How can a great organization like the UPCI actually stand up and vote WITH a resolution that was sold with the behind-closed-doors catch phrase, "Every movement needs a bowel movement...?" The General Conference actually stood and affirmed that statement.
That was this same scenario working out on a different set of issues. There are thousands of insane and crazy voices that seek to sway our fellowships. coadie is just one example. Because of crazed and simply nonsensical statements and assertions from people like coadie (and Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, Arlo Moehlenpah et al.) many if not most Apostolics have a simply insane understanding of the natural world.
That's not healthy for any of us. We need you. We need your Apostolic witness and testimony. But we also need you thinking clearly and behaving rationally. There's a lot at stake. Wise up. Stir yourselves. Rise to this challenge with all of the faith in your hearts.

The question I posed is Evolutionism a religion.
Then Pelthais starts pounding the pulpit and preeching. Apparently it is a religious proposition for him.
He has more evangelizing zeal than most Christians. No fresh science but a lot of wiki pics.
Pelthais represents the heathen side of the insane world.

Pelthais is the one with questionable mental health. I haven't evaluated him but we have seen a lot of zealots like this when I did inpatient clinical rotations.
I don't have a problem with us holy rollers being strange but
insane because we can't stretch our imaginations to include life forming from slime pits and humans coming from knuckle draggers is a maladaptive worldview.
