I asked why are there still creationists in the 21st century. This was the best answer.

Ignorance can be cured by education.  
Most creationists reject education.  
The ones that don't become atheists.  

Then, you have stupidity, which can't be cured at all. 

So: stupidity and rejection of education is the reason why there are still creationists in the 21st century.

What is an agnostic? I looked it up.

agnostic: a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of the Easter Bunny or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in the Easter Bunny.

Replace the words "Easter Bunny" with leprechauns or god or Magic Man, it's still ridiculous.

Agnostics have these things in common:

They are full of bullshit.

They're extremely dense.

They're stupid fucking assholes.

They're part of the religious stupidity and religious violence problems.

They can't grow up and make a fucking decision.

Is the Easter Bunny real or not?

Agnostic retard: "Duh, duh, I don't know, duh."

The stupid, it burns.

A person is either 100% certain the Magic Man is not real or a person is a fucking idiot.

Does this mean the vast majority of the human apes on this planet are fucking idiots?

Yes.

There is a Christian war against teaching evolution in Florida where I live. I never met a Christian who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.

Our Fort Lauderdale, Florida newspaper is called the Sun Sentinel. It has an article about how Florida's Christian scum are trying to dumb down the teaching of evolution with much help from our Republican governor. Republicans want to replace science education with god-did-it. I never met a Republican who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.

Somebody asked a question about Pascal's wager. In the 21st century there are still Christian fucktards who agree with this bullshit.

Wikipedia: Pascal's Wager is an argument in philosophy presented by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–62). It posits that humans bet with their lives that God either exists or does not.

Pascal argues that a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.), whereas they stand to receive infinite gains (as represented by eternity in Heaven) and avoid infinite losses (eternity in Hell).

--------------------------------

The question: "Does Pascal's wager ever make sense?"

I wrote this answer:

I "know" hell is not real. I "know" heaven is not real.

How do I know these things?

I have a brain and I use it.

Only reality is real. Everything else including every moronic religious fantasy ever invented, is bullshit.

--------------------------------

"Pascal's Wager is an argument in philosophy"

If every philosopher in the world dropped dead nobody would notice and nobody would care.

Most philosophy I've seen is bullshit about bullshit. All philosophers have three things in common: They are full of bullshit, they contribute nothing to human progress, and they're too lazy to get a real job.

I suggest click the label "philosophy" and also click this link:

"Philosophy is a disorder that causes people to ponder pondering, rather than go out and get a job."

The brain of human apes is larger but chimpanzee apes are stronger. Also chimps have much better short-term memory than human apes.

The chimpanzees always win short-term memory tests.

Chimps Have Better Short-term Memory Than Humans

"A Japanese researcher presented a video showing the remarkable abilities of a chimpanzee named Ayumu, here at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Thursday (Feb. 14). When the numbers 1 through 9 appeared randomly on a screen and then disappeared, the chimpanzee was able to recall the exact sequence and location of each number. Ayumu has also learnt numbers 1 through 19 and is able to touch each one in ascending order, which hasn't been shown before, Tetsuro Matsuzawa, a researcher at Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute, told Livescience."

This 3 minute YouTube video is fantastic. It shows chimps have a short-term memory that's many times better than humans.

We definitely have more powerful brains except of course the brain-dead creationists.

Small but distinct differences among species mark evolution of human brain

"Despite differences in brain size, the researchers found striking similarities between primate species of gene expression in 16 regions of the brain -- even in the prefrontal cortex, the seat of higher order learning that most distinguishes humans from other apes."

A quote from "The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution" by Sean B. Carroll

Now, nearly 150 years later, we can see. We no longer look at Nature's diversity "as a savage looks at a ship." From the new DNA record, the evidence of the workings of the evolutionary process abounds. But many people--a great many--either do not see what scientists see, or do not believe what scientists have concluded.

I have borrowed the title of this chapter from the wonderful book Seeing and Believing by Richard Panek, about the invention of the telescope and how it changed our perception of the sky and our place in the universe. Like Darwin, Galileo's observations and ideas were rejected by authorities who had no use for new evidence or ideas. But, eventually, the observable evidence overwhelmed ideological resistance. For all of those who do see the overwhelming evidence of natural selection and life's descent from ancestors, and the immense span of time over which the story of life unfolded, it is, to put it mildly, baffling how so many still do not. It is absolutely astonishing and often infuriating that some take it so far as to deny the immense foundation of evidence and to slander all the human achievement that foundation represents.

With the facts on evolution's side, how can this doubt and denial persist, or even be growing, here at the outset of the twenty-first century?

Global warming is causing lots of problems these days and it's going to get worse. Fortunately some things can be fixed.

Coral transplant experiment raises survival hopes for Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

SYDNEY – In a project they hope could restore damaged ecosystems around the world, coral bred in one part of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef was successfully transplanted into another area, Australian scientists said Sunday.

In a trial at the reef’s Heron Island, off the Queensland coast, researchers collected large amounts of coral spawn and eggs late last year, grew them into larvae and then transplanted them into areas of damaged reef.

When they returned eight months later, they found juvenile coral that had survived and grown, aided by underwater mesh tanks.

“The success of this new research not only applies to the Great Barrier Reef but has potential global significance,” lead researcher Peter Harrison of Southern Cross University said.

“It shows we can start to restore and repair damaged coral populations where the natural supply of coral larvae has been compromised.”

Harrison said his mass larval-restoration approach contrasts with the current “coral gardening” method of breaking up healthy coral and sticking healthy branches on reefs in the hope they will regrow, or growing coral in nurseries before transplantation.

He is optimistic his approach, which was earlier successfully trialled in the Philippines in an area of reef highly degraded by blast fishing, could help reefs recover on a larger scale.

“The results are very promising and our work shows that adding higher densities of coral larvae leads to higher numbers of successful coral recruits,” he added.

The Great Barrier Reef, the largest living structure on Earth, is reeling from an unprecedented second-straight year of coral bleaching because of warming sea temperatures linked to climate change.

David Wachenfeld, the chief scientist of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the government agency that manages the area, said there is a need for such efforts amid the accelerating impacts of climate change.

“The success of these first trials is encouraging — the next challenge is to build this into broader scale technology that is going to make a difference to the reef as a whole,” Wachenfeld said.

Bible Belt stupidity. Christian assholes want to throw out the Establishment Clause of our Bill of Rights so they can stick their Christian death cult into public schools. I never met a Christian who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.

In Georgia, a bible thumping state, a high school football coach would pray with the players which violates our Establishment Clause. After the FFRF told the coach he can't do that the dense students prayed without him as did hundreds of other students there to see the game. This is show-off praying. "Everyone look at how holy I am." The stupid, it burns in Idiot America.

The Magic Jeebus Man said "Pray in your closet." America's Christian assholes didn't get the memo.

By the way this is American football which is completely different from the football played in the rest of the world. American football is very violent but these people wear helmets and other stuff to make it almost safe.

-------------------------------

The newspaper article:

A Georgia high school football team, joined by supportive students and fans, banded together after an out-of-state atheist group objected to coaches praying with players.

The Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) notified East Coweta County High School about coach John Small praying with players.

"Coach Small's conduct is unconstitutional because he endorses and promotes his religion when acting in his official capacity as a school district employee," the organization wrote.

The school board then announced that coaches could not "join hands, bow their heads, take a knee or commit another act that otherwise manifests approval with the students' religious experience."

In response, the players joined hundreds of students and fans at their final game in an even bigger prayer than usual. 

Small told Ainsley Earhardt that he's proud of his players for standing up for what they believe. He emphasized that the pregame prayers are always student-led, not led by the coaches.

Christian scum like to ask stupid questions which they know they will ignore. Why are Christians constantly trying to waste everyone's time? It's because Christians are stupid fucking assholes. A Christian fucktard asked a stupid question. I have a lot of time on my hands so I wrote an answer which will be ignored. I never met a Christian who wasn't a stupid fucking asshole.

"Where is the evidence that proves atheism is right? I have asked many atheists for this, but all i get is fallacies & rants, never evidence?"

These days we have something called "science" which has repeatedly chased the god of the gaps out of its hiding places. This scientific progress will never end. 

We still have gaps. Not every problem has been solved. These are called "research opportunities", not "hiding places for a magical being". 

For stuff we still don't know, scientists have good ideas. None of these ideas requires a god fairy's magical powers. 

Another reason the god fantasy should be thrown out: 

Magic is not real. This is a basic fact of reality. Magic is not real therefore magic god fairies are impossible. 

If you still want to pretend there is a magical being hiding somewhere in the universe, nobody cares. It's your wasted life.

One more thing Mr. Fucktard: Atheism is an acceptance of reality. Reality does not need defending because reality is real.

I know you are too fucking dense to understand. Nobody cares.

Interesting evidence for evolution: Immortal genes

I like to look things up: "The dust jacket of a book is the detachable outer cover, usually made of paper and printed with text and illustrations. This outercover has folded flaps that hold it to the front and back book covers."

A few years ago I read "The Making of the Fittest, DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution" by Sean B. Carroll.

He wrote several pages about immortal genes. I was just looking at the dust jacket which had a few words about these genes:

"Though the DNA record has resoundingly confirmed Darwin's main principles, several major surprises have been revealed."

"The first surprise is that there is a set of 'immortal' genes in the DNA of nearly every creature, from bacteria to whales. These genes first emerged three billion years ago and have survived the constant onslaught of mutations that would have erased them eons ago, were it not for natural selection."

The idea if a creature (including human apes) had a mutation that changed or disabled one of these genes, that creature would not survive and not reproduce. The mutation would not exist anymore.

Obviously this is powerful evidence for the idea all species share an ancestor.

He also wrote about fossil genes. I suggest read the book or just look it up.

Christians, to put it as nicely as possible, are gullible, cowardly, childish, and just plain fucking stupid.

Christian retards, to defend their cowardly belief in a magical 2nd life, frequently say "You can't be certain my heaven fantasy is wrong. Only dead people know what really happens."

Dead people don't know anything because they're fucking dead.

The problem with Christians is they think magic is real. They never admit but they have a childish belief in magic.

Normal people, people who have a brain and use their brain, can figure things out, especially something as simple as this:

Is supernatural magic real or not?

Of course it's not real for the same reason the Easter Bunny is not real.

Is reality real or not?

This seems like a very simple question and it is simple but Christians are so fucking insane they can't figure it out.

Reality is most definitely real. A magical paradise for Christian morons is not reality.

If you're a Christian consider the advantages of growing up and facing facts. Don't be afraid Christian fucktards. You can grow up. Just try to pretend you're not a cowardly gullible uneducated moron.

Everyone should buy Why Evolution Is True by Jerry Coyne and read the whole thing at least twice.

Some stuff I stole from Jerry Coyne's "Why Evolution Is True" and from his website:

If anything is absolutely, rock-bottom true, it’s that life evolved, beginning about 4 billion years ago, and that the creation myth of Genesis is completely wrong.

Even without fossils, we have evidence of human evolution from comparative anatomy, embryology, our vestigial traits, and even biogeography. We've learned of our fishlike embryos, our dead genes, our transitory fetal coat of hair, and our poor design, all testifying to our origins. The fossil record is really the icing on the cake.

natural selection: The nonrandom, differential reproduction of alleles from one generation to the next. This usually results from the carriers of some alleles being better able to survive or reproduce in their environments than the carriers of alternative alleles.

If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator.

But, as Lovan noted in his piece, “83 percent of home-schooling parents want to give their children ‘religious or moral instruction.’” I weep for those children. For many of them are simply being brainwashed by their parents. Yes, that’s what it is—brainwashing. For a parent to ignore 150 years of solid science, feeding their children lies based on theology, is to deprive those children of the wonder of the universe—a wonder based on truth rather than medieval superstition. It kills off the part of a child that most needs nurturing: her sense of wonder, and all the possibilities of life that are opened up by that wonder. How many budding biologists have been stifled by their parents’ willful ignorance of science, and on their insistence that the Bible is the real source of biological information? Generation after generation of ignorance and religious dogmatism, all perpetuated by religously based home-schooling.

Chance alone cannot explain the marvelous fit between individuals and their environment. And it doesn't. True, the raw materials for evolution--the variations between individuals--are indeed produced by chance mutations. These mutations occur willy-nilly, regardless of whether they are good or bad for the individual. But it is the filtering of that variation by natural selection that produces adaptations, and natural selection is manifestly not random. It is a powerful molding force, accumulating genes that have a greater chance of being passed on to others, and in so doing making individuals even better able to cope with their environment. It is, then, the unique combination of mutation and selection--chance and lawfulness--that tells us how organisms become adapted.

Over the past quarter-century, poll after poll has revealed that nearly half of all Americans flatly reject evolution, many clinging to the ancient superstition that the earth was created only 6,000 years ago, complete with all existing species. But as Richard Dawkins shows in his splendid new book, The Greatest Show on Earth, the theory of evolution is supported by at least as much evidence as is the germ theory of disease--heaps of it, and from many areas of biology. So why is it contemptible to reject germ theory but socially acceptable to reject evolutionary theory?

Since Dart's time, paleoanthropologists, geneticists, and molecular biologists have used fossils and DNA sequences to establish our place in the tree of evolution. We are apes descended from other apes, and our closest cousin is the chimpanzee, whose ancestors diverged from our own several million years ago in Africa. These are indisputable facts. And rather than diminishing our humanity, they should produce satisfaction and wonder, for they connect us to all organisms, the living and the dead.

But not everyone sees it that way. Among those reluctant to accept Darwinism, human evolution forms the core of their resistance. It doesn't seem so hard to accept that mammals evolved from reptiles, or land animals from fish. We just can't bring ourselves to acknowledge that, just like every other species, we too evolved from an ancestor that was very different. We've always perceived ourselves as somehow standing apart from the rest of nature. Encouraged by the religious belief that humans were the special object of creation, as well as by a natural solipsism that accompanies a self-conscious brain, we resist the evolutionary lesson that, like other animals, we are contingent products of the blind and mindless process of natural selection. And because of the hegemony of fundamentalist religion in the United States, this country has been among the most resistant to the fact of human evolution.

When dealing with the human fossil record, creationists go through extreme, indeed almost humorous, contortions to avoid admitting the obvious. In fact, they'd prefer to steer clear of the issue. But when forced to confront it, they simply sort hominin fossils into what they see as two discrete groups--humans and apes--and assert that these groups are separated by a large and unbridgeable gap. This reflects their religiously based view that although some species may have evolved from others, humans did not, but were the object of a special act of creation. But the whole folly is exposed by the fact that creationists can't agree on exactly which fossils are "human" and which are "ape". Specimens of H. habilis and H. erectus, for example, are classified as "apes" by some creationists and "humans" by others. One author has even described a H. erectusspecimen as an ape in one of his books and a human in another! Nothing shows the intermediacy of these fossils better than the inability of creationists to classify them consistently.

Every day, hundreds of observations and experiments pour into the hopper of scientific literature. Many of them don't have much to do with evolution--they're observations about details of physiology, biochemistry, development, and so on--but many of them do. And every fact that has something to do with evolution confirms its truth. Every fossil that we find, every DNA molecule that we sequence, every organ system that we dissect supports the idea that species evolved from common ancestors. Despite innumerable possible observations that could prove evolution untrue, we don't have a single one. We don't find mammals in the Precambrian rocks, humans in the same layers as dinosaurs, or any other fossils out of evolutionary order. DNA sequencing supports the evolutionary relationships of species originally deduced from the fossil record. And, as natural selection predicts, we find no species with adaptations that benefit only a different species. We do find dead genes and vestigial organs, incomprehensible under the idea of special creation. Despite a million chances to be wrong, evolution always comes up right. That is as close as we can get to a scientific truth.

But even without fossils we'd still know something about our place on the tree of evolution. As Linnaeus proposed, our anatomy places us in the order Primates along with monkeys, apes, and lemurs, all sharing traits such as forward-facing eyes, fingernails, color vision, and opposable thumbs. Other features put us in the smaller superfamily Hominoides along with the "lesser apes" (gibbons) and "great apes" (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and ourselves). And within the Hominidae, sharing unique features like flattened fingernails, thirty-two teeth, enlarged ovaries, and prolonged parental care. These shared characters show that our common ancestor with the great apes lived more recently than our common ancestor with any other mammal.

Molecular data derived from DNA and protein sequences confirms these relationships, and also tells us roughly when we diverged from our relatives. We are most closely related to the chimpanzees--equally to the common chimp and the bonobo--and we diverged from our joint common ancestor about seven million years ago. The gorilla is a slightly more distant relative, and orangutans more distant yet (12 million years since the common ancestor).

Evolutionary theory, then, makes predictions that are bold and clear. Darwin spent some twenty years amassing evidence for his theory before publishingThe Origin. That was more than a hundred and fifty years ago. So much knowledge has accumulated since then! So many more fossils found; so many more species collected and their distributions mapped around the world; so much more work in uncovering the evolutionary relationships of different species. And whole new branches of science, undreamt of by Darwin, have arisen, including molecular biology and systematics, the study of how organisms are related.

And we'll see, all the evidence -- both old and new -- leads ineluctably to the conclusion that evolution is true.

I certainly make no claim to be the Milton of Darwinism. But I can at least try to dispel the misconceptions that frighten people away from evolution and from the amazing derivation of life's staggering diversity from a single naked replicating molecule. The biggest of these misconceptions is that accepting evolution will somehow sunder our society, wreck our morality, impel us to behave like beasts, and spawn a new generation of Hitlers and Stalins.

That just won't happen, as we know from the many European countries whose residents wholly embrace evolution yet manage to remain civilized. Evolution is neither moral nor immoral. It just is, and we make of it what we will. I have tried to show that two things we can make of it are that it's simple and it's marvelous. And far from constricting our actions, the study of evolution can liberate our minds. Human beings may be only one small twig on the vast branching tree of evolution, but we're a very special animal. As natural selection forged our brains, it opened up for us whole new worlds. We have learned how to improve our lives immeasurably over those of our ancestors, who were plagued by disease, discomfort, and a constant search for food. We can fly above the tallest mountain, dive deep below the sea, and even travel to other planets. We make symphonies, poems, and books to fulfill our aesthetic passions and emotional needs. No other species has accomplished anything remotely similar.

But there is something even more wondrous. We are the one creature to whom natural selection has bequeathed a brain complex enough to comprehend the laws that govern the universe. And we should be proud that we are the only species that has figured out how we came to be.

In fact, understanding evolution should surely deepen and enrich our appreciation of the living world and our place in it. The truth -- that we, like lions, redwoods, and frogs, all resulted from the slow replacement of one gene by another, each step conferring a tiny reproductive advantage -- is surely more satisfying than the myth that we were suddenly called into being from nothing.

We also harbor dead genes that came from other species, namely viruses. Some, called 'endogenous retroviruses' (ERVs), can make copies of their genome and insert them into the DNA of species they infect. (HIV is a retrovirus.) If the viruses infect the cells that make sperm and eggs, they can be passed on to future generations. The human genome contains thousands of such viruses, nearly all of them rendered harmless by mutations. They are the remnants of ancient infections. But some of these remnants sit in exactly the same location on the chromosomes of humans and chimpanzees. These were surely viruses that infected our common ancestor and were passed on to both descendants. Since there is almost no chance of viruses inserting themselves independently at exactly the same spot in two species, this points strongly to common ancestry.

Creationists often cite Haeckel's "fudged" drawings as a tool for attacking evolution in general: evolutionists, they claim, will distort the facts to support a misguided Darwinism. But the Haeckel story is not so simple. Haeckel may not have been guilty of malfeasance, but only of sloppiness: his "fraud" consisted solely of illustrating three different embryos using the same woodcut. When called to account, he admitted the error and corrected it. There's simply no evidence that he consciously distorted the appearance of embryos to make them look more similar than they already were.

One of my favorite cases of embryological evidence for evolution is the furry human fetus. We are famously known as "naked apes" because, unlike other primates, we don't have a thick coat of hair. But in fact for one brief period we do--as embryos. Around sixth months after conception, we become completely covered with a fine, downy coat of hair called lanugo. Lanugo is usually shed about a month before birth, when it's replaced by the more sparsely distributed hair with which we're born. (Premature infants, however, are sometimes born with lanugo, which soon falls off.) Now, there's no need for a human embryo to have a transitory coat of hair. After all, it's a cozy 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit in the womb. Lanugo can be explained only as a remnant of our primate ancestry: fetal monkeys also develop a coat of hair at about the same stage of development. Their hair, however, doesn't fall out, but hangs on to become the adult coat. And, like humans, fetal whales also have lanugo, a remnant of when their ancestors lived on land.

One answer is religion. Unlike germ theory, the idea of evolution strikes at the heart of human ego, suggesting that we were not the special object of God's attention but were made by the same blind and mindless process of natural selection that also built ferns, fish and rabbits. Another answer is ignorance: most Americans are simply unaware of the multifarious evidence that makes evolution more than "just a theory," and don't even realize that a scientific theory is far more than idle speculation.

I never met a theist who wasn't a fucking moron.

Why is there theistic evolution while there is no theistic gravity?

Religious fucktards know evolution kills their moronic death cults. That's why they either throw out evolution or they pollute evolution with god bullshit as if magic could be mechanism for a natural process.

Religious assholes, keep your childish god fantasy out of biology. Science does not need your Magic Man's magical powers.

Catholics are fucking morons.

Imagine the stupidity required to be a Catholic these days. The out of control sexual child abuse. A pope who wears a funny hat and a very expensive dress. The extremely wealthy Vatican. Then of course there is the required fantasy that says the Magic Jeebus Man magically became a zombie after getting executed for our sins.

What the fuck is a sin? I looked it up.

sin: an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.

Divine law?

Divine law is any law that is believed by religious adherents to come directly from the "will of God", in contrast to man-made law. ... Divine laws are contained in sacred religious texts such as the Torah, the Holy Bible, and the Quran.

Would that be the bible god's love for slavery and genocide?

If you're a Catholic FFS grow up.

Some more extreme Christian insanity. Imagine the stupidity required to believe this bullshit: "We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan."

Trinity International University holds to the statement of faith of the Evangelical Free Church of America. The EFCA is an association of autonomous churches united around the following theological convictions:

God

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.

The Bible

We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

The Human Condition

We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan. In union with Adam, human beings are sinners by nature and by choice, alienated from God, and under His wrath. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued, reconciled and renewed.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures. Jesus—Israel’s promised Messiah—was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.

The Work of Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit, in all that He does, glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of its guilt. He regenerates sinners, and in Him they are baptized into union with Christ and adopted as heirs in the family of God. He also indwells, illuminates, guides, equips and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service.

The Church

We believe that the true church comprises all who have been justified by God’s grace through faith alone in Christ alone. They are united by the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ, of which He is the Head. The true church is manifest in local churches, whose membership should be composed only of believers. The Lord Jesus mandated two ordinances, baptism and the Lord’s Supper, which visibly and tangibly express the gospel. Though they are not the means of salvation, when celebrated by the church in genuine faith, these ordinances confirm and nourish the believer.

Christian Living

We believe that God’s justifying grace must not be separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor and justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed.

Christ’s Return

We believe in the personal, bodily and premillennial return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The coming of Christ, at a time known only to God, demands constant expectancy and, as our blessed hope, motivates the believer to godly living, sacrificial service and energetic mission.

Response and Eternal Destiny

We believe that God commands everyone everywhere to believe the gospel by turning to Him in repentance and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that God will raise the dead bodily and judge the world, assigning the unbeliever to condemnation and eternal conscious punishment and the believer to eternal blessedness and joy with the Lord in the new heaven and the new earth, to the praise of His glorious grace. Amen.

A Christian retard has 4 degrees in bullshit. All that education to become a world-class moron. Of course this professional asshole for Jeebus is an evolution denier. Reality makes him cry.

Formal education:
PhD in New Testament Exegesis and Theology from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (2010)
PhD in Theology from Bob Jones University (2006)
MA in Bible from Bob Jones University (2003)
