Theologian Attempts Censorship After Losing Public Debate 943
RockDoctor writes "Theologian John Haught publicly debated prominent evolutionary scientist and atheist Jerry Coyne at the University of Kentucky back in October. Before the debate, both parties agreed to the debate being video-taped. Coyne is of the opinion that he convincingly won the debate over Haught. But we'll never know, because Haught, with the assistance of staff at the University of Kentucky, who sponsored the debate, is banning publication of the video of the event. They are even refusing to release the half of the debate containing Coyne's comments and questions."

So far, I haven't found a better theory than the "Long Day Theory" which lets evolution fit perfect with a literal interpretation of Genesis. Here is my old take on it. [goodnewsjim.com] God himself actually approved of this article and my book. I prayed over the publishing of this book if what I said was theologically sound,"I pray everything is cool" and instantly my coauthor IMs me,"Everything is cool." That was the second time I know God interacted in my life in a way he wanted me to know. You can get a copy of my book for free or you can read my articles online for free.

Yep, a creationist and an atheist have teamed up to use shady marketing tactics in order to collect on that big "theological debate audience" dollar. Sure.

Even Jesus is quoted as telling his followers not to fight with non-believers. There are numerous scriptures that basically tell believers to abstain from defending God because God is more than capable of defending himself if He so chooses. Whenever I hear about a Christian trying to prove the Bible or God's existence I know immediately they are simply using the Bible as a weapon to force their ideals on others instead of a guidebook on how they should live. When that fails they quickly fall back to secular (non-religious) means to meet their goal. If he was really interested in proving God's existence he would try to act more like Him.
Mistake: You did not capitalize the word "himself" when referring to God.
Punishment: Eternal damnation.
