herme3

In that case, why is there only one person that I ever wanted to go on a date with?

Well, I guess if you find the girl who you know is "The One" you could just keep trying until you find the right time.

No, I wasn't trying to make girls seems like cuddle dolls. I was trying to point out how a girl usually cares about the guy's feelings. A girl is usually worried about hurting the guy's feelings, but the guy would do or say something stupid without even thinking about her feelings. I wasn't trying to say that girls are extra sensitive, but I'm saying that many guys are insensitive.

On April 22nd and 23rd there will be a TV program called "Melting Point" on CNN. It will be on 7:00pm Eastern Time. The program will be about global warming. I think anyone who doesn't understand the problems of global warming should watch this. For more information, visit: http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/presents/index.melting.point.html

The point that evolutionists can't get in their brains is that the concept of humans evolving from apes strongly contradicts Genesis, the first chapter of The Bible. If you follow a religion, you just can't throw out parts of your religion and replace them with contradicting beliefs. If you do, you are creating your own religion instead of practicing the existing religion. For a possible explanation, go here: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c005.html Also, read this: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c012.html I'm not an expert of creationism or evolution. I've never even read the whole Bible, so I don't have enough knowledge to lead this debate myself. If you really want scientific evidence against evolution and supporting creationism check out these links: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/origin-of-life.html http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-c004.html http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c038.html

Well, I asked if she wanted to go see a movie a long time ago, and she said she would e-mail me if she did. I never got an e-mail. Then later, I even asked if she wanted to go out on a date. She said, "no". We are still good friends, but only in school. I guess nobody wants to know me out in the real world. I never usually talk to anyone else. I usually just keep quiet and stay out of other people's conversations. I said something on the bus the other day, and someone said it was only the 2nd time he ever heard my voice in the four years that he knew me.

Actually, I did ask someone out on a date a few months ago. She said "no" so I don't think I'll ask anyone else again. She seemed like the perfect person, so I guess it's just me. Maybe some people are just meant to be alone.

What if you've only liked one girl in your whole life? It just doesn't sound right to ask another girl out on a date. You will be lying to yourself and the other girl. Also, the girl that you do like won't believe you if you tell her she is the only girl you've ever wanted to date. She will remember that you dated that other girl.

No... Everyone would be much happier if they just take my advice: http://lost2destiny.homestead.com/advice.html If everyone had your point of view, all the girls would get their hearts broken and they would all be depressed. Poor girls... Why don't you start thinking about their feelings?

You are sounding just like a broken record. Show me something that can be proven incorrect in The Bible that isn't just a result of modern translation issues. You claim to have all this great evidence somewhere. Why don't you start listing some of it? I'm sure the evolutionist scientists who have been trying to make this into a scientific law for years would be very interested in reading it. If they could find any solid evidence that can't be debated, evolution wouldn't be a theory anymore. I'm not ignoring anything. I've replied to everything you've posted.

Yourdadonapogos, We keep going through the same thing over and over again. Every time we both post in an evolution or creationist thread, the whole thread turns into a debate between the two of us. There's no sense in us continuing to debate this because there is no way either one of us could win. We are both trying to push beliefs that don't have solid scientific evidence. I'm trying to keep an open mind by saying that both The Bible and evolution need to be fully scientifically tested before one of them can be truly proven scientifically. However, you just seem so convinced that evolution is a fact, and the stories in The Bible are false. The article about Genesis proves nothing because it takes multiple theories as facts. Before you can use that article to say Genesis is incorrect, you will need to prove that the Big Bang and evolution both happened exactly how some scientists think they did. You can't do this, that's why they are called "theories". You don't seem to understand that The Bible was the widely accepted belief before evolution. I'm sure the writers of The Bible would have been happy to give you all the evidence you want, but they are dead. Modern creationists believe The Bible because we have no reason to believe the writers would just lie about everything. Like it or not, The Bible is widely accepted outside of this forum. Before anyone can give us new beliefs, we are going to need to know why we can't believe what our ancestors have told us.

No... I never said the oldest text is correct. I said that if the people who wrote old texts claimed that they witnessed something really happen, we have no reason to deny it until we disprove it scientifically. For example, "The world is flat" has already been disproved, so we have no reason to believe it anymore. However, The Bible has not yet been disproved. Scientists have just managed to create new beliefs without providing any evidence against the existing beliefs. Much of the evidence for evolution can be debated. There is no way you can absolutely prove that humans evolved from apes. The evidence for creationism can also be debated, but you can find it in The Bible. Scientists need to look at both sides to compare the evidence. The evidence in The Bible won't be proven unless scientists decide to stop ignoring it. Why would the burden of proof be on the creationists? The writers of The Bible claimed that they witnessed certain events happen. These beliefs were widely accepted long before the theory of evolution. Many scientists decide to claim that the writers of The Bible were simply lying, yet they have no way to prove they were lying. How can anyone come up with new beliefs without scientifically disproving the existing ones? Yes, but it depends on which translation you read. The problem is that it has been translated so many times from the original version. I know it has been written in Hebrew, Latin, Old English, and Modern English. It has probably been translated more times than that. Try finding an online translator web site. Translate a complete sentence from English into Spanish. Now copy that, and translate it back into English. Some of the details in the sentence will probably change, but you should still be able to figure out the meaning behind the sentence.

While you never used the word "atheism" you clearly objected to the possibility that God created the Earth. Your beliefs seem to be the same as those of an atheist. Science itself is not against creationism. Creationism itself is not against science or facts. Creationism is against people who claim they are practicing "science" by claiming that debatable evidence is proof of an unproven theory. The problem is that people are so busy looking for facts that are against creationism, that they don't look for facts that support creationism. The Bible can be used as evidence because it contains stories that our ancestors said they experienced. They said they had the evidence, so they wrote it down in a book. Isn't that exactly what modern scientists do with their evidence? Just because The Bible is old doesn't mean it can't be true. The problem is that some scientists want to take something that is widely accepted and just say, "This has to be wrong, we need to find another answer." A good scientist should say, "Let's investigate the information that is listed in this book and try to prove or disprove them scientifically."

When I play SimCity, I'm always clicking on that "disaster" button. It makes it more interesting! Of course, if I thought the sims actually had feelings, I would feel very differently. What do you mean? It did "live" until it died.

I was able to signup for http://www.freehostia.com and they have been working great so far.

You are making a fool of yourself. I just made a post about how Atheists and Christians both have their own beliefs, and they are welcomed to talk about them if they present them as beliefs. I never put Christians above Atheists in my post, but you are clearly putting Atheists above Christians. You are trying to make me look like a fundamentalist Christian when I was explaining how neither side has proof that can't be debated. You, however, are clearly being a fundamentalist Atheist. You are a stereotypical Atheist with no understanding of Creationism...

I don't think that gravity is fully understood either. Yes, we all should know that gravity keeps us from floating off into space. But, can you explain how? Gravity is a force from all matter in the universe attracting each other, but why does matter behave this way? I haven't heard a full explanation, so it only makes sense that gravity remains a theory. What did you see? Did you see the world's first unicellular organism and watch its descendants evolve into humans? I don't think so. Scientists have watched short-term evolution occur among species. That doesn't mean God didn't create the common ancestors of these species.

Why don't you try to find that special person that you want to spend the rest of your life with? Have relationship the right way. Become close friends, go on a date, get married, live happy lives, and then get buried next to each other in the cemetery.

No way! I'm not using a dating service. Just read through this thread, and you will see why.

I meant that I only have one good friend that I know I can trust. There are other people that I sometimes talk to. I don't think I have any socializing problems. I don't think I've ever gone to a party. I did go to a dance one time, but I didn't dance with anyone. I sat in the corner eating Cheetos until I finally called my Mom and told her to take me home. I never went to a dance again. Thanks Sayo, but I think every thread becomes a "let's bash Herme3" thread.

I still think I gave some good advice in this thread. People should start calling me "Captain Love" or something...

I am a Christian, but I believe in evolution in my own ways. The "Theory of Evolution" is exactly what the name says, just a theory. Scientists who believe in this theory are welcomed to explain the theory and why they believe it, but they need to be careful to present it as a theory. Don't present it as a fact unless you have just discovered solid proof that can't be debated. The same rule should apply to Christians. They should be able to present their religion here without getting flamed, but they should be careful present it as a belief. People are talking about fundamental Christians being bad, but I once had a teacher in a public school who acted like an Atheist preacher. He was a nice teacher, but it got very annoying when he started preaching to the class. As far as evolution is concerned, I believe that natural selection can cause genetic mutations in the DNA between generations. There just seems to be too much evidence to deny this. My personal belief is that God created a certain number of species. After that, I believe the species evolved into what they are today.

Well, this is just Spring break. I'll be back in school in a few days. I have a friend at school who I talk to. There are also a few other people who I occasionally talk to.

What's this? Work... Relationships... Man, you must be having a blast! I haven't worked at a job for over a year. And I've never been in a relationship in my whole life. Let's see... The last time I talked to anyone except my parents was over a week ago. I've been locked in my bedroom for quite a while. I stepped outside two days ago, but only for a few minutes. I've been spending about 15 hours a day using my computer. I've spent the rest of the time either eating or sleeping. And you think that life out in the world is boring?
