Here is a convo that Lord Manning (Peyton Manning), just had with that scrub QB (Tom Brady) on the Patriots. His name always escapes me because he's so bad.

Loser Scrub: Hey Peyton! How you doin today?

Lord Manning: Not bad, what's your name again?

Loser Scrub: Tom.

Lord Manning: Oh yes yes, Tom, *mumbles* sissy.

Tom: What was that?

Lord Manning: Oh, uh, nothing. So how's your stats lookin' Tom? LOL not anywhere near my level.

Tom: Actually, Lord Manning, my stats from 2005 are very very similar to yours in 1999.

Lord Manning: What are you talking about?!?!?! I am Lord Manning! The media told me you don't HAVE stats! The media is all over my nuts and they really could give 2 craps about you.

Tom: With all due respect to you Lord Manning sir, I have 3 super bowl rings and was named MVP twice. On top of that, I am on pace for over 300 tds passing, which is more than Elway, and over 50,000 yards passing. I have stats and 3 rings, sort of like my friend Joe Montana.

Lord Manning: But super bowl rings are very stupid and pointless.

Tom: Please explain this one to me.

Lord Manning: You see, you have to polish your rings in the offseason, which takes away from practice time. You also have to play until the first weekend in February. I myself much rather prefer to lose in the divisional round or wild card weekend because then I have more time off between seasons. I have more time to practice. If I played until February, cleaning my rings would take away from practice time. We all know I'm all about perfection so I need practice time. I don't have time to win some silly little trophy with a football on the top of it.

Tom: Well, at least you threw 49 touchdown passes. I loved the game against detroit where you threw 6 and blew em out 41-9. How can I become as great as you, Lord Manning?

Lord Manning: *pats tom on the back* that is impossible. Only Lord Manning is as great as Lord Manning. You can keep your super bowl rings. Me? I go for statistics. I am the God of football.

Tom: but I have statistics too O Lord,

Lord Manning: *sticks fingers in ears* lalalalalallalala I can't hear you!!!!!

Using 2 or more celebs, Here's one between NFL stars Dan Marino and Joe Montana:

Dan: Hey, how ya doin Joe?

Joe: Not bad Dan, how about you?

Dan: Pretty good, I was just over at nfl.com looking up my stats and reassuring myself that I am the best.

Joe: *Polishes one super bowl ring* oh really? That's cool Dan.

Dan: Now, cmon Joe, why do you have to do that?

Joe: do what Dan?

Dan: Clean your ring in front of me. You know that hurts me and burns me up inside.

Joe: Well, why didn't you go out and get one yourself?

Dan: Cause you beat me in the super bowl!

Joe: Yeah one year out of the 17 you played.

Dan: But, that was my only chance!

Joe: Hey Dan. The great ones take advantage of the moment and get their ring or rings in my case.

Dan: But if you gave me your team I could've won 6 super bowls!

Joe: How would having my team stop you from throwing interceptions in the playoffs? You're telling me you could've driven down field when we down 16-13 and drove 92 yards for a TD in a pressure packed situation?

Dan: Well, I could've at least TRIED to do it.

Joe: *pats dan on the back* It's ok Danny. You could've TRIED. I actually went out and did it.

Dan: I passed for 5,000 yards Joe!

Joe: What? oh yeah, yeah, good job Dan.

Dan: Maybe if Shula ran the ball more than 10 times a game and had a Defense i would have had 5 Rings!!!

Joe: Woulda Coulda Shoulda, *Laughs to himself*

Dan: I know i could kick your Arse!!!

Joe: Maybe you can "Ginny"

Dan: Atleast i dont look like Barry Manilow, *Slaps his knee laughing*

Joe: *Puts on his ring, as he pulls another one out of his pocket* Do you want to talk stats
Dan?

Dan: *Stops Laughing* Yea Joe lets talk some stats!!!

Joe: I'm known to many as the "The Comeback Kid," I engineered 31 fourth quarter comebacks in my magnificent NFL career. I brought the 49ers (26 times) and the Chiefs (5 times) back from fourth quarter deficits to dramatic wins! How many did you have?

Dan:37, *laughs again*

Joe: You threw 111 more picks than i did, *laughs and mumbles, Laces out*

Dan: I also threw the ball 3000 more times, *as he curses Shula and bangs his knee*

Joe: .How many rushing TD's Danny boy?

Dan: Ummm 9 or 10, I'm a QB not a RB, *Starts to pout as he drops to a knee*

Joe: It's 9 Dan and i have 20*Opens his Zipper*

Dan: Can you wear your Rings as you pull my hair Joe?

Joe: Yes DannyPoo, Tell me who your Daddy is?

Dan*As he looks up at the Master* " You are Joe"!

You're pretty vague here. Which fact are you talking about? The fact of evolution?
here's a link that shows a reasonable amount of evidence for macroevolution
Radiometric dating gives a reliable picture on the age of fossils
I definitely don't buy the gaia idea. It's a symplistic antropocentric way of reasoning projecting intent and purpose in an entity that shows no such thing. Quite similar to the man-god ideas of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Projection of human limitations and characteristics to give sense and meaning to what is basically meaningless is an intellectually impoverished mode of thinking and not my thing.
I condemn faith in principle. Belief without evidence really isn't something to boast about.
That's no argument. A false belief that has got positive side effects is and remains a false belief.
Anyway, maybe you could try that line on the millions that were butchered in the name of God, I guess the'll wholeheartedly agree that it did [i]change [/i]their life

Enjoy your life as an accidental species of animal with no purpose in life, For me? I will serve the Lord with a glad heart and enjoy the fruits of my faith and obedience and will happily accept my eternal reward for not buying into the lies of humanists, atheists and secularists,

These vehement critics claim that there are mountains of scientific proof that man evolved from some lower species also related to apes. But in this tremendous effort to support Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, in all these "mountains of information," there has not been any scientific fossil evidence linking apes to man.

The trouble with the "missing link" is that it is still missing! In fact, the whole fossil chain that could link apes to man is also missing! The theory of evolution, which states that man evolved from some other species, has more holes in it than a crocheted bathtub.

Barack Obama has long supported the advance of the radical homosexuaI activist lobby in its pursuit to destroy traditional marriage. He supported the creation of "special rights" for people who engage in homosexuaIity for the sole purpose of putting them at the front of the line on issues of employment, housing and litigation. He has also solidly backed the advancement of all "hate crimes" legislation, which ultimately may be used to silence clergy who believe according to their own convictions that homosexuaI behavior is wrong and preach so from biblical texts. Obama has a perfect voting record against the defense of marriage.

What exactly are we suppose to be looking for on this beautiful site?

Couple of words will help.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52998 ==========================================================================
Barack Obama has a long history of defying the intended morality of Scripture. As a state legislator, he actively worked to preserve availability of abortion in all nine months of pregnancy. He opposed parental notification. He opposed any and all bans on partial-birth abortion (an act that includes delivery of the baby up to the head, the crushing of the baby's brain, the suctioning of the brain matter, and then completed delivery of the child's deflated cranium). In his run for the U.S. Senate, Obama even asked his wife to pen a letter to Illinois voters that reassured them of his commitment to fighting for the right to butcher children in the womb.

I was once a lost and empty soul with nothing to live for. I had tried everything, including hinduism, drugs, atheism and many other of mankind's vile enticements, but found no joy, happiness or peace in any of them. Then I heard about a savior who died for my sins and who would forgive me of them and give me a new life, a new heart and a new purpose. While I was skeptical at first and had all but made the decision to end my life, God had other plans and drew me to Him and breathed new life into my soul. As I grew in my faith, the Bible took on a new understanding and revelation in my life. And the truth and wisdom of God's Words have grown to become even more profound and true as the years have gone by as His Holy Spirit continues to lead me in the paths of righteousness and away from sin and depravity. Now He uses me to spread the same good news to all who have ears to hear and eyes to see, I call that a miracle,

nferyn:

I think you're a little confused. What does gaia have to do with this discussion? The whole of nature as a living entitiy isn't exactly established science and if it were, it still wouldn't have any connection to the TOE

Not to appear skeptical or anything, but shouldn't a fact be something that has evidence to support it? Since, by your own admission, there was no life 4 billion years ago, how could you know how old the earth is and when life began? And who is gaia? Earth goddess? And yet you condemn others for having faith in the Bible and God when they have clearly saved and changed lives? Stunning!

KAG:

Wait, it takes more faith to believe observed and well tested science, than it takes to believe talking snakes, the "sun standing still so Josh could finish slaughtering", a whale swallowing a man, and all the many myths in the Bible? Makes sense.

By the way, you have your theory of evolution wrong again. The ToE only deals with the diversity of life.

Can you prove that gaia is real?

Amen! I always find that the simpliest and most succinct responses hit the nail the hardest on the truth, This is what really distinguishes the Bible as valid, relevant and profound considering how long it has survived. Other religions and doctrines fail to offer as complete a book of origins, standards and wisdom as the Bible, while some (atheism) don't even have any standards,

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
he makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
thou anointest my head with oil,
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
for ever.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Psalm 23

"Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away."But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. "Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mark 13:30-32
