Nice try. But do better. I'm simply looking for "the best explanation" for what we find. You, on the other hand, are looking for any possible answer except the obvious. Anyone who understands basic biology knows there is an appearance of design... there is a complex integration of systems that breaks down and doesn't work when you remove parts. We see engineers design things all the time. This isn't difficult to comprehend and is why the majority of the human race, now and throughout history has never been close to an atheist majority. Explain why random events over time is a better explanation that a designer when viewing complex integrated systems. Go ahead. If we found "welcome to mars" written on the surface of the planet Mars, NO ONE would accept that was random chance. People would say it's anything BUT random chance. They would think it was either humans who did it or aliens. Why? Because those 15 special characters (I'm including the spaces) that appear to relate to the English language are arranged in such a way as to appear to convey a complex idea: information. Could it be chance? I can't prove it's not. People would call me a fool for believing it occurred from random chance. They would be right. How did sexual reproduction evolve? Sexual reproduction involves TWO irreducibly complex systems (male and female) where the component parts of each, in and of themselves, bestow no advantage to the creature. There is no "preferential reproduction" necessary for your foolish theory until all the parts are together and working as an integrated system. Only working together (and with the complementary opposite sex parts) do they amount to anything helpful. How do two independent systems (male and female) that MUST integrate evolve at the same time and the same location so as to accomplish something without design? You think that's a better answer than design? If so, you're a fool. That's what the Bible says too. I pray God will open your eyes and save you from yourself and the idiocy of evolution that you only accept because you desperately want it to be true. I really do. Romans 1:22 "Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools"

@AshleySheatz @anahnemoo Praise the Lord sister. It’s not all that hard to identify those who know the grace of Christ and those who know religion. Praise the Lord for the family we have through Him.

I will never be ashamed of God’s amazing redemptive grace in my life!

@peterrhague @BenZeisloft What needs to be added? It’s amazing that sin overrules facts even for “scientists”. You were a zygote once. You just needed time and growth to become who you are today. Science is not subjective. You really should know that.

@BenZeisloft A zygote contains none of the properties that critically define humans

This is as ridiculous as the people pushing for elective abortions up to birth.

Wow. My job as a parent is to parent. My kids know that we have access to their devices anytime. My kids can 100% trust me to be their dad - not their best friend. That's trust. They can have grown up trust and privacy when they are out on their own and making their own way in life. While they are dependent on me for support, they are dependent on me for parenting. I have access to phones anytime I want them. They know that as a condition of getting the phone. We're honest up front. Trust isn't just letting kids have secrets in a world full of sin and predators. Trust is being open and honest about the rules and them knowing you love them enough to consistently live by those rules you set. I have no interest in what our dysfunctional culture thinks is best for kids. In fact, based on observation, I would do pretty much 180 the opposite of what our culture supports. Kids today are overwhelmingly self-absorbed, entitled, and feel cheated when everything isn't given to them. I'll take a hard pass on that. Thanks.

@megbasham “Ma’am”? It’s your child. I don’t believe having access to your 16 year old child’s cell phone to monitor texts is conducive for trust. I surely don’t think responding them is helpful towards their individuality or agency. If you want to be a shit parent go ahead lol

Monitoring your 16 year old child texts. Maybe reasonable. I’m torn. I think I would want my children to have privacy. But responding to them as if you’re the child - this is so fucking inappropriate

@PattyMurray The average person would NEVER vote democrat which is why you NEED fraud.

The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. Seriously. That's a real stat. I'm voting NO on the SAVE America Act.

@TayDoll1010xl I’ve just sent this to everyone. Great job!

Mine is also still perfect.

@SenSanders That's almost as much as your mansions.... 😱

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

@SenSchumer Not a single Democrats will support any kind of election integrity. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. If we did we’d never win. We also oppose investigations into fraud of any kind. We are all frauds ourselves. Fixed it for you.

Not a single Senate Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes.

Pastor, are you confusing the constitution with the Bible? Christians should be focused on biblical values like understanding that your Muslim friends are bound for hell and the need for them to repent and turn to Christ for salvation. Not champion their right to worship demons in the public square. Maybe you mean to be arguing what American citizen should be supporting, not what Christians should be supporting. They do not necessarily go hand-in-hand.

I’m a Christian pastor. I have Muslim friends. This is despicable. And as Christians, if the only religious liberty we fight for is Christianity, we have failed to love our neighbors as ourselves, as our Lord commanded us to.

@geo23589 @calvindanielsll @megbasham @BaptistLeaders Amen

@calvindanielsll @megbasham @BaptistLeaders Can't you see how the way you frame a subject affects how people think and feel about it? Having "black churches" is no less objectionable than having "white churches". Don't self-segregate. Just be churches with a lot of people with more melanin. Don't mention race at all.

This was @megbasham's goal with her disingenuous just asking if she was welcome. The truth doesn't matter to these people. It is an outright lie that this event is "racially segregated." Meg and @BaptistLeaders likely don't believe whites would be excluded. They want outrage.

@TayDoll1010xl Why “noooo”? Did you want him for Chicago?

noooooo

@JoshuaBarzon The tooth fairy.

Name something you trust more than the government.

@kylegriffin1 How do I vote for him? I’d vote for him twice if I were democrat.

Markwayne Mullin looks to be the only currently serving senator without at least a bachelor's degree.

@farmingandJesus Polls? I’m laughing and crying at the same time. Very sad to think that matters at all.

I would like to hear from you guys. This guy below (love him but disagree with him) Say the polls are in his favor of his belief that women are called to be pastors. What say you church? Should women be pastors?

Asymmetric Wars Are Different You don't measure an asymmetric war by saying you need to assassinate leaders to gain any advantage, especially when that includes opposition leaders. A war needs to be won on the theater of operations, not through political assassinations. You don't measure a war by the number of bombings. They need to be efficient enough to inhibit asymmetric actions, and that's far from happening due to Iran's size, the capillarity of its operations, and the scale of its arsenal. How can we talk about air superiority at this point? Iran's MiGs, despite being outdated, are all intact, and certainly many air defense units are still operating, which is why no one has entered Iranian airspace. No B-2 will penetrate Iran with MiG-29s in operation. And locating and neutralizing these MiGs, which can operate from any highway, takes some time. There are reports of a corvette sunk and a frigate damaged, but Iran still operates dozens of ships (corvettes, frigates, catamarans and robust patrol boats). It's too early to talk about the end of the war. Knowing what posture the Iranian navy will take is crucial for calculating the conflict's duration. The advantage in military power in an asymmetric war against Iran will always be with Israel-US, and that shouldn't be the parameter for calculating the conflict's duration, but rather Iran's capacity to sustain operations while wearing down a much larger power than its own. And we have to measure that capacity day by day, as Iran operates many underground bases it calls missile cities, replete with missiles and many silos across various cities. It's estimated that Iran still possesses 25 missile cities with up to 60 silos and launch points each, plus dozens of bunkers and tunnels also used for launches. Degrading Iran's capacity will be a gradual and exhausting task, with high costs for US-Israel. And it's not enough to bomb the surface structure, blocking the tunnels of these Iranian bunkers. At night, they reopen the entrances with internal machinery and carry out launches quickly. At the second day, the attacks with penetrating munitions on hangars is what Israel is doing, but at this stage of the war, I don't believe the planes are staying in hangars. The situation is much more complex and takes more time than that. It requires hundreds of drones rotating and monitoring all these installations 24/7, which doesn't exist yet. After four years, the Russians haven't been able to stop the Ukrainians from operating aircraft, and Iran is three times larger than Ukraine. Yesterday, Iran shot down a Hermes 900 drone. Even monitoring activities must be done in a way that avoids losing assets. There's a lot of fog of war in the air, giving the impression of the conflict's end when it's just at its beginning. We'll be talking about the final phase when Israeli and American planes are flying over Tehran and American ships are in the Strait of Hormuz. Now the question is about who will run out ammo,

@ggabefootball Amen

It took the Bears over a year to negotiate the school taxes with the district’s involved. Don’t trust a thing an Illinois politician ever says…. You know they are lying

@NeilShenvi Someone who hates the light putting up lightbulbs everywhere?? Get real.

Would you vote for a presential candidate who would implement *policies* that in perfect alignment with your preferences but who openly rejected and despised Christianity?

@ChrisGallegosNV @gina_sophiaa @Rachel__Nichols @TheHerd lol

@Jim7699 @gina_sophiaa @Rachel__Nichols @TheHerd A) You’re only saying this because you’re a right winger without a single critical thinking skill in your body. B) Why should a City/State pay for a billionaires new stadium? We have done it here in Vegas and the money that was supposed to go to giving teachers a raise paid 4 it

The not-Chicago Bears? Today the Bears released a statement saying how excited they were for their “vision” of a taxpayer-funded stadium in Hammond, INDIANA. Umm…nope. If you can’t afford to keep the team in Chicago, sell it. Period.

@gina_sophiaa @Rachel__Nichols @TheHerd Amen. Too many people with unrealistic views of the world. No amount of information will change their emotions.

@Rachel__Nichols @TheHerd Why don’t you call out our loser politicians that allowed it to get this far.

If the keep Halas hall in IL, then the business pays IL taxes. They would still be HQ in IL. Move HQ to IN and you pay IN taxes. Not just property taxes…. All taxes (income, property, etc…). If the Bears are finally going to run like a B$ business they are, it would make sense.

Mayor McDermott went as far as to say the Bears are considering moving Halas Hall as part of this project, which seems very hard to believe considering they just renovated and doubled the size of Halas Hall about five years ago.
