Comments on: Chuck Norris Sets The Facts Straight: Evolution Is ‘Not Real.

Many people interpret the bible the wrong way, if you look at one part in too much detail you are missing the point of the bible. why spend your life trying to disprove it? because we cannot prove/disprove it as much as we cannot prove/disprove theorys... You need to believe what you are doing it true and right. adam and eve could have evolved from mud for all we know, god could of created evolution. it would therefore be right to say god created adam and eve! if there is no god why are we here? why would we exist? these questions are outside the scope of our minds, so we better ask god. peace.

I don't know the man personally. I've heard he's a Christian and I know his show Texas Walker Ranger was cancelled because he went out on a limb for God and had an episode portraying people being delivered from the seductive power of sex, alchohol and drugs. I respect him for that. But anyone who looks at him and uses his mistakes as an excuse not to follow Jesus is nothing but a coward who isn't brave enough to walk with and live for the Lord. Just remember that our soul is in our own keeping and what we do with it is our choice along with the consequences. When we stand before God on the Day of the Lord, the period of mercy and grace He's given the world will be over and the unbelievers, mockers and scoffers will all have to give an account for their lives.
