Jesus vs. Darwin

jbastero @jbastero (9) • Philippines 27 Oct 10

Which one gives your life purpose? Which one requires more FAITH? People talk of Darwin's theory of evolution like it was fact. People talk about Jesus like He was fiction. Unfortunately, most advocates of these two icons never...

Did man create God or did God create Man?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 12 Feb 10
