@Eventoast The God of the Bible and the God of the Quaran are two different figures. God can create anything he wants, he just did it this way. If you don't believe in God, fine. If you do than spread the word.

@BingoGIggleGoober I did not say that God of Universe was not intelligent. I said the God of Bible and Qur'an and rest of religions. There is no correlation between the intelligent God of Universe and the God of religions. Religions are man made to fool you that they represent the God of Universe. God of Universe created life forms, at the same time could have created talking trees and birds to teach you religion, not greedy, power hungry priest, Ayatalloh.. Use your brain!

@raverdeath100 It's not a battle between religion and science. Religion has nothing to do with it. It's a battle of Evolution(Junk science) verses Science. If you can't see that evolution and science disagree, you either don't understand evolution, or you don't understand science. (If you believe in evolution then you probably dont understand science anyway.)

@ukatam Don't know, I'm not God.

@jobjacco And you don't learn how to think, you think or you learn. You used to go to school to think(Back when the Bible was used as a textbook) Now you go to school to learn. There's a big difference, and that's why America is now made up of a bunch of idiots.

@jobjacco A painting has a painter, the universe has a maker. Do you think that a bunch of random paint splahes were thrown on a canvas to make the Mona Lisa? No, we know Leonardo Davinci painted it. Even though neither of us have seen him, or heard him, or have felt him, we know he painted the Mona Lisa. Now, you think inteligence had to have painted the Mona Lisa, but you don't think inteligence made all 500 trillion cells in Leonardo? -Think.

@jobjacco THat's one way to put it, but think about this: If God didn't create the universe, how does the universe exist? Answer me that without sounding stupid.

@Eventoast If God isn't inteligent, humans are completely stupid.

Its a shame to see the late Christopher Hitchens like that. the world needs more people like him. But I have a big concern regarding this. In america. people there grow up institutionalised to believe. when I hear things like "theyve come to hear the word against god" ,"plenty of preachers" and describing it as a "movement"Atheism risks becoming a fascist movement or even worse a religion.
