I was looking through the hate mail at Ebaum's World (www.ebaumsworld.com) and came to my surprise when I found another failed prediction:

"I am ashamed to be a member of the human race after viewing your site. You are a very sick, destined for hell individual. I would pray for you, but that would be a complete waste of my time. I am a pastor of a church (Gospel Outreach Christian Assembly) and am going to start a campaign against your site. I cannot help to refrain from saying that Satan just might hold your heart and one day you will reap the rewards from what you now sew. The question I ask myself is how could you or any human being watch a video based on human excrement and feces. You must have had a very hard childhood. Think of all the small children you are offending? I was shown in a dream that you will die this year, a painful death, and then be transported to hell. If you want forgiveness, just ask. Or else meet your fate this year. Judging by your website, you obviously do not have the mental capacity to mount any sort of defense against me, so I will not bother to go on. Do the world a favor and mend you ways."

Focusing on the:

"I was shown in a dream that you will die this year, a painful death, and then be transported to hell. If you want forgiveness, just ask. Or else meet your fate this year."

Of course, this was written in 2001 and now it is 2004 (you do the math).

Just wanted to share.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.
- Isaac Asimov

This quote SHOULD make him feel shame:

"I would pray for you, but that would be a complete waste of my time. I am a pastor of a church...."

It is a very unchristian thing to think, much less say - doubly so if you're supposed to be setting an example for a congregation. So who exactly does he pray for anyway? Those who are ALREADY on the path to Heaven? Duh, that makes sense. What a dumbass.

I'm curious if the website owner wrote the "Right Reverend" and informed him of his existance post 2001.

The stream of illogic would be most entertaining.

Perhaps he might not be a pastor at all, of course you believe Darwin with no evidence so I'm sure you'd believe that also...

What came first the chicken or the egg?

How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?

There are no atheists in foxholes

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4

II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!

Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?

Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.

"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

poor verlch.... maybe your wife will hit you in the head with a brick, and when you wake up out of the coma she sends you into you'll realize what an idiot you are.
