Sigh. Christianity is centralised in main beliefs - like the immaculate conception, resurrection - I respect that people can choose to believe these as miracles, but science is highly sceptical. Talk to some scientists, the creationists seem to have misled you.


We weren’t there I’m sure if we were scientists would studied him.

Scientists have gotten a lot wrong such as claiming whole civilizations didn’t exist that did. Science is always changing what we know today as right will be wrong tomorrow.
That’s the problem with a lot of scientists today they no longer challenge stuff they’ve become group think and gotten lazy. The pioneers had to go up against such group think to make a lot of what we know today happen. Or we’d still be following scientists who said the earth is flat and the sun revolves around the earth. They were scientists and they knew better. They all agreeed it was try and fact. Then a few said I don’t think so but all they had was their belief in something no one could see.

True scientists never accept anything as fact or true. They keep open mind do everything.

Last I heard they were studying a solar system that defies our theory of gravity. So the law of gravity might not be a law in 100 years.

I just don't have any faith in the existence of a God.

If somebody believes there's a God, who am I to dispute it? I just don't believe there is one.

I believe life was "created" and proliferated via evolutionary processes.

I agree. Americans are a strange and illogical bunch of people. There are normal ones, but they seem to be over shadowed by people with bizarre ideas.

Whether the big bang theory is accurate or not, it has nothing to do with evolution on earth. Humans are still evolving, though the process has been slowed down by people having kuds who wouldn’t have otherwise, due to illness, lack of life skills etcetera.

sly, there's no movement called "Evolutionism" - not in this century at least.

The term "evolutionist" is a degrading term that creationists use to scientists; as if evolution is a kind of unsupported belief.

Scientists "believe" in evolution due to the tons of evidences; it is the backbone of the biology science.
chrsitians said the same thing in the mid evil times. Sorry but I’ll keep calling people who believe in pure evolution that.
There’s micro and macro evolution. There isn’t any proof we evolved from aps hench the missing link search.
What missing link search? Who's looking for the missing link? They've already found dozens of missing links.

It's easy to say there's no proof we evolved from apes. I could just as easily say London doesn't exist. That wouldn't make it true.

We share common dna which just proves we are similar to them. Over time animals do adapt to their surroundings=micro evolution.
And evolution is just micro-evolution on a larger scale. I find it very amusing that in recent years creationists have been admitting that micro-evolution is real. It suggests that evolution is so undeniable that even the creationists have to admit it's true.
sly279 wrote:
Can’t prove the Big Bang theory either. Theories aren’t facts.
Don't you mean hypotheses aren't facts? Is it a fact that London exists? Can you prove it exists?

As for the big bang theory, what's to prove? It just says that, because the universe is expanding, it must have expanded from a smaller point. It doesn't explain the origin of that smaller point anymore than evolution explains abiogenesis.

We as humans don’t know much and we probably never know a lot including how we came about. Not unless someone travels back in time with a camera.
You are quite right. Atheists shouldn't be too certain they know how the universe originated. Yet there are Christians who are entirely certain they know how the universe originated. No human can know for sure, right?
sly279 wrote:
Also there is too a evolution movement . Evolution doesn’t equal science and science doesn’t equal evolution. That’s what I hate about atheists you all assume science is on your side and only atheist can be scieniests hate to break it to you a lot of Christians including creationists are scientists. They’ve discovered a lot of stuff and invented stuff too. They study the Universe too.
Yes, science supports evolution. Evolution is necessary to the understanding of biology in the same way atoms and molecules are necessary to the understanding of chemistry.

The reason why biologists don't usually engage with creationists is because it would be like an electrical engineer engaging with someone who doesn't believe in the existence of electricity.

It's easy for a creationist to call himself a scientist. I could call myself the king of england but that wouldn't make it true.

I read a really good paper on the evolution of photosynthesis, explaining in amazing detail how the different plant organelles shared a common ancestor. This would be so far above the level of the creationists who call themselves creation scientists that it just wouldn't be worth their time. Why spend time proving something to someone who deliberately ignores every piece of evidence?

The evidence for evolution is clearly seen so that men are without excuse.

You thinking of super Christians that like you atheist take the Bible literally. The Bible was written by imperfect humans with agendas and based off human views of the universe. Not like god dropped the Bible out of the sky one day. The Catholic Church in all its corruption sat down and decided what would get in and what would be removed. Doubt god had anything to do with that.
You are quite right. I'm sure there are a lot of imperfections in the Bible and that's ok.

But the so-called creation scientists are among those who say that the Bible is perfect. You'll never hear a creationist scientist say the Bible was written by people with an agenda. You'll never hear a creationist scientist say talk about the time the Catholic church sat down at Nicaea and decided which books they would deem canonical and which books they would deem apocryphal.

Sly, I know you're smarter than the creationist scientists. Those creationist scientists are biblical literalists. You're not a biblical literalist, are you.

Even the Bible itself says "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy 3:16-17 - KJV)

Other translations say scripture is "spirited breathed" or "god breathed". If the man who wrote that had an agenda, I'm sure he would find it very convenient to say that everything he writes was breathed into him from God.

When Paul said this is so "the man of God may be perfect", he was probably talking about himself.

What really worries me is when people start saying the Bible is objectively perfect and that it contains objectively perfect morality.

There may even be politicians who think Biblical morality is objectively perfect. Would you want those guys writing the laws for your country? How do you think that would affect your life?

RetroGamer, you pretty much said what I was going to say. I will add to the bit about the Big Bang theory, though.

The Big Bang theory is an astrophysics theory while the theory of evolution is a biological theory. If you proved one wrong, it wouldn't cancel the other one out. The only reason you see the two put together often is because of books on the history of life but that's just to give a general summary of life itself.

And they say us gamers are lazy and ignorant. :roll:

The Bible Belt is hugely responsible for making America as a whole look stupid. The backwards rednecks and religious morons have the loudest voices because they don't think twice about what they are going to say.

Idiocracy is becoming more and more true.

Religion arguments will get the thread locked so I’m not reading the replies and therefore not responding.

Online dating a isn't pointless for men. You just have to be competitive. Make yourself better. Lose weight, get a better job, etc. You're in competition with other men.

Are men really competing for women? Yes. Yes we are. I don't think that's a bad thing. I like the challenge. It's the ultimate game. It's the greatest entertainment since the fall of Rome! The only thing that's missing is the Coliseum!!

The Bible Belt Coliseum would look like a NASCAR track except you can go anywhere you want and you can shoot each other.

They are ruining what our beloved and sacred L&D section is supposed to be about - Gender wars, sexism, lonely men complaining, bitter Feminists with no need for a man annoying them, Redpill/PUA/MGTOW gurus, wisecrackers, Face of Boo, online dating complaint threads, and utter, utter toxic misery.

How dare they ruin our therapy group. :lol:
