Jim Bakker and his wife, Tammy Faye, led an evangelistic empire called PTL, or Praise the Lord, headquartered in their own theme park in Fort Mill, South Carolina, near Charlotte, North Carolina. Revelations that Jim Bakker had paid former church secretary Jessica Hahn to keep quiet about a sexual encounter raised questions about his finances in the late 1980s. In 1989, he was sentenced to 45 years in prison for fleecing his flock of $158 million. Ted Haggard — A gay escort accused Ted Haggard, then pastor of Colorado's biggest church and president of the nation's largest evangelical group, of paying him for drug-fueled sex in 2006. Haggard acknowledged receiving a massage from the man and buying methamphetamine, but he said he threw the drugs away. His church fired him for "sexually immoral conduct. Marcus Lamb — A televangelist and founder of the Daystar Television Network, the Rev. Marcus Lamb confessed that he cheated on his wife, Joni Lamb, who also leads the network, in front of his TV audience in 2010, saying he was coming clean in the face of a $7.5 million extortion attempt.

How old do you think the Earth is? I guess this is more of the wgb spin on Christianity where you just decide to replace church teachings with your own. And yeah, let me know when those theories work out for you. Hint: they won't because they still can't answer the most basic of questions about non life leading to life. All of those articles and every single experiment or study ever conducted has failed this basic, essential step. Stop throwing out red herrings and start at the first step. How did non life create life?

Your largest religion in the world is divided by tens of thousands of different sects, denominations, and cults who argue with each other about what a "true” Christian is. Maybe stop trying to fix others, and try working on yourself first? Yes I have. Any other questions? You going to make a point?

And again, the age of the earth is ancillary to the main point which is God is the creator of everything

And why is yours the best? Oh so you're mad that God "allows" cancer? Do you also curse God when you dont win the lottery, or stub your toe because God put the leg of a couch in your way? I already answered this, having faith doesn't guarantee a perfect life.

Did we not start this conversation--just prior to a classic WGB deflection--talking about creation of life? It's literally nonsense to claim that life started from nothing at all, yet that is the modern scientists view. Step 1. Blah blah primordial soup, amino acids, blah blah Step 2: Step 3: life! We did it, we proved life was created by nothing!

I’m pretty’s sure we went over this before, and all you had was a weak business connection between Krauss and Epstein. And a statement from a scientist who said he wanted to see facts before judging someone. Amyway, when Krauss used the term, he didn’t actually mean nothing. He and others have explained that several times, but you would have to read more than an out of context quote. And even though we don’t know how life first started, and even if evolution was ever falsified, that would not make your god claim true. Christian’s like you are masters at deflection.
