NOAH's FLOOD A MYTH?

[romano2717]

no, Darwin didn't get it wrong. in fact, it is clearly stated in that article you gave that there are evidences that point towards Evolution. so i don't know what's your point of posting a link to that article.

he is talking about numbers.
"Gallup interviewers posed exactly the same choices in 1982, 1993, 1997, and 1999. The creationist conviction—that God alone, and not evolution, produced humans—has never drawn less than 44 percent. In other words, nearly half the American populace prefers to believe that Charles Darwin was wrong where it mattered most."

the fact stays. Darwin never got it wrong at all. America is dumb.

unfortunately, employing FAITH in the equation. certainly, does not compute.

That is a little unfair. And were are you living actually? That may be the reason that America is still a blessed country. While the whole world is turning it's back on the Bible, America still chooses to believe and follow that Bible. The 5% of the World's population refusing to give in to the other 95% of those who are choosing to ignore God and Christ teachings. America will be 234 years old next birthday and has accomplish the most amazing things for such a young country. Last I checked with the Media, more that 1/4 people in the world polled would still rather live in America than in their own countries. It opened doors to your family and allows you more freedoms, rights to free speech, freedoms from religious persecution, and access to diverse information than most families original country gives them. That is because the country was structured on religious beliefs. And for that you call them dumb because they believe in God and Christ.

Yes you are correct Americans are dumb. I am dumb because I believe in God and Christ, and most America are dumb choosing to believe in God and Christ. As long as they choose to stay dumb and believe in God and Christ, America will still remain a strong blessed country. If America (ranked #1) chooses to follow Catholics and none believers like you, then America will lose the blessings and start spiraling downward towards the class of 3rd world country. Yes it could even pass the Philippines (ranked #47) and would deserve to do so for turning it's back on God. But if America looses it's blessing and tumbles, what will happen to the Philippines?

Will China (#2 military), Indonesia (#14 military),or Singapore (#16 military) invade and take the Philippines? Who will be able to help protect the Philippines (#31 military) from China, Indonesia, or Singapore. Will the Philippines be Muslim or Communist next?

It show that Darwinism can be applied in the schools, shown on TV and media for over 20 years, and American still choose to believe in Christ, most Americans are Christians not Catholics. That is why America is a blessed Country and one of the top Countries in almost every categories. We are the center of science, medicine, art, and music. We have freedom of speech and press, and the finest media outlets in the world.

Everyone is exposed to Darwinian, Evolutionism, Atheistic, and New Age religious views as few societies can comprehend. But Americans read the Bible for themselves and choose tp follow the teachings of Christ. We choose to follow our own path, and not that which is being shoved down our throats. Most of the world can not understand why Americans are the way were are, and we can not understand how you could not be like us. The truth is we follow Christ before, religious agenda, government interference, and godless world influences. We respect Jesus and do not respect anything else, and certainly do not trust the ways of the world. We are the only country that does and our country is blessed as no other country has been blessed. We understand that as a fact, whether you do or not. Americans choose Christ, simple and we are one of the if not the most powerful countries and economies in the world. You do not and were does your culture stand in the world standings?

err, james....USA is not BORN AGAIN country.
statistics james, back it up with figures if you may. last time i checked, its on the 50-50. due to the influx of immigrants from a VARIETY of flavors.
USA economic stature got nothing to do with jesus, james.....

oh, my bad....unless it has everything to do with JC being a JEW.

and FYI, Philippines is chris-centered allegedly...how come this country is way on the opposite side of the scale in terms with ECONOMICS.

and please, you being american does not reciprocate all americans think and do like you do. so please...speak for yourself.

and by FAITH as you've quoted me. certainly means Sasquatch in that equation.
hoping and dreaming for something to be REAL or not REAL. doesnt serve much of an evidence nor proof.

I never stated that America was a "Born Again" country. I did state that it was a Country that believed in God and Christ. Which is a fact.

You need to check again.
Religions in America
Christianity: (78.4%)
Protestantism: (51.3%)
Roman Catholicism: (23.9%) (true immigration for Mexico has greatly increased the Catholic membership)
Religion in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

oh, my bad....unless it has everything to do with JC being a JEW.
Yes Jesus was Hebrew, and you point is?

and FYI, Philippines is chris-centered allegedly...how come this country is way on the opposite side of the scale in terms with ECONOMICS.
That is a good question why does the Philippines suffer from mismanagement, corruption, high unemployment, deteriorating infrastructure. Is it Morality, cultural, inherent DNA, being punished by God, or some other reason? the country is 92% Christians.

That is the question I see Filipinos seem to want to avoid and I do not understand how you choose to just ignore the subject as if that actually helps, instead of tackling the problem head-on and confronting it..

The religious percentage of Christians is actually higher in the Philippines, but the way the culture believes that Christianity does have differences.
Christian: 92.5%Roman Catholic: 80.9%

and please, you being american does not reciprocate all americans think and do like you do. so please...speak for yourself.
I do speak for myself as an American who was born in America, lived in America, schooled in America, Served with other American Marines, worked in America, raised my family in America. I have American family, friends, and associates who are Americans. I think I may have just a little first hand knowledge and can talk about what is is like living in American. But statistics and facts bare out my words as truths not fabrications.

and by FAITH as you've quoted me. certainly means Sasquatch in that equation.
hoping and dreaming for something to be REAL or not REAL. doesnt serve much of an evidence nor proof.

No other country religious structure is like that of the United Sates, or country was founded around religious freedoms. Sorry if you choose to disbelieve are can not believe, or do not understand the role of religion in the American culture. What you choose to believe does not change the truth and the facts. Your statement show how little you understand American society and the structures and beliefs systems of American churches.

Maybe your math is just tainted by biases, or is just wrong.

I can only answer the questions about America. See Filipinos can say anything negative about the US and I will only try to correct improper facts or try to explain where you are wrong, and you are not being predigest.

I can not and will not comment on questions about bad things about the Philippines or the culture. I am smart enough to avoid that mine field. Americans can not comment even on basic facts about the Philippines without everyone getting their noses bent and their feelings hurt, screaming how I am being predigest, and why do I not go home and how dare I say what are even personal observations of obvious things I see everyday. I am not suppose to see what I see, and should have no opinion on the subject.

And maybe that is the answer to you question, how can you change you refuse to accept. That does seem cultural, because other Asian countries have past you because they were will to confront, accept, and change that which held them back. That is called wisdom.

i live in the Metro DC/Maryland area. went to school here, live and work, and proud to be a citizen of this country. to say "America is dumb" is a cliche. my American friends would laugh at it. you're taking things too seriously. and yes, i know America is ranked no.1---even my little brother knows it. lol

.....and of course

If America (ranked #1) chooses to follow Catholics and none believers like you, then America will lose the blessings and start spiraling downward towards the class of 3rd world country.

you don't actually know this.

that's pure assumption James. that's dangerous. you seem to think the world is a whole lot worse without religion? where were you hiding all these years? war in Iraq? 9/11? Afghanistan? ring a bell James?

hahaha... you're funny James. i was actually laughing while reading this post of yours... literally. so are you trying to say that America is what it is now because its citizens are God-fearing people? you are trying to inject FAITH in the equation James. you do not need faith to prosper economically. look at the middle eastern countries. heck, look at IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN---those countries are built on hard, unshakable religious standards. well look at them now. they are a country torn apart, because of what? because of RELIGION---what else could it be?

do not correlate faith and religion and make it look like we need RELIGION to prosper. PASTORS and CHURCHES do not run countries---heck churches are even TAX FREE. businesses and other sectors run our economy. ever heard of separation of church and state? faith and religion are not variables for economic strength. USA is number 1 because it is number 1---not because its people are God-fearing, reads the Bible, so that pretty much blesses the country? that's BS James.
