Facts, Opinions, and S.P.A.M.

That's precisely why I stop listening to HeLL, usually. He twists everything around from fact into opinion so he can "win." If it were upto him, the sky is blue the grass is green and bee-stings hurt are opinions!
We know evolution happens. The only reason its still a theory is because of the missing link in the human ancestry and the fundamentalist christians who believe that God created the world in a total of 6 days and then rested on the seventh. (Apparently 60% of the population believe this to be exactly what happened, and that is certainly not an opinion.)
EDIT: oops, missed the whole third page.
Don't necessarily call history fact - it's a very fickle thing, afterall, the winners [usually] write the history books! Plus, history is often revising itself in the light of new evidence or new desires.
At least half of american history is misinterpreted for the public. Especially Revolutionary history - George washington didn't have wooden teeth, he had a set of dentures(sort of) that was made of teeth pulled off of his slaves!
The Trail of Tears(a label it picked up during the Great Depression, I believe) wasn't a trail of tears! It may have been painful, but it saved the native american culture at the time. If Jackson hadn't moved them, the Georgians would have killed them all.
Honestly, it's possible that Galileo didnt' really even invent the telescope. The Chinese had invented a lot of things that weren't invented in the western world for hundreds(even thousands) of years! Take that into consideration.

--- Quote ---What facts? I have seen very few facts anywhere in this topic.
And facts are often false.
Yeah, the world is flat. Uh-huh.

HeLL, I don't believe you have ever seen a fact in your life. They just don't exist in your world.
--- Quote ---Is it a "fact" that Jesus was resurrected?

No, it is not a fact. Jesus was reanimated with all of his wounds including the gaping hole in his side (which I believe an apostle stuck his hand into to prove Jesus was not incorporeal). This would mean that Jesus was not resurrected but was in fact the walking dead. All praise zombie Jesus!

--- Quote ---People knew the Earth was round long before Galileo. Galileo happened to live in a period of time where the Church controlled the knowledge of the Western world (Dark Ages).

Yeah that was my bad what galileo proved wrong was just the geocentrism.
--- Quote ---the earth was the center of the universe and everything goes around it.

The guy they tried to throw off the planet must have been some1 else then where they kept sailing to the same direction to find the end of the world but they returned to the same point since the earth is round
