here you can see how all embryos look alike at the first stage, but then each specie undergoes different changes.

Bla bla bla and in the meatime you allow unborn children to be killed. MURDERER!

Denying facts?
BTW, I didn't allow anything.
And you don't know they were killed. You can study them when they died natural.

There isn't anything wrong studying and gaining knowledge from that.
At least it is one of the best proofs of evolution.

Why do you think it is called evolution theory? If you want facts just consult God's Holy Bible!

Yes. Next question.

Re: If we came from monkeys, why don't we have tails?

Sister Mary Maria: Why the specific point of tails? Why not point out that humans do not have hair all over, or round monkey-like ears? My point is that the theory of evolution states that humans grew out of their tails, so to speak. If you observe the skeletal composition of a monkey, it is strikingly similar to a human's, with the spine extending further down to form a tail. I propose that you research further into the subject you are attempting to discredit before you do so.

Pastor Ezekiel: I wondered that same thing at one point, too. However, I did a bit of research and quickly discovered the apparent answer. Perhaps you should do the same. In short, it is because the Earth, at one point, was one large mass of land. As this land split, the creatures evolved differently according to their independent needs based on geographical location, etc. It is more complicated than that, but you can look it up if you are really interested in expanding your thinking.

Pastor Isaac Peters: That is because the circumstances producing the alleged "Big Bang" were rare, and extremely complex. However, that aside, how do you know this is not happening on a daily basis? The universe is infinite, as far as anyone can tell. With your religion so highly relying on faith in the unknown and belief in the unseen, wouldn't this theory also be credible?

James Dewitt: Please tell me you are joking. I am a teenager, and even I am not that ignorant.

GOD=Life: I'm not even Muslim, but that offended me. Your religion is set apart from many other religions because of its emphasis on Love. If you continue to portray hate and discrimination such as that, then even more people will begin to deny your religion.

And to the Admins: This post is not to start an argument, nor is it intended to upset or discredit the other viewpoints here. It is simply to present an idea and give these gentlemen an opportunity to expand their thinking. As a teenager, you can be assured that I am capable of the utmost ignorance and neglect for other's views and opinions. However, I have tried my hardest to present mine, and interpret theirs, with the highest respect. I only hope you show me the same.

Tails aren't like shoes. Anyway, I didn't have a tail when I was a kid.

If you observe the skeletal composition of a monkey, it is strikingly similar to a human's, with the spine extending further down to form a tail.

But that was really Sister Mary Maria's point. We don't have a tail, monkeys do.

In short, it is because the Earth, at one point, was one large mass of land. As this land split, the creatures evolved differently according to their independent needs based on geographical location, etc.

Could you please quote either an eye witness or a Scriptural Passage supporting this preposterous idea?

With your religion so highly relying on faith in the unknown and belief in the unseen, wouldn't this theory also be credible?

Unknown? Unseen? There is nothing in our faith which isn't straight from the Bible, which clearly can be seen, as it is a book made of paper, and its contents have been known for many centuries.

Please tell me you are joking. I am a teenager, and even I am not that ignorant.

What are you talking about, silly boy? Does your father know what you're doing here?

If you continue to portray hate and discrimination such as that, then even more people will begin to deny your religion.

Brother God=Life just stated a well-known fact about the Islamic culture, and combined it with the ridiculous Big Bang Theory. What's wrong with that?

As a teenager, you can be assured that I am capable of the utmost ignorance and neglect for other's views and opinions.

The only thing which surprises me is the honesty with which you admit this. I hope you'll take my reply seriously, boy.
