Okay after doing some thinking I have figured out something.

If darwinisim is true then the not so smart animals/humans would be dead.
But look around you there are alot of non smart humans who are near the top of society.
Like george bush.

So this is my take on how life ight have been created in the begining god created the earth for man and then when he was preparing the earth, animals where made by the darwinist theory of evoloution so that the less well of animlas would die.
But then when god created man he gave him and her compassion for his or hers fellow man.

How can so many people who believe in god be wrong.

Something does not have to be touched to be real.

Atheists and liberals I must say.
If you believe that all men are equal then why do you make us look evil, feel insignifacant, treat us like we or medieval and acient and why do you wnat to seperate church and state if you want to be a part off our life then actually regocnize that we are the majority.

youve clearly misunderstood natural selection, which whether you agree with evolution or not, is a pretty accurate model. natural selection does not weed out the 'stupid creatures', it weeds out thoes unable to protect their long term genetic interests.....

Strangely I feel completely the opposite, that this is all there is til we can discover more about it through Scientific Discovery,
And I most definately feel that talking to most religious peops that there is one God too many.

If we allow those people who believe sex is a big nono, not to go around and pollute vulnerable minds, maybe we can evolve out of religion, now there is a thought, maybe a prolific STD that kills you, and only a Condom can save you... woohoo the Catholic Church is Killing its own, Rejoice...

False. This is like saying because computer technology evolves (and it does!) there are no obsolete computers around.


But look around you there are alot of non smart humans who are near the top of society.

I don't think he's nearly as stupid as his speech and policies would have everyone believe.

So this is my take on how life ight have been created in the begining god created the earth for man and then when he was preparing the earth, animals where made by the darwinist theory of evoloution so that the less well of animlas would die.

Darwinism is actually pretty outdated. Evolution has come a long way since him. But otherwise there isn't anything inherently *wrong* about this belief; a lot of theists accept that evolution may be God's way of 'creation.'


But then when god created man he gave him and her compassion for his or hers fellow man.

Some people have compassion. Human history shows that compassion is largely irrelevant.


How can so many people who believe in god be wrong.

This is a logical error; appeal to popularity. Just because a lot of people believe something doesn't validate that belief. A lot of people used to believe the Earth is flat too, remember?


Something does not have to be touched to be real.

True enough. But hardly "proof" of anything.


If you believe that all men are equal then why do you make us look evil, feel insignifacant, treat us like we or medieval and acient and why do you wnat to seperate church and state if you want to be a part off our life then actually regocnize that we are the majority.

Well, for one thing you're actually using a medieval theological argument.

For another, you ARE insignificant, just like everyone else.

Lastly, even Christians in the majority wanted to separate Church and State. The Founding Fathers knew their shit. There's a REASON Churches are Churches and City Hall is City Hall.

Excuse me? With the advent of technology we are now able to create the finest sunsets known to man. No other sunsets in history have been cause by the glowing radioactive dust particles that once made up ones worst enemy. Ponder on it, and think on these few lines:

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight,
Red sky in the morning, four minute warning.

Human cultural institutions exist to prevent stupid humans from dying as a result of their stupidity.

Natural selection's impact on humans has been drastically reduced. Financial and ideological selection put Bush in charge.and who set up those Institutions... Humans with compassion and a need to not see the slow, sick and stupid die a "Needless" death. that's why alot of Genetic conditions still prevail.

To be Cold Hearted here, if we (as humans) allowed those genetic defects, those illnesses passed from Parent to child to die out. wouldn't the race be stronger (genetic-wise) for it? isn't that the logical choice to make instead of burdening Family Members with the cost for the treatments to repress the desease?

no animal species would go to the extent we humans go through to save another. Our compassion (or perhaps Passion is a better word,) is mirrored in other animals but never to the extent we humans have.

When you were a little kid did you ever have the gut feeling that the boogeyman was hiding under your bed or in your closet?

If gut feelings count as evidence then you must also believe in the existence of the boogeyman.
no. for the record, I didn't fear the Boogeyman.

and realize alot of people do rely on Gut Feelings.

Not saying weather or not the original premise is true, but it is something to think about.

The fact is that Cthulhu can still invade the minds of inferior species, like humans, even while he lies dead in his sunken city. He does so in order to command his cultists to prepare to come and open the door to his residence when R'lyeh rises.

As a liberal, and somewhat of an atheist, I think I can say that we don't look upon creationists as "evil" just "unfortunatly raised to beleive this crazy shit". Most of the attitudes held by the chritian church today are highly medieval, and are manipulative of christian scripture. Creationists are not the majority. (in canada) 12% of people feel that god either created the universe or that some higher being had something to do with it. Although I'm sure this number is much higher in places like the US or France, creationists are not a majority. Liberatarians who beleive the church and the state should be seperate do not want to be a part of yours, or of anyone else's private life.

Athiests do you not feel sad for destroyin 200 yeras of christian faith.
Do you not feel upset of what you have done.


I don't feel a shred of regret for my failure to be conned into a belife in anything supernatural. Failure to find compeling reasons to belive in something that never existed is hardly the same as destroying it.


And even if it were somehow possible, your logic calls for Christians to be terribly sad for destroying many other religions (and arguably more so, since Christianity has demonstrably done so.)

By the way, do you not feel sad for your disrespect towards Christianity. I'm Buddhist, not Christian, but at least I have the courtesy to respectfully capitalise the name.

Evoloution is based on sound scientific reasoning and is belevied by most, if not all of the scientific community.
Creationism or Intelligent Design is based on a 2000 year old book.

The fact is, us humans are jsut so good at surviving that even the shitty humans can. People at the top who are dumb are just front-men for large scale control systems. They exist because its easier to focus our feelings on an individual person than on an system.


How can so many people who beleive in darwanism be wrong?

As a liberal, and somewhat of an atheist, I think I can say that we don't look upon creationists as "evil" just "unfortunatly raised to beleive this crazy shit". Most of the attitudes held by the chritian church today are highly medieval, and are manipulative of christian scripture. Creationists are not the majority. (in canada) 12% of people feel that god either created the universe or that some higher being had something to do with it. Although I'm sure this number is much higher in places like the US or France, creationists are not a majority. Liberatarians who beleive the church and the state should be seperate do not want to be a part of yours, or of anyone else's private life.


Actually, in the USA, a majority believes that God created man in his present form.

I find it ironic too, since Atheism existed before Catholicism did, in fact, it dates back to Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Despite that people have polytheistic beliefs, they didn't have infallible Gods.

And if we're going 200-odd years ago, we can blame secularism.

Evolution is based on measurements, observations and intelligent analysis to find the most likely explanation.

Creationism is based on a dream or vision (noone was actually there until the "sixth day"). Most dreams and visions, including ones given by God use symbols and are generally not interpreted literally. Remember Joseph, pharaoh and the 14 cows? The Bible doesn't even claim that the "six days" of evolution were consecutive.

Is it so hard to believe that both Darwin and the Bible are right?

Okay after doing some thinking I have figured out something.

If darwinisim is true then the not so smart animals/humans would be dead.
But look around you there are alot of non smart humans who are near the top of society.


Yes, that is true, but first of all, 'dumb' animals exist (such as yourself), because some times idiocy has paid off, for example, 5000 years ago, Bob, the tribe idiot, saw a tiger. He had a spear, but most hunters, even skilled hunters, died when trying to kill a tiger, but Bob attacked the tiger. He got lucky and killed it. The meat of the tiger was enough to save Bob's tribe from starvation. Because of this, his idiot sperm went into several women, most of whom gave a little idiot child. This way, the idiot gene pool spread (think about it, you're part of that gene pool - you must be related to Bob!).

You see, idiocy actually saves sometimes...

Also, why idiots at the top of society? If you thought George W. Bush actually was at the top of society because he earned it, you're wrong. Bush never made an honest dollar in his life, it was either taken from daddy (who got the money from his relatives), another person, or from a special interest group (the Saudi Royals, for example).

The only reason idiots make it to the top is because of our modern capitalistic society where any weak-willed bastard can make it to the top if his daddy was rich or had good connections.

The Old Testament is supposed to be 'written by God' if you will, because he supposedly told the prophets what to write.
Being written by God and being written by a prophet is a completely different thing. Some of the books just make no sense whatsoever, for example the book that describes Mose's death and funeral was supposedly written by Moses himself :rolleyes: The stories contradict each other, sometimes within the same book. Read Genesis - there are two different Genesis stories. Stuff like Genesis cant have been written by prophets or eye witnesses, and can only have be written based on myth and fokelore.

The Old Testament is relatively unchanged (although translatons change the meaning a little bit, but not enough to actually change the whole book) but you're right when it comes to the New Testament, there are many different translations, mainly due to when the Protestants tried to change things around, not that it really matters anyway, cause the whole concept of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (and perhaps all religions, not only the three Abrahamic faiths) is bullshit anyways.

Jesus already came back. He tried appearing to the masses four years ago (I'm serious, exactly four, everyone should commemorate his failure on this date every year) but he was rusty on this whole descending from the heavens trick and ended up somewhere in the atlantic ocean. He doggy paddled for a while and ended up at Australia. He lives with me now, he's kind of lost touch with his father and he's only a shell of his former self. He's trying to recapture his youth by starting up a Christian R and B group called The Pious Playaz. He says he's going to bring the new age of Christ when people take him seriously as a musician

They've been saying that for 2006 years mate.

2 Peter
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

and

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

and finally

15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

so, yes, Jesus is coming, look busy! [old joke worth repeating]

The reason why you can't answer the questions is because there are no answers, creationalism/intelligent design is BULLSHIT!

Scientific evidence clearly goes against your Abrahamic crap, so just shut-up and stop believing in your little shit.

Oh, and Christ isn't comming anytime soon. In fact, "Christ" isn't comming at all, and he never came in the first place. "Christ" means "Messiah," so how can the Messiah come when God doesn't exist in the first place?

Okay after doing some thinking I have figured out something.

If darwinisim is true then the not so smart animals/humans would be dead.
But look around you there are alot of non smart humans who are near the top of society.
Like george bush.

So this is my take on how life ight have been created in the begining god created the earth for man and then when he was preparing the earth, animals where made by the darwinist theory of evoloution so that the less well of animlas would die.
But then when god created man he gave him and her compassion for his or hers fellow man.

How can so many people who believe in god be wrong.

Something does not have to be touched to be real.

Atheists and liberals I must say.
If you believe that all men are equal then why do you make us look evil, feel insignifacant, treat us like we or medieval and acient and why do you wnat to seperate church and state if you want to be a part off our life then actually regocnize that we are the majority.

Come on christians it is the time.
Science has destroyed you sure we have so much technology but science kills unborn babies, it kills people, sunsets are no longer amazing because science has destroyed us.

And Science has created everything good around you. I don't remember the binary coding needed to make your BIOS work being scripted in the bible. I don't remember the instructions to lay cable or DSL or internet wiring for your internet in the bible. I do not remember how to produce central heating is described in the bible.

Let us look at many major wars in History. At least 50% of them have been caused by religion; to name a few, the Jihad against America (the country you live in, by the sound of it), the Nazi's were religiously inspired to destroy Judaism, the Israel-Arab wars.

What has religion done for us? Absolutely nothing. What has science done for us? Created our world. Created civilisation. Science can prove things. Religion states them and demands that faith be inspired.

Your faith is strong. Is it stronger than the Titanium Chobham Composite used in Challenger 2 Armour? Is it stronger than the energy released from an SS-N-22 SLBM? Can it defeat a squadron of Harrier FA.2 fighter bombers? No. Your faith may be "strong" but it is not invincible. It cannot defeat what technology and science have bred.

I concur with Bottle here. Give it a few years and te hormones will start pumping and you'll end up a rebellious little teenager and may very well end up an atheist yourself! Give yourself some time to figure things out for yourself, do some some research into various points of view, do some soul-searching of your own and come, as Bottle says, to an informed decision.

You've got plenty of time ahead of you to explore your own spirituality, or lack thereof if you choose to go that route. I admire faith, but give yourself a chance here!

funny.. in Christianity, faith is not simply just believing. it is believing in something because there is EVIDENCE. the thing is, that thing we believe is not yet there. but there is EVIDENCE for it.

now here is the tricky part... you can't have faith without a relationship with Jesus Christ. you can't believe something some guy said over 2000 years ago if you don't have any personal experience with Him.

Christians believe that Jesus IS ALIVE TODAY. If you look at the sum of your existence, and look at the experiences in your life that turned you away from Christ, you'll also see all the experiences in your life that God tried to use to bring you to Him.

I haven't read this entire thread because my stomach can only take so much. Let me make one point which is seldom made: If the Theory of Evolution is entirely wrong that would add no confirmation to any other theory including the Bible. They could both be wrong.

Second point. Evolution has so much evidence in its favor that it simply cannot be wrong in its entirety. That does not mean it is all correct or that there is nothing left to question. That is not the way science operates. A theory is an explanation which combines a number of facts usefully and which suggests others which can be disproved. A scientific theory is valued for its "fruitfulness"--which means the generation of further research questions. So the fact that the Theory of Evolution leaves many questions unanswered is one of its major strengths.

The last century has seen a host of studies which test the historical accuracy of the Bible: archaeology, history, textual studies, etc. The ones done by serious scholars give little comfort to the believer. If you avoid the mindless nonsense put of those with phoney "doctorates" from Redneck Bible College you can learn a lot from books.

funny.. in Christianity, faith is not simply just believing. it is believing in something because there is EVIDENCE. the thing is, that thing we believe is not yet there. but there is EVIDENCE for it.

now here is the tricky part... you can't have faith without a relationship with Jesus Christ. you can't believe something some guy said over 2000 years ago if you don't have any personal experience with Him.

Christians believe that Jesus IS ALIVE TODAY. If you look at the sum of your existence, and look at the experiences in your life that turned you away from Christ, you'll also see all the experiences in your life that God tried to use to bring you to Him.

Grow up, most Atheists have had a "personal relationship" with 'Christ' but they realized what a load of BS it really is. Oh, and no, Christians don't believe that Jesus "is alive today," except for the few minority Protestants (majority makes up Roman Catholic and various Orthodox churches who don't believe in this new age crap).

I've had a "personal relationship" with your God at one time, until I grew up to understand logic and reason. If God and Satan exist, I would align myself with Satan, the first Revolutionary, who uses logic, reason, and intelligence against the punitive little twap who is Yahweh to some, Jehova to others, and Allah to yet other others (lol, sounds funny, 'other others').

This is my little present to all the xtians on this site:

God is not possible. Omnipotence isn't possible. Observe.

Can an omnipotent being create a stone it cannot lift?

1. The being can either create a stone which it cannot lift, or it cannot create a stone which it cannot lift.
2. If the being can create a stone which it cannot lift, then it is not omnipotent.
3. If the being cannot create a stone which it cannot lift, then it is not omnipotent.

Athiests do you not feel sad for destroyin 200 yeras of christian faith.
Do you not feel upset of what you have done.

Well, Christianity has certainly produced some great things. Beautiful architecture, the collected works of Bach, Händel, and so on (that are vastly superior to the anti-Christian themed music of Marilyn Manson or Black Sabbath).

However, that doesn't change the fact that Christianity has done a lot of bad. It has gotten millions killed for truly stupid reasons. It has raised submission, ignorance, and exclusivism to the status of holy virtues. It has brought forth a deluge of stupid laws and social mores against consensual and enjoyable activities.

There is no reason that I'm aware of that we can't have great architecture or music without Christianity. The relatively low quality of Black Sabbath or Marilyn Manson stems from their attempts to cash in on coolness, not their religious values, and I doubt Bach was only a good composer because he was Christian.

:rolleyes:
I think that quite nicely sums this topic up.

What truly terrifies me personally is how God is described.
God is omnipotent, omnipresent and all good. By such logic, the wold we live in is "The best of all worlds." I have a very very hard time swollowing that.

How odd... I used to have the very same relationship, but then I went through the same maturity process. Isn't it funny? :D

I haven't read this entire thread because my stomach can only take so much. Let me make one point which is seldom made: If the Theory of Evolution is entirely wrong that would add no confirmation to any other theory including the Bible. They could both be wrong.

Second point. Evolution has so much evidence in its favor that it simply cannot be wrong in its entirety. That does not mean it is all correct or that there is nothing left to question. That is not the way science operates. A theory is an explanation which combines a number of facts usefully and which suggests others which can be disproved. A scientific theory is valued for its "fruitfulness"--which means the generation of further research questions. So the fact that the Theory of Evolution leaves many questions unanswered is one of its major strengths.

The last century has seen a host of studies which test the historical accuracy of the Bible: archaeology, history, textual studies, etc. The ones done by serious scholars give little comfort to the believer. If you avoid the mindless nonsense put of those with phoney "doctorates" from Redneck Bible College you can learn a lot from books.

interesting. so... you're saying that you want to put things that MIGHT be true as a curriculum in schools. why not the idea of creationism? it MIGHT be true. there are alot of useful facts that can be disproved. would it help if we removed the word "God" from the curriculum? because i'm pretty sure THAT'S the real issue.

and, for all your "serious" scholars, this century proved them to be nothing more than glory hounds.

Halaj, was that a triple or quadrouple post? *sighs* how sad...

Anyways, you do not give any reliable evidence, logic, reason, et cetera supporting your theory. Once again, xtians make fools of themselves. Give me something smart, logical, reasonable (I know, these words are foreign to you), and then I will properly debate you.

Can an omnipotent being create a stone it cannot lift?

1. The being can either create a stone which it cannot lift, or it cannot create a stone which it cannot lift.
2. If the being can create a stone which it cannot lift, then it is not omnipotent.
3. If the being cannot create a stone which it cannot lift, then it is not omnipotent.

why can't it be both? a stone that he cannot lift, but can be lifted? what if... say... he created a stone that cannot be lifted because of his nature. but he could because of his power. wouldn't that meet the qualifications for that unliftable liftable stone?

No. If he cannot lift it, it means he is not all-powerful, because if he was he could lift the stone. Don't think you can just settle that paradox :D

What actual evidence for "creationism" is there?
Which "serious"scholars have been shown as "glory hounds"? Are they all of them?

This is proof that faith is stronget then anything.
And you think that is a GOOD thing? Darling, your faith should never be stronger than your own reason, lest faith overpower the one quality that distinguishes consciousness from psychosis.

I know the world is scary and confusing, particularly when you are 13, but the worst possible thing you can do is throw up your hands and resort to blind faith. Confronting reality is frightening at first, but the longer you wait to do it the harder it will get. If you allow yourself to start huddling away from reality, then you'll end up missing out on your entire life because you are so busy trying to avoid anything that might challenge the preconceptions you picked out when you were 13 years old.


How come I have not stopped talking.
I'd like to think it's because part of you wants something more from your life. Perhaps you are just too shy to ask the questions that are on your mind, or you are not yet ready to deal with your own skepticism and curiosity.

I do tend to joke around and play rough some times, but if you're at all interested in moving beyond the realm of fairy tales then I would be delighted to help show you some of the wonders you've been missing out on...the world you live in is an amazing place, far more amazing than any stories about magic and fairies.
