Wasn't there a plague of geese unleashed on Egypt just after the plague of frogs, rats and boils?

Just a simple question to Brad, and any others who choose to answer it, not meant as a flame or anything ...
Aside from any religious belief, does the very notion that man may have evolved from apes offend you? I mean do you feel it like an insult to humanity to suggest that we evolved from the lowly ape?

I'd think it would offend chimps more than it would humans.

And lo David did striketh down the mighty Gooseliath with a single turd from his slingshot...and Gooseliath did fall down dead even upon the sands of the beach which he and his people had befouled that very day and never again were the Israelites troubled by the Canae-Dyans

I don't care.
*sigh*
NOWHERE does it say in the theory of how man evolved that we evolved from apes/chimps/macacques/whatever. There was a common ancestor involved, but apes/chimps/macacques/whatever evolved alongside humans.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled pointless debate.

I was referring to a specific comment when I posed the question. I get the impression that some people are offended by the very notion that humans evolved from "lesser primates" shall we say.
So you may all feel free to substitue "lesser primates" for "apes" while ignoring my previous post

When the fool debates with the fool....
A debate being futile is hardly the same of being futile to debate...

'Why do you find me scary'
I find you scary for the simple reason you are willing to belive som ething for which you are aware there is nothing approaching prrof. You believe it simply because you were told it adn therefore you believe it.
This scares me becasue this kin d of belief - unquestioning of whether what someone tells you is right or not can be put to dangerous use - soemone can tell you that god says you must kill for instance, and you do. Someone tells you that god says kill abortionists and go to heaven, or you interpret that from the bible - and you are so convinced you are obeying gods word and that you will go to heaven that you do it.
You ask me what I believe in - get this around your head - I will not believe in aything until it is adequateley proved - yes I may believe in stuff that people tell me but if I find it has little proof or no proof I will question it and not believe it.
I dont know about evolution know there seems to be a lot of evidence for it it may be not quite right - but I dont seek answers from a completley unprovable source.

No, I find it to be an insult to God. An inpunment of his power and Existance. If god didn't create us I wouldn't be repulsed if we came from apes.

No, I have looked at the facts in the BBL PROVEN BY MODERN SCIENCE, an came to accept the BBL as truth. I would not blindly follow anyone (enless I was blind and had to
) How did ancient BBL writers know that the Earth was round and suspended in space, when still centuries later, scientists thought the earth was flat and resting on a turtle's back. Modern science has dated the scrolls these texts were written on, they were written befor we found all this out. There is no way man could have known, before he had the technology to find this out, unless...

I am not a fanatic which is what it sound like you are calling me. The BBL tells us to examine the things in it and come to your own conclusion, this I have done. God would not tell us to kill abortionists or evolutionists, it is not our place to judge man, we are imperfect. If you look at the way God is portrayed in the BBL you would know this. If somone in my religion told me that God wanted me to kill all unbelievers, I wouldn't do it, because God it would go against all that Jesus taught us. Judgment is for God to give not man. And if I did do this I wouldn't be going to heaven, which is reserved for the 144000 mentioned in revelation (It is a literal number) and believe me when I tell you that none of them would kill another human in the name of God. So you don't have to find me scary, I am not a fanatic, just convinced that I know the truth.

In ancient Greece they already knew it.It was VERY easy:
in let say,egypt the sun shined directly on a point while at the SAME time in a other place the sun shined in a waterpit not directly on it but in a hook of 1.6°.Thanks to this info they knew that the earth was round.Im sorry if you dont understand my english is not very well
And it got forgotten when the great library burned down
