    Tell that to Dawkins, here's an excerpt from one of his books thick with guesses and hunches..:)-
    "My guess is that both bats and birds evolved flight by gliding downwards from the trees.. Here’s one guess as to how flying got started in birds.. Perhaps birds began by leaping off the ground while bats began gliding out of trees. Or perhaps birds too began by gliding out of trees" (Richard Dawkins: Climbing Mount Improbable pp. 113–4)

    Notice how Dawkins isn't claiming his guesses are "Scientific Theories"? That's because he actually know what a Scientific Theory is and that it isn't a "guess".

    Which incidents are you referring to mate?
    The whole Egyptian army was chasing him and his mates in chariots, so it serves 'em right when the Red Sea zapped them..:)

    When Christians were burning "heretics" at the stake, were they "calm" and "goodnatured"?

    What a shock! This idiot claims to know all about Atheists and how we think, what we believe. He cites no source for this knowledge, he just make a generalized statement that supposedly covers everyone and everything. This is the epitome of bigotry and hatred. Not the Christian values he espouses. Once again he ghas exposed himself for what he is.

    So you haven't read Exodus and know nothing about the Golden Calf? Moses murdered thousands for not worshipping his god.

    So then all your claims that Christians don't torture and murder people were lies? And not only that but now you are totally flipping your position and saying that Christians torturing and murdering people was a good thing?

    Wait, so did "true Chrstians" civilize the world or do "True Christians" not torture and murder? Because you can't have it both ways and the Christians who conquered huge swaths of Africa and the Americas routinely tortured and murdered those who wouldn't convert.

    Atheists don't want to be Jesus's chums, what more do we need to know about them?
    PS- Why don't they like him? He used to go around rescuing naughty girls from mobs, and he told the snooty priests they were full of sh*t, so whose side are atheists on, his or the mobs and priests?

    So murdering people is okay if those people don't worship the same God as you? I thought "true Christians" don't murder?

    When a group of shipwrecked British sailors struggled ashore in old Mexico, they were tended and cared for by Spanish Christian monks.
    Then the Inquisition swooped and carted the sailors off for "interrogation" and killed some, imprisoned others and whipped others.
    The moral?- some Christians are okay like the monks, and others are not so okay like the inquisition..:)

    You didn't answer the question:

    Did "true Christians" civilize the world by torturing and murdering those who wouldn't convert or do "True Christians" no torture and murder? You don't get to have it both ways.

    Then you can no longer claim Christians civilized the "Heathens" because those weren't "True Christians" by your constantly shifting standard.

    The reason we're clobbering ISIS is because they're clobbering us with terror attacks, seems fair to me..:)

    So the worshippers of the Golden Calf had launched terrorist attacks against Moses? Where is that in the Bible?

    Do "true Christians" murder people for being heathens or does that make them no longer "True Christians"?

    You changed your online name before. It's time to change it again - to Mary Poppins.

    All I ask for is something that you wouldn't recognize, a commitment to the truth. This is something that you will never do as it turns your little nursery world upside down.
