"The problem with the Revolutionists is they think that macro-revolutions (as opposed to the normal and accepted micro-revolutions) can randomly turn one country into another, but you don’t ever see Denmark turning into Singapore, do you? And if Canada and the US descended from the United Kingdom, how come the British Isles still exist? Huh? How come??

Obviously, it’s all the work of an Intelligent Geographer!"

Well said. And where's the missing link between Britain and Canada? Where's is the cold rainy island filled with misquitos where people with bad teeth and frostbite say "'ello guvna, eh?"

Victoria/Vancouver Island?

Victoria/Vancouver Island?

You don't even know how right you are. Victoria doesn't even know what a "building code" is.

Re: Ten Questions to Ask Your History Teacher

Just to clarify here: The "Normans" are a group of people from "Normandy," a geographic location in France. The "Normans" are certainly not a group of people named Norman. William the Conqueror, did IN FACT, lead the Normans (a group of people from France, not people named "Norman") to conquer the the southern part of the British island in 1066.

Secondly, there is an amazing amount of evidence supporting George Washington's existence. Continental Congress records, archived letters referencing him, his own personal papers. Not to mention army records, land ownership papers and personal property. Also, just because there "are no photographs of a person" does not mean they didn't exist. We don't have photographs of Jesus, Moses, Noah, Adam or any of the Biblical Kings, but we still believe that they existed. Photography was invented in the early 1800s, and was not perfected within Washinton's lifetime.

Thirdly, when the Revolutionary war is described as being won by a series of small victories, it does not describe : "random, undirected sequence of military engagements." They weren't random attacks, they were targeted to have the maximum effect with minimal resources. They were certainly directed, the Continental Army was led by a great many leaders, George Washington, John Burgoyne, Howe, etc (see http://americanrevwar.homestead.com/files/GENERALS.htm)

Any questions?

Yes. Were you there?

You see, the problem with making a claim is that you must then support said claim with evidence and logic. Just stating a thing as fact, like George Washington existed because we have paintings of the man, should be met with the same skepticism we reserve for the Muslim who says Buraq existed and took Muhammad up the Heaven and back again because we we have paintings of the beast.

A historical character existed because there exists a painting of it?

After all this time, the atheist still cannot refute the Truth. What an exhausting life it must be to work so hard to constantly try to deny reality.

Re: Ten Questions to Ask Your History Teacher

Exhausting would be the least of it! And all the other mumbojumbo they have to twist their heads around, "an image of the moon is not an idol" for example despite God actually explaining what an idol is in exhaustive detail. And then there's their odious "prophet" whose actions utterly refute any connection with actual Prophets in The Bible. When, for example, the socialist teacher starts promoting false religions as culturally significant there's a great opportunity to raise

QUESTION 1 ORIGIN OF GOVERNMENTS .. (#1)

since not only do the desert realms claim magic horses flying up as evidence for their tyrants' right to rule but a whole other raft of demonic hallucinations too! These wretches have the most rotten form of government ever all they seem to do is run around murdering each other which pretty well defines what NO GOVERNMENT looks like. Ask your teacher about that! Do the claims of those leaders, concerning origins of the sharia, stack up?

Point out what God said:

Leviticus 26:3-6 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

If indeed the mohammedan leaders were following God as they claim, their world would not be like it is. Remind your teacher that in every respect these places demonstrate the exact opposite of what God promised for those who walk in His statutes and keep His commandments. Therefore the clerics and ayatollahs and sultans and princes or whatever they call themselves are lying when they arrogate Divine privilege to themselves which has produced a collapsed society. The the socialist promotion of false religions as culturally significant therefore has no merit and as such is deceptive.

Say to your teacher, "Why are you deceiving me? Either you don't know what it's like in those countries in which case you are lying about having knowledge or you do know but are lying about what goes on there."

Then make a statement of fact: "Liars should not teach!"

This applies to secularist schools. Christian educators do know and tell you The Truth. But be aware that many teachers claiming to be Christians are not Christians at all. Usually in that case they don't even know what's in The Bible. Read it. Don't be afraid to question them. If they are liars they need to be told. Don't be afraid to tell them.

But the first thing is to read The Bible.
