That “fact” wasn’t fun at all.
On topic (thanks, Catz), I have two questions (unless you guys want this thread to die):
One, evolution is about life after it’s already formed so isn’t “Evolution versus creation” comparing apples to oranges?
Two, what do those that think that creation by an intelligent force, deity, or whatever think of the following video?
“Creation” is usually interpreted fundamentalistically, that life was created in its current form for its current roles, and has no need to change (likely with no mechanism FOR change). It would conflict with the theory of evolution.
Since the unearthing of more and more fossil evidence in favour of evolution, however, there have been new holy-solutions which propose the first life was intelligently created, and that subsequent evolution happened naturally (or with some guidance), perhaps through natural mechanisms as intended by the architect.
Overall I don’t see how apples-to-oranges fits in here. :3
The best I would sum it is:[INDENT]Mechanism: Strict Creationism, Intelligent Design, Theory of Evolution
Inception: Construction, Construction, Probability
Development: none, Suggestion, Natural Selection[/INDENT]
Basically evolutionists are all thankful that a certain protein said “I’m going to make another me” one day. Creationists are thankful that God said “I’m going to make everything” one day.
What if God said “I’m going to make matter that will eventually make proteins that will say ‘I’m going to make another me’ in a few billion years.”?
Then everyone’s happy but the scientologists.
Right?
No, because there’s still a god there for no reason.
what’s the point of him being there if we’ve shown it does it all by itself
it just seems like something extra in an already complicated process
That’s pretty much what she was saying daniel. :brow:
Applying Occams Razor would mean there is no God. And by everything we KNOW, there really isn’t.
Seems like a good compromise between science and magic, right?
…but if he could set that into motion, why did he stop at that?
Fucking lazy underachiever, that’s what he is…
I think we can probably all come to a logical deduction that God exists, but most importantly, sucks.
any logical deduction at all leads me to believe that god is implausible if not impossible.
thank you for attempting to inform me of what i was just fucking invoking
One has tons of evidence, and one is in an ancient book.
We used to think the world was flat, so why deny evolution? Are Christian brains really that primative?
Curious, I only come to the logical deduction that god doesn’t exist. How about that.
:ninja:d with better wording 
Kudos for the Minchin, but of all Tim’s songs, in a religious debate thread, why THAT one?! The Good Book, Storm or Ten Foot Cock would have been ideal.
I was agreeing with you and providing others a link to the subject if they had a need for more information on it. 
Chill.
NO YOU WEREN’T YOU THOUGHT SHE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT SHE WAS REFERRING TO SHUT UP
ok im done
Might I attempt some fuel to this fire?
There are many many many areas in the Bible that state things that are obviously not taken literally. Everyone believes science when science says that the sky is not solid. All Christians believe this unequivocally, even though Job 37:18 says the sky is as hard as a metal mirror. Christians believe this even though Genesis 1 indicates that the sky is a dome holding up water. Even though the word “firmament” specifically implies a solid dome. Also no one believes that the world is held up on pillars, even though 1 Sam. 2:8 says that it is.
