The problem with religious people is that they indiscriminately use anything whatsoever as supporting arguments. E.g. when they are cornered by a logical argument they simply declare it a contradiction. Hence, they cannot be taken seriously as their minds are corrupted and produce incoherent chains of thought. In short, they are wasting time in futile attempts to make sense or sound knowledgeable. In a religious universe anything goes. In the real one religion corrupts clear thinking.

no you dont win.. lol.. theres nothing linking them in evolution. there would be millions of so called transitional fossils with traits of both the predecessor and the successor. jumping conclusions.

u love god -> god exists

jumping conclusions

We are here, . so is matter, time and space. the smallest form of matter does not have an explanation to account for its existence in itself. you see all these videos of Ardipithecus ramidus missing link! Natural selection only occurs on the Phenotype and not the genotype, which only changes by random mutations. . when do we ever see an animal losing genetic capability to reproduce with its own kind.. and its companion of the opposite sex inheriting the same genetic mutations? doesn't happen.

Ur only proof of god is "I believe".Amusing.U ignore fact normal pple dont claim 2 know all details.U assume smtg is created just bcse we dont yet have scientfc explntion.A creator is a ludicrously lunatic concept, no offense.1)Laws of physics dont allow somtg 2 b created from nothg.2)Universe by defintn includes evrytg,nothg can b outside that created it.Study to find proof of god is waste of time.Been nice talkg 2 u, wish you well.Forgv me if I ignore u unless you realize ur errors.

[gordonculp]

im just pointing out errors, which you kind of ignord. we percive in the 3 demension, we can only perceive the world as we se it. but the theor of evoltion cannot account for the smallest form of matter existing in itself. how the hell can we be certain that theres nothing outside of the universe, if we havent even left out galaxy. you just contradicted yourself by saying that Laws of physics dont allow somtg 2 b created from nothg indeed something created the first cause. ignorance is strength.

[WeDontNeedNoReligion]

Sure. God created everything from nothing. Pardon my ignorance and thanks for the enlightenment. And then, who created god ? Ah, yes, your mind. But then, who created your mind ? Evolution. See ? Involving god in any argument leads to contradictions. Lose the idea and start reading books instead, you'll do yourself a favor. The bible is not suggested reading, it'll only confuse you.

@gordonculp: It seems to be that while hypothesizing an omnipotent, omniscient god may be an easy assumption it most certainly is not a simple one. You seem to think that such deities are "off-the-shelf", such that including them in your hypothesis is a casual, small-peanuts sort of decision that needn't be thought about over much. I would say that it is probably the largest such assumption imaginable, and that it should make any hypothesis requiring it automatically the least likely, by Ockham.

[gordonculp]

really? evolution is the answer for everything eh. god always existed. its a hard thing to beleive, but so is "nothing exploaded" then "evolved" into everything we have today, including LIFE! that takes alot of faith too. in all honestly what makes more sense, nothing exploading into life..(with billions of years) or a supreme cause or spark to start life.. and im not being religious at all.. intelligence and the ability to decide and perceive, from what have seen involves a mind.
