Scoffers gonna scoff - bet they're a world of joy to supervise.

The remark was the predictable "...sky spaghetti" or whatever.  Anyway, the remark was rather out of turn; the guy's video wasn't about creation vs evolution - was more about property taxes, home maintenance and generally dealing with things as they are.  But yesterday, listened to a sermon, and the preacher clarified some things.  First off, the "so called science" lovers go on about evidence, but it's all in vain; when you present evidence, that's all around - the four elements of dna have to line up, and curl around, just everso; if just two or three, out of a hundred, don't line up properly...problems.  Anyway, dear Christian (who happens to major/work in biology) just go talk to the wall... and save yourself scoffers' tantrums.  And you too, sir, who takes care of the telescope; yeah, yeah, your studies have shown, time and time again, the whole layout of stars and planets, shows - even in secular articles (especially, when digging through what the footnotes actually report) that star systems have to be just everso... 

In short, take a tip from that difficult person in your life; you know the one you need avoid, because, no matter how cooperative, kind you are to that person, nothing you do or say, is ever satisfactory.  Some people are just a pain in the neck, because they choose to create drama - then, turn around, and blame you.  That's how unbelief works.  The preacher said, it starts out as simply intellectual discussion, then gets emotional, then regresses further to insults; and finally actual harm - be that in the form of one's reputation or physical self.  Like difficult people do, they suck out all the oxygen, then suck you in; next thing you know, you're waxing Nabal.  Any wonder the Bible tells believers to steer clear ...?


"Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife was Abigail; and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance : but the man was churlish and evil in his doings ; and he was of the house of Caleb."  I Samuel 25:3

"He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness : from such withdraw thyself."  I Timothy 6:4-5
