Hmm. Tricky one. You need to define creation first since it was,
according to the bible, a multi-day process. At what point was it
finished? I prefer the more logical, scientific origin.
Mark Evans
Neither's going to give you an answer to the question.
Also, what did god have for breakfast that morning? I'd
think bacon and eggs with a stack of flapjacks and
Canadian maple syrup. No fucking way you can create
the heavens and the earth on oatmeal.
Because it's a fairy story, imbecile.
>And prove it.
Depends on what religion you're enquiring about, or what you mean by
"the world". If one takes the Genesis account, the creation would have
begun on a Sunday, so as to end with God resting on the Sabbath at the
end, but since it's a myth, there's no more way to "prove" it than any
other myth..
The answer is in Genesis 1 .
"The bible" is *never* an answer, but a cop-out.
Would that'scientific' origin be : Accidental Gaseous clouds
condensed into providing the Earth ... complete with over 150 extreme
razor edge precise Life Enabling Physics Constants so that Earth can
exist and be constantly maintained ?!

Okay. On what day did the Lord say "Let there be light?"
Yesterday. Thursday according to The Church Of Last Thursday.
Maeve The Cat did it and she will end it all next Wednesday at midnight.
I have a clear memory, implanted by her, of actually seeing a picture of Her
Purrfectness a few years ago.
That plus her implanting memories of the FSM coming after her creation

The very best maple syrup is from Quebec, not Canada.

'American pasta'.
So tell us the day in question.

And the other light, the one at night that some call the moon.
Day 1 - Light
Day 2 - 3 Stuff
Day 4
Unknown lights
Gen:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days, and years:
1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth: and it was so. (But not a lot of light)
Sun, moon, and stars
1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth,
1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
There's still an important distinction, though. If you want Canadian red
wine, make sure it does *not* come from Qu�bec!
;-)
Since there was already light before the "Lord" created it, there is no
"Lord".

If they liked the chicken they ate it and the dog got dog food. The owner
had trained it to not eat anything else from her.
It's very simple .......
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in
the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next
man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out
comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those
coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out,
and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they
decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and
all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all
the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end
of the game

Rubbish.
God, as everyone knows, is an Englishman.
Englishmen wouldn't be seen dead with pancakes or syrup for
breakfast.
It therefore follows inevitably that God, before creating
our sceptr'd isle and then the rest of the world, would have
tucked into a nourishing bowl of porridge, followed by a
bloater or two, some fried eggs, grilled tomato, mushrooms,
a generous dollop of baked beans, some fried bread and a
slice or three of black pudding, all washed down with a big
pot of milky manna (1). Closure would be achieved by
nibbling on some toast with orange and ginger marmalade.
Thus fortified, creation -- or indeed procreation -- may
safely be undertaken for the entire day!
In this context, it is also curious to note that the Empire
died when we were seduced by foreign muck infesting our
breakfast tables -- corn flakes from the rebels, coffee and
croissants from the filthy Frogs and the like. Now that our
morning repast has commonly degenerated to a mug of Nescafe
instnat and a <shudder> bran muffin, our total capitulation
to the forces of EUrope cannot be far off, alas.
(1) either PG Tips or Typhoo, but the theological debate is
still unresolved on this matter, having had to spend rather
too much energy in defeating the Yorkshire Gold heresy)
(2) coarse cut, of course!

Now it is time to join in a rousing chorus:
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Well there's always one who is not out remember even though he
goes in
The man who is first in but is not out when the rest are goes in
carrying his bat. Cricketers who carry their bats become cricket
heroes as few manage it to do it. Many of them are run out with
their bats or caught at first or or second slip, that is if they are
not stumped.

Crumpets. Tea and crumpets. Except in India, where they have tea and
actual crickets.
In America, it's a hot dog and beer, followed by more
beer.
Tears in my eyes, I tell you, and stiff upper lip definitely
aquiver ... particularly when followed by this:
Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!
Truth and Right and Freedom, each a holy gem,
Stars of solemn brightness, weave thy diadem.
Tho' thy way be darkened, still in splendour drest,
As the star that trembles o'er the liquid West.
Throned amid the billows, throned inviolate,
Thou hast reigned victorious, thou has smiled at fate.
Land of Hope and Glory, fortress of the Free,
How may we extol thee, praise thee, honour thee?
Hark, a mighty nation maketh glad reply;
Lo, our lips are thankful, lo, our hearts are high!
Hearts in hope uplifted, loyal lips that sing;
Strong in faith and freedom, we have crowned our King!
Popularly known as the "Shane Warne Rule".
Should we enlighten the esteemed American audience as to the
difference between a googly and a chinaman, and throw in a
detailed examination of the Duckworth Lewis Method for good
measure? I'd also be happy to debate the pros and cons of
bothering with a leg gully when playing the windies....

quotes. Not quotes from creationists or atheists or evolutionists.
Not divine revelation. Not juvenile unsupported ignorant assertions.
Not chants of 'no it isn't!'. Not counter challenges when you haven't

Provide evidence that shows how DNA is the work of a creator. Show us
this evidence and explain how it demonstrates a creator.
Unmet challenge #4
Support claims that bacteria have never arisen from anything other
than bacteria/life has never arisen from anything but life.
Unmet challenge #5
Provide evidence in support of the creationist claim that information
cannot be added to a genome.
Unmet challenge #6
Define scientifically what the "genetic boundaries" are: specifically
what the mechanism is which (according to creationist claims) prevents
one species from evolving into another species over time.
Unmet Challenge #7
Provide your scientific evidence (as opposed to your LYING,
unsupported bullshit, which has been refuted repeatedly) to support
your creationist claim that life cannot arise from organic chemistry,

Well, local variations of quality exist. Down visiting in Florida,
we had some fried chicken from WalMart (Yeah, I know, but
down here there are maybe two supermarket chains, and
neither is really that great, V. seven chains, including two
discount chains back in Ottawa.) that was quite good, even
reheated the second time around. Six bucks for 8 pieces.

Go for the real thing--in the original novel by Carlo Callodi, the cricket was
killed on page 9, mashed flat with a mallet by Pinochio himself. Disney has
much to answer for.
