January 23, 200718 yr evolution = proven religion = bullshit + lies + more bullshit + unproven bullshit BIBLE - the BIg Book of LiEs Evolution is not proven theres a lot of evidence but its called a theory for a reason.
January 23, 200718 yr I could possibly buy the thought of evolving from apes, because of the striking similarities, however I just don't buy the evolution theory of how the first forms of life (single celled organisms came about.) I don't care what kind of gasses, atmospheric conditions, proteins, nucleic acids, or molecule reactions occur. I believe that you cannot create living things from non-living things. Many scientists believe it was a chemical reaction that created life... However, they have been unable to create a living cell from nonliving matter to this point. Until they can do that, I believe in a higher power. Although I don't think any religion has it down quite right. Plus, I have experienced too much unexplainable shit to deny the existance of an afterlife.

January 23, 200718 yr If they did, they would probably find that the theory on the beginnings of evolution seem "bogus," much like how they feel about the beginnings of the God religions. I try to find a middle ground myself. 1.The only thing worse than a relativist is an agnostic. 2. Obviously you know little about evolution also. Evolution does not explain a beginning of life, only its progress. The beginning of life only had to be a series of elements for a self-replicating chemical compound. While this sounds very improbable, it is. It doesn't matter how improbable it is, since it only had to happen once. Please remove yourself from this attempt at intelligent debate.

Plus, I have experienced too much unexplainable shit to deny the existance of an afterlife. How does it strike you that you're made of non-living elements, chemicals, compounds, and acids? If that is established fact, then why is it such a leap of faith to believe that a random series of chemicals and compounds formed into a self replicating compound, much like a crystal? It is a much larger leap of faith to believe in a mind reading, wish granting fairy that just created life cause shit got boring. Plus, I have experienced too much unexplainable shit to deny the existance of an afterlife. So, because you cannot explain something or wish to stay ignorant, you make a very broad connection to some cloud land where you pluck at a fucking harp all day?
January 23, 200718 yr I agree with Spooned, though the explanations for the creation of the universe in both camps is not very believeable. I am sure that the creation of life from a scientific point of view is A LOT more likely than from a higher being. People makes excuses for coincidences. That website had some good points (but also quite a few bad ones), such as why amputees or starving people don't have their prayers answered. Everything just happens there is no connection between your actions and a god. Some things can't happen, such as growing back an arm, but it isn't impossible to get cured by cancer. I'd rather believe evolution anyway, it's cooler and doesn't involve religion. I have faith in man alone because of the advancements we make everyday. Just look at the possibility of curing AIDs and cancer. We have a vaccine for cervical cancer. Many diseases have been wiped out. Sure there is still war and suffering, but religion is a cause for this. And power of course, but human flaws are to be expected. Evolution is a progression, and we see progression now. Why is it so hard to believe? Religion is a safety blanket maybe? Mind you I'm not highly educated, but I can still think rationally.
January 23, 200718 yr We have a vaccine for cervical cancer. Incorrect, we have a vaccine for just over half the cases of cervical cancer.
January 23, 200718 yr personally evolution, but i would like to believe all of the other stuff for one reason.... if there is no god, what the fuck happens when you die :O_o:
January 23, 200718 yr Incorrect, we have a vaccine for just over half the cases of cervical cancer. good enough, i said it cuz hes aussie so hes m3n btw: ur sig = weird and i cant look away
January 23, 200718 yr personally evolution, but i would like to believe all of the other stuff for one reason.... if there is no god, what the fuck happens when you die :O_o: Your blood hemolyses, purging fluids are excreted and can be seen exiting your bodily orifices, and your body decomposes into detritus thanks to worms, mold and carrion eaters, and nematodes convert the detritus into base elements and compounds.
January 23, 200718 yr ok, here is how the universe etc was made: BLANK unable to understand thanks to human sized brian.....BIGBANG practicly a huge explosion in this vast space we call the universe, GRAVITY from a huge rock pulled in dust and other rocks to create this shitty planet and the sun etc, CHANCE in the infinite of bigbangs that have happend over infinite time we where created by chemistry on this tiny rock, evolution, DNA into cells into tissue into animal of some kind that happend over time to create humans, HUMANS create religion thanks to a fear of death and unexplained, myg0t was made, this thread became popular, i wrote this....DEATH yes we are ALL going to die sooner or later so lets get used to it. THE END.
January 23, 200718 yr Al Gore is the new Jesus trying to warn us about global warming so we can be Raptured on an Electric Minibus. rifkens
January 23, 200718 yr well i was reading the serious posts andd some of oyu bring up good points i believe in God, parts of evolution seem believable to me, but not sure if i do believe it myself but i'm not one to force my opinion onto others you don't believe it okay. i do, okay.

Whats the point in having an opinion if you dont force it onto other people.
January 23, 200718 yr what's the point of forcing it onto a bunch of people if it's useless to? i could sit here and try to convince you to believe in everything i do all day you just will have counter-beliefes. and it doesn't bother me. but im not going to waist my time.
January 23, 200718 yr Atheist pride. I'm so fucking sick of these 'hardcore Christians', man they fucking waste their life. It's all fucking made up jesus christ.

I was kidding it pisses me off when people try to force their beliefs onto other people.
January 23, 200718 yr READ WHAT THE FUCK I SAID ITS THE GOD DAMN TRUTH END OF THREAD No. Shut the fuck up.

Please remove yourself from this attempt at intelligent debate. learn how to read, I said beginnings of evolution tard, work on your apprehension skills before you attempt to 1 up someone obviously smarter than you, thx my views stand firm, regardless of what this thread has to offer for reasons stated in my previous post if you really want the true facts read what the experts have to say then decide for yourself, don't just go by what you have been told (most of this is biased because the school system is biased because of the religion issue) because most of that probably scratches the surface at best on the topic (previously mentioned, this goes for everyone who claims they have made up their mind to be on 1 side of the issue)
January 23, 200718 yr I can force my opinions onto other people by beating them, starving them, depriving them of fluids, sleep, etc. Therefore, if I believe in Allah I can make you believe in Allah aswell. Therefore I win at this thread.

My school was highly religious and we often had people come in to talk to us about Christianity and how he isn't the real thing. I got that side of the story down pat. Now I think it is perfectly reasonable to make up my own mind, just using simple logic. I am yet to reasearch the evolution side of things more, but as it stands I am atheist who believes in evolution. So I will definitely look into the theory in the future. One last opinion: you're an arrogant little bastard, aren't you.
January 23, 200718 yr Just to point this out to you guys, and I hope most of you already know this, but the whole reason we call this time the year 2007 is because of Jesus.
