Another question: if God is perfection, why is his creation so imperfect?


Just wondering where it is written that God said He or She was perfect...And perhaps his creation is perfect in his eyes.

Butch, that's what I heard when I was little. Granted, I was surrounded by Catholics and it was in another language, so possibly it doesn't translate into American protestantism. But this is literally what they used to say: "Dieu est un pur esprit, infiniment parfait."

Aucun numéro 6 le Français n'a créé le monde, ou des pommes frites pour cette matière.
(No number 6 the french did not create the world, or french fries for that matter.)

Sorry, but it was Belgum.

"Many Americans attribute the dish to France — although in France they are almost exclusively thought of as Belgian — and offer as evidence a notation by U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. "Pommes de terre frites à cru, en petites tranches" ("Potatoes deep-fried while raw, in small cuttings") are noted in a manuscript in Thomas Jefferson's hand (circa 1801-1809)"

quote:

Belgians claim that "French" fries are in fact Belgian, but definitive evidence for the origin is difficult to present.


I kinda think this is an instance of multiple origin (it does not require genius to have the idea of frying a potato).

Anyway can we agree that they didn't invent French toast?  But their wines are great and their women give great head?

We were famous once upon a time; the best we can hope for these days is the French being confused with the Belgians thus enabling us to sneak into second place in the contest for discovery of the lowest form of vegetable on the planet......a contest that is ours to lose by birthright, too.

Edited to add: OK, my memory was wrong (or else I rightly remember reading something that was wrong); "vegetable" is not a scientific term and is used to refer to the edible portion of any plant whatsoever.  So potatoes are indeed vegetables.

However, I'd like to know how come the Incas never thought of deep frying the humble potato because they had them long enough before anyone else got their hands on them. Apparently they've been eaten around that neck of the woods for at least 2500 years, almost as old as the world and while we're at it, they have a higher intelligence than creationists. The potatoes do, not necessarily the INcas but I suspect they do too.

Nope...Since the 1860’s Most French wine is really American… at least French grape grafted to American roots anyway.
