Agnostics question both and point out all the flaws in these theories. The fact is, we don't know.

"It is wrong always, everywhere and for everyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence."

[Mephistophilese]

Exactly, we don't know our origins, however we can accept Evolution as fact taking into consideration the empirical evidence. We can also dismiss Christianity unequivocally for the same reason. Atheists generally, I think you would find, are agnostic by degree; in other words any intelligent atheist would be open to the idea of a deistic god as opposed to a theistic god.

Your point seems to imply the we have a choice only between evolutionist theory and Christianity.

[Shayrah]

My point does not "seem to imply" anything. The video above claims only two choices, I claimed WE DON"T KNOW yet.

I have already "found" that atheists are just as agnostic as any Christian who occasionally questions the existence of God...that is to say, NOT agnostic.

As far as evolution being a "fact"...Yes, things evolve. Yes, the Earth is obviously older than 6,000 years. BUT, we have yet to prove that lizards turn into monkeys or that living things come from non-living things.

[JemyM]

I am a Swede and I was searching the net for some good documentaries on Aristotle to my Philosophy lessons and I ran into Mark Steel Lectures. I downloaded every single one of them. It was a remarkable experience I learned alot and laughed as much. :)

[MarkarseTHOM]

What next invisible unicorns?

By the way I was being sarcastic.

But from the evolutionist point of opinion we came from a cosmic burp billions of years ago.

Known as the Big bang which exploded from nothingness.

Can a explosion explode from nothing?

If you cant prove that, what can you prove?

Come from monkey's, no wonder we have monkey brains.

[bobzilla211]

I'd rather believe that the universe can 'come from nothing' (if it was that simple) than that that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

[stoneroses1985]

Type this into google:

"The cosmic microwave background radiation temperature at a redshift of 2.34"

[MarkarseTHOM]

I was a confused, confused boy. That's what comes from being dogmatic I suppose.

[sketchydc]

Explaining how nothing exploded:

This isn't a nothing we can comprehend, its a total absense of ANYTHING. Not space, just a nothingness. No colour, no mass, no laws of physics.

And without laws of physics, nothing can explode. Just because.

Without the law of linear time, it could decide to borrow a nuke from 1980's USSR, it could decide that it felt like throwing out lots of planets and then dispersing itself... because it was a total nothingness, this CAN happen due to quantum.

[GothicEmilyBat]

MARK STEEL IS A GENIUS!

There is no such word or phrase as 'ise', 'der', 'youse', or 'yose'. I suggested that you may be illterate. Now I can remove 'may'; You are illiterate!
