My area of expertise is far from evolution or microbiology. I did exactly what you are talking about, did my own research, looked at the facts and honestly was confused. I really thought, "how can anyone take this seriously?". Aside from completely …

We are actually in a scientific dictatorship. The mere mention of anything outside of the status quo is punishable by academic persecution and character asassination.

[quote author=Child of The Faith link=topic=8477.msg107603#msg107603 date=1257668111] thank you! that makes things so much clearer =). Someone used this as a point to show a contradiction in the bible. But theres no contracdiction at all ;) [/quote…

Epchois Nai Nan, thank you very much for your help. I will make sure to write down the litany for the dead at church tomorrow.

Copticmark, thank you for your wonderful blessings. I do realize many saints had disabilities, unfortunately mine is a mental disability, which means I will rely one medecine my whole life. So I cannot guide a flock when I have to worry about myself…

Thanks guys. I am only a reader deacon at this point and I think I am disqualified from being anything more because I have manic depressive disorder. Which sucks because I would like to be a full deacon or something like that.

David, While I understand the logic that you used and to a certain extent agree, I do have to differ on a few points. I do agree that in order to discredit evolution you have to know it, thats a fact. I do believe that science has become evil, it is…

[quote author=Marina6 link=topic=8394.msg107521#msg107521 date=1257304652] thanks for the reply Ioannes but he might ask why i am comparing GOD to humans thats totally different and then he might say science can prove that evolution is right..how do…

Amazingly well put.

Ask the professor if he believes in evolution. When he says yes, as he will undoubtedly say, then proceed to nicely inform him that Darwin, Haeckel, Huxley etc were all racists. Equating the average "negro" to a typical ape or monkey. Darwin himself…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8416.msg107395#msg107395 date=1256837431] Ioannes, anyone can become a bishop. It is necessary to check who a bishop is. Which Church he belongs to etc etc. Father Peter [/quote] Fr. Peter, I did do some re…

[quote author=jesusmystrength link=topic=8452.msg107434#msg107434 date=1256873126] you know what really sucks is researchers say they supposedly found "evidence" that homosexuality may be genetic (PALEAAASE!) and that sexual identity is on a continu…

Actually I am debating an Archbishop Vladika Lazar who not only believes evolution is fact but also believes that people are born homosexual. If anyone wants to see the dialog I can post it. I was shocked that a Bishop believes in this nonsense. I t…
-
This is a terrible argument to use to try and prove that homosexuals are born this way. God would not create people gay only to condemn them in His book, it doesnt make sense and neither does that particular argument. That is if I even understand it…

Fr. Peter is absolutly correct. The face of God is hell to those who reject Him.

[quote author=aidan link=topic=8435.msg107346#msg107346 date=1256748128] Ioannes, I tend to agree with you if immoderately put, but judging by your photo I guess you are not living with someone with whom you have to compromise (although that word se…

The television is an open door. Does anyone open their front door to let foul mouthed abusive psycho's into their house for their children to learn from? I hope not. There is iconography of God and iconography of the devil, pornography is the devils…

1 Tim 2:12 "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." This is where the teaching that women cannot become priests comes from. If you can read Iconography properly you will see that yes indeed Our …

Wow. This is great evidence of science replacing God.This article seems as if these people are trying to justify gender reassignment surgeries for the homosexuals confused about their sexuality. It is disturbing. These doctors are playing God, or ar…

[quote author=coptmorous link=topic=8438.msg107238#msg107238 date=1256576227] Kind of going off of what ioannes said, people choose their fate. They either pick to follow God or Satan, without a neutral. Even Jesus says you cannot half-heartedly lov…

I will not compromise just to make everyone happy. Read Genesis, Creation and Early Man by Fr. Seraphim Rose. Amazing, orthodoxy is losing its fire.

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=8416.msg107127#msg107127 date=1256246228] I personally believe that evolution destroys faith because it acts as a catalyst for the doubter, whom cannot reject God completely without an explanation. [/quote] lol, what…

Fr. Peter, thats a very great observation. As I am sure you see just as well as I do the people trying to compromise between the two, evolution and Orthodoxy. Evolution is dangerous in the sense that if you start taking it seriously and as fact, it …
