Religion - Page 7

i like to bring spice this board up once in a while

hahaha evolution is a theory that can be observed tested data can be goatherd for it. and done over and over and over and over. with the same results. with all the research that can be done with this one comes with the conclusion that we evolved from single cell organism.. kinda like the theory of gravity. you cant feel it infront of you or see it but how do we know its there because when you drop a ball it will fall to the ground.... over and over and over and over ect. thus coming to the conclusion that it exist.

you just cant do that to religion... all you guys have is faith.... faith is an unproven idea that you believe is true.
so dont feel sorry for me wanting to actually be knowledgeable about this world and everything around it. instead of believing in fairy tales. and when i die ill be sure to uuhmm uhmm. die. because thats whats going to happen. nothing. just death. nothing more nothing less... so instead of living my life to die. im going to live my life and try to improve this world while im in it. because there is nothing more afterwards. and one way to improve the world is by eradicating religions.

lol not in a violent way though. but through making people understand what the difference between fairy tales and science is and having them educated.

We had this EXACT SAME discussion in my Religion class today [and yes, it is a college class...not some biased, denominational individual study course]. It's funny how people change the word "theory" around to better suit their agenda. A theory is as follows: a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact. Evolution is NOT a fact yet every time someone tries to say "Well, I believe in some form of creationism" they are immediately called an idiot. Just because you don't believe in creationism doesn't mean you have to put down people that do. There is NO PROOF either way. I cannot prove that there is a God in heaven [even though that is what I believe] BUT at the same time, no one has ever given me an explanation of how the world came about.

Just because something is supposed to be "scientific" does not mean it is infallible. You shouldn't put down others religions and beliefs just because you think otherwise. That is NOT what this thread was created for.

And yes crass, I can have it both ways. It's called theistic evolutionary THEORY [once again with the word THEORY] and just because YOU don't subscribe to it, doesn't mean it is wrong. Open your mind a little and don't try to make other people out to be ignorant just because they have different perspectives.

I would really hate to lock this thread just because I thought it would make for good conversation. If we're going to make this into a Scopes trial-esque battle then I'll just delete some posts and move on. Let's be civilized and not insulting.


[btw: any degrading of ANYONE'S beliefs [i.e. calling Biblical stories "fairy tales"] will no longer be tolerated. Respect others.
