Why people laugh at Creationists

[Dave Lane]

Taking a lead from Killer Clown I thought I'd create a alternative thread to post some videos I like...

[EDIT New video here]

So on with the show:

Here's the Kent Hovind Theory:



"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions simply because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

I would like to know where the Rapture was taught to believers before Margaret Mcdonald.

John Darby
Emmanuel Lacunza

.a man nemd John Bray offered five hundred dollars to anyone who could prove your question..when Lacunza was offered up, he then offered five hundred dollars to anyone who could prove it being taught before Lacunza...no one claimed the money, but he released a statement admitting he received photstat copies of the very subject from a book published in Philly in the late 1700's, but written in England the mid 1700's...this no coincidence that this happened around the birth of our Nation, because ultimately..we brought the Gospel to the whole world.

What book is that? A gigantic majority had never heard of the doctrine until the late 1800's.

Hey who wouldn't like the rapture? No pain? I would happily take it if it were true.

REMEMBER THAT THE MODERN RAPTURE THEORY WAS STARTED BY A 15 YEAR OLD CATHOLIC GIRL IN ENGLAND BY THE NAME OF MARGARET MAC DONALD IN 1830 WHO HAD A VISION.

The following is quoted from a book by Dave MacPherson (historian) called THE RAPTURE PLOT:

"What generally hasn't been known about Margaret is the extent to which she was open to the world of the 'occult' (definition: 'secret or hidden knowledge of supernatural phenomena').

...Take the word 'rapture'. Many still don't know that this word (body-lifting sense) had been used for CENTURIES by medieval mystics to describe their own levitation a few inches (or even several feet) above the floor or ground. Such 'raptures' were often condemned by Catholic leaders... And Robert Norton, the pretrib origin chronicler, revealed the following about Margaret and one of her friends: 'I have seen both her and Miss Margaret MacDonald stand like statues scarcely touching the ground, evidently supernaturally'." (pp. 51-52).
