Big Questions
Dear non-Creationists: How did everything in the world come from NOTHING?
How did no life become sentient humans?
How do you date things millions of years old when carbon-14 dating only works on (dead) things 50-60,000 years old?
And don't give me any bull about other isotopes with silly half-lives. . . do you REALLY expect me to believe the following can legitimately be calculated?!
"Potassium-40 is another radioactive element naturally found in your body and has a half-life of 1.3 billion years. Other useful radioisotopes for radioactive dating include Uranium -235 (half-life = 704 million years), Uranium -238 (half-life = 4.5 billion years), Thorium-232 (half-life = 14 billion years) and Rubidium-87 (half-life = 49 billion years)."

Unless of course you're already under the assumption that the human mind can indeed know absolutely EVERYTHING about everything in the universe. In which case you got no right telling ME i believe in fairy tales.

Tolerance on both sides...
Some people in the USA have great ideas and really understand tolerance as it should apply to all sides...
I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built at Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.
That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot." Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs."
Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods. Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered." All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved. If you agree with promoting tolerance, and you think this is a good plan, please pass it on. Maybe people will listen!

Demanding the Media tell the truth about George Soros
For years left-wing billionaire George Soros has been
using his money to wage a war to weaken and ultimately
destroy the U.S. - and the liberal media are eagerly
helping him achieve his goal!
Recently, he held two conferences to begin
forming a new world order -- one that undermines U.S.
sovereignty, and further jeopardizes our nation's well-being.
Among the more than 350 left-wing attendees (most with
close ties to Soros) were key members from the left-wing,
liberal press including the president of PBS, Al Jazeera
English and the senior vice president with American public media.
Soros' anti-American agenda is no secret, yet the liberal
media have no intention of reporting about the conference or
its true intent!
That's why I've added my name to the Media
Research Center's national petition demanding the media tell
the truth about George Soros, and his plan for America and
I'm encouraging you to do the same thing by clicking here:
http://www.mrcaction.org/572/petition.asp?PID=31342862&NID=1
As freedom-loving Americans, we can't allow the media to
gloss over and ignore these kinds of threats. That's why it
is imperative that we take a stand and hold the media accountable!

Fw: Thank you for registering your Magellan product!
You may already be aware of this, but in case you're not. . .Magellan sucks! The GPS maker, not the dead explorer whose name they disgrace and dishonor. Not only do you NOT get a free map update - which anyone surely wants on a unit that may have been sitting on shelves for a year or more - their website lists the Spring 2010 map update as the latest one available!!!
To further the insult, I found a dead link (without looking very hard). I guess either of the following is no big deal taken on it's own, but together amounts to a legitimate gripe: they fail to include in the box a USB cable as well as a disc with any software or digital version of the manual!
Fortunately, this crappy product (model 1424, Roadmate I think) was a door prize so not a cent was wasted on it. I've had nothing but joy with my Garmin 1300, btw. The prices just keep dropping, so if you've been contemplating it, go online and find a deal on one!

The most encouraging and uplifting news i've ever seen/heard in an audio-visual medium
http://www.godvine.com/Christian-Veterans-Protect-the-Funeral-of-a-Fallen-Soldier-278.html
It's downright disgusting that this ever became necessary, and given the recent Supreme Court ruling,
I've found myself wishing that we could impeach those who voted in favor of what is clearly hate speech,
and deserves NO protection whatsoever. The Westboro "Baptist Church" is as great a scar on Christianity
today as the Spanish Inquisition was in its day -- although obviously much less widespread and fatal.

Packers following Jesus
SUPER BOWL: Aaron Rodgers, other Packers, looking to 'follow Jesus' example'
By Art Stricklin
Feb 2, 2011
ARLINGTON, Texas (BP)--NFL experts and newspaper headline writers have been quick to label Green Bay starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers the "Leader of the Pack."
Something about 4,712 yards passing and 34 touchdowns, and leading the Packers to the verge of their first Super Bowl title in more than a decade will do that for you.
But Rodgers made it clear in Tuesday's jam-packed Super Bowl XLV Media Day he only wants to be a leader of God's pack when it comes to influencing others to see his faith in Jesus Christ.
"We all have a platform, we all have a message in our lives," Rodgers told Baptist Press and a worldwide media turnout, which ringed his individual interview area. "I just try to follow Jesus' example, leading by example."
During his six years with the Packers, his career has seen enough twists and turns, dead ends and detours to test anyone's faith. An expected top 10 draft choice, he lasted until the end of the first round for reasons he never understood. He stood on the sidelines for three seasons while Packers quarterback Brett Favre went through his yearly will-he-or-won't-he retirement routine as Packers QB.
Finally given a chance to start three years ago, he has matured into one of the top quarterbacks in the league, but not forgetting his past, present and future in Christ.
"God always has a plan for us, a path. Sometimes we wish we knew it sooner," Rodgers said with a bit of a laugh, "but He always shows up His way."
He credits his parents, Ed and Darla Rodgers, who still live in Northern California where he was raised, for showing him a loving and Christ-centered household. He also remains close to his two longtime accountability partners, Pastors Andrew Burchett of the Neighborhood Church in Chico, Calif., and Young Life Christian youth group leader Matt Hock.
Even in the midst of the craziness of Super Bowl week and Tuesday's Media Day at Cowboys Stadium, Rodgers had already checked in with his accountability team.
"They won't be here Sunday, but they've been calling and texting me," he said. "Matt sent me a photo of his entire Young Life group decked out in Packers gear."
Rodgers' quiet and humble testimony has been enough to inspire Christian NFL fans everywhere and his own teammates as well.
Rookie defensive end C.J. Wilson, whose father is a Pentecostal minister in Mt. Olive, N.C., said he really didn't know what to expect when he showed up for his first NFL season this year. But when he saw the experience of his star quarterback and his witness, Wilson felt encouraged with his own professional football faith.
"I think it does help when your superstar quarterback is walking with God. I've been blessed to be around him and see how God makes all things possible in our lives," Wilson said.
Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings is one of Rodgers' receivers and teammates on the field, but more importantly, a spiritual brother on and off the field. He said he's determined to let Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers be his platform for God.
"I just want to let people know what it's all about. One of the Scriptures I refer to a lot is, 'to whom much is given, much is required,' and I'm required to have a voice [for God] because I have a stage and a platform," Jennings said.
"Number one, all glory goes to God. That's where it starts and that's where it finishes."
His father, Greg, Sr., is the pastor of Progressive Deliverance Ministries in Kalamazoo, Mich.
Packers defensive tackle Ryan Pickett has been inspired to join an anti-pornography campaign in the NFL this year to help rid the destructive influence among his friends and teammates. He said he had to turn down the invitations of his teammates this week and other times who wanted him to go places he knew was not right.
"I value my family and my wife. I try to stay away from that," Pickett said.
Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby doesn't have to be reminded about the number of Super Bowl games which have come down to a final touchdown or field goal, including the last Super Bowl held in Texas when the New England Patriots won on a last-second kick in Houston.
But he said his faith in Christ won't allow him to be defined by a single kick.
"I think He helps me knowing that kicking is what I do, not who I am. It's not everything that I am. I can escape knowing that my relationship with Christ is what carries me."
Crosby has also noticed his quarterback's faith and his example to his teammates and the sports world.
"Aaron has a great relationship with the Lord," Crosby said. "He's the face of the franchise and it helps to see he's living the message all of the time.
"I'm always reading in the Proverbs and Psalms to relax my mind before we play," Crosby added. "I know that God cares for me all the time regardless of any outcome here."
