A better comment would have been “Just like Bugs Bunny will live forever”.

I like how some have chosen to illuminate us about the actions of Christ, as if they had been present at any or all of the events in his life. Then they tell us the meaning of his actions because they are such good judges of that which they did not witness. I guess everybody knows everything..no, wait, that’s….I mean…

Well.. there is Ardi, who was found in or around Ethiopia. An Ape who is bi-pedal, but her feet have the ability to grasp. That seems fairly transitional, probably part of the family of apes who first started to stand erect.
If we aren’t related to any of these apes in the past, how did we get here then? Did god all of a sudden decide to create man as he was after apes? Maybe God is an ape. Obviously he resembles one since we were made in his likeness.
I’m no believer, but I do find the theory of the blind watchmaker interesting.

A point in fact, DRF is correct if you take the time to actually read Charles Darwin’s Theory. Darwin himself postulated (as a proof of his theory) that within 50 years many, many transitional fossils would be discovered, ending any debate & proving gradual mutation through natural selection. He went on that the lack of these findings would “disprove” his theory. The scientific community’s fear of religious repression (well founded) has made Darwin’s theory an “untouchable third rail” of science for too long. A more current scientific / evidence based theory known as “punctuated equilibri” (sp) has been proposed, but “faith” in Darwin is preventing reasonable discussion as to the merits of this theory.
Remember, the heliocentric model came after the geocentric model, which was a “fact” of science. And we take on “faith” the concept that “man” once believed that the earth was flat, when we have large amounts of evidence that ancient man was more aware of the celestial realms than most of mankind is today.
The fact is, for all of our arrogance, we don’t know $#!7, and much of what we think we know is probably wrong, even with theories as simple as electronics.
“Modern man” can’t explain the million ton quarried stones at Baal Bek, and we seem to completely ignore how ill equipped humans are to survive natural selection, in both the macro and micro environment; or that natural selection should have eliminated most of the genetic weakness in humans from the gene pool while we evolved to our current state.

@Nerf Jihad. An even better example of suffering is the holocaust. Did Jesus suffer more than those in the holocaust? Not even close.
Jesus was supposed to have sacrificed so greatly. He saved the entire human race. The worst murderers in the world would probably sacrifice themselves for an entire race. Isn’t it more of a sacrifice when it is for a smaller cause. Plenty of people have sacrificed themselves for others. Firemen sacrifice themselves for strangers all of the time. So their sacrifice is greater than Jesus’. But wasn’t Jesus without sin? Nope. “If you have anger in your heart you have committed murder”. Jesus screamed at, and drove the moneylenders out of the temple with beatings. That sounds pretty angry to me, so Jesus committed murder, according to him.
So yea, Jesus=ultimate sacrifice? Not even close.

Read a book.
I think that may be the problem, Renay. Read *another* book, maybe
