A cautious welcome, to you.

And Darwin did not believe in spontaneous generation.

I'm not aware of what Darwin claimed for the origins of life--that's why I referred to two things: evolution and spontaneous generation. However, most of those who subscribe to entirely random selection for the differentiation of species are left with little more than spontaneous generation for the origin of life.

Hello Alma, and a cautious welcome to you! Such a pretty name - one of the cleaning ladies in our church (by which I mean my temporary church here in England, not Landover Baptist Church) is called Alma.

I am curious about your username, encompassing as it does both banks of the Livenza (though I suppose at least it excludes the Godless ex-Jugoslav lands of Trieste). Do tell us how you came to choose it. My husband's late step-grandmother spent a considerable number of years in Friuli, where she attempted (totally without success) to witness to the Mormon boys - always so smartly dressed, with their white shirts and well-pressed trousers, as they bicycled around Gorizia, avoiding eye-contact.

The handle was a result of frustration about 25 years ago, when I was trying to find a user name for yahoo. I tried all kinds of names that were either too short or already taken. Finally in desperation, I grabbed a compound name from Italian and it worked. I suspect those boys avoiding eye contact were doing so on bicycles trying not to become road kill from a frenetic Italian traffic model.


The name Alma comes from the Book of Mormon. Although most people named Alma are females (due to the Latin word meaning "soul,") if you find a guy named Alma, he's most likely a Mormon--or an ancient resident of Palestine (see documents from the Bar Kochba Cave).

Re: Howdy from a noobie

Good morning pilgrims. I was interested to see what was being said on the web today about Mormons and did a google search for the last 24 hours. I came across a thread alleging problems with the Book of Mormon and I thought I'd like to join the discussion. It took a while to get registered though and if allowed to participate, I'd like to. I believe in being ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh--woman too.

I'm a grandpa, not yet retired, and love the Bible--but I can't decide which version I prefer.


I am a devout Mormon and have taught LDS theology for about 25 years in a college setting (LDS Institute of Religion). I have participated on web sites such as this before; but I'm inconsistent. Right now we're in a break between semesters so I have more time than when classes are in session. I love to read, and just finished a fascinating book that I believe is devastating to the theory of spontaneous generation of life and Darwinian evolution titled, "Signature in the Cell" by Stephen Meyer. I suspect the next book I read will be by the same author and titled "Darwin's Doubt."

A cautious welcome, to you.

With a few Words of Christ I can demolish mormonism for you.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

And Darwin did not believe in spontaneous generation. He believed in evolution. The two are only similar in being a viscous attack on Jesus.
