moral breakdown in society is rampant .
The rise in unwed motherhood therefore underscores the wisdom of the Bible’s counsel at Acts 15:29 to ‘abstain from fornication.’ Interestingly, that Bible verse further says: "If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!"

Poor gal, this only means she won't have children. Everyone is constantly deluded that the end of times will happen within their lifetime...the disciples did, and every generation since...Witnesses have predicted numerous times, each date come and gone...

LOL on the dinosaurs...my fav is that G-d put them bones and fossils there to test us...and don't forget where they have proof that Dinosaurs and man walked the earth the same time...and that there are layers where dinosaur footprints are more recent than human footprints!! What is exceedingly funny is that they will use all these proofs simultaneously despite the fact that if one were true the others are canceled out!

Ahem...I have consistently used *only* one of those points, understanding the others are false logic. Sometimes it takes a bit of seeing to believe...but then, we've all got a bit of the Doubting Thomas in us, no?

Perhaps it is easier to accept that some tracks, specifically every one of them laid down by one specific creature, are selectively eroded, while tracks in the same strata and ranging from about 3 to 6 feet away, are relatively pristine? As are all of the other acknowledged prints within the vicinity of the site relatively pristine, give or take about a half mile square...all except those darn human prints that cannot possibly be (yet fit my feet almost perfectly). Not to mention, there are a couple of those prints that by their very nature challenge the selective erosion hypothesis...when the creature dug in to start running! Shoulda been claw marks then for sure, no matter how goofy the "dino" was walking up to that point...but those specific prints are ignored in the establishment literature. My, how convenient. And really when one thinks about it...how typical. Been there, seen the tracks, bought the souvenirs, listened to the arguments of both sides and found faulty logic on both sides. Both sides manipulate the data to suit their agenda...what is so surprising about that?

Paluxy River, Glen Rose Texas, south of Dallas...should anybody be interested. Oh, and fair warning...there is an organization there that sponsors a "Creation Evidence Museum." It can be found on the web by that name, or at least it could when last I checked about 4 years ago. They have been trumped by some locally made artifacts such as the Burdick print which have been shown to be false. THIS IS NOT WHAT I AM REFERRING TO. I cannot emphasize that enough. The museum is a neat little sideshow of its own, but I hardly take what they propound as gospel or definitive. No, the tracks I examined were on private property just down the road from there, and the old guy that owned it then was in poor health. Sad to say, but he's probably passed by now, it's been almost ten years.

Re: Jehovah witnesses.

OH OH I guess I'm one of those contributing to the moral degredation of our society. I have 3 children and no I have never been married. Shock, Horror!!! I wont go into details I really dont want to bore you all but, I like to think I am a valuable member of society and so are my children. One is an adult and he is breaking tradition by actually getting married in december. Oh well, at least one of my brood might go to heaven, Eh? Did I mention that he is also the only one that is baptised as well. Was I playing favourites?, no, I just succumbed to family pressure when he was born to get him baptised. OOOps, I think I've gone off the track a bit, sorry. Marriage wasnt a choice I wanted to make then, now might be different though. love the grey

Are you reffering to Creation Museum - Creation, Evolution, Science, Dinosaurs, Family, Christian Worldview - Creation Museum or something else?
You know, without doubts, faith would not exist.

No. This you referenced is in Kentucky, the one I went to is in Glen Rose Texas. I do not know if the two are affiliated. I know nothing about the place you referenced.

Try here: Creation Evidence Museum - Can we Know the God of Creation? Who Am I? Where Did I Come From? What Is My Purpose Here? Where Am I Going? Learn the scientific evidence for creation and the answers to many of life's important questions

I also went to Talkorigins to print out some of their stuff on this. A bit lengthy and off topic here, so I will put in a new thread in the science section.

It depends on the museum. Free being a relative term. Many museums are supported by tax dollars, those with some type of government sanction. Private museums, such as those linked to, have to support themselves somehow...particularly if the subject matter precludes them from government sources of revenue for upkeep and maintenance. So, in short, some museums here are "free," and others must charge admission.

What does the bible -say- of marriage? Not, what do people make of it... But what does the bible really say about marriage?....

You have a baptised kid? Hmm, I go along the lines of baptisim is a personal choice... Not an action that is -forced- on a child unknowingly... A personal agreement via human to jebus...... I wouldn't see it as playing favourites as that kid didn't sign the dotted line... His parents did that for him

I can think of museums over here that aren't free. It'd be good if they were but all those nice members of staff have to be paid.

Re: Jehovah witnesses.

In the states many/most museums are for a fee...some operate on donations.

At our nations capitol we have right downtown the Smithsonians... They are actually called one museum the Smithsonian, but there are many buildings between art, archeology, science, air and space ....I don't know today how many years it would take if you spent 30 seconds in front of each exhibit...but they are all free....one is out of town near Dulles Airport and in one building you can see the shuttle, an SR-21 spy plane, the Concord, and hundreds of other planes/jets....
