Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
"Purpose Precedes Creation" presentation Tuesday, Jan. 26, 7:30pm
Ever wonder "Why in the world are butterflies so stunningly beautiful?"* Why are their wing patterns tiny works of art? If they just evolved from the primordial ooze, as evolutionists believe, why are their wing designs orderly and artfully arranged, instead of just an accidental hodgepodge of color? For that matter, how do you explain their complicated life cycle and migration patterns?
On a less glamorous subject, "What purpose do organs such as the appendix serve? and what can we conclude from the life-sustaining perfection of every variable in earth's physical existence?" Years ago, the appendix and tonsils were thought to be useless parts. Today we know differently. They have a purpose.
Tuesday night, local business executive Gerald Frye of Elm Grove, will explore the topic, God's Purposes in Creation, at the Creation Science Society of Milwaukee's monthly meeting.
If you have ever wondered about Creation Science or Intelligent Design, Tuesday's meeting should be informative and interesting. The meeting is free and open to the public.
Tuesday, January 26, 2010, 7:30pm
Brookside Baptist Church Auditorium
4470 N. Pilgrim Road
Brookfield, WI
*Quotes are from Gerald Frye
Also coming up: Creation Worldview Weekend in West Bend on February, 19, 20, and 21. This seminar is also FREE and open to the public.

dbeardda....excellent point. Kyle...it's great to have faith and beliefs while seeking the truth about something. But spreading your faith and beliefs as the truth is when problems arise. That's the problem with all these different religions and why there is so much violence because of religion. There are so many holes in your beliefs though.....as an intelligent person you really should look at the whole religion thing a little closer....you owe it to yourself and others you try to convince of the truth about our creation.

Come on folks, have a heart. You are telling a three-year-old that there is no such thing as Santa Claus. Number one, do you think she is going to believe you? Number two, why would you want her to?

Tarzan should not make comments about poor spelling, he can't even speak to be understood. A poorly spelled word does not change the presentation or discussion. I.E. Rembrandt Weakland really paints a poor picture of the Catholic religion, your jungle brain may not have understood that sarcasmmmmm.

God only creates the good things in life; Satan makes the bad. Unless it's a war about religion, oil or anything that would compromise national security. Those things are fought in God's name.

Also, if these first animals did not prey on each other, what did all the predator species eat?

Carpie, True, I am not a perfect speller or even a very good one ;-), as for your more important comment, I will refer you to an excellent source: Answers in Genesis: Why Does God's Creation Include Death & Suffering? http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/nab/why-does-creation-include-suffering

Have fun with your monkeys one way or another that will end you also. Not a pleasant way to go. Spirituality or no Spirituality.You ought to invite El Gator over for a monkey party and brush up on your spelling critique that really means nothing to anyone. Have a lousy day,

Tarzan still giggling.
Tarzan agree with CarpieD about poor spelling. Tarzan also say eat more fruit.

Based on some of your insipid comments above, does that make us all sinners for eating meat. fish and fowl? By your reasoning, it would. Since Satan must have caused us to eat something other than fruits and vegetables. (Unless carrion was part of the early diet of mankind. No, animals would not have died on their own.) I guess I'll just have to ask my minister for the answers...oh wait...nevermind.
Read Bishop John Spong. A good writer explaining the contradictions and mythical, yet morality-based nature of the bible. (My fundamentalist sister-in-law was too afraid to even pick it up, when she'd seen it on my coffee table. Implied that I would be cast into a pool of eternal fire for reading it.)

How did all these things problems occur if God did not create them?
Oh yes, and what is it with all those pesky dinosaur, early hominid, and billions of other fossils, those strange sedimentary layers everywhere, those strange readings on every radiocarbon analyzing instrument ever put into use...

Who said God created this 6000 years ago? Is the exact timeline stated by year? Who were the original authors and the revisers, editors, and reviewers of the original transcript along with precise dates of each revision?
Microbes and other organisms have repeatedly demonstrated evolution to be a fact. Evolution is what I believe to be God's greatest idea put into action, it is an astonishing creation. To say evolution does not exist is to take away his greatest accomplishment!
Why does cancer exist again, especially the very insipid painful forms, including those that inflict children? Couldn't God's perfect, or at least very good, creativity at least have given his chosen people whom he loves a less terrible form of death. Do young and newborns deserve sometimes painful death because he was scorned by A and E. 6000 years ago? It is all connected, you can't say God created Everything, and it was perfect oh BUT bad things are not his fault at all. He allowed free will, but why place that rebellious desire in the brain he meticulously crafted in his image?

"Was God’s Creation Really 'Very Good'?
In the beginning, about 6,000 years ago, ...God “saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good” (Genesis 1:31).
To have been very good, God’s creation must have been without blemish, defect, disease, suffering, or death. There was no “survival of the fittest.” Animals did not prey on each other, and the first two humans, Adam and Eve, did not kill animals for food. The original creation was a beautiful place, full of life and joy in the presence of the Creator."
