[quote]Play a game that takes 1/5th of my hard drive space. Im sorry but even EVE took less and I would seriously like people to find a more massive environment.[/quote] http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7821985&type=product&id=1142294266836 If I had an extra one, I would mail it to you, just so you could install and play AoC. It will be worth it. I played the PvP weekend beta, and loved what I saw. I think it will be a huge success.

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]Can you tell me exactly WHY mixing the right proportions of hydrogen and oxygen together makes water? Why does it always make water.. why hasn't that "evolved" into making something different?there you go.[/quote] You idiot. You KNOW that was not what I was saying. I was asking a rhetorical question. I was asking the evolutionist WHY it hasn't changed. Your "spin" on my words have failed.

[quote]I can't "see" the wind, but I can believe in it's existence. I feel it on my face, I see the effects of it on the environment, etc. Just because it can't be seen, doesn't mean it isn't there.[/quote] [quote]Wind can be seen if it is dusty.... [/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] ...and even if it isn't it can be measured objectively.

[quote]I'm asking that pretty much everyone on the side of evolution, don't misquote the Bible. You don't know what you're talking about in that regardOf course I have. I've read the Bible, along with the Koran and several other religious texts, through and through. The OT details a God killing millions, rape, murder, and other acts that make the complaints about violence in video games by many "Christians" seem relatively absurd. It _is_ a death-god.You go by the NT, as I would assume Christian

Happy Earth Day, everyone! How are you going to spend the day? I am spending lots of time making useless trips in my gas guzzling SUV, letting my engine idle for hours on end, to pump as much CO2 into the atmosphere as possible. I have turned on all ALL the incandesant bulbs in my house, cranked up the AC, using up as much electricity as I can. I am gonna' pour some used oil from my gas-powered lawnmower right onto the dirt in the alley. I am going to

[quote]Forgiven, I'd feel like I should clarify on the whole God subject. I'm not saying that there is no God. All I'm saying is that I don't believe in a God because I see no reason to do so and I see no evidence for a God. Those are two different things.[/quote] I see plenty of evidence. Just look around. I guess it all boils down to where you place your faith. I can't "see" the wind, but I can believe in it's existance. I feel it on my face, I see the effects of it on the environ

[quote]"And for Forgiven, and any interested, the reason for the 6 (plus one) days of creation ? It is a picture of the history of man. Days are prophetically related to thousands of years. It has been approximately 6000 years since creation, which will be followed by the 1000 years ruled by the Price of Peace. (the day of rest)."So... the Earth is only 6000 years old? You really believe that?[/quote] And where does it say in the Bible that 1 day = 1,000 years? Maybe I am misunderst

[quote]Forgiven,I think that part of the problem is that your conflating two different scientific fields. One is evolution, the other is abiogenesis. Abiogenesis is the study of how life arose, evolution is the study of how life develops. They are related, but neither one requires the other to operate. Evolution says nothing about how life originated, nor does it need to. For modern evolutionary theory to work, all that is required is for life to exist.Now you can rant and rail at abiogenesis al

[quote]Heathens will be purged.I couldn't resist Seriously though, it is true. I stand with Forgiven in his statements. I believe the Bible is the testimony of the creator to his creation (as it claims to be). I base this belief on the evidence of things unseen (faith), as well as the evidence presented in the Bible. The God of the Bible claims that his calling card, his proof of authenticity, is the ability to foretell events. The two primary events foretold are the coming of Jesus Christ to Ea

[quote]Tekel59,If evidence through prophecy for the coming of Jesus and his divinity is so compelling, then why are there still Jews? They are their prophecies after all. Shouldn't they be the best and most authoritative people to judge whether or not Jesus fulfilled all those prophecies?[/quote] And if we evolved from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys around.

[quote]Forgiven, please, pretty please, try to read up on evolution. And not another anti-evolutionist pamphlet. The reason people get irritated is that you clearly have no grasp on the things you criticise. And you fail to listen any time someone points that out.[/quote] Please. Study the Scriptures. You have no grasp on the concept of God.

[quote]The theory of evolution is just the most logical conclusion available based observation and evaluation of the existing evidence that is available. There is a wealth of evidence to support it as the most logical and most plausible explanation for how things came to be.The only "evidence" that supports any sort of "intelligent design" or creationist theory is people's illogical belief in an imaginary, supposedly omniscient and omnipotent entity, as well as texts written thousands of years a

[quote]how did life begin?well because a bunch of protoaminoacids bunked together to form the firsts stransd of DNA... there that's how it started. The question how:In the natural sciences, abiogenesis, the question of the origin of life, is the study of how life on Earth might have emerged from non-life. Scientific consensus is that abiogenesis occurred sometime between 4.4 billion years ago, when water vapor first liquefied,[2] and 2.7 billion years ago, when the ratio of stable isotopes of ca

[quote]Forgiven, I have a question about seeing design in nature.One of the arguments you've used is that living things must have been designed because they are more complex than any of the machines we as humans have built, and all those machines were designed.However, hundreds of engineers have worked on our most complex machines (cars, airplanes, computers, etc). So, shouldn't living things, which by your own argument are even more complex, have to have been designed by many gods? Maybe thousa

[quote]Whoa, Forgiven, what's with the hostility?I'm sorry, but I can't tell you how life began. There are several hypotheses on the subject, but so far there is no Theory of Abiogenesis. And that's because so far we've gathered very little evidence on the subject, so it is not currently possible to determine which (if any) of those hypotheses are correct (and thus gain the title Theory). So, in short, I don't know.But, from your postings, it's clear that you believe God did it. So I'll ask agai

Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. (Matthew 6:5-6) [/quote] Thats what I do when I pray. But I am not praying here. When I pray, I am h
