I'm sitting in Scarfe, trying to translate a letter written by the Roman Emperor Claudius - tough shit, believe me.
Beside me two asian ladies are having a conversation.
It's about creation and evolution.
The one girl is telling the other that Darwin became a Christian later on in life, and he repented and regretted having ever made the theory of evolution.
I'm sorry lady, but that is pure bullshit.
Darwin never converted later in life.
Darwin never regretted his theory of evolution.
I bet one of the girls has had evangelism training. She's got her Bible with her. She's pumping out the Gospel of John. She's got all the lines: "can you see air? can you see radio waves? can you see an invisible God?" She even has evangelistic tracts. Yep - she's definitely had the evangelism training.
You want to tell people about Jesus? Be my guest; he's an important dude. The story of his life changes people's lives to this very day. And walking in his Way is a choice I myself have made for my own life. But, please, don't spread hearsay and false stories to try and convert people. If Jesus is worth anything, he can attract people on his own merits. He doesn't need people to lie for him.
But, alas, I keep my mouth shut.

P.S. Why do people bother? Evolution is a damn good theory. It makes sense of a LOT of data that we have (geological, biological, etc...). It does exactly what a theory is meant to do: explain the data. And it does this much more gracefully than Creationist attempts, with much less conjecture. I smell another post?

I sense that alot of the times Christians are plane too nieve. So what if Darwin was a Christian? What about people like Ms.Spears or Mr.Bush? Don't they say they are Christian? I think using humanly examples for our day,(especially the famous ones) don't work. I believe God recognized that, or else he could have just given a bible to us not with examples of his deeds, but rather just descrbing his power. (Get where I'm heading with this?)
Much more debate to come...

I do agree on that we going to the poll station again is not far away. Harper has a much harder job to do than the Liberals 18 months ago. However, I think he is able to do it. No body in the government wants to screw Canada...although they do want to pocket some of our hard earn money...I guess it's time for the Liberals to go for a holiday and come back with something better.
Anyway...how does God go on and do his work if no one goes and speak to these people? I'm just wondering, haha...what that woman said might be outrageously wrong, but you never know...the other woman might just be as naive as her and take it all in and actually "believe", hahaha!
