Great meme! Upvote shower for achristos and you!

I can't believe I used to think he was cool and had brains when I was a kid. Then again, I was just a kid.

Yep

Jimmy kimmel looks like special olympics n ken jeong had a baby

the only thing chum notices is pie

lol

Chum has case of munch

She acted in the film Pootie Tang and no one called her out for that.

[image deleted]Your being kind in saying she acted

Yeah, go figure! One does not call out a gay black female and presuppose his or her career will go unscathed.

Double standard

Well, to be fair, he isn't black and calling a white person any kind of primate isn't the same thing as calling a black person a primate.

We didn't evolve from monkeys, we were created.

That is not what is taught in the progressive school system.

Of course it isn't. But just because something is taught in school doesn't mean it's fact. But agree to disagree, I guess. I just find it more plausible that we were created by a higher, more intelligent being.

I agree with you. But when society sets a standard and pushes out teaching "intelligent design" than we as a whole need to accept the consequences. I do not even like Rosanne and I did not watch the show. I also did not vote for Trump either.

I believe God's word over man, but you already know where I stand on this issue.

We needed an intelligent designer? I hear that so much..lol..By that logic? your imaginary intelligent designer requires it's own intelligent designer. Why can't people grasp the stupidity of their dead end circular illogical theories..

You assume he (God) is bound by and limited by the same time and space as we are. He doesn't need an intelligent designer because he created everything and does not live within our time.

You are assuming it's a he????? That arrogant assumption alone is enough to disregard anything you have to say. Let alone all the other empty and circular arguments delusional people spew..You believe in something for no factual reason. The bible does NOT prove the validity of the bible. Only you can go bang your head against a wall a few hundred times and come to your senses. its step though? actually READ the bible front to back..And if you can't grasp that its just a fictional story over flowing with false hoods and Contradictions you are truly lost

Yes, God is a "he" in the sense that the Bible (the true written word of God) mentions Him as a "he." He isn't a human being, so our brains register "he" as a human man. Jesus is the Son of God and He came to Earth born as a man.

I'm not telling you that you need to believe what I believe and I am not going to continue talking about this on a meme that isn't mine and has nothing to do with religion. But no one said you need to do anything. It's your choice whether you believe in a higher power or not.

I find it plausible that your mind is being controlled by one superior, higher intelligent being. You can still be Christian while believing in science.

True. But you want to stick to natural science as opposed to theoretical science.

Yep, Created through evolution..

So you are just ignoring hundreds of years of science just to hang on to your strange religious ideas? I'm a catholic, and I know people who don't believe in evolution and believe that the earth was created 6,000 years ago and whatever. I can believe in years of scientific discoveries over what the Bible says and still be Catholic. Get your head out of the clouds, son. Maybe god created things when the universe began 13 million years ago, but he didn't create them 6,000 years ago. People riding dinosaurs! The Flintstones dream is real, sheeple!

Jesus... learn what evolution is you muppet. We didn't evolve from monkeys.

I never said we did. Perhaps you responded to the wrong comment.

Of all the comments I posted on this meme that essentially agreed with your line of thinking and you comment on the only one that you disagree with...I guess this proves my point that you really are a troll on here.

Well, you posted it to the wrong comment then, because it was attached to mine.

hmm, seems you got one too, ok it was to him with sarcasm and to the idea with the rest of it. apologies for the confusion

That deserves an upvote. Thanks.

You could agree with some one on 99 things in a row and on the 100th? BOOM Your just a pos who needs to get out of their country..

Yes, he can. Just like you or anyone else can and DID.
How does what he said make Spurs "just a pos who needs to get out of their country.." ?

laonsite replied to his comment, and Spurs then replied to him. To which laonsite then clarified his was an accident since the comment was meant for another memer.

Mind you, that concerned this comment, which was along the lines of what I had been thinking of posting (adding the aspect of historical context) before I saw his comment:

"SpursFanFromAround
Well, to be fair, he isn't black and calling a white person any kind of primate isn't the same thing as calling a black person a primate."

You attack him and christine7, even as they remain respectful to you.
I myself have posted comments disagreeing with them in the past, but only in the manner they addressed me. Doesn't excuse me when I get snide, but there is nothing to warrant you just kicking at them simply because you disagree.

Upvote for you! Although the comment timer is making me wait another...

Thanks. I just replied to what you said below also.

Yeah, I'm a major asshole, but I don't hop from comment to comment insulting people for no reason. I like to pretend I have a reason to, haha!

What's your timer? Normal is 175 seconds, I think.

For once I can agree with you.

Zonkees! You got me with my own self deprecating comment!
The pain.... must..... get to.... the.... medicine cabinet...

LOL! I know the feeling!
The timer varies. Sometimes it's an eternity (175 seconds) and this time it was about 30 seconds. No rhyme or reason that I can figure...

I was just upvoting you now a bunch in case it was bad.

I always have 175, so figured it was the norm. Then again, I've done my part to get on the bad side of many, so I reckon I earned that wait.

Point of sale?

Impossible to tell if this is a serious question or not.
Excuse me if you're just being funny. On the off-chance you're serious:
POS= piece of shit

Ohhhhh I haven’t used that one....

That's one of the few I DO know. LOL
I'm a REALLY old school grammarian. I get super-frustrated when it comes to people using abbreviations in their replies. Partly due to the fact I've never owned a smart phone, nor have I ever texted on a borrowed one. And partly due to the fact I'm too old and stubborn a dog to easily learn new tricks.

Dinosaurs didn't exist. That's a fraud to push evolution.

There is no way you can actually believe what you are saying..lololol..your just getting a rise out of people...Good job

Who cares what I believe if it's not hurting anyone?

Fascinating topic, isn't it?

2 WORDS..ALT-RIGHT And Christianity has a bloody Immoral past and a current bloody immoral sinning present. Enjoy your delusional of denial and deflection

So does the rest of humanity since, well, they evolved. Even going back to when microbes began feeding on other microbes, or just consuming non living material - the activity of life is destructive.

What does that have to do with her belief? Other than her faith giving people cause to refrain from engaging in excessive and unnecassary destruction?

To claim only Christianity was/is bloody is a purposely deluded denial, and (intentionally) naive defelection.

Thank you.

Enjoy yours!

The "fossils" were found after Darwin postulated on their existence in the 19th century. No one has been allowed to see the actual "fossils". You can only see a sculpted "reproduction" in museums. The only people who "found" these "fossils" were the ones that had a vested interest in finding them.

You're welcome!

Thanks! LOL

Yes all over the world, fossils were planted 10's 100s' thousands of feet down. You should go dig some up, it would be fun and educational for you. https://www.homegrownfun.com/fossil-hunting-make-fossil/

I'm old, what can I say?

You obviously haven't evolved much from monkeys.

I'm a child of the Living God. So, no, I'm not a monkey descendant.

You might want to research the topic and do a little critical thinking of your own instead of getting triggered.

Sounds like we're both on the same mission.

What? Your head isn't just in the clouds, it's in heaven. You are too focused on god to even realize that dinosaurs exist?? Get out of your basement and learn something.

If you still feel the term is universal do a little social experiment. Call a group of black people monkeys and call a group of white people monkeys and see what happens.

Blacks will be MORE offended. Christians? Well they are to turn the other cheek but don't..

Christians turn the other cheek more than you realize. We don't go around beheading people for insulting Jesus Christ. We just pray for you.
Don't forget, there are people who claim to be Christian, but don't act it.

Have you actually tried to do that? They might just pity you and pray over you to help you with your anger issues. That is, if your inner demons would even allow you to step through the church doors. Go on, give it a whirl.

I don't have to prove to you that demons exist. You could research the topic and make up your own mind. But you have to set aside your bias when doing the research.
No one is denying that the Church has a violent past, due to being taken over by evil people, but that is still the past. Now, the warfare is spiritual. The battle against evil is done through prayer, because "we wrestle not with flesh and blood...".

My demons are telling me I should have nuked a bag of popcorn to munch while reading these comments! XD

bias, uhm?
29mmw6.jpg (click to show)

Uhm, the bias you have against Christians, Jesus Christ, and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I can't believe I have to point that out to you.

Just tell them that they are taking it out of context.

Yeah, I am pretty sure you would be pretty safe. Or do you think the homeless that take shelter in churches are always incredibly polite and devout christians?

And I'm referring to the fact that christian churches take care of homeless people, many of who are rude and atheist, yet you don't hear about them beating homeless people half to death. Really mostly pointing out the downright bigotry and ignorance of your comment that Christians are historically violent. The truth is the complete opposite, and history shows it.

Virtually all of the acts of bigotry you are putting at the feet of the christians happened CENTURIES ago. Being afraid of them killing you for suspected witchcraft is like being scared that the pope is going to crucify you. It's not an honest fear. In the last century, the Red Cross or aid groups have been significantly more emblematic of the religion than say.. the inquisition. Or should native americans and current white americans still be afraid they're going to scalp each other even though it hasn't happened in decades and decades?

"Christians in the United States attack and murder people at abortion clinics. They make death threats to workers and doctors there. They attack LGBT people."
Does that even compare to this? http://www.worldometers.info/abortions/

We didn't evolve from monkeys, we have a common ancestor.

I wouldn't call someone a genius sarcastically when you yourself believe everything that exists came from an explosion that started by nothing trillions of years ago.

And do you have more than just 6 meme templates at your disposal, or are you just lazy and can't look for a wider range? Asking for a friend.

The kangaroos wouldn't have been created in Australia.

God created the entire earth, which includes Australia. He also created everything on the earth, so the kangaroos would have been created in Australia, which is considered their natural habitat; kangaroos are indigenous to Australia. The Bible says that the Lord brought the animals to Noah, so they wouldn't have had to migrate on foot all the way. He could've carried them to the ark Himself, or have His angels gather specimens of all of the animals from the four corners of the earth and carry them there. The article below estimates 75 years maximum to build the ark, so even if the animals were just herded there by God and/or His angels, that should give them plenty of time to get there on foot.
https://answersingenesis.org/bible-timeline/how-long-did-it-take-for-noah-to-build-the-ark/

Loved to have seen feeding time for tse tse flies and mosquitoes.

Oh, no reply option for your comment to me below.

The Bible does not specifically state that the animals were all over the world. It does say they were named by Adam, so at least at first they were all in the some general area. I think they spread out when the people did, after the Flood. (More specifically the Tower of Babel.

1. Boats have been around for a looooong time.
2. Before the Flood, the world was vastly different. Conditions could have been different from now. And who's to say God didn't just keep them alive until they got to their destination?

No problem with my argument because I don't know if God did it "scientifically". I'm hypothesizing.
1. Farfetched...? Okay. So is a nuke made of nothing creating the world.
2. The Flood. That would be the thing that carved all those gorges canyons etc. that most people say "were carved out over millions and billions of years and stuff. Who knows just how drastically things could have changed.

Okay fine. Nuke made of inexplicable things that blew up everything and created life.

There are variables. You can't say the ground everywhere would be equally cut away by the water.

You just complained in another comment that I don't have scientific explanations or proof, so which is it? The Bible says He BROUGHT them there, but doesn't go into detail to explain HOW He brought them there. The Bible doesn't say that God spoke a word and they just appeared in front of Noah. That's different from being "brought" there.
Also, a world-wide flood would've wiped out evidence.

Good point christine7. :)

I still have not got an actual answer for this...

http://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/behavior/footprints/laetoli-footprint-trails

Speaking of footprints, what do you think of these?

After over five years of intensive research on this issue, I have concluded that no genuine human tracks have been found in the Paluxy riverbed.

- page 18 -
Afterword
I would like to clarify my position on the creation-evolution controversy and my reasons for researching and reporting on the Paluxy evidence.

I prefer not to be labeled a creationist or an evolutionist, since I do not fully identify with all of the tenets often assumed to typify each camp. I am a Christian and believe in the Creator but have not yet formed definite conclusions about some aspects of the origins controversy, such as the exact age of the earth or the limits to biological change. However, on some issues that I have studied in depth, such as the Paluxy controversy, I have formed definite conclusions, as explained in this article. I chose to publish my research in Creation/Evolution not to attack creationism but to help set the record straight on the true nature of the Paluxy evidence.

https://ncse.com/cej/6/1/summary-taylor-site-evidence

Yes, gravity is a theory. I can drop a rock to test that. Can you live “millions of years” to test evolution? Because obviously, that’s what is required...

Hey, now, I never said anything about flat earth. I’m not THAT crazy... X D

Hey, why don’t I have a reply option to your last comments?

Nice hominid tree. I’m convinced!

Not trying to be mean, btw. I know neither one of us are going to change their minds on the subject. Just a little poking fun.
; p

So did these ancient people dig up the bones and recreate them with skin on, or are they fake too?

Javier Cabrera Darquea collected and popularized the stones, obtaining many of them from a farmer named Basilio Uschuya. Uschuya, after claiming them to be real ancient artifacts, admitted to creating the carvings he had sold and said he produced a patina by baking the stone in cow dung.

Wet them and you'll see. Dinosaur's. The toe prints aren't deeply embedded, so not as easily seen. When the area is wet, you can see them.

Ok, those were human footprints. So if the “common ancestor” was human, how does that prove evolution?

Still can’t answer the question? The other memer on here says it’s an “ancestral ape”. Which is still basically a monkey. Is he wrong?

Can you stop doing that? You been told how many times that apes are not monkeys, yet persist in repeating it.
You must be trolling.

Oh yeah, Harry Potter has no place in our schools. That, and Twilight.

Like this one?- https://youtu.be/5FR08QtvapM

They're attempts by satanist authors/publishers to brainwash children into practice sorcery, witchcraft, and blood-drinking/cannibalism (devaluing human life) under the guise of role-play. A vast majority of children (if the parents are stable and responsible) won't be affected, but there is that neglected, abused minority that will take it to the extreme with the intent to escape, or gain power and control.

1. The devil is a trickster. He makes witchcraft look fun and harmless.
2. That's your opinion.
3. I was referring to Twilight.

But it has been, and more rapidly than thought.

From Darwin finches blown on a Galapagos isle a few years ago they had not been prior evolving thicker beaks to eat harder seeds there in just a few generations, to anoles left on a few tiny uninhabited Bahama isles to study population pressures without predators in the 1980s which consequently evolved in a few years to adapt to local conditions. The ones on more windswept islands with less shrubs - shorter limbs, the ones with more cover and less wind - longer limbs.
The same has been observed with flying dragon lizards in the Phillipines, but with the eons of years to turn them into new species. Those on windier small islands have shorter limbes and shorter rib & membranes. This makes is less likeley for them to get blown into the water or rocks, etc.

Ocean going steamer ducks are fully capable of flight, which one third do do. Another third do but rarely, and the rest never do at all.

Speaking of thirds, same goes for the human female's orgasm - 1/3 easily, 1/3 on occasion, aand 1/3 never, no matter how much effort put into that.

Now why would an intelligent designer design something like that?

So where is the change from species to species again? And why can’t I get a simple answer on what a “common ancestor” is?...

[image deleted] There is no simple common ancestor, since evolution isn't a simple "ancestor diverges into proto chimp and australopithecine." Yup, not a mere "Lucy is the missing link" since evolution is a series of gradually E-V-O-L-V-I-N-G changes, not a species change op at the hospital.

Wanna see evolution? Whistle. When your Yorkie comes running, take a close look, because the Bible says he does not exist (some 'and none shall come to pass nor come to be' line re: species).

So it evolved from the monkey species then...

Not a monkey.

Not a chimp.

An ancestral ape.

That ape has been gone 8 - 10 million years.

Looks like its selfies got lost in the flood.

Ape it is then! Why can’t they just say ape instead of “common ancestor”? So it won’t sound so ridiculously funny? But wait, isn’t an ape just a big ass monkey? They are all the same species...

So with that same reasoning, there are many species of humans, correct?

Okay, maybe the word species is not the right word. There may be many species of wolves, and species of dogs, but they are all in the canine family. An ape is not a monkey, but aren’t they in the same family, or kind? That’s the classification I’m talking about. Like in the hominid tree you posted, what was the transitional “family” or “kind” that evolved into a hominid? I’m really trying to understand how you guys think on this.

Oh, you’re right, that was iaonsite. Anyway, I’m just trying to find out how we got from a fish to a hominid. It’s not like there are any artistic renderings to show how this could have happened. The common image we see of the chimp to man progression is ridiculous if the chimp camefrom another branch entirely. If evolution were true, as in all life forms arising from one-called organisms in the sea, at one point there would have to be a transition from an aquatic animal with fur, (like an otter or beaver), to a land animal which somehow becomes the “common ancestor” which branches off to a chimp and then man. Am I right, or am I missing something here?

That's how it was done when I went to school. It helps develop critical thinking.

That’s microevolution. Bacteria evolves into new bacteria. Still bacteria. Birds, lizards and dogs evolve into different, (and maybe more adaptive to their environment), birds, lizards and dogs. We cannot observe macroevolution. A change form one species to another has never been observed, so still must be “believed”.

It does say a fish evolves into a mammal, and then into a human, correct?

That doesn’t explain how the organisms originated in the first place. If there were sea creatures and land animals appearing simultaneously, without arising from each other, then creation is a better explanation. It can’t be both ways. If land dwelling animals did not originate from those of the sea, how did they get there? Help me to understand this. (And please, don’t post links. If you can’t explain it to me in simple terms, I’m not sure if you fully understand it yourself.)

Okay, I googled it. I did some reading. All I saw were plants evolving into more plants, insects into insects, fish into fish, dogs into dogs. Which is microevolution. If the “theory of evolution, (which is still theory, not fact, as its taught in school), doesn’t say that a bird would evolve into a dog, or vise versa”, what does it say? If it doesn’t mean a jump from one species to another, how did we get from fish to land dwelling mammal, from that to apes, and then apes to man? Observing micro doesn’t prove macro. There should be millions of transitional fossils that prove it, but there’s not. And doesn’t it say that dinosaurs evolved into birds?

Thank you for your detailed response. You make it sound pretty convincing. I see how the world has bought it. (Especially when it comes with the benefit of not having to be accountable to a higher power). But adding “millions of years” that no one has seen, always seems to be the magic ingredient. And fossilization is not a rare occurrence, nor does it take a long period of time to produce.

I know that there are many who believe in God and evolution, but I am just not convinced. I see more evidence for creation, and a loving creator.

True. There's a difference not a double standard this time

;^)

To actually be fair, that's moral relativism and complete bullshit.

If you looked into the history of the term and the significance of the insult as it relates to certain groups of people, you would then realize that what I said is not "complete bullshit."

Okay, I actually had the same confusion as grayantimatter, because I knew you were a Christian and didn't think you would say something based on moral relativism. So basically, you are saying that the insult is not worse in its plain meaning, but rather in the implications it carries in our culture?

The history behind the meaning of calling a black person "ape" is why I look at it as being worse of an insult than calling a white person who has spray on tan and orange orangutan.

What is the significance of the insult as it relates to people of predominately Persian decent?

Also, it's still moral relativism, so it's still complete bullshit.

I was referring to Roseanne comparing a black person to an ape. As for insulting the President and calling him an orange orangutan, I don't really care about that. That insult seems to aim more toward his orange-ish appearance and goofy look than his natural skin color.

So it isn't comparative.

Valerie Jarrett..."Black"

Actually, I do find it insulting to be compared to an orangutan. We are all human, not animals. I've been accused of having orange skin myself, btw. Comes from being a ginger with a Texas suntan.
BTW, no one thought VJ was a black person until they looked in up in Wiki...like that's a reliable source...VJ has said she is "Iranian by birth".

Which is why Roseanne said she was a mix of the Muslim Brotherhood and planet of the apes.

And I do understand the Texas suntan as I have lived here since the early 90's.

Judging from your user name you must live in my hometown, San Antonio. Go Spurs!

I live in Kerrville. You know where that is?

I do know where that is. I have a brother living there.

Yeah, it's a nice little town. I'm blessed to be living here for sure. Some people hate it here, but I think it's mostly the potheads and some of the younger kids that don't like it here.

I live in Kerrville. You know where that is?

Well, I'mnot nearly old enough to retire, but I would say so. I've got another 25 years. lol
