You know what's even easier to disprove than creationism? Christianity. SO much evidence that contradicts how the bible was truly written, where it came from...Blah.

I have never used that arguement. I don't use the bible as evidence just because it's a book. I use the bible because it can be verified by, historical, archaeogical, spiritual, scientifica, astronimical, and other types of evidence.
sun is shining:
You know how many times I've heard this? People say this all the time and give absolutely no evidence to back it up. It's just one of those ideas that people have been indoctrinated with like "nobody's perfect". Prove it. Christians give lots of evidence for creation, for the validity of the gospel and the torah and nobody heeds hardly a word, and then non believers come along and show you some old bones and a some fictional book saying that Jesus had sex with mary magdeline and some french girl is the holy grail and the whole world bows down.Quote:

Just as he uses the knowledge acquired from his studies to back up his points. again, just because some of the bible check out in history, it doesn't make every part of the book true. I refuse to use a book that uses talking donkeys and snakes/serpents as evidence.Quote:

I think this issue is important - less as a matter of faith or "who's right and wrong" - but more an issue of our future, culture and society in the face of bronze age mythology.
to be entirely honest delta9...I don't think you have to worry about the future...there's too many people who will believe tangible evidence over raving madmen. If I were a hardcore Christian, or one of those Creationists...after reading this entire post I'd be re-thinking my stance here. I think the future, as far as our origin is concerned will be ok. I'm more worried about the views Cannabis will have.

Sciences that have to do with pre-human states of the universe would have to be rejected as false or even nonsensical.
