Evolution V Religion

[Bum Crack]

as a Christian we believe that Jesus is returning to Earth for His Church in the rapture,

For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever” (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

when this happens and the Church has been taken what will you think?

I'll think "Fu*k me swinging, that drongo was right".

If I ever witness that, my first thought will be something like "I shouldn't have eaten those blueish-looking mushrooms"

I love this forum. Now let’s see what we’ve established so far.

1 - Evolution is an unproven lie.
2 - A god created everything.
3 - The earth is the centre of the universe with sun orbiting.
4 - The earth is flat.
5 - Port did no wrong.
6 - Water isn’t wet.
7 - Religions are not power and money hungry control freaks.
8 - God blows out the sun at night & relights it every morning.
9 - No politician, lawyer or used car salesman has ever told a lie.
10 - I am a virgin & have never touched an alcoholic beverage.

Well that’s 10. I’m off to chisel ‘em onto a couple of tablets.
Maybe a ‘Centrum’ multi-vitamin. They’re pretty hard to swallow too !

Feel free to add your own ‘truths’ to this list.

it is prophesied in the bible and the bible seems to be pretty good when it comes to warning us of future events...

Especially for Pseudo:

Top 10 Reasons why God never received a research grant.
1. He had only one major publication.
2. It was in Hebrew.
3. It had no references.
4. It wasn't published in a refereed journal.
5. Some even doubt he wrote it by himself.
6. When subjects didn't behave as predicted, he deleted them from the sample.
7. No record of working well with colleagues.
8. When one experiment went awry he tried to cover it by drowning his subjects.
9. It may be true that he created the world, but what has he done since then?

And best of all:

10. The scientific community has had a hard time replicating his results.

the Bible can never really be disproven, plus there are many instances where the same event is told of from a different person (esp in regard to Jesus) and the predictions it has made thus far put it in good stead...

Really?

Tell you what NG, if you can provide me with this week's X-Lotto numbers, and provide biblical support for your choice, then I'll join the flock. I'll even let you do the honour of baptising me.

The truth is, with an essentially infinite timeframe and a liberal enough interpretation, ANYTHING written in the bible (or in Nostradamus' quatrains for that matter) could be misinterpreted as prophecy come to fruition.

Nevertheless my offer still stands. You have until this week's draw to make me into a Born-Again Jeebuz Freak.
