Why do you all insist on saying 'no offence' before expressing your opinion. Just because somebody says god is BS, should not offend anyone. If you are offended by what people say about your religion or about god, i have one thing to say to you. Worry about yourself. I can't stand when people are 'offended' by what other people think or say about their religion. Especially when it contradicts people's religion.

Personally, I think the bible is bullshit, god is bullshit, angels, church, all of that, is bullshit. I think more than half the world is delirious. I think the bible is no more than a book to entertain and explain. If i offended you with my words, You just worry about yourself, and stop worrying about what other people say or think. Sure you can explain your side of the 'aguement' but i dont want to hear 'your words offended me'' crap. I think there is so much more to the universe than the human mind can ever comprehend. There are truths about this world and the universe that the human mind will NEVER understand. And i think the bible and all relgions, science even, are just ways to explain the world and the universe, however there is no way we will ever know if any of it is true.

I am a firm believer in evolution. I think it is silly(steps on ppl's toes) the way ppl think about evolution and creationism. My father is a minister. When I was a Christian, I ask him one day, about his personal beliefs on evolution. He told me it was bunk. I ask why is it bunk?he went on and on, and on about the bible. I said Well, Why can't evolution and creationism go hand and hand. First off I don't believe in creationism, But at the time,I did(years ago).I told him,why couldn't god(the soo called god that I believed in at the time)guided evolution. and it took eoms of time to get to this point in evolution.

I grew up in a Christian family, and every Sunday my parents brought me to church to learn the word of god. As I grew up, the more I began to think about religion and this idea of a god, and the more it came to me, isn't this a bit silly? This almighty powerful god for some reason created this extraordinarily complex universe and then left without showing shed of proof of his existence. I have talked with many religious people and have tried to understand their reasoning as to why they believe in god, and there answer ultimately comes down to faith. Nothing more than faith; is it just me or is taking an idea completely on faith a little naïve? Doesnâ??t it make so much more sense that the universe has came to be as we perceive to be today by a process that can be explained logically? That perhaps planet earth is just one of many sites in the universe where the conditions for life are right? And on this small little planet orbiting an average star, in an average spiral galaxy, in a small corner of the universe life evolved into complex forms and sometime very recently, highly intelligent beings came to be. Overwhelmed by the beauty and complexity of the world they inhabited, they began to try and piece together the puzzle. Without science or any other method of rational analysis, early thinkers invented gods to explain what they had no other way of explaining. Through the ages wars were waged against different civilizations, in the name of god or the gods they believed in. Entire civilizations and beliefs were wiped out. Does all of this sound so ridiculous? Why canâ??t we just accept that earth isnâ??t really anything that special, and life as we know it developed on earth through chemical processes and evolved into more complex forms, and religion and other old ideas that attempt to explain how we came to be are just inventions of early civilizations and are no longer applicable? While I have completely disregarded the idea of religion for some time now, only recently has it really angered me. Like conservatives withholding the rights of gay people from marrying, just because some book says itâ??s bad. While I am straight, if I were gay I would be one pissed off individual. Even today wars are waged in the name of god. Entire countries at each others throats just because they believe in a different god or set of beliefs. I could go on but I can already see this post is getting quite long, and many people who pass by it might not be interested in reading it. So, why does the majority of the world still believe in a god or gods? Why canâ??t we release ourselves from what has been lagging our evolution as a society?

We have evidence of evolution on our bodies, from our webbed hands and feet, to the "once" second-eyelid, which is now junk in the corner of our eyeball. We don't use our appendix, anymore, so pretty soon we'll evolve to where we don't have one.

Just like stupid people will evolve to a race of brain-less humans.

Awesome post, theone2334.

I agree. Humanity will never progress positively while we're still hung up on religion, and also gaining meterial wealth. And the reason being; those who believe in religion don't want to change, even if the change is for the better, and those with the material wealth definately don't want to change, even if it's for the good of our race. People are too self absorbed and greedy.

I don't think we have a choice on this, no matter what our beliefs. Evolution takes milleniums, our belief for the past couple thousand years isn't gonna stop our arms from digressing after we learn to use our brains instead.

Evolution is just a theory, just as E=mc2 is a theory, funny thing though, compress that ball of plutonium as Einstien suggested, and Nagasaki gets evaporated. Go figure.
