HATE church signs! They usually have some smart aleck message, makes them look "holier than thou" & certainly does nothing to encourage anyone to enter the building it sits in front of. If this is your intent, great job. Sorry, that's harsh, but then so are the signs that turn people away (the opposite of what we are directed by God to do). JMHO
I ABSOLUTELY without a doubt hate church signs with a passion. They aren't clever and they aren’t witty. They NEVER make me want to go to church there. Insulting my intelligence is not how to get me in the doors. I saw one by my house that said something like "Come to church this Sunday, we have already made peace between you and GOD." Give me a break. I am a Christian but those signs are ridiculous. And, I don’t need anyone making peace between me and God. Every time I see one of those signs I just sigh and shake my head because I wonder how many other people they are pushing away.
I walk out to my garden or in the woods,watch the hummingbirds , little blue birds , & the deers along the edge of the fairways , yes lQQking for my golf ball , & a yellow butterfly some times even helps me find my balls , I us Yellow Golf Balls, cause it's easy for me to know it's mine & all my partners are useing white ones, but yes I watch the little yellow butterfly dip down at my ball & I go look & find it Smiler you know I am sure not any of them has ever been in a church or read a church sign & dang sure no Politics among them Wink on who's going to be the elder or deadon Smiler & get all madd & start a new church down the road so they can be one or the other, Last but not least Yes I talk to our son & love ones who have passed .Call me Crazy if you will , but Now Please don't jump on me for being honest !!

I agree with ya...when I want to see God I just look outside of my windows...I have numerous birds, squirrels, chipmunks, water snakes, large catfish, 45 lb Carp,4' Gar, etc...
And yes! I too believe you never die, only change form...Your love ones who have pasted, are just a sentence away...they listen very well! Some may even be your some of your Guardian Angels..I know with my lifestyle...they have to rotate mind more than normal...

Sorry to get off of the topic, but I was wondering just when a scientist was able to actually observe evolution (that is, the adding of genetic material to one species to make another species) to prove it as fact? I read the scientific literature all the time, and I was completely unaware that this had happened! The librarian must not have read the mathematical studies that show that the current theory of evolution is mathematically impossible, and the librarian hasn't read Louis Pasteur's studies on how life does not spontaneously generate. Please do not use the "fact" word until it is shown to be one. Just because one states the word "fact" doesn't mean that it is one. Let us really engage our brains and look into this matter without a naturalistic bias.

Don't know where you bought your dictionary, but mine says evolution is the change in a population's inherited traits from generation to generation. I could find nothing about adding genetic material under evolution. Now genetically modified plants and animals can have added, subtracted or modified material, but they cannot be accurately described as changed through the process of evolution.
Sorry fatherof6, but most if not all reputable scientists agree that evolution occurs. I don't see why this is scary to you; it doesn't really disagree with anything in the Bible. Perhaps you're one of those people who think that God put fossils and dinosaur bones on the earth to test our faith? Evolution is a theory the way that gravity is a theory. Here is a nice article for you:

Interesting post Father of 6 (you do know what causes fatherhood don't you)

I was thinking about easy evidence of evolutionary change. I have tried the do you look exactly like your father/mother or your sister/brother? It seems to hit brick when offered.

SO, I will try two other examples. One is the white footed mouse. This small rodent is a new species. It did not exist at all 100 years ago, and has a range, at present, confined esclusively to Chicago, IL. Now you might never have the opportunity to see such a mouse, so I found another. Actually several hundred, perhaps thousands of others. Pedigreed dogs. There are over 150 registered breeds on the AKC list. That is today's list. Go back to 1850, and the list is about 20.

That doesn't prove evolution, it proves cross-breeding. Besides, just because there were only 20 registered breeds does not mean there were only 20 types of dogs and the rest evolved. Also, your claim about the white footed mouse existing only in Chicago is inaccurate. I think it's also safe to say it's been around for much longer than 100 years.

I agree, except I think that the Church of Christ near Forest Hills school routine has the most moronic.
