"EVOLUTION is an origin theory. It is the same in CREATION theory. A fable, a myth, a fairy tales!"

As you don't know the difference between a myth and a theory I will try to educate you. A theory is a scientific term. It's a model based upon observation and other facts that is intended to explain a particular aspect of the universe. Evolution is an example of this. A myth is an ancient story usually religious in origin (not scientific)involving gods and magical events. That's creation.

If money is at stakes, then, errors or mistakes are permissible. But if life is at stakes, then, errors are not allowed. 0 or 1000000000000%. Use ur mind my friend.

Only stupid people think they know something "1,000,000 correct". You are a prime example.

well:
E=MC^2
so mass can be converted to energy, so why not the outer way around?

In fission and fusion energy is realised, and the out mass is less then the in mass.

Dan Summers of Lynchburg, VA owns Quality Archery Design. I am a machine shop owner and tool maker. I built some prototype tooling for Dan. He wrote me a $10,000 bad check and he also shop lifted close to $4,000 worth of tools and jigs then laughed in my face. The judicial system would do nothing to him becouse he was a Jerry Farwell worshiper. He was above the law. Actually I was the only one charged in the incident. He charged me with phone harassment for calling him about my stolen property.

" Would you as a son not see a problem with your Dad being gay?"

I had to face that scenario with my mother. It was a difficult adjustment to make I won't lie. But the relationship she is in now is better for her than any other she ever had. Family is about support and acceptance. Someone who does not understand that has a problem.

"Dawkins would see nothing wrong if your father came home 1 night and said. He was now a homosexual."

At what point did Dawkins' presentation have anything to do with homosexuality?
