but not as much as the evidence backing up most religions. (everyother evolutionary discovery, debunks previous evolutionary facts, I've never seen any evidence to debunk any religious statements in the bible...archeology actually re-inforces the events in the bible)

believing in evolution for many people seems to me to be a polar opposites religion or something, it's based on beliefs that are unproven, many of which get disproven, and over time many more get disproven. most religious people have beliefs that are getting proven with each archeological discovery, nothing ever gets disproven (except for hoaxes/false religions of course). It's rather amusing to me.

don't get me wrong, I'm of the oppinion that the earth is way older than the 6000 years estimated by some biblical researchers, but I also belive that since God is omnipotent, that he also can control time, so 6000 years recorded could easily be 6 googleplex years to our miniscule understanding of space/time. I still believe their is a design to everything we see, many things in nature couldn't possibly have come to pass through random changes, there are too many things interwoven together that require extremely specific needs from everything in thier surroundings.

For religion, you can prove something is wrong and it still won't change

Have you ever seen anything prove something wrong in a religion?

Religion forbids any investigation that might disprove it.

That's quite possibly the most ignorent thing I've ever read, Religion is based on investigations to seek the truth of all things, religious scholors are constantly looking for things to prove/disprove religous beliefs, what they find are things that prove thier believes only because things that disprove them don't seem to exist, if you can't disprove something how can it be wrong?

/flamesuit on, while I run away to study proven faith, whilst you argue till your blue in the face about things that are not proven to be true.

lets just put it this way: science is repeatable, meaning that anyone, under the proper environments, can repeat what was proven. that is called a "fact", not a "theory".

as for religion, i'd like to see jesus to be borned again.

In 2000 years, archeology will appear to re-enforce the events in Forrest Gump.

Does that make the story true?

The stories in the bible are set among factual people, places and events to give them credence. Just as many modern urban myths are told. And just as the story Forrest Gump is told.

The fact is, there is no supporting evidence to back up the meat of the bible, that being the divinity of any Christ and the miracles of any Christ or God.

believing in evolution for many people seems to me to be a polar opposites religion or something, it's based on beliefs that are unproven, many of which get disproven, and over time many more get disproven and in fact only gets stronger. most religious people have beliefs that are getting proven with each archeological discovery, nothing ever gets disproven (except for hoaxes/false religions of course).

Evidence that a man named Jesus lived around two thousand years ago is not evidence that we were *poof* created from thin air. Evolutionary discoveries, even when they show previous assumptions to be incorrect, still help to fill in the missing gaps in the Theory of Evolution.

yup. that is all you have, evidence that a man exists. everything else is a bunch of mythology. and he doesn't seem to understand science. science can be wrong yes, but science allows for that, that is why it is so strong. if a new theory trumps an old one, it is accepted. while our understanding of components of evolution continue to evolve, the central idea of evolution has never been disproven. as for complexity, and random changes, they are not truely random, as physical laws and survival of the fittest do not allow for truely random selection. and complexity...just because something is too complex for your mind does not make it a creation of magic. that is just a cop out. when it comes down to it, the main creationist arguement is that they simply don't want to believe the world works this way, so instead, turn to magical explanations

Good point, just because Tokyo exists, Hiroshima was destroyed in the past, doesn't mean that Godzilla must exist.

The Bible is the Jew view of the world.

They have MOTIVE to LIE as the first 3/4s of the Bible is supposedly proving they are the CHOSEN people.

They are not.

Evolution is only a theory because its impossible to go back in time and actually watch it occur. Aside from that fact, there is NO doubt that evolution has occurred and is still going on across the world. Just because there's no 100% positive fossil record that links humans to chimps doesn't mean there's no evolution. There are millions of other species, all of which have evolved in often predictable and logical patterns.

Half my college education so far is based around evolution, and anyone who's taken one month of a college biology course can tell you that its a fact.

 

but not as much as the evidence backing up most religions. (everyother evolutionary discovery, debunks previous evolutionary facts, I've never seen any evidence to debunk any religious statements in the bible...archeology actually re-inforces the events in the bible)

bahahah

The jump from pond scum to human has not been documented.

im sorry but the first sentence is incorrect.

evolution is fact. the explanations for the mechanism of evolution are theories.

No that's fantasy.

But, but the bible...it is a written document...and I can feel inside me that it is real. What more proof do you need?

Bwahahaha! With grammar like that, no kidding people look down on them!

In some humans, there really isn't much of a difference at all...

In related news: Georgia's public education is still a joke.

I got your weeping "virgin" Mary statue right here!

Tell me she wasn't some whore who got a little on the side since her hubby couldn't "do it". Then claimed it was a miracle to prevent being stoned to death.

I got your membership right elsewhere for two weeks to learn about respect for your fellow members. Regardless of your feelings about religion in general or other members' religeous beliefs, your post is excessively mean spirited and disrespectful.

There's a theory out there that she was raped by a roman soldier.

Plus I find it amazing "western" religions are all following the writings of a bunch of middle eastern idiots from thousands of years ago. Look at the middle east now. Not much has changed over 2,000 years even with oil money. How could those monkeys spawn the "son of God" anyway?
