I think that about sums up my feelings on this subject.

As you can tell by my flurry of

words

I'm very convinced my words beat your words in the word war.

See you in the trenches!

And you forgot the: "I think anyone who acts like they know the unknowable is an arrogant dick. Be in god created the world in 7 days or darwin created it in 3."

and vice versa. but thus far every argument from creationsists/intelligent design people I've ever heard entirely falls flat, usually something around the lines of "you can't disprove it, so that proves it".

i think we were created by evolution, but i do believe in god. Just my own god.

beachguy, that's one of the most intelligent religious answers I've heard yet.

that because you are high mrdevious =D

oh and beachguy, that's one of the most intelligent religious answers I've heard yet.
=D peace

LOL, I couldn't vote. It's kind of like "Do you want peanut butter or jelly on your peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" I just cut it off before it was even possible to debate the existence of a God. Of course, according to the Bible, the first humans on Earth were aware of God. That's impossible, because then our beliefs would be instinctively ingrained instead of wide-ranging. Even if "The Devil" had corrupted Man, everyone of us still would have been born spiritual. The same way we're all, supposedly, born with The Original Sin, like it or not. Belief or not.
We have physical evidence of Evolution on parts of our bodies. A Supreme-Being would not create us with the single purpose of confusion.

While the Bible says that everything was created in 6 days, it also says that to God, a second is like a thousand years...I guess one would need to be a scholar in Arabic to determine the root meanings of the words to decipher what time frame it means exactly.

Also, something I've always wondered...what did a platypus evolve from? A duck and a beaver? I wonder which was the "mom" & which was the "dad".

And something else...if we're evolved from Apes, how come there aren't dog-people, cat-people, dolphin-people, etc? I know apes are smart & all, but I've seen studies where parrots out-performed chimps, so I don't know if it has much to do with the brain size.

This is the stupidest argument I've ever read. It's clear to me that you have absolutely no idea what evolution really is. Go do some real research then come back.

The reason is that in that thousand years, crime, vice, violence, drunkenness, disease, mortality, brutality, exploitation and injustice were immeasurably worse than before or after. Yet, they are the time when the church was at its most powerful, when cathedrals were built, bishops lived in palaces and many of the male population were churchmenâ??monks, priests, bishops, friars, templars, hospitallers, priors, lay brothers.

k.

We are living in an age when ignorant Christian mobs are once again trying to replace science and knowledge with religious rituals. If we donâ??t learn from history, they will again throw us into another 1,000-year period of â??The Dark Agesâ?�.

Firstly, this is riddled with inaccuracies. I don't mean to make this personal so I won't, but I would also appreciate it if you showed a little respect.

Secondly, I know my history. Whether you want to believe that or not isn't really important but it's something I've LONG been enthralled with, so my "ignorance" of the dark ages comment really doesn't have any ground on your part. Also, thanks for "disproving" my ignorance :)

You're also WRONG in saying that "in that thousand years, crime, vice, violence, drunkenness, disease, mortality, brutality, exploitation and injustice were immeasurably worse than before or after" and that it was that time that the church had the most power. The dark age is called the dark age because "mean were in the dark", and because of the lack of any recorded history from that era. It also has to do with the fact that a great empire once ruled Europe, and now that empire has fallen and the "great european whole" is now scattered. BTW the Church has remained just as strong and influencial, and was NOT at it's most powerful from 400ad to 1000ad which is what most people would concider the "dark ages"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ages < I'd also appreciate links to back up your arguments if you expect me to take them seriously

If we donâ??t learn from history, they will again throw us into another 1,000-year period of â??The Dark Agesâ?�.

These are wise words. If there is anything to learn from history, it's that we as a species have gone NOwhere in the way we think, and in the way we act. People have this arogant idea that the human race has improved. Our methods and technology are further developed sure, but we're no "smarter" or any better morally for sure. Just look at the pyramid of giza. They couldn't build a pyramid today that is so mathematically and scientifically perfect WITHOUT computers.

it's quite intresting.
