    I am not posting an opinion....I am posting scientific realities.

    YOU on the other hand are posting about STORIES AND BELIEFS.

    They cannot be proven to be real either scientifically or historically.

    I heard that----but was "Creator" mentioned? I could have sworn I saw a trailer with that referance. I hope to see it soon...I don't mind "creative license" if its not a retelling. The environmental slant might be a turn off though----quite a stretch. But we will see.

    When you have incontrovertible proof that a fish walked out of the water and became man, let me know.

    Now get back to my indisputable thread topic.

    No, its not proven. Its "surmising". And the 95% Christians believing it....is certainly not a valid number. About 50% of the US alone doesn't.

    I vacillated??? Really??? How so??? Do you lack reading comprehension skills?

    Gravity is both a fact and a Theory...Did you know that?...or am I "vacillating" there also?

    All sects of Christianity barring Evangelical Baptists understand Evolution to be a FACT.

    You have no argument that can dismiss this fact and you are obviously uneducated to a great degree.

    You cannot possibly be this uninformed and uneducated can you?

    YES...we have definitive fossil records as well as Genome Mapping that PROVES fish eventually evolved and walked out of the sea and even today Lung Fish and such fish as the Snake Head have both Gills and Lungs as well as FEET.

    No I am. Im also a fan of humor. Im hilarious as I just illustrated. You see its funny because liberals think the sky is falling and if we don't stop driving our cars there will be a great flood just like that of Noah. Only in todays time its called NOAAs great flood. Get it? More witticism.

    So you DO just want people who agree with you to respond......well, that would so much easier for you, you wouldn't have to defend anything .


    Can you answer my statement about how christians are always so quick to scream "anger"...is that their only emotion?? The ony one they understand?

    Hollywood always looking to exploit a new market realized shortly after the success of the movie Blind Side that there was in fact MONEY to be made making Judeo-Christian specific movies.

    Now as in all things where money can be made there will always be accountants tallying up the take.

    If I brought in all the invidious adjectives from your other posts too, along with the rhetorical "questions" and the false witnessing, tele-psychoanalysis it would make quite a list.

    I looks a bit as if you are hoping / trying to get the "godless" to act in a way that
    confirms your beliefs, and if they dont, you just say they are anyway. You reap what you sow, eventually.

    You are being intensely disagreeable. Should you, as a "Christian" demonstrate what the fruits of the spirit are about?

    By this point in the thread you certainly are doing anything but inviting a calm reasoned discussion, which is why a person might well question your motives here.

    By your works we shall know you.

    I watched the Wolf of Wall Street yesterday and that was a pretty good movie.

    In the past I always got a kick how in the movies Jesus would be extremely white skinned and have blue eyes and light brown blonde hair!! LOL!!!

    Jesus was most likely very dark skinned and would NOT have had blue eyes.

    The new Marvel Captain America movie is supposed to be good and I saw a video of people in Beijing absolutely FREAKING OUT and they were screaming like it was the Beetles as Scarlet Johansen , Captain America and Samuel L. Jackson were on a stage outside promoting the movie.

    Evidently Chinese Officials under estimated the draw and appeal of Captain America as thousands of Chinese fans showed up.

    Hollywood views Biblical stories the same as a comic book superhero, a good script. Add some special effects and a quality named actor or two. It has the superhero effect along with a little bit of mystery. In the end, all these movies will be judged by how much money they will make.

    This is not a new market. There have been Biblical movies produced by Hollywood since the Golden age.

    This is about money... not god. Even CKW admitted that he/she will see it regardless of "poetic license".

    There is a built in crowd for this mythology and Hollywood is smart enough to exploit that audience just as Mel Gibson did with - The Smashin' Of The Christ. (seems christians can't get enough of blood and tourture)

    It's just a market that has been rediscovered.

    Funny enough the same companies used for special effects in Science Fiction Movies are being used for Biblical Movies now!!!

    As a man hangs upon the edge of a rail 10,000 feet up in the sky....another man looks at him and say's....LUUUKE....oh...wait a minute....the man says....Jesus....I am your FAAAATHEEER!

    NOOOOOOO!!!

    Stay tuned for scenes from next weeks episode.....where Han Solo blasts a giant whale allowing him to rescue Jonah as they jump into the Millennium Falcon along with Peter, Paul and Mary to find Judas on Tatoine!!!

    People want God, but he never shows up when you need him.
