  Education

[omgwtflion]

In christianity you also believe in talking snakes, zombie apocalypse and virgin births. I think that explains alot about your understanding of the universe. I suggest you educate yourself, read a book other than the bible and add to your knowledge. Don't hide behind the dogma of bronze age beliefs that are of no use to us whatsoever.

You dont know the answers you idiot. you just have blind FAITH... thats the whole point of christianity ... FAITH.... meaning you "know" jack shit... Science deals in FACTS not FAITH.

Comics are not ment to entertain the ignorant , you obviously have never read a quiality comic book

[blakesc18]

That being said one is more entertaining than the other of course. I'd rather read about a spider bite turning a nerd into a superhero than reading about a talking snake tricking a man and a woman made from his rib. WTF!! His rib really? If you believe that go die and help Darwinism advance the human race

[blakesc18]

Who cares about what age Christianity came from? It is like saying what time were comics invented? They are both lies used to entertain the ignorant.

Proof for the Higgs Boson particle has been discovered in 2012 :-)

[rabbitwho]

I hate it when scientists waste their time talking and thinking about God.
