You're so tolerant. I love how you let people? believe what they want no matter how much you disagree with it. You're not arrogant at all

Judging by the ...
Judging by the comments section,? a religious war has been raging. Can I just say, on behalf of Christians, we're not all retarded. Equally, there's no need to constantly bad-mouth religion because that can make you seem just as closed-minded =)

@ElProximo by the way, according to me, God is a hidden treasure, it means, who get meet Him don't get? prove it.

@ElProximo Did you ...
@ElProximo Did you know what epistemological barriers are?; all human being needs feel security about its own worldview, therefore, all person get defensive quickly? as soon this one detects a menace related with its worldview, this kind of fears help to keep epistemological barriers between different persons. Paul discourse in Athena Areopagus was more empathic than defensive (Facts 17)

@ElProximo: ...
@ElProximo: Christian apologetic is just in case; the? most of time it does not must be used.

@ElProximo : Sooner ...
@ElProximo : Sooner or later you will realize you have been wasting a valuable time on useless discussions. Let me give you a advice: show your point and keep quiet. There is a psychological? mechanism which close mind as soon it detects a threat.

@ElProximo My point ...
@ElProximo My point in relation of "convinced people" is more basic than yours. A lot of people go to church every sunday, however, a really tiny group from them would die for Jesus. Keep in mind human being is religious by nature. I observe creationist-evolutionist controversy from southamerican viewpoint: In USA this kind? of issue has political implications, but here, it's only a personal choosing.

@ElProximo : show ...
@ElProximo : show your point? and shut up please.

@ElProximo A huge ...
@ElProximo A huge lot of discussion about origin of life during last 150 year have not achieved a simple agreement between creationist and evolutionist...why do you that you can? "win" all discussions?, why do you think that any one thinks a discussion with you worth the effort?...

if you would lay ...
if you would lay the Hebrew text (like the masoretic text) next to today's translations the text's would differ like a work of Tolkien and of J.K Rowling. they would be in the same genre, but their is where the similarity's end. so i am not that? surprised they would change such a thing. ancient text are so much better when unedited by bigots.

people tend to repeat what they learned in a biology when having discussions about biology. ?

@ElProximo so if a croc is a dinosaur. what is a bird? according to you they must be the same because they have scales, lizard face, tails, lay eggs... what about the? bird? ever look at their feet? its scaly lizard feet. what is a bird??? lizard? mammal? its got f**king scales. look at the feet of a EMU. and f**king tell me thats not dinosaur feet. i dare you to tell me there is no evolution after you see an EMU feet.

@ElProximo ...
@ElProximo Leviathan is? one of the seven princes of Hell and its gatekeeper (see Hellmouth). The word has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In classical literature (such as the novel Moby-Dick) it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale."

Cool dinosaur video ...
Cool dinosaur video. Anyone got wind that the Founder of Prehistoric Channel has written his first thriller book. THE ICE GORILLA. I read that? movie producers are trying to turn THE ICE GORILLA book into a movie. I'd love to see Jurassic Park IV and THE ICE GORILLA in movie theaters.

@ElProximo uhh no? ...
@ElProximo uhh no? you can go buy his book and read it yourself, hes not being misquoted. and hes not the only one, other hebrew scholars agree that it was talking about the penis. and who are you to say im wrong in my own translation? you dont even know hebrew, and you sure as hell dont know how to read it. you're just mad that the bible you? know doesnt have the same meaning as the hebrew version so you're making random accusations that everyone is lying in some conspiracy against creationists.

@ElProximo wait, ...
@ElProximo wait, you dont even know who stephen mitchell is, yet you're claiming hes wrong and? somehow you know better? he is widely known for his translations and went to yale. and you're saying he would purposely translate it wrong just to disprove some random creationist idea? northrop frye, was quoted in the new york times as calling stephen mitchell's book of job "a very direct translation." you see that? "direct". he didnt use the tail euphemism like the king james version.

@ElProximo Both ape ...
@ElProximo Both ape and hominoidea are forms of zoological taxonomy (obviously), and while the terms have been? expanded or retracted based on evidence (yes including apes, it was changed because it would be disingenuous *not* to include humans), it is not logical to say these terms are applied arbitrarily. All the terms are based on empirical similarities, and sifted into their specific positions based on where they are *most* similar. Not because they have a similarity, like bipedalism.

@ElProximo that is ...
@ElProximo that is what it sounds like when you read the old hebrew and many scholars including stephen mitchell agree. thats even what i thought it was talking about when i read it as a kid. so you cant just go irate and claim its fake, lie, antichristian, etc. just because it doesnt fit with your personal beliefs. no translation is perfect, some words and meaning are always going to be lost. and? since the bible has been translated, edited, and re-translated so many times its no surprise.

@ElProximo ...
@ElProximo Hominoidea is real term. It is the Superfamily that includes all hominoids (monkeys, gorillas, humans etc), and "ape" is? the "common" term including all those members (yes, including humans). You might as well check your validity (i.e. google it) before attacking someone's integrity for it.
