I need your help

I will be in Washington DC this coming weekend, and I would like to visit the Smithsonian Institute to take pictures of the evidence for evolution.

I am aware of "The Evolution Trail" that will tell me why they believe giraffes have long necks and why they think flowers have many colors. I am also aware of "The Evolution of Evolution" display which has "Specimens from the Museum’s diverse collections, along with documentation from our ongoing research." But I want to find empirical evidence for

Toast or eggs?

"God knows that I will have eggs for breakfast tomorrow. I don't -- I haven't made up my mind yet. But when I wake up in the morning and select eggs for breakfast, was it ever possible for me to choose otherwise? Either I can not choose toast instead of eggs, or God was incorrect when He saw that I would pick eggs. And we all know that God is never wrong...So where is my free will?" Alphgeek

Either God exists, or He doesn’t. To say that there is no Creator means that everything happened by chanc

The age of the universe

"Dear Ray I have a question for you, considering God made the world and the universe in six days and considering He created Adam in about 4004 BC why is it that scientists say that the most distant planets are over 20,000 light years away. This means that the light from these planets has been traveling in space for 20,000 years, far longer than the universe has existed even if you count a day of creation as a 1000 years?"

I have no idea of the exact date in which God created the universe or when

The coverup

"Just where in the Bible does God say that it's wrong to 'show half-naked teenagers lying on top of each other in sexually explicit positions?' Didn't God make us born naked? Didn't God make sex? Comfort sounds like a loyal member of the Taliban."

The above reaction was typical of many, when I spoke of once covering up pornography on a billboard in my neighborhood with a large orange blanket. I was accused of wanting to cover up women with "burkas."

On the contrary, there’s nothing at all wrong w

Willful damage

Designer Calvin Klein has placed what is being called a "racy" new advertisement on a huge five-story-high billboard on a Manhattan building in New York City. It shows half-naked teenagers lying on top of each other in sexually explicit positions.

Sex not only sells jeans, it gets massive free publicity on CBS primetime. CBS "The Early Show" (June 15th) more than willingly scrolled over and zoomed into the lusty billboard an amazing sixteen times, as the show’s host interviewed an expert on why

Nothing-to-Primate-to-Man

"[Ray wrote:] 'If you think that's bad, try this: there are crazies out there that truly believe that women are related to primates, and those primates came from nothing.'

"All women, and all men, are primates by biological definition. Acceptance of this biological definition is not evidence of mental instability, thus your accusation that such individuals are 'crazy' is wholly unfounded. Who, specifically, holds a belief that primates emerged from 'nothing'? Please identify specific individuals,

From Aristotle to Adam

The subject of why men have nipples has arisen lately. Of course, this is nothing new. The issue has caused much speculation from Aristotle to Darwin, no doubt way back to Adam. I’m sure that believers in evolution would say that male nipples are probably vestigial in nature. Men perhaps suckled offspring. In The Descent of Man, Darwin suggests the possibility that "long after the progenitors of the whole mammalian class had ceased to be androgynous, both sexes yielded milk, and thus nourished t

The Atheist's opinion

The Atheist’s opinions as to why lying is wrong were varied, but interesting. B. Pierce thought that it is wrong to lie "because it ends up harming people." Therefore, I presume that his opinion is that lying is morally okay if no one is harmed. Someone else said, "In your case, lying over an academic matter, there are no legal issues. There is just the assumption that no one caught lying in academia will ever be taken seriously again, founded on the basis that honesty is essential for academia

Your opinion

I think I might be coming down with a case of swine flu. Sue took a picture of me last night. What do you think?For Evangelism Resources, please visit LivingWaters.com.

A question for Atheists

In reference to my lost post, Atheists responded by saying:

"Ray, you're just lying. There is no way you could be stupid enough to believe what you wrote. You're a liar, and the lies you are telling should be transparently obvious even to your flock."
"Bearing false witness is a full time job for you. How do you get anything else done?"
"Liar."
"You know that you're lying when you say that Dr. Dawkins believes in aliens."
"Stop lying."
"You are lying, Mr. Comfort."
"Sorry Ray but there is no way what
