[quote]If you are honestly interested then here is the answer you seek, but please do not try to make an argument with statements such as this as they really do not make your point. "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." Revelation 4:11 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

[quote]If ID is true then all life has been designed and has a purpouse, so if you are going to argue for it you need to be able to pin a purpouse on every living thing. This includes mayflies, wasps, penguins, bacteria and everything else that lives or has lived.[/quote] Well, you see, according to most Christians, the purpose of all animals (except humans) and plants is to be used and exploited by humans. That's it. [quote]This my friend is micro-evolution. The slow buil

[quote]They probably weren't, and might well have gone to Heaven. There is a long series of books by Lahaye and Jenkins named the "Left Behind" series, in which the Rapture occurs (quite literally - but at the very least as a sort of allegory), and all the kids and babies take part in it and go to Heaven. I'm not saying that's necessarily what happened here (no one does), but it's certainly a possibility.[/quote] The person I was quoting said that people bring death upon themselves thro

[quote]You must have missed this..."...the theory of evolution (as an explanation of origins) cannot in any way be stated as scientific fact."... and I totally missed the part where I was selling creationism as science, I thought I was selling it as truth.[/quote] You must not know that the theory of evolution is as much as fact as the theory of gravitation. Like I said, it doesn't matter what you believe the truth to be. The fact of the matter is that evolution produces tangible, predi

[quote]Quoting random scriptures, and quoting it incorrectly at that, doesn't help much.Anyone can take a passage out of context and twist it to mean pretty much anything they want. In fact Satan does it repeatedly throughout the Bible. Perhaps you read that part, too? Interpreting that passage to mean what you said above, and to use it as defense that something other than evolution might be the truth simply because it is "excess" theory, is silly.[/quote] You're right. ANYONE can ta

[quote]Funny that the same standard is now rarely applied to evolution. Without the ability to test scientific theories about what existed 50 million years ago, the theory of evolution (as an explanation of origins) cannot in any way be stated as scientific fact. Yet it is taught as such. When I was a child it was still properly and carefully referred to as theory. Untestable theories are not necessarily unscientific, you just have to recognize that without the proof required to elevate

[quote]Nothing you say to me will change my mind.Nothing I say to you will change your mind.Go ahead and live and believe like there is no Heaven or Hell... like there is no God. You better hope you are right.Romans 14:11:It is written: " 'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'

[quote]WRONG! You are seeing the EFFECTS of the wind. You are seeing the DIRT being blown by the wind, not the wind (air) itself. ...[/quote] The problem is that wind speed can be measured and detected independently, it has weight, it has mass, it has a color, we know what makes up air, it's used in known natural processes. We can't do the same with God. [quote]Says who? So you are saying since it is so old, then it can't be true? Man... that is a powerful argument. (/sarcasm off) <b

[quote]They are all painted including the backgrounds.He had base photographs to work on for the humans and yeah well he's doing it for fun so of course he puts in hot peeps So it's no photo manip or pasting happening here.It should work online afaik.[/quote] These are badass pictures but the backgrounds are definitely from EVE Online without a doubt. I've played it for the last 3 years and I recognize some of the ships as being Minmatar and Caldari.

[quote]Well it's like, why play the game at all? Why not have it just be a movie you watch?The AI does a lot for you already.[/quote] That's more than a little bit of an exaggeration. I agree that there should be more options for AI tactics like avoiding enemies, avoiding static defenses, avoiding enemy planets when planning a phasing route, etc. The point is not to make the computer play the game for you but it gets more than a little ridiculous when I have 12 fleets

[quote]I have to say that it's more than a little biased that the OP says it's wrong to listen to the vocal minority for campaigns but they should listen to the vocal minority when it comes to game balance.The OP recognizes that campaigns very rarely have any semblance of 'balance'. Because of that, it makes sense to take more an interest in what the highest number of people think would be 'cool' than to spend time mulling over balance issues.Skirmish and multiplayer, on the other hand, are gen

[quote]Why in the world would they want to unbalance the game? Why would logically thinking developers waste their time desiging a game that is unbalanced. How could they have the ability to create a product with such potentional and then 'piss' it away with a lack of game mechanics design... simple, fact... they wouldn't.[/quote] Quite honestly, you seem rather naive. Having worked in the video game industry, let me tell you that developers are human, like anyone else, and if they en

I have to say that it's more than a little biased that the OP says it's wrong to listen to the vocal minority for campaigns but they should listen to the vocal minority when it comes to game balance. He goes on to say that only a few people understand the game well enough to be able to make truly educated opinions. It's fairly obvious that the OP has more than a few opinions on balance and he definitely considers himself one of the elite.
