• Michael Carroll on Ken Miller on the Evolution of Humans

  "Our biochemistry is about 97% the same as a mouse.

  Our biochemistry is about 50% the same as a banana.

  Human Cytochrom 'C' is closest to that of a sunflower.

  Human eyes are closest to the eyes of an octopus.

  Human skin is closest to that of a pig."

  Explain to me, how this fits in with primates??? With all due respect, i think his aim with "god set it up that way" was meant to be an insult of some kind. He sounds very passionate about this subject and with passion comes biases. While i'm not researched in anyway on this specific argument, generally speaking i'm convinced these people only look at their "evidence" with one prospective; 1st proves evolution or doesn't.. They don't even consider any other possibility of what it could mean..Taken at face value because i don't know anything about the human gnome and could be missing key things due to pure ignorance. Start of video; You had plenty of time to research and form a "theory" on something then proceed to drop this well researched project on someone and expect them to refute you on the drop of dime?? I dont think you need a PHD to say; you should allow someone to try refute your findings within a respectable time frame. That seems like the most objective thing to do. Although i think this would show insecurity on "Ken's" part. (To have holes punched in something your just presenting would be kind embarrassing. or was it arrogance?) Rest of video: Sounds like its not an exact match, "within 15 bases", and something about Telomeres not belonging? The choice of "correspond with" instead of something like is "exactly like", implicates some differences as well?.. But i could be completely wrong.. "no reason, no rhyme" sounds like he is insulting the bible as well. Would be very interested in hearing a completely objective view on these findings..

• Denise on Trials and Tribulations with Ashley Furniture

  We bought a mattress and boxsprings from Ashley Home Furniture in Greenwood, IN. Originally, the salesperson said we were purchasing the floor sample which was why it was on sale. When I went to pay for the item, I was told it would be delivered in two weeks although we live literally two miles from the store. Three weeks later, I contacted the store to find out why we hadn't received the promised call about delivery and was given a specific delivery date one week later. I took off from work, never received that delivery call, and when I contacted the store, the manager told me the set was not on the truck from the factory as it was supposed to be. What? I thought we had purchased the floor model that was in the store. Long story short: we did receive the mattress and boxsprings approximately two months later, and although we like the bed itself, we will not shop at Ashley Home Furniture again.

• Jeff on Is there “Recovery” for the homosexual?

  Wow, Scott!

  I agree that your solution appears at first to be extreme, but Jesus would seem to support removing a body part if it would give relief from temptation. Your solution, though extreme, sounds like it has brought you exactly that kind of peace and relief. I would love to know more about your journey. Please send me a link to your book.

• Eli on You Can’t be Both Pre-Trib and Calvinist

  I am a pre-trib Calvinist. I don't understand why you think God couldn't rapture only those of his elect he had already saved. Matthew 24 does not say if all the elect or just some will be raptured. You imply that God doesn't favor some of his elect over others but this doesn't make sense; if God favors the elect over the non-elect, then why can't he favor some of the elect over others. Also if God doesn't favor some of the elect over others then why do some of the elect have to suffer so much in this life, while others are relatively comfortable.
