Go back and read my previous post–carefully. Then, think.

As I said, I’m not going to do your homework for you. If you want to learn, the first step is to question your own assumptions and conclusions. This requires an unsparing critique of ideas that you have adopted. Such a critique is not had by going to sources that agree with you and getting more ammo for your arguments; just the opposite. Go study evolution as scientists teach it (NOT creation scientists or I.D. scientists, but your average evolutionary scientist). I mean really study it–no cliff notes; no evolution for dummies. Then come back and discuss these matters intelligently.

If you’re sure you have the truth, then such an inquiry poses no threat to your beliefs; in fact, it should only confirm your beliefs and provide you with more evidence by which to defeat the atheists.

Are you brave enough for this challenge? It takes spunk to do it–do you have what it takes? We’ll see.

“Are you saying that evolution is 100% provable?”

Yes. To everyone with an open mind.

Are you saying that evolution is 100% provable? You say that I am just like every other apologetic Christian out there, but I want to know where the 100% undeniable proof for Evolution is? If you cannot prove it, than like I said, you are walking in faith with Evolution as I am walking in faith with Jesus.

Let me also add, that I never once stated that I could prove that the Bible was 100% proven, but I was merely making the point that it’s followers believe in it through faith just as people believe in Evolution.

Thank you for calling me and the rest “revolting”. Were you there? I’m not defending the “cancer” lady, as I said before she was just one person. I have met plenty of “revolting” Christians in my life. There are good and bad people in any demographic.

At least for us Christians, we have hope, a hope that the atheists may never have unless they come to Jesus.

Oh good god! I feel really sorry for Hemant. These last few threads concerning this issue are shameful and arrogant, IMHO. I seriously doubt any of this behaviour is going to win Hemant over to Christianity. Look over other religious text, dear. The Muslims belive Christians are infidels and are going to hell because they are not Islamic. *rolling eyes* The Christians believe everyone who is not Christian is going to hell. I bet if you looked into other “holy” texts you will find similar thoughts. Christianity is not the one and only path in life, nor is it necessarily the right path, but behaviours displayed here on Hemant’s blog only serve to turn people off religion.

We have hope too. Hope that we can help to make life better for others before we die. I hope, before I die, people realize what they do with their religious beliefs are actually harmful to others.

One problem was that the debate was too short. I know there was one time when Mr. Comfort was going to make a point about the fallibility of radioactive dating. But the mediator/supervisor of the debate proceeded to another question before Comfort could make a argument.

In response to Mr. Domomojo, the atheists in the audience were very revolting, and very impatient, especially the “cancer” woman who insisted upon Comfort saying “cancer” rather than “suffering.” Cancer is suffering.

The female debater was very sarcastic, and the male debater would shake his head and get all flustered whenever Comfort made a good point. But you’ll notice, Comfort and Cameron were very relaxed and tolerant, and accepted their sardonic remarks civilly.

I think, and I’m sure Comfort would agree, that the atheists and Christians could have argued until they were blue in the face. It wouldn’t matter. People are still going to believe what they want to believe.

At least for us Christians, we have hope, a hope that the atheists may never have unless they come to Jesus.

Clerics remind me of show hosts trying to keep their audience entertained while the guest of honor fails to show up. He’s thousands of years late and folks are getting up to leave. This is why religious founders defined believing as the primary virtue, far more important than good behavior or good works. It keeps the flock coming back and staring at the statue that never moves. The more difficult it is to believe in something that perpetually eludes verification, the greater the “virtue” of their faith.

Marvelous, Richard.

Sheff, you ought to pay more attention to atheist blogs because your arguments are some of the most commonplace fallacies among Christian apologists and the most widely and easily debunked by atheists. I won’t do your homework for you.

I was in the audience during the taping. I have no idea what Comfort is talking about with his claim of “angry atheist audience members.” He’s just pissed we clapped whenever Brian or Kelly made a good point. The only time we yelled was when Cameron started listing scientists who believed in God (specifically implying YAHWEH), and started with Einstein. Many of us shouted NO! By that point we were tired of all the lies Cameron and Comfort were making.

I was extremely frustrating to hear the list of straw men they trotted out regarding evolution. They are breaking their own commandment by bearing false witness! I am fed up with these hypocrites. Brian and Kelly might not have made a perfect presentation but at least they didn’t LIE!

And as for the one angry atheist lady, she was just one person out of 50. They cut out a lot of the bull crap Ray was saying which caused a lot of frustration. Keep in mind it was over 90 minutes long! Ray flat out lies, there was no “mockery” from the audience! He has a persecution complex.
