Schriv: I've not insulted anyone, if they are so hyper sensitive to take any of my comments as insults it is not my fault. And yes I do have a point behind this that relates to separation of church and state.

Jaguar, I am not prostletising as you put it. He asked a question and I answered him. Melcar: quote: Meaningless Babble. Oooh I am condemned by a holy [God]... Which one? Allah? The Christian God? Apollo? The truth is YOU Condemn me, Not any one of them. Reread what I posted, I do not condemn you. You say you speak the truth, yet to you truth is not absolute. You are creating for yourself what you want to be truth. quote: Show me. Identify your source. and Please note, You said ALL. Oh, and please bear in mind at the same time, that it is still a Theory. No, you first show me ONE method that CONCLUSIVELY shows evolution existed. You tell me there are complete steps taken to prove it, yet show me nothing and then demand sources from me. It is not good to demand what you have not shown yourself.

quote: Who is going to Condemn me? You? No, you have condemned yourself and are condemned by a Holy God. It is not my place to comdemn you. quote: That is right I create my OWN Moral code. As do you. By your teachings and Life Experiences. I do not create my own moral code, I follow a moral code found in God's Word. Look at Percy Shelly, he created his own moral code and considered himself an honest person, yet when he ran into finantial trouble he forged his friends names on his bills and left them in crippling debt. If humans are left to make their own morals it is inevitable that they will constantly change to suit our needs. That is why we CANNOT create our own moral codes, and that is why there MUST be an ABSOLUTE code that will never and can never change. quote: There is NO Absolute in anything... All is relative. Not even right or wrong. Then by your own logic, Hitler was following what he believed was right since his was the master race. What right did we have to condemn and vilify him? The terrorists were following what they believed to be right. Why are they condemned for their actions? If I wish to break the laws of this country because I feel they are wrong what place do the police have arresting me? We have light and we have the absense of light called darkness neither can exist in the same place at the same time. That is absolute. quote: As opposed to the Theory of Evolution: There are LOGICAL Complete steps that they have taken to try to prove, and are Still trying to prove. And all of those LOGICAL steps to prove evolution have FAILED. People have even resorted to making fabrications to prove evolution and they have FAILED. Have you ever considered that it is possible that has NEVER happened and could NEVER happen? Aaron

Melcar: quote: And therein lies the problem Eclipse, I do not believe in a Sovereign God who controls everything. There is nothing greater that will punish me. Then by your own words you stand condemned. Because of unbelief in a higher Power, you can then create your own moral code, there are no absolutes of right and wrong. quote: Starting with the Crusades as the most Notable. People found Justification in Christianity to KILL. Same thing for the Spanish Inquisition. First off the Roman church is a perversion of true Christianity: the Crusades and the Inquisition are evidences of that perversion. Look back to the early church around 50 to 150 A.D., They were persecuted for their beliefs. Did they strike back, rebel, or force others to believe with threats of bodily harm? No. The examples of their lives and the truth of the gospel were enough to cause their ranks to swell. Only after Constantine I made Christianity the religion of the state did pagan practices and deviation from the truth find their way into the chiurch, and then only gradually until the bloated monstronsity of the Roman Church appeared in the middle ages. quote: So I'm afraid that just shot your argument of having a god who will punish you keeps you from doing wrong. People do wrong for their own reasons. They may make justification for it somewhere, but what it comes down to is quite simply they are EVIL, and do what they want, regardless of their religeon. If you will reread what I posted I did not say that knowing that a soverign God exists and will one day judge all humans would prevent crime, the main argument was that there is a moral code that is to be followed. Why should it remind us of a soverign God and why should it be followed? Because it was instituted by God. quote: Which brings us to today, Osama Bin Laden, he claims religious justification for his attacks on the US. According to Many Muslims(Both in the US and the Middle East) There is NO justification for what he does in Islam. According to his religion he is justified. Fundamental Islam has only two types of people Believers and Infadels, to them the only thing to do with Infidels is to kill them. As for problems with the ACLU: http://www.aclu.org/news/n100298a.html Evolution as a "science?" Please show me someone who was around at the big bang, or how a premordial pile of sludge magically transformed into a cell, or even ONE recorded instance of one creature gradually becomming another. They say that Creationism isn't a science, and they are right because it requires FAITH to accept and believe. Yet evolution, which has yet to be proved is taught as science. Unless we have seen it occurr or have proof of it, it too requires faith to believe. Evolution is a religion of atheism. Taking a quote from the scopes trial we can see the OPPISITE has happened. quote: "If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach it in the public school, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private school . . . At the next session you may ban books and newspapers. Soon you may set Catholic against Protestant and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the minds of men." Clarence Darrow, during the Scopes trial Now it is a crime to teach Creationism, or even PRAY in school. http://www.aclu.org/news/2001/n062201b.html The Ten Commandments are a civil law code, I'm sure that there wouldn't be a fuss over putting up the code of Hammurabi or Justinian's codex. Because they are found in the Bible they are attacked as a sign of "religious inequity" by the ACLU. If you read through the various cases the ACLU has supported in the past, it will take issues that the PEOPLE have decided on to the highest courts so that the will of the FEW are imposed on the MANY. And you ask about a government FOR the PEOPLE and BY the PEOPLE. The ACLU is trying to force its religion of atheism on the people of the United States, that is what I have against the ACLU.

If I had time to look this up, I would get exact figgures, but I don't so I will try this from memory. Please forgive any errors. OK, quite awhile ago I remember reading a little clip on why the Ten Commandments were removed and the ideology behind the reason was quite twisted. In a nutshell it was proposed that if the Ten Commandments were displayed, students might read them and after reading them might actually follow them. After their removal, crime rate in schools increased sharply in comparison to previous years. When the biggest problem in your schools suddenly changes from chewing bubble gum and fistfights to rape and murder, something is wrong. When we took the Ten Commandments out of the schools, they removed an outward sign that reminded students that there was a moral code to be followed and even that there was a soverign God Who controls everything. Humans as a rece are depraved, sinful beings. Without a knowledge that there is someone greater than you who will punish wrong, there is no restraint on evil and society falls into disorder and eventually anarchy. Now with the Ten Commandments, yes they are a Divine law code delivered to Mosas, but they not for the most part a religious law code. If you wish to display the Hebrew religious laws, we would have quite a few more than ten commandments. Although the Ten Commandments are a civil law code they are found in Scripture and for the ACLU that in itself is enough to condemn them. Unfortunately for America, we have allowed our schools to be twisted to meet the demands of groups such as the ACLU to the point that now our children are being indoctrinated with their ideology and morals. It is no wonder that America has the problems that it does today in light of the values being taught. Aaron

I agree with you Mike, IMO the whole idea is unconstitutional bunk the ACLU has been force feeding the citizens into believing.

Cmdr. P. Laracuente: I believe he is refering to the canceled BCTE. SC released what was done on it awhile back.

Have a great birthday, sho.

Password Changed.

I usually use ICQ only, but since that doesn't work here I'm now using Yahoo Messenger

OUCH!!!! That phone bill was more than my monthly income...

Does it matter if a Geforce 3 takes 5 passes and gets 70 FPS and a raiden takes 2 passes and gets 20 FPS? Personally I'll take a Geforce 3 over a raiden because of the bad drivers.

Finally, good job SC. It would be too little to say the months of dev were hard.

I have a similar system but I'm not having any problem like this. see if the z buffer option is set right in you D3d properties

Congrats.
