What about Joel Osteen? He was on TV a few days ago giving an interview. He has a massive TV ministry, a huge church, approx. 50 million a year in tithes, $40 million in donations thru the mail, & 2 books that sold approx. 3 million each.
This man is so boring & bland, I don’t know how anyone can sit thru his messages, much less donate to his ministry.
He doesn’t talk about God in any of his sermons, has never been to Seminary, has no degree of any kind. The reason he doesn't discuss God, Jesus Christ, sin or what you need to do to be saved is because in his words, “That’s not my gift.”
If I had the money he has coming in, I wouldn't want to talk about God either if I thought it might rock the financial boat.
Basically, if you were to trace your parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's parent's, on and on, for hundreds of thousands of years (or more) your direct ancestors would eventually not be "human". If you were to follow your direct family line back for millions of years (or more), your ancestors would eventually not even be apes. If you were to keep going further and further and further and further and further back, your direct ancestors would eventually not even be mammals - and so on, allllll the way back to single celled organisms. Defining where the exact species change happens anywhere along the way would be extremely difficult and scientifically contentious.
