The ToE depends upon the notion of hybrids and mutants. Even Darwin himself expressed dismay over
the lack of evidence wrt intermediate species. That's a biggie. It means that if there is no
evidence of intermediate species then the whole theory of evolution itself is in question. Hence
"hybrids" temporarily relieves the frustration of evolutionists in that they can say that hybrid
races didn't hang around long enough to leave good fossil proof, but did live long enough to produce
the next "species" in the evolutionary chain so to speak.
"As discussed earlier in this paper, Darwin considered the general absence of forms intermediate
between species to be a difficulty with his theory of speciation. I pointed out that his defense of
the theory lay mainly in explaining why the data did not exist rather than convincing the reader
that intermediate forms ever did exist. The mechanism of speciation by selection against the hybrids
provides a more direct answer as to why intermediate forms generally do not exist between species."
http://www.iorg.com/speciation.html#Modern%20Theory%20Natural%20Selection
Basically, you need a mutation and a sexual encounter by the mutant with his/her parent for this
special theory of hybridization to occur....
"The term hybridogenesis was coined by R. J. Schultz and indicates a reproductional mode which is
found in a few animal groups (e.g. the topminnow Poeciliopsis, a small fish in desert streams in
Mexico and Soutwestern USA; water frogs; Bacillus, stick insects in Italy). This mode marks hybrids
between two parental species (A,B) who are able to reproduce by backcrossing which one of the
parent. These hybrid normally contain two chromosome sets (AB, one from each parent species) in
their body cells, but in the gonads (ovar or testicles) the chromosome set of one parent is lost, so
that only one set remains (A or B), with A in their gonads, hybrids can backcross with B and vice
versa."
http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/PBhtmls/hybridogenesis.html
But species "evolving" from hybrids has been attributed to birds.....
"In birds, where hybrids probably are more likely to be noticed than most other orders, a number of
inter-specific hybrids have been recorded (see Sibley, 1961; Gray, 1957; Cockrum, 1952). From this
evidence it appears that hybrids among populations, even so distant as to be considered good
species, are not mere anomalies, but part of a larger pattern of population dynamics."
http://www.iorg.com/speciation.html#Modern%20Theory%20Natural%20Selection
Not only birds, but a human/reptilian connection has been reported and evidenced throughout many
cultures, and according to one source gives rise to the human "common ancestor" known by many as
"homo-erectus".....
The Reptilian/Human Hybrid - "Apparently reptilian human hybrids don't look different from other
humans. There are accounts throughout history of a serpent race of beings who mated with mankind to
create a new bloodline. Some people believe that the human race of homo-erectus IS the genetic
coupling of reptilians and humanoids. There is evidence of a godlike race (in some descriptions a
serpent race) which visited earth and coupled with humans. There are many accounts written on clay
tablets from the Sumerian era. This theme permeates many cultures. It's also believed that these
reptilian hybrid bloodlines are aristocratic and comprised of kings, royals and noblemen starting in
the middle east and spreading to every continent. Some people claim they have the ability to see
through the human outer shell into the reptilian underneath."
http://www.maar.us/alien_species.html#Hybrids%20/%20Mixed%20Species
Admittedly among some scientists, Darwin must yield to the theory of hybrid races....
"As discussed earlier in this paper, Darwin considered the general absence of forms intermediate
between species to be a difficulty with his theory of speciation. I pointed out that his defense of
the theory lay mainly in explaining why the data did not exist rather than convincing the reader
that intermediate forms ever did exist. The mechanism of speciation by selection against the hybrids
provides a more direct answer as to why intermediate forms generally do not exist between species."

Enter the Hydra:
"Hydra are named after the nine-headed sea snake of Greek mythology and are freshwater relatives of
corals, sea anemones and jellyfish. All are members of a primitive phylum, the Cnidaria, and share
in common stinging tentacles and a radially symmetrical body plan"
http://www.northern.edu/natsource/INVERT1/Hydra1.htm
"Why the Hydra?" You may be asking. Hang tight. It gets a bit mythological and theoretical as do
most evolutionary concepts (as a biologist myself, I can confirm that). Basically, science has found
a human connection between the Hydra and the human, which should not be surprising in the least
considering the fact that in previous posts I've shown where science has found that worms and humans
share a "common ancestor", and rats, squirrels and who knows what else, are all involved in "human
evolution" (according to these neo-greek mythologians)...
Here's the Hydra connection (talking about Hydra tentacles)....
"These miniature octopus-like tentacles became the dendrites of modern neurons, the specialized
cells that communicate information in more intelligent beings. Drawn in Figure 6.35 and acting a
remote sensing devices, neurons of modern hydra and modern humans are basically the same, though
their number and arrangement do differ considerably."
http://www.tufts.edu/as/wright_center/cosmic_evolution/docs/fr_1/fr_1_bio7.html
And the exciting news is that the hydra is more advanced that the amoeba and even the paramecium.
Makes you get all warm and fuzzy doesn't it?
"An amoeba searches for food essentially by drifting into water-plant algae. Finding none, it often
repeatedly gropes toward the same alga, even though the alga offers no satisfactory food. The amoeba
has no memory. A paramecium, on the other hand, has better coordination and a memory of sorts.
Having found no food near one alga, it will back off and seek resources in another direction.
Paramecia momentarily retain traces of experience.Compared to the amoeba, then, the paramecium is a
genius."
http://www.tufts.edu/as/wright_center/cosmic_evolution/docs/fr_1/fr_1_bio7.html
Enter NASA and the alien connection (hang with me here):
Hydra Reptilians - "An aquatic reptilian species that lives in or near water, are around 5 feet
tall, they have scaly webbed feet and hands. as well as gills and began reportedly coming from the
constellation Hydra (also called 'The Sea Serpent') which is comprised of three star systems of Beta
Hydrae, Epsilon Hydrae and N Hydrae. In Greek mythology there are the dragons Hydra, Python, and the
dragon Typhon, all serpent like."
"There are many names of serpent gods and goddesses for that matter throughout every continent
including hybrid prototypes engraved on tombs, on walls of unearthed ancient cities in the middle
east."
http://www.maar.us/alien_species.html#Insectiods%20/%20Mantas
Here's the kicker and the astonishing link to the Greek goddess known as "Gaia", and NASA:
"The Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna (Theogony, 313), noisome offspring of the earth
goddess, Gaia."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra
As proof I offer this well known scientific theory (and check out the connection to what is known
today as "global warming")....
"In science, a Gaia theory is a class of scientific models of the biosphere in which life fosters
and maintains suitable conditions for itself by affecting Earth's environment. The first such theory
was created by the English atmospheric scientist James Lovelock in 1969. He hypothesized that the
living matter of the planet functioned like a single organism and named this self-regulating living
system after the Greek goddess Gaia."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_theory_%28science%29
"A lifelong inventor, some of his inventions were adopted by NASA in their program of planetary
exploration. It was while working for NASA that Lovelock developed the Gaia Hypothesis."
"Lovelock was among the first researchers to sound the alarm about the threat from the greenhouse
effect. His opinion is that "Only nuclear power can now halt global warming ""
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Lovelock
So now you have a clue as to how/where "global warming" got a great boost. And you paid for it with
your tax dollars to boot.
Lovelock even wrote 4 books devoted to the greek goddess....
"He is the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis (now Gaia Theory) and has written four books on the
subject: Gaia: a new look at life on Earth, (Oxford University Press, 1979); The Ages of Gaia, (W.
W. Norton, 1988); Gaia: the practical science of planetary medicine, (Gaia Books,
1991), and Homage to Gaia (2000)."
..... And Lovelock himself claimed that his insight into all of this came via a religious experience
he had in NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California.
"For me, the personal revelation of Gaia came quite suddenly - like a flash of enlightenment. I was
in a small room on the top floor of a building at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,
California. It was the autumn of 1965 ... and I was talking with a colleague, Dian
Hitchcock, about a paper we were preparing ... It was at that moment that I glimpsed Gaia. An
awesome thought came to me. The Earth's atmosphere was an extraordinary and unstable mixture of
gases, yet Iknew that it was constant in composition over quite long periods of time. Could it be
that life on Earth not only made the atmosphere, but also regulated it - keeping it at a constant
composition, and at a level favourable for organisms?" (1991) "
http://www.gaianet.fsbusiness.co.uk/gaiatheory.html
Hey, the JPL enlisted 17 nations and built the largest planetary exploratorial spacecraft ever
built, all for the purpose of finding an explanation for the appearance of life on planet earth (by
landing on a moon of Saturn)....
"Cassini-Huygens is an international collaboration between three space agencies: NASA, ESA and the
Italian space agency, Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI). Seventeen nations contributed to building the
spacecraft."
 
"The Cassini orbiter was built and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The Huygens probe
was built by ESA. ASI provided Cassini's high-gain communication antenna. More than 250 scientists
worldwide will study the data collected. The development of the Cassini-Huygens mission, a complex
and ambitious venture originally between NASA and ESA, required substantial scientific, technical
and programme planning effort over several years."
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygens/SEM4VFHHZTD_0.html
"Notes: Cassini-Huygens is the largest interplanetary spacecraft ever built."
 
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygens/SEMVOZ1VQUD_0.html
"Description Cassini-Huygens is a joint NASA/ESA/ASI mission. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft will orbit
Saturn for four years, making an extensive survey of the ringed planet and its moons. The ESA
Huygens probe is the first to land on a world in the outer Solar System - on the surface of Titan,
Saturn’s largest moon. Data from Cassini and Huygens may offer clues about how life began on Earth."
 
Launch 15 October 1997 (Titan-IVB/Centaur at Cape Canaveral, United States).
 
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygens/SEMVOZ1VQUD_0.html
"Status The spacecraft arrived at Saturn in July 2004. Cassini is in operation. The Huygens probe
landed on Titan on 14 January 2005."
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygens/SEMVOZ1VQUD_0.html
So by 2009 they will find "something". Mark it down.
The Apostle Paul noticed the same sort of quest among greeks 2000 years ago....
1Corinthians 1:22 "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom"
Here's an account of the Apostle Paul in the ancient city of Athens, Greece.....
Acts 17:16-18 "Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he
saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and
with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. Then certain
philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, 'What will this
babbler say?' other some, 'He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods:' because he preached
unto them Jesus, and the resurrection."
And what happened was is that the superstitious nature of the Athenians (which I suppose is not
unlike many of you evolutionists here) got the better of them and they demanded to hear more about
this man named "JESUS" who rose from the dead:
Act 17:19-22 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this
new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we
would know therefore what these things mean". (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there
spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) Then Paul stood in
the midst of Mars' hill, and said, "Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too
superstitious".
And from there Paul went on to preach the resurrection of the dead, and to make a long story
short... Christianity is still alive and well and opposing superstitions to this very day.

Darwin was a long time ago. A lot of research has been done since
then. We have found so many animals in the fossil record that do not
exist today, but could have served as an intermediary species between
older and existing species, that we barely have time to name them all.
Google "evolution of the whale" and see what's out there.

Not really.

By definition, intermediates would be rare at
best.
They would only exist within a specific population.
A good example would be the dwarf Mammoths. They
only became dwarfs because they were isolated on an
island with limited resources. Their environment
simply couldn't support the needs of the full-sized
mammoths.
Of course, it's likely that the Mammoth population
always had the genetic capacity to grow really
small. That, the normal genetic variation within the
Mammoth population included dwarfs. But, under normal
conditions, an occasional drawf would have been a
prime target for top predators.
The only place you'd ever find an "intermediate"
between the full sized Mammoths and the later
evolved dwarfs is on the very Island the Mammoth
population that gave rise to the dwarfs was
isolated on.
In this one case the dwarf population did not
repopulate the mainland, displacing the full
sized population. But, what if they had? What
is, say, a drop in ocean levels reconnected
their island to the mainland, and the environment
on the mainland no longer favored the full sized
Mammoths? you could see how difficult it would
be for us, at this point, to find any
intermediates. We'd find the dwarfs everywhere,
but we wouldn't know where to even begin the
search for intermediates, as the island that the
small, isolated population which spawned them
wouldn't even be an island any more.
And, oh: "Isolation" doesn't have to be in terms
of an island. Anything that separates one population
from another -- including the species on limitations
or peculiarities -- will do.

Various theories arise since "natural selection" is mathematically unprovable.
"We can use the mathematics of natural selection to show how two populations with known alleles and
known but differing selection pressures would diverge. But we can use the same mathematics to show
how they would recombine. The mathematics of natural selection cannot tell us whether or not the two
populations upon recombining will become two species or remain one. In order to answer that question
we must make additional assumptions about the selection pressures against the hybrids, and those are
assumptions about the environment not about the intrinsic population dynamics."

Then theory becomes "myth".

It's a tautology. The alternative, that those members of the species
LEAST likely to succeed are the ones that succeeded, is ludicrous on
its face.

Yawn....these are old lies. You need some new ones. These don't work
any more.
Fact: Evolution does require mutations. Mutations are OBSERVED, in
virtually all viable, reproducing individuals of every species we've
tested. It does NOT depend much on hybrids, though obviously a mutation
found in only one parent will not be paired with a copy of itself in
offspring.

Actually, Speciation is inevitable if sub-populations become genetically
isolated. The reason for the isolation is pretty much irrelevant. This
is simply the mathematical certainty that random variations in isolated
populations will eventually force the populations to diverge.
Observations indicate that the divergence will eventually result in an
inability to interbreed.

Basically, you need a mutation and a sexual encounter by the mutant
with his/her parent for this special theory of hybridization to
occur....

Huh? If you're talking about interspecies hybrids, the genomes have to
be fairly close for it to work at all. The really radical ones are
allopolyploid hybrids such as triticale, which, in general, get classed
as new genera. That's because they depend on a kind of polyploid
mutation in both parents' germ cells to result in a hybrid at all.
This only works readily, though, in self-pollinating plants, so you would
be correct in saying that a certain amount of inbreeding follows.

"The term hybridogenesis was coined by R. J. Schultz and indicates a
reproductional mode which is found in a few animal groups (e.g. the
topminnow Poeciliopsis, a small fish in desert streams in Mexico and
Soutwestern USA; water frogs; Bacillus, stick insects in Italy). This
mode marks hybrids between two parental species (A,B) who are able to
reproduce by backcrossing which one of the parent. These hybrid
normally contain two chromosome sets (AB, one from each parent
species) in their body cells, but in the gonads (ovar or testicles)
the chromosome set of one parent is lost, so that only one set remains
(A or B), with A in their gonads, hybrids can backcross with B and
vice versa."

http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/PBhtmls/hybridogenesis.html

But species "evolving" from hybrids has been attributed to birds.....

"In birds, where hybrids probably are more likely to be noticed than
most other orders, a number of inter-specific hybrids have been
recorded (see Sibley, 1961; Gray, 1957; Cockrum, 1952). From this
evidence it appears that hybrids among populations, even so distant as
to be considered good species, are not mere anomalies, but part of a
larger pattern of population dynamics."

http://www.iorg.com/speciation.html#Modern%20Theory%20Natural%20Selecti
on

Not only birds, but a human/reptilian connection has been reported and
evidenced throughout many cultures, and according to one source gives
rise to the human "common ancestor" known by many as
"homo-erectus".....

And then we're off into never-never land.....

found in only one parent will not be paired with a copy of itself in
offspring.

Actually, I would say that the sequenced genomes of humans and chimps now
"prove" common descent beyond any REASONABLE doubt. The creationists can
lie about this but they cannot actually controvert it. Together with the
extant hominin fossils this pretty much "proves" human evolution to the
degree that it's possible to prove anything in natural history. And it
TOTALLY disproves the idea that some deity created separate genomes for
humans and chimps. Any so-called deity that would do that would be worthy
of exorcism, not worship.

There are a lot of THEORIES of evolution. They attempt to explain

one single theory of evolution, as if that's all there is, has given
up any hope of being taken seriously on the subject of evolution.

<nit-pick>
Err, we don't have a *Quantum* Theory of Gravity yet, Don; it's one of
the annoying problems with QM that we've been working on for a few
decades now. Gravity simply doesn't fit in to the model yet (QM and
the General Theory of Relativity don't play well with each other,
either); Einstein spent the last years of his life trying to come up
with a Unified Field theory that would unite gravity with the other
forces, and more contemporary developments such as String Theory are
also trying to do so.

Basically, you need a mutation and a sexual encounter by the
mutant with his/her parent for this special theory of
hybridization to occur....


Huh? If you're talking about interspecies hybrids, the genomes have
to be fairly close for it to work at all. The really radical ones
are allopolyploid hybrids such as triticale, which, in general, get
classed as new genera. That's because they depend on a kind of
polyploid mutation in both parents' germ cells to result in a hybrid
at all.

This only works readily, though, in self-pollinating plants, so you
would be correct in saying that a certain amount of inbreeding
follows.

"The term hybridogenesis was coined by R. J. Schultz and indicates
a reproductional mode which is found in a few animal groups (e.g.
the topminnow Poeciliopsis, a small fish in desert streams in
Mexico and Soutwestern USA; water frogs; Bacillus, stick insects
in Italy). This mode marks hybrids between two parental species
(A,B) who are able to reproduce by backcrossing which one of the
parent. These hybrid normally contain two chromosome sets (AB, one
from each parent species) in their body cells, but in the gonads
(ovar or testicles) the chromosome set of one parent is lost, so
that only one set remains (A or B), with A in their gonads,
hybrids can backcross with B and vice versa."

But species "evolving" from hybrids has been attributed to
birds.....

"In birds, where hybrids probably are more likely to be noticed
than most other orders, a number of inter-specific hybrids have
been recorded (see Sibley, 1961; Gray, 1957; Cockrum, 1952). From
this evidence it appears that hybrids among populations, even so
distant as to be considered good species, are not mere anomalies,
but part of a larger pattern of population dynamics."

Not only birds, but a human/reptilian connection has been reported
and evidenced throughout many cultures, and according to one

"homo-erectus".....


And then we're off into never-never land.....

Why don't you take some real science courses instead of reading
fairy tales?


Why don't you forget all that razz ma' tazz and concentrate for 3
weeks on the first verse of the Holy Bible....

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth."


Not in dispute. What IS indispute is HOW.
And, for bibliolatrous literalist heretics, WHEN.


... and for one good reason. After you wear yourself out wondering
about whether or not a stupid "theory" is worth basing your entire
inner moral code or or not, you then have to come to grips with the
question "where did those rocks in my backyard come from?".


You've been seduced into the heretical notion that scientific findings
can dictate morality. Maybe that's because you have no real moral
compass.


Don't get me wrong here. I'm not suggesting that things will not get
worse wrt theories of hoplesss men. I wouldn't even doubt of some
idjuts already have a "theory" concerning quartz being the common
ancestor of humans.


Not bloody likely. We're too carbon-based for that.

Why do you reject evidence for the common ancestry of chimps and
humans that is of the same quality as you would likely cling to if it
exonerated you on a false criminal charge? Is hypocrisy mandatory in
your cult?


Reject evidence? You're kidding? Or have you been asleep on the web
while I posted that evidence of humans and worms having a common
ancestor, and rats and humans yada yada yada.

Since humans and chimps demonstrably share a common ancestral gene pool,
you'd think that it would be obvious that this demonstration can be
extended back to where humans and rats, humans and worms and even humans
and banana trees are involved. Certainly the former demonstration shows
that considerable morphological difference can evolve in just 6 or 7
million years.

You're just miffed at how when I show this evidence, it makes you guys
look like loonies. Alien abductions, ToE, global warming...... my my
such fertile ground for any accomplished writer.

No, I'm miffed when you make fun of the evidence instead of drawing the
clear and obvious conclusion from it.

Believe it or not they actually just released findings from the
landing I mentioned at the onset of this thread.... but it was just
from 4 hours of data. You can read the whole thing on the JPL website
if you want, but basically they've concluded that their original
assumption was exactly correct (surprise, surprise) that Titan is an
earth-like planet\moon.....

In terms of its particular rocky make-up yes. In terms of having an
oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and temperatures permitting liquid water, no.

"By driving their computer models of Titan to match the data returned
from the probe, planetary scientists can now visualise Titan as a
working world. "Even though we have only four hours of data, it is so
rich that after two years of work we have yet to retrieve all the
information it contains," says François Raulin, Huygens
Interdisciplinary Scientist, at the Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie
de l'Environnement, Paris. The new details add greatly to the picture
of Saturn's largest moon. "Titan is a world very similar to the Earth
in many respects," says Jean-Pierre Lebreton, ESA Huygens Project
Scientist.

So what is your point?

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070601110714.htm

Now let's deal with this underhanded name calling bad habit you have.
Over and over again I've posted interesting scientific findings yet
you ignorantly continue making yourself look bad by calling me names.
Why do you do that? Are you stupid? Have you not yet discovered that
it does you no good atall?

No, YOU ignorantly continue making YOURSELF look bad by calling the
scientists who do the work names.
And no, I'm not stupid. And whether it does me any good to notice that
YOU are stupid is irrelevant.
By the way, it does not look like you are congenitally stupid, so it must
be a choice. Why are you so stupid?

The ToE depends upon the notion of hybrids and mutants. Even
Darwin himself expressed dismay over the lack of evidence wrt
intermediate species. That's a biggie. It means that if there is
no evidence of intermediate species then the whole theory of
evolution itself is in question. Hence "hybrids" temporarily
relieves the frustration of evolutionists in that they can say
that hybrid races didn't hang around long enough to leave good
fossil proof, but did live long enough to produce the next
"species" in the evolutionary chain so to speak.


Yawn....these are old lies. You need some new ones. These don't
work any more.

Fact: Evolution does require mutations. Mutations are OBSERVED, in
virtually all viable, reproducing individuals of every species we've
tested. It does NOT depend much on hybrids, though obviously a
mutation found in only one parent will not be paired with a copy of
itself in offspring.


Human evolution has never been proven. It's called the ToE for that
reason.

"As discussed earlier in this paper, Darwin considered the general
absence of forms intermediate between species to be a difficulty
with his theory of speciation. I pointed out that his defense of
the theory lay mainly in explaining why the data did not exist
rather than convincing the reader that intermediate forms ever did
exist. The mechanism of speciation by selection against the
hybrids provides a more direct answer as to why intermediate forms
generally do not exist between species."

Actually, Speciation is inevitable if sub-populations become
genetically isolated. The reason for the isolation is pretty much
irrelevant. This is simply the mathematical certainty that random
variations in isolated populations will eventually force the
populations to diverge. Observations indicate that the divergence
will eventually result in an inability to interbreed.

Basically, you need a mutation and a sexual encounter by the
mutant with his/her parent for this special theory of

Unbelievable. I was stunned, shocked, and taken agasp when I first read your words above, and had
to get up from my computer and walk around the house for a few minutes to get a grip on what became
apparrent to me after reading your words above. Here's the short version:
Basically, you've proven my premise to me which is actually quite astounding. It goes like this....
since human evolution has never been proven, you, in the above have demonstrated beyond any doubt
that extremely high levels of faith are indeed involved in the cult of evolution. You've taken an
unproven notion (human evolution) and by raw faith have expressed beliefs that humans might actually
be related to worms and bananas, and have by that extension, either:
1) acquiesced to an allusion.
or
2) secumbed to a delusion.(more on that in a moment)
Wrt to #1 you are displaying complex faith (which is of the devil himself) as opposed to simple
faith which is of God. The Apostle Paul clearly denunciates....
2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so
your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye
receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted,
ye might well bear with him.
Even Jesus himself illustrates how a mustard seed, as teeny as it is, meets the simplicity of faith
requirements for human beings......
Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If
ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you". - Jesus
You and your complex faith schemes of the devil are totally unnecessary. Yet my hope is that
somehow, someway, if it were possible to save you guys... that your "faith" just might prove useful
in the kingdom of God. And without doubt the kingdom of God is within 36" of your elbow.
"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." -
Jesus (Mark 1:15)
Wrt to #2 you are displaying total and complete delusion.
Both #1 and #2 are biblically explainable and therefore, understandable.
Here's the explaination for #2:
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That
they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."
(2 Thessalonians 2:11-12)
Now that leads me to an undeniable truth. For if you are indeed deluded by God himself, who am I to
try and save you? In that case I can do nothing more than agree that you guy
