    "believers" are not looking to prove anything to anyone, they have belief.........if it helps people get through their lives and feel better as in my case, then wheres the harm? im not trying to convince anyone else but it is interesting to point out that the theory of evolution is just that, a theory.............yet we put our undying faith in that in order to rationalise everything through science, it's taught in school ffs when in fact there is no more actual proof than there is for creationism! (i am not denying that evolution does occur e.g. natural selection, however the idea we came from monkeys is bollocks)........every mate i have put this to just looks at me baffled.......wheres the proof?

    Total bollocks. Betraying a total misunderstanding of what theory means, what evidence is and how science works.

    Nothing can be totally proven to be true, only proven to be untrue, I have faith, but I don't have proof, and I never wanted proof, that's what faith is all about. But the same applies to science.

    Can you speak in tongues and with a different voice as well? That's a neat trick to impress the ladies at parties... ;)

    You'd probably crap your pants if someone actually prophised over your life in tongues though mate.

    he a bit annoying but this says how he does a good thing still

    A Wrexham gypsy camp. They kept beating people up in the town centre. The kids were running amok in the town hospital. Pulling plugs out of dialysis machines, you know: bad things, naughty things. Patients got ill because of this behaviour!

    I went to preach on the site. They rammed my car at first, so I went back there alone, without the car, and ended up living there for 6 weeks.

    One of them hated me though, he beat me up six times. The seventh time I spoke to him he threw a cup of tea in my face, smashed the cup, and used it to cut me. My clothes were covered in blood. Some of the gypsies came out and gave me some clothes. His Mum and Dad banned him to his caravan.

    I spoke to him the next day, he said "alright I'll talk to you, but not about God." I saw him change then, from someone that saw me as a real hated enemy and wanted to kill me. A bit of communication turned things around, he became a better role model for the kids, and things improved all round.

    I would most deffinately agree with this, in reference to lack of proof of evolution, but then, like many others I am also agnostic...

    no proof for, but at the same time, no proof against.

    my gf has complete faith in creationism, and thinks that evolution is crazy, but that's how it's taught in south africa. similar to the way it's going in america (not sure if that's all america though).

    personally, I think it's crazy talk to think evolution is ficticious

    Where's this taken from? Doesn't sound like any camp I know.

    I just thought I would point out that this thread was last posted in about 8 years ago. It is worth checking dates before posting just in case :)
